...Across the street from the Ritz Carlton and nestled between the posh shoulders of the Armani boutique and Alan Bilizeran, the 25 Newbury Street Banana Republic seems to want to play in the big leagues. They use their location as much for brand name advertisement as for selling clothes. And it seems to be working; across Boston people are buying and vying to dress like a banana...
...KMart)? May we forgive Agins her generalizations, as we forgive ourselves our errant tastes. And remind her that if she considers fashion to be art, she must allow it to transform. It seems that because the couture pieces don't sell so much anymore (imagine something with big slits and peacock feathers) they are no longer art. All that has happened is that the runway has transformed from an auction block to a museum exhibition.

...idiotic and profoundly uninteresting; however, Liebert makes the mistake of conflating Top 40 with rock music in general.

This illustrates the dilemma women face, as we are expected to be the mortar which holds society and family together, but also encouraged to move forward, though unable to see past the aesthetic images which also colonize our minds...
...Wellesley incident, along with residential reports of public urination and throwing trash onto parked cars from the roof of the fraternity house, led the licensing board to call SAE members to appear at a hearing. Daniel F. Polaski, chair of the Boston City Licensing Board, is a self-described "big fan of fraternity houses in the city of Boston." One might have thought that SAE had a pretty solid chance of escaping with a slap on the wrist. While the other complaints against SAE remain relatively disregarded, however, SAE's main offense in the eyes of the board has become...
