...Chimaera, the she-monster of Greek mythology portrayed with a lion's head, goat's body and serpent's tail, has come to represent an unattainable or foolish fancy. It's no wonder that designer/silversmith Robin Morris's boutique/workshop is so named, as she fuses sterling silver into intricate, elegant and seemingly impossible designs.

Fiscal demands have forced the Red Sox to install giant Coke bottles on the light towers above the Green Monster. And just this past September, the once-hallowed right field faade, which displays the team's five retired numbers, was forced to make way for a gigantically hideous Hood milk bottle...
