Hello Readers.

Welcome to the April Issue of Rogue Magazine. This

month’s edition is full to bursting with articles on

Fashion, Food, Culture, Travel, Poetry, Music, Film,

Sport & Lifestyle.

When looking at content for Issue 2, we decided to give

articles a historical flavour – but with a contemporary

twist. And this, to me, is the legacy of the Centenary –

looking at Ireland today through the reflections of the

past.

Proclamation for a New Generation was an “action

learning” project which invited all primary and post-

primary schools to write a new proclamation for 2016 to

reflect the values, hopes and aspirations of the

generation of 2016. This culminated in Proclamation

Day on March 15th. St. Patricks Day parades celebrated

the many communities that are integral to the fabric of

modern Ireland.

Along with thousands of

others, we visited the 1916

commemorations held in

Dublin last month - and what

an incredible display of the

'Best of Ireland'. Modern story

telling using cutting edge

technologies and visual

displays at its finest.

As with all things, new visions

in art, writing and theatre

come about from reflecting on

the past.

One such vision was the

'Uniformity' exhibition in the

window of Arnotts

Department Store on Henry

Street (just around the corner

from the GPO on O'Connell

Street). The exhibit, which

was created by second year

fashion design students from

Griffith College in Dublin,

showcased modern-day

outfits inspired by 12 brave

and spirited Cumann na

mBan volunteers who played

a part in the 1916 Rising.

LIFESTYLE FASHION : 1916 to 2016

Shaped by History

by Grace Galvin

Student Roisin Bowling drew

the name of Margaret

Skinnider out of the hat and

was quickly smitten by the

Scot drawn into the Glasgow

division of Cumann na mBan

by Countess Markievicz.

Roisin's fitted dress and coat

trimmed with a brown leather

belt are striking and convey

modernity mixed with

nostalgia. When you look at it

in the window however, it is

the hole in the middle that

attracts your attention.

Reading the bio by the stand

the designer explains

"Margaret Skinnider was shot

three times in the shoulder on

April 26 as she was leading an

arson attack on Harcourt

Street. I incorporated

traditional elements of the

Cumann na mBan uniform and

coupled it with a strong

contemporary silhouette.

Margaret's uniform was cut in

half to treat her wounds.

This imagery inspired my

ideas of separating the uniform

to display her wound as a

badge of honour".

Margaret Skinnider

28 May 1892 – 10 Oct 1971 Revolutionary and feminist. Born in Coatbridge, Scotland.

The second new design vision

comes, not from war, but from

weddings.

Castletownbere woman,

Caoimhe Keane, took the

Easter 1916 nostalgia and

created something new.

This ivory tulle dress has hand-

embellished lace and

embroidery work with a blush

slip, long sleeves and a puddle

train. The veil was an important

accessory of the time - worn like

a long mantle and held in place

with a crochet or beadwork

headpiece.

It is interesting to compare the modern gown with

old wedding photographs taken from the 1916 era.

One such photograph comes from an eminent

Limerick family, the O'Mara's.

This 1910 photograph was taken on the wedding of

their daughter, Nell, to Jim Sullivan. He was 40 and

she was 28 when they married.

The family lived in Strand House on North Strand

(now O'Callaghan Strand) where the Strand Hotel

now stands.

The society style of the day can be seen in the

dresses of Nell’s sister, Mary (right-side of the door)

and sister in law Agnes (to the right of Mary).

Thankfully the hats never came back into fashion!

CULTURE : Kathleen’s Story

by Mairead Hannon

LIFESTYLE

A biography of an extremely important Limerick woman who went through heart break and sorrow all for the cause of a free country.

Kathleen Clarke née Daly was

born in 1878 in Limerick.

She married Thomas Clarke and

subsequently moved to New

York.

The Clarke family moved back to

Dublin in November 1907 so that

Tom could help reinvigorate the

IRB. The tobacconist shop they

opened in Dublin became a front

for IRB activities.

Kathleen was such an intricate

part of the planning for the Easter

Rising in 1916, that the IRB

entrusted her with rebuilding the

organisation if the Rising failed.

After the surrender of the Volunteers on 29 April, Kathleen’s husband,

Thomas, and brother, Edward Daly, were arrested, tried, and sentenced to

be executed. She visited them at Kilmainham Gaol before their executions.

The stress and sorrow led to her miscarriage of the child she was carrying a

few weeks later.

After the Rising, Kathleen worked with Michael Collins to rebuild the IRB.

She joined the newly formed Sinn Féin in 1917. She supported anti-treaty

forces during the subsequent Civil War and, because of these activities,

was held in Kilmainham Gaol in February 1923.

