...price: $39.99), produced by the Hollywood special-effects studio Digital Domain (Interview with the Vampire, Apollo 13). The product lets users create as many as 15,000 different outfits that Barbie models in a 3-D walk down a runway. The patterns are printed out on special computer-compatible fabric and then assembled without sewing for Barbie to wear. At a showing for investors, "30-year-old women were having a great time making doll clothes," says an amused analyst who was there. Also part of the rollout are a moviemaking kit called Barbie Storymaker ($29.99) and Barbie Print...
...grads, who work on a project basis. One is Bill Gayten, a cutter for Galliano. While novice tailors listen, he talks about the designer's famous bias-cut dresses, many of which he has worked on. Galliano demands toiles (patterns) not of traditional muslin but of the same fine fabric the gown will be made of, and will not look at a garment in progress unless it is on a live model. It's a long, painstaking, expensive process...

Therefore, I write to do more than simply criticize Christopher McFadden '97 ("Quilts and the Moral Fabric," Oct. 17, opinion piece) for objecting to its practice, but more significantly to point out his irresponsible discussion of AIDS.

...reference to Christopher McFadden's opinion piece, "Quilts and the Moral Fabric," Oct. 17: Let's get to the point. AIDS-related sicknesses have taken the lives of more than 25 million people worldwide since its appearance in the early 1980s. Approximately 50 people--straight, gay, lesbian, transgender/sexual, poor, rich, white latina/o, black, Asian, Native American U.S. and foreign-born--will be injected or diagnosed with HIV today. AIDS is not to be belittled or mocked. It is a disease which touches many if not all of our lives; it takes many of our lives...
...like to respond to the October 17th opinion piece, "Quilts and the Moral Fabric," by Christopher McFadden. This piece represents a throwback to the initial homophobic response to the AIDS epidemic by resorting to moral pedagogy about the homosexual "lifestyle." Not only is McFadden creating statistical generalizations ("AIDS funding levels suffered no real decrease...in the past two years," "the handful of cases...from using infected needles or blood transfusions," "the 99.9 percent of Americans [who die from other reasons than AIDS]," etc.), but he manages to confuse again and again the two issues of homosexuality and the AIDS epidemic...
