...Newbury St., not one of those trendy spots where the staff are convinced that they are works of art, but a small place with gaudy decor and hits of the early eighties playing on the radio. Tony Whitcomb (Thomas Ouellette), the playful and campy owner, has a green apron--to match the wallpaper--and pink shoe-laces on his white hightops--to match his tight white jeans and pink polo. He also flirts like a horny teen, minces and flaps his limp wrist: Whitcomb exploits all the routine mannerisms used to indicate that someone is gay. His assistant Barbara DeMarco...
Jones is still very much tied to the apron trings of Alma Mater. Involved with many projects and goings-on at the university, he was invested time and energy into The Harvard Film Archive (HFA) and, if his "volatile schedule" allows, he will be a participant in Arts First, an annual celebration of the arts at Harvard-Radcliffe.

...only way to stop the hostilities is to bulldoze the battlefield -- that is, the skirt. The dominant silhouette at the Paris fall collections was a big top with tights or leggings, often accompanied by boots that climbed well above the knee. In between there was often a sort of apron that resembled a vestigial skirt or, more fancifully, a superwide belt. Only a few classic houses featured any skirts in the usual sense of the word, and only Yves Saint Laurent covered the knee in a few outfits...