After the war she continued her political work, becoming a founding member

of Fianna Fáil in 1926 and Dublin’s first female Lord Mayor in 1939.

inspired show using NASA projections and

Manga inspirations.

This show took on a slightly different appeal,

venturing out from their norm. Louis Vuitton used

the clothing style as a metaphor for armour. They

demonstrated the edgier style by creating outfits

which are coded. The look involved leather,

mesh, metal embroidered skirts etc. Different and

edgy.

Spanish Feel Designers such as

Michael Kors and

Jonathon Simkhai

all incorporated

feels of Spanish

culture into their

shows, with bold

LIFESTYLE TRAVEL : Dubai Teens Uncovered by Mary Kate O’Connor

As part of my transition year work experience, I have been in the United Arab

Emirates for the past 8 weeks.

During this time, I

have interacted

with students from

all over the world

and have learned

a lot about them -

what they do in

their spare time,

how they view us

at home and what

their plans for the

future are. I got the

pupils I met to fill

out the following

questionnaire

about themselves

and their lives here

in order to give our

readers an insight

into the average

Middle Eastern

teen in comparison

to teenagers in

Ireland.

I was surprised to find that we are both very alike …and yet very different in

many ways.

Rogue Magazine

12

1. What do you think of Ireland? Over half of girls think Ireland is a beautiful

and wonderful country. The remaining 25% of girls didn’t know anything about

Ireland! This was an eye opener for me because sometimes we think life begins

and ends in Ireland.

2. Would you like to visit Ireland some day? 90% of girls would love to visit

Ireland.

3. Do you like living in the UAE? A whopping 100% of those surveyed like

living in the UAE! I was surprised by this overwhelmingly positive response. The

standard of living is high so it comes as no surprise in one way but I doubted

whether the response would have been as resounding if I asked a group of Irish

teens?!

4. What is your favourite place to go to in the UAE that you would

recommend to Irish Teens visiting the UAE? The girls surveyed

recommended Dubai Mall, JBR, Kite Beach, Downtown Dubai, Ferrari World

and Atlantis Waterpark to Irish teens visiting the UAE.

5. Have you been to many countries outside of the UAE on holidays? If

so, what countries have you been to? All the girls surveyed have travelled

outside of the UAE. The most common destinations were Italy, Lebanon, China,

Turkey, Egypt, Australia, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Korea, Austria,

Germany, Thailand, UK, Greece, Canada, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the Kingdom of

Saudi Arabia and the USA.

6. Do you think it's easier being a teenager in the UAE or in Ireland? 75%

answered UAE. 25% said Ireland because “the transportation system is better

in Ireland”. Upon further research I learned that traffic is a major issue here in

the UAE (during my time here I have experienced this) and the public transport

system is still in its infancy so the daily commute is rough. For a lot of us at

home we can walk to school, work etc. but due to the intense heat that is not

possible here.

LIFESTYLE TRAVEL : Dubai Teens Uncovered Continued

Rogue Magazine

7. What after school activities do you take part in? Over 25% surveyed do

not take part in any after school activites. This was a shocking statistic given

that there is a huge emphasis on extra curricular activities at home.The

remaining 75% of pupils take part in basketball, softball, netball, piano, art,

photography, jogging, tennis, the ‘Student Life Organization’ and horse back

riding.

8. What do you do for fun outside of school? 50% of the girls surveyed hang

out with their friends. 15% spend time with their family and 35% participate in

activities such as skating, going to the movies, horseriding and shopping. Not

too dissimilar to their Irish counterparts!

9. If you won 10,000 dirhams (€2,500) how would you spend it? 35% of the

girls said they would spend the money shopping and another 30% said they

would donate the money to charity (far more altruistic than the average Irish

teen I reckon!). The other girls said they would 1) invest the money, 2) spend it

on their family and 3) save it for college

10. What musicians and TV series are you interested in? The majority of

girls over here are interested in the same music and TV series as us in Ireland

and the UK. Music such as English Pop as well as TV shows like Pretty Little

Liars and The Vampire Diaries were mentioned. The remaining girls like Arabic

music and 25% of those surveyed like Turkish TV series, the girls have even

taught themselves to understand Turkish in order to enjoy the soaps!

11. What clothing trends are in fashion for girls your age in the UAE

currently? The clothing trends are similar to Ireland and the UK. The girls wear

croptops, high waisted jeans and ripped jeans. They also have trends in the

traditional Arab dress known as the abaya. They mentioned that various

coloured abayas and abayas with a slit on the side are in vogue at the moment.

12. Do you use your phone frequently? If so, how many times a day? 100%

of students said they use their phone frequently with 75% saying they use it as

much as possible and 25% saying the use it only when they receive notifications.

I would guesstimate that findings would be similar in Ireland.

