...with a disturbingly Shuttlegirl-esque mascot. The shop resides in the space our beloved Video Pro once occupied, leaving students to trudge to Porter Square if they want to catch a rental flick. At least Harvard students, unable to continue their tradition of dateless evenings with the wholesome Forrest Gump and Casablanca, will be able to buy as many tight skirts and cleavage-baring tops as they desire in a store right above Ben & Jerry’s.
