...Best female friend and/or developing love interest: “Blahnik by Boman: Shoes, Photographs, Conversation” by Eric Boman. 224 pages of Manolo Blahnik shoe pornography will drive your favorite girl wild. The photography is also phenomenally creative—Boman nestles a pale green mule among ferns as homage to Blahnik’s recurring botanical themes. If you really love her or really want action, pair the artful book with “Sex and the City-The Complete Series” DVD set, in which the sublime stilettos play an important supporting role...

...Yalies’ prank attempt at The Game was but a pale, failed echo of last year’s epoch in prank history. After a wholesome afternoon visiting tailgates, Barrett B. Jackson ’06 and her gaggle of friends received two suspicious text messages from an unidentified number. “Remember: SCHOOL ON MONDAY!!! -John Harvard” read the first message, and “Hi [personalized names]! At the THIRD QUARTER KICKOFF, chant “We Suck” to prove to Yale (forever a safety school) that we don?...