13. What social media apps do you use the most and why? The surveyed

girls said they love Snapchat because they enjoying watching snaps of people. A

few also liked Instagram because it is interesting but none of they girls surveyed

like Facebook because it is ‘boring’.

14. What would you like to study in University? 95% know what they want to

study after school and all of them mentioned a wide variety of professions such

as Psychology, Journalism, Law, Graphic Design, Fashion , Criminology,

A big thanks to all the girls who helped with the

above findings. I had a fantastic time shadowing

two different schools in Dubai & Sharjah.

Medicine, Media,

Arts and Design,

Business and

Engineering.

Having spoken to the

University advisor, I

learned that the vast

majority of Arab

students go on to

study engineering

(namely petroleum

and chemical

engineering) or

Medicine. Unlike at

home, the Arts are

not as valued or

invested in, there

seems to be a much

Hi, I'm Sophie and I think it's fair to say

I'm a sports addict.

I currently play soccer u18's and

ladies, Gaelic football u18, u16 and

ladies and camogie for my county and

club ladies. I eat, drink and live for

sport. I think sport is hugely important

in a teenagers life in the modern

society. It is a brilliant stress reliever

and also keeps you fit and active.

Sport contributes majorly to your

health both physical and mental. I am

a firm believer in hard work and

training and personally I think training

is the only way to improve. Putting in

the hard work and pain truly does pay

off. As the saying goes. "Hard work

beats talent when talent doesn't work”.

Some words I would use to describe

the perfect sportsperson would be:

passionate, committed, determined,

loyal and honest to themselves.

LIFESTYLE SPORT : It’s a Way of Life

by Sophie O’Callaghan

There is no point training or

practicing unless you push

yourself to the limit every time.

Every time you step off that field

you should be able for no more.

The only advice I would have for

anyone is to find a sport you love

and play it. Don't ever be afraid

and don't ever let anyone hold you

back. Rogue Magazine

It is the year 2016 and we are all leading hectic lives so, therefore, I’m going

to give you some simple life hacks to get through life without the struggle.

I’m going to start with what I think is a favourite for everyone. Food. Eating

your food slowly will help with weight loss. (Not something you would expect

to hear.) So don’t starve yourself, enjoy your food, reduce stress and have

better digestion. Seeing as summer is just around the corner, here’s one for

those sweltering summer days. If you store your freezies upright in the

freezer, you get a guaranteed clean cut every time. No need to deal with

broken freezies anymore.

For the healthy folk out there, here are some life hacks you might be

interested in. First of all, deep breathing for a couple of minutes a day is like

a massage for your internal organs. It improves your entire bodies

circulation. All you have to do is breath! Another interesting one is that

brushing your teeth straight after eating can damage your teeth. Instead,

wash your mouth with water for a few seconds before brushing.

And finally guys, I just have some life tips in general. There’s no longer any

need to worry if you don’t have any makeup remover. Baby oil works just as

well. A recent study showed that sleeping without a bra on can improve the

quality of your sleep by over 95%. It’s also been proven that it can be an

effective way of treating insomnia. So no more sleepless nights girls!

Until next month, I hope all you readers have easier day-to-day lives with

the help of a few of these life hacks.

If you haven't already heard the youngest of the Kardashian Jenner family,

Kylie, has brought out her own line of lip products. When the 18 year old

brought out the first three Kylie lip kits they had sold out within 3 minutes. Each

lip kit includes a lip liner and a liquid lipstick, They retail at $29.00 USD on her

website kyliecosmetics.com. The first three colours released were Dolce K,

Candy K, and True Brown K. The three colours were neutral tones with True

Brown K being the boldest of the three as it is a rich brown colour exactly as

the name suggests.

.

Kylie hasn't stopped at her lip kits. She has recently brought out three lip gloss

shades ‘Like’, ‘Literally’ & ‘So Cute’. They are three beautiful nude colours that

would suit most skin shades. They are also available

on kyliecosmetics.com for $15.00 USD.

Kylie has surprised everyone by bringing out her metals collection. They are

liquid lipsticks that dry in a matte effect but they are full of glitter and give the

effect of metal. They can be bought on her website for $18.00 USD. She

released three different shades ‘King K’, ‘Reign’ and ‘Heir’.

We wish Kylie the best of luck in the future and we are so excited to see what

she has in store for us.

MOVIES : TITANIC 1912 disaster retold on Twitter

by Grace Galvin

Titanic Sinks - April 15, 1912

Everyone knows the story of the

Titanic; whether it’s a memory

from primary school or that movie

where love can conquer all, even

the icy seas. One way or another,

the story is as poignant as it was

the day the Titanic hit the ill-fated

iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean.

There were 2,242 people on board

the ship, 1,513 of which lost their

lives that night - 8 of those whom

came from Limerick.

