Bias Cut (3-6-08)

Wow, its March and I’m pretty sure everyone is ready for Spring Break, especially after Monday’s teasing 60 degree weather. These winter mornings of waking up early and treading through tons of snow to class aren’t fun and thankfully, will soon be over. Hopefully for most of you, the only place you’ll be walking to from March 14th through 23rd is the bar or beach (that is after flying there). My goal this week: to help you drink and sun-bathe in style and to separate you from the pack of girls gone wild on some beach in Mexico (and the girls who went wild on College Avenue this fall).

Among the many concerned, curse-filled questions you might be asking yourself as you ponder work-life after graduation or an internship indoors, one of them is probably: “What the (heck) am I going to wear?!”.

The idea of the world after rolling out of bed in your sweatpants at 10:43 for class may not be your favorite topic as spring approaches, but we are here to learn and prepare ourselves for that world, and I am here to do my part in that preparation.

Who is a fan of global warming? I didn’t think so. As our wise elders and teachers have tried to emphasize the importance of keeping our planet clean, we often shrug and turn the mute off of Best Week Ever (while tuning them out?). But just like those two clueless girls Cher and Dee, we must listen to Miss Geist and sign up for the environmental fair. Well, maybe just buy eco-friendly clothing. I mean small steps are better than no steps at all, right?

Happy Valentine’s Day! For 24 hours, you have a free pass to wear some blatantly cheesy/borderline tacky red accessories or sweaters. You can even pull out that coffee mug with pink heart balloons on it. I will not stand in the way of the cheerful and festive as they celebrate this holiday.
But as of Friday morning, wash that thing and go back to pretending your mom accidentally packed it for you. If you even glanced over some of my thoughts around Halloween or Christmas, you will remember that even the most joyous holidays have very limited windows of time during which otherwise tacky outfits are deemed acceptable and unworthy of attack in next week’s Bias Cut article or accompanying photographs! So rock on with that pink fleece and don’t tell me I never cut you any slack!

Dear readers:
Although I might not know you, or like what you wear, I think I missed you over break. I would like to take this chance to wish you a happy new year. I also hope you received plenty of presents this holiday break and will be doing a decent job of showing me up this year … although not enough to kill my ego, please?

If you have yet to notice the packed malls and department stores, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas playing on cable, and some song about a red nosed reindeer (Urban legends say it’s because he is such a lush) who guides Santa’s slay, let me be the first to tell you, it’s Christmas! Although you might not be Catholic/Christian/whatever-I-am, being merry, giving gifts and enjoying holiday parties is meant for all — especially the amusement of inevitable holiday party mistakes, drunken confessions and hook ups. So, to help you look your classiest this holiday (if indeed you’re the hot topic of this year’s holiday party) or aid you in looking tacky in your tacky holiday outfit but still in a way classy, The Bias Cut is going to give you a few words of direction and encouragement.

This week’s hot topic: animal prints.
I was getting pretty close to my deadline this week, and not feeling very passionate about any particular topic until I saw one sad soul wearing a shirt so frightening that it sparked a whole article’s worth of concern. Hopefully the old saying “less is more” and the notion to “keep it simple, stupid” are messages that have come across clearly at this point in the semester. Well, not surprisingly, both are never more important to keep in mind than when incorporating animal prints into one’s outfit.

I know, I know. Sunglasses as The Bias Cut topic in November sounds about as seasonally inappropriate as white denim in April. Although it feels like the dead of winter, and I should probably be telling you to buy a cute pair of long johns (even though hopefully only your closest friends see them) and hats that don’t look like they were hand knit, I am going to delve into the (sometimes touchy) topic of sunglasses. After all, squinting in the sun is a year-round problem, and I’d like to stop you from making some year-round bad calls when it comes to protecting your eyes.

After a weekend (and Wednesday night) of scaring people and trying to figure out who is underneath the costume of the guy or girl you just made out with, I would like to relay to all of you a belated happy Halloween and a big welcome to November. I would also like to give kudos to all of those who wore wonderful costumes this weekend and worked very hard at putting them together. I must admit, scary and slutty hasn’t looked so good since Kady, Karen, Gretchen and Regina were in costume, making out with second cousins and trying to win over the heart of Aaron Samuels.
