...while they’re hot. T-shirts, that is. Not cupcakes. Welcome to Newbury Street’s newest apparel store, Johnny Cupcakes, specializing in one-of-a-kind silk-screened t-shirts that are anything but stale. A mix of pop culture iconography and punk rock attitude, Johnny Cupcakes supplies the kind of edgy, unique t-shirts Urban Outfitters wishes it still sold. David W.

Go to the Lamont Library Café and eat some stale confections. Even have a quickie in the Microfiche wing. But for your own sake, leave the place sometime. Lucy M. Caldwell ’09, a Crimson editorial editor, is a history and science concentrator in Adams House...