In the early hours of the morning on

April 15, 2016, Real Time History

blog site @events_bl tweeted out in

‘real-time’ the sinking of the Titanic,

104 years after it happened. What is

it like, watching one of the biggest

peacetime maritime tragedies play

out in real-time? And just like when

you watched Jack's fingers slip

below the water (I think we can all

agree the statute of limitations has

expired on that spoiler) there's

nothing you can do to stop it.

MOVIES : ”The Sharks” The Art of Movie Making

by Clio Hartnett

Rogue Magazine

One of my friends is hugely into filmmaking, and for the last few years I have

been helping her with writing/acting in her films, and so working with her really

inspired me to make one of my own. I sat down, wrote the script, casted some

of my friends, and we spent two very cold days shooting in People’s Park &

my house.

It took me a few days to edit, and then I sent it off to Fresh Film Festival,

which is a film festival for filmmakers under the age of eighteen.

Unfortunately, it didn’t progress past the heats of the competition.

In my opinion, in order to improve your filmmaking, you must learn through

trial and error - from making films and making mistakes. One of the mistakes I

made during “The Sharks,” was that I didn’t have good audio equipment, so

the film sounded VERY windy. Lack of preparation resulted in quite a lot of

time wasted while shooting. But for the next film I make, I know how to

improve these things, so I’ll make a better film. I hope this tip helps you if you

want to try filmmaking. It’s highly likely that your first film won’t be the best, but

it’s a huge learning curve and I’m really glad that I did it.

The film itself is about two girls, Freddy (Sadhbh Collins) and Skye (Emer

White). Freddy is walking in the park one day after school, and comes across

and old childhood friend (Skye) sitting on a bench, in a sleeping bag. The

story unfolds, and Freddy discovers that Skye’s family got into trouble with

some ruthless loan sharks, and she had to run away. If you want to watch the

film, it’s on my YouTube channel and is linked here.

‘And We Danced’

by Ciara Deegan

On Saturday the 16th of April I attended

Macklemore's concert in Dublin.

It was on in the 3Arena situated on the

quays of Dublin city. I love this location

and always enjoy visiting it. My friends

and I arrived at the 3Arena at

approximately 5pm and we decided that

we would begin to queue. We queued

for one hour and 15 minutes and the

temperatures were quite low. The doors

opened at half 6 and we went straight in

and to the front of the crowd. I was in

touching distance of the stage and the

wait was worth it. Before Macklemore

came on there were two supporting acts

; XP and Raury. They were both very

good and got the crowd warmed up.

I had read before I went that

Macklemore would be on the stage for

9pm. As usual this did not happen - he

was late. This is always a

disappointment; most of the crowd had

now been waiting 4 hours to see him.

He came on stage at around 9:20 and

the charged atmosphere in the arena

was phenomenal. Everyone was on

their feet and in fantastic form.

The only thing I would say is that he did

not start with a very popular strong

song; it was a bit slow. Other than that

the show went on as expected.

‘Can't hold us’, it

A Soldier’s Tale

by Grace Galvin Connolly

The man was all shot through that came today

Into the barrack square;

A soldier I - I am not proud to say

We killed him there;

They brought him from the prison hospital;

To see him in that chair

I thought his smile would far more quickly call

A man to prayer.

Maybe we cannot understand this thing

That makes these rebels die;

And yet all things love freedom - and the Spring

Clear in the sky;

I think I would not do this deed again

For all that I hold by;

Gaze down my rifle at his breast - but then

A soldier I.

They say that he was kindly - different too,

Apart from all the rest;

A lover of the poor; and all shot through,

His wounds ill drest,

He came before us, faced us like a man,

He knew a deeper pain

Than blows or bullets - ere the world began;

Died he in vain?

Ready - present; And he just smiling - God!

I felt my rifle shake

His wounds were opened out and round that chair

Was one red lake;

I swear his lips said 'Fire!' when all was still

Before my rifle spat

That cursed lead - and I was picked to kill

A man like that!

By Liam Mac Gabhann

April 2016 is Poetry

Month. So to finish the

April edition in the 1916

theme, the poem

‘Connolly’ was chosen.

James Connolly's life, and

the stark facts of his

death, are the twin

concerns of this poem. Its

speaker is a British

soldier who remembers

his role in Connolly's

execution at Kilmainham

Gaol.

You can sense the

soldier's regret and

uncertainty. His thoughts

are disjointed but he

recognises the human

need that shaped the

rebellion, the desire for

freedom and justice.

Yet though he reflects on

the morals of the rebels'

actions, he knows his own

responsibility as a soldier

too.

Connolly is set apart from

the rest of the rebels in

his commitment to

improving the lives of the

poor.
