...They look a little awkward, they pace around for a while, and it's pretty obvious that this isn't really their thing. We cheer some more - since that's our only voice and we figure it might earn us an autograph or an interview. MTV offers a duel between a person on the street and a caller for tickets to the night's show. Apparently, a bunch of girls in the studio know the caller from school. "That's Matt, oh my gosh, that's Matt!" they shriek. Matt must be hot. One of the girls is hysterical. Kelly...
That day Marino and Drew Bledsoe stood toe-to-toe in a classic quarterback duel, combining for over 900 yards passing and lighting up the scoreboard for 74 points...
Terminally self-absorbed, Evgeny Onegin (Ralph Fiennes) rejects Tatyana (Liv Tyler), the pretty, thoughtful, romantic girl from the neighboring estate. After marrying into the St. Petersburg aristocracy, she in turn rejects his belatedly awakened passion.

Touched with the horrifics of a child's dream, the monster nonetheless conserved an impeccable stylishness that quite outshone the pantalooned prince in their operatic duel. (The Jabberwocky's vest came from Waddell's own closet.) The Dunster House production of The Magic Flute is promising as an outlet for Waddell's fantastic inclinations--she will be creating all of the costumes for the show from scratch and views it as her first real opportunity to showcase...
