...featured the direction of Pamela M. Santoyo ’08, Elisabeth Michaud ’09, Meron K. Haileselassie ’10 and Layla Amjadi ’10. Dancers from CityStep and Harvard Bhangra also performed in the show.The opening medley lacked the oomph that Expressions is known for, but the engine finally kicked into gear with “Fierce,” a muscular number choreographed by Michaud. Wearing top hats, eye makeup, ripped shirts, and dance pants, the female performers were an uncommon sight but undoubtedly left the impression of being...
...reversed - liberals sling chapter and verse, while conservatives argue that the true "sense" of scripture contradicts them. When Sanctuary proponents cite the verses below, they go to pains to contextualize them, both Biblically and in terms of secular morality.

There are three players per side, though variations exist. But the game's telegenic oomph (and there's plenty) comes from sustained volleys, deadly serves-the hard plastic ball reaches speeds up to 100 km/h-and the cartwheel spike, a power move of agility and aggression where a player backflips into the air to strike the ball with his foot (the court is only covered with...
...disgusts me. I’m sorry, but I can’t really talk about it.There are many more dresses which I could have highlighted, but I just can’t really deal with them right now. Suffice it to say, those rejects needed a little more oomph or visual interest. The Oscars is one of the few occasions where it is appropriate to wear couture, and starlets should take advantage of it.
