...warn you,” Morton cautions with a grin. “It’s a conceptual outfit.” An hour later, Morton is at the cash register with her finds—a fur coat, a gray vest, and a pair of black leather ankle boots (for herself). After a minor blip involving receipts, she’s on her way back to Harvard for a film screening. “I’ll probably start working at ten or eleven,” she says. “It shouldn?...
...loud glorification of government-backed violence and a raucous endorsement of a “do whatever it takes” mentality. In the film’s world, cops are still called pigs, cocaine rules the street, Blondie still plays at clubs, and mobsters with ponytails wear tight leather jackets.

...fashioned floral-printed radzimir, the heavy silk once used for mourning garments, with a laser and then bonded it with the flexible, breathable high-tech fabric commonly found in extreme-sports apparel.

"We will be violent out there," he yells to the crowd. "If a quarterback slides, God bless him, because we're going to hit him anyway. That's Hitmen football...
...props on stage at times seemingly move on their own; folding chairs and a hand-held fan are transformed into a moving car; a transvestite lounge seamlessly becomes an opera house. As Reyes, Daniel Torres can be child-like, cunning, loving and manipulative. Donning a baseball cap and leather jacket, he also appear maniacal. The songs can be catchy and kitschy - "San Diego" and "Miami" both sung in three-part harmony by The Daddyos stood out in that way. Adding color to the dark storyline, Tony-Award winner Ken Page plays the flamboyant drag queen (and Greek chorus) Miss Stormy...
