With the temperature set at 15 degrees and a dress code of all black (but not "goth black," and that was understood), this presentation was a little like watching a hip-hop version of the exploitation classic The Beatniks set in a Compton barbershop. Try watching The Chappelle Show re-runs in a French pub. It's interesting. |
Klaiborne-Karan tracks the career of a single Abercrombie
and Fitch t-shirt design from its inception as a cheap way for
the wealthy to slum to a slumland icon as a way of demonstrating
that the castoffs of the rich keep the masses in check: always
place the price tantalizingly just at the edge of affordability.
Rich people's discards and poor people's dreams collide and
collude to keep folks of color always on the run. |
It's not what you think—really. The spreadsheets Greens-Pann
provided were of the literal variety and matched the recent
market bubble to the spread of online erotica perfectly. But

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and hegemony. |
The charge by the Right that the Left is evil, and the charge by the Left that the Right is the same may just mask a satanic middle, contends LeRoche. Where better to hide than under the cover of a bland reasonableness and willingness to compromise? Perhaps. Still, the overlay of a pentagram on the map of health care industry lobbyists' K Street offices may prove too convenient for mere coincidence. |
Presaging Wikileaks' uncovering of massive problems in America's campaign in Afghanistan, Ratheon shows how reading between the lines of presidential press-secretary statements makes even the most stoolish sing like the proverbial pigeon. And she did it all while shattering wine glasses with her massive (and sweet-breathed) vocal range. |
British digestive biscuits aside, The Today Show's episode of "Deep Inside Katie Couric's Bowels" was visceral enough to earn it a bona fide public service sobriquet. However, we'd do well to mind Keebler-Fields' warning: if they insist on making sex vids, the least Paris Hilton et al. can do is show us how to be safe about it. |
