...like? After "The Unbearable Whiteness of Barbie" (the name of an actual Occidental College course), was there not a need for a doll that "looks like America"? Absolutely, but diverse is one thing, dissolute another. Most critics focus on the clothes, which lean past trendy to trashy: torn jeans, bare navels, platform shoes, microskirts with chains. It's easy to imagine that behind those pouting lips lies a pierced tongue. But that's not really the issue. You could strip them naked, re-outfit them from Cinderella Barbie's closet and still have a problem...
...that girl over there—the one hypnotically twirling glowsticks as tassels stream from the pockets on her cargo pants? She doesn’t want to dance with you. Neither does the one writhing in corset and leather pants. But whatever your gender, there are plenty of bare-chested guys who do. Also, if you’re not naturally high on life, make sure to consume the proper libations before heading to RISE. Of course, the friendly bartenders will be happy to fulfill your every request—as long as you’re requesting water...

In the video, the often bare-chested and gyrating Shields performs for adoring crowds and serves as a human stripper pole for a horny handful of tank-topped girls. The steamy video received as many as 1,500 hits a day when it was “released” over the internet last spring, according to Shields. Not bad for an kid from Belmont...
These paintings were extraordinary for several reasons. They reduced Stella’s role as a painter to the absolute minimum of applying black paint to an empty canvas—the white “lines” were actually thin strips of bare canvas showing through the gaps between stripes of black paint. Furthermore, the geometric pattern of lines—dubbed “deductive structure” by critics—was derived from the rectangle of the canvas, a frank acknowledgement of materiality directly opposed to traditional painting...
...gets the sense that this experimentation is both very disciplined and very thorough, and it was no doubt thanks to this extended research that Stella was able to arrive at the elegant simplicity of the black paintings. They represent the same combination of stripes and rectangles reduced to a bare minimum; the stripes and the background are created simultaneously through the application of only one color, and the rectangular element becomes the canvas itself and so does not need to be painted...
