Tenses!
Monster of disguise
Right now, most sixteen-year-old girls are juggling schoolwork, friends and going to concerts but Lara
Wirth from Melbourne has quite a different hobby. Several times a week, the self-taught special effects
make-up and body artist transforms herself into monsters, reptiles and creative characters. She has
done hundreds of face and body paintings over the last two years and believes that her blue, giant-
teethed ‘Monster’ creation is the best thing that she has done so far. Her designs have been getting
bigger and better all year, something you can see from her Instagram page, where she regularly shares
her creations. Lara has picked up many fans since the Instagram homepage featured one of her photos.
In fact, this year alone she has gained an extra 50,000 followers. Typically, Lara spends much of her
week on her hobby but as her exams are coming up, she’s got less time. So, for the time being, she is
creating just one design a week but hopes to pursue her passion as a career one day soon.

The problem with stereotypes

School stereotypes are largely an invention of the American movie industry and a consistently annoying lie that
we’re just expected to accept. They create stories that are basically based on joke characters, rather than complex
individuals that are closely modelled on real-life people. It’s careless writing, and a lot of it just encourages
mean behavior. For example, if you believe the movie versions, the most popular girl in school can be openly
rude or make ridiculous demands on all her other classmates and they just give in to her. Where I’m from in
Ireland, that kind of thing is relatively unknown. If you bully the people around you, you are never popular, no
matter how popular you are. It’s readily accepted that even the shyest girl in school would not hold back if
someone insulted her straight out. No one would put up with that – it’s just so unrealistic. And how many kids
really want to spend their lives trying to live up to the expectations of others? Most people just want to get on
with each other.
