...fashion show and one of Harvard’s most well-attended events of the year. Even from the bleachers, you can smell the sweat of some of Harvard’s hottest as they strut their stuff through the Bright. Adelman is in her element in the VIP section, surrounded by members of the Association of Black Harvard Women and Eleganza organizers. At 8:30 p.m., the show begins, and social butterfly Adelman must take her seat. “I heart Eleganza. I’ve been going since pre-frosh year,” she recalls. Mere...
...glitter and gold on Friday in the Bright Hockey Center for the annual Eleganza fashion show. In front of a crowd estimated at nearly 2,000, with a sold-out VIP section, 49 students paraded down the runway modeling a colorful array of getups. The theme of this year’s show, hosted by BlackCAST (Community and Student Theater), was “Elements of Desire,” with four acts centered on Earth, Fire, Water, and Air motifs. Each scene displayed a different color scheme: Earth models wore brown-tones, Fire models wore red-tones, Water models...
...twenty minutes, at least a dozen important-looking men in tuxedos rocked back and forth trying to control their bladders, while an agent from the secret service barricaded the bathroom door. Even CNN's Wolf Blitzer was turned away. After a time, the door blockade was lifted, but no VIP emerged from the urinals.

Garish billboards urging Berliners to SAVE TEMPELHOF! have sprouted alongside beds of daffodils and magnolia trees across the German capital. Posters that call for shuttering the "VIP airport" show children frolicking on the vacated fields. "Hands off Tempelhof!" croons gravel-voiced country singer Gunter Gabriel in a music video featuring air stewardesses in 1960s-vintage miniskirts. "Berlin is an anarchic city and everybody wants to join in the debate," says Wolfgang Kaschuba, a professor of urban studies...
...handbags, some of which had been worn by Taylor, Monroe and Mary Pickford. He was flanked by movie stars Tony Leung (In The Mood For Love) and Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Memoirs of a Geisha), whose presence drew hordes of passersby to gawk from just outside the VIP enclosure, holding phones aloft in an attempt to capture a grainy souvenir. Ferruccio talked about how Shanghai was chosen for the exhibition's premiere partly because the city represented 'the future.' Let's hope they do something about the eye-watering, throat-searing pollution before the future actually arrives...
