Deadline Assignment

This week's assignment was to go out and take a picture of something feature or news worthy within the class period. I walked around campus and found members of Western's Sexual Awareness Center dancing around red square to promote the upcoming Condom Fashion Show.

 Taneum Bambrick (right), 20, dances atop the fountain in red square, draped in a condom and fabric dress, in order garner support and awareness of the WWU Sexual Awareness Center’s Third Annual Condom Fashion Show.

            “Everybody come out and support the awesome show,” Bambrick shouts in a loud and enthusiastic manner.

            Sexual Awareness Center assistant coordinator Danny Canham (left), 20, said the event, which takes place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 24 in the Viking Union MPR, is an event used to educate the community of the proper use of contraception and promote the practice of safe sex. 

            All the outfits are made with condoms and are all made by Western students, Canham said. The event is to feature various types of fashion, models and demonstrations, Canham said.

            “What I’m looking forward to most is the performance called, “Dams and Damsels,” Canham said. “It will be an instructional demonstration of how to properly use dams."
