Kylie’s getting old. Not just regular old: Madonna old. In her prime, Kylie Minogue brought composition and color to her music videos at a time when most middle-of-the-road pop artists thought sex appeal just meant humping the camera. However, for the first single off her tenth studio album, “X,” Kylie seems to be merely going through the motions, and barely even that.

But forget the shirt’s hue (color-gender association is so over).

I know that change is not necessarily in the best interests of the inherently protective U.S. green-ink industry, but we all face sacrifices these days, especially when it comes to green issues. So, as you can imagine, a spring came into my step on this autumnal day when I read the news that your $5 bill will...
