Green is the New Black

Will Mantell

I was late to climb aboard the Muppet train. If you’d asked me to name them when I was five, I’d have known Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and maybe Gonzo. But I didn’t discover the other treasures that Jim Henson and Friends had put on screen ...

Hot or Not?

Emily Levy

It’s time for a game of “Hot or Not.” Rompers: Hot or Not? Two-finger rings: Hot or Not? Denim button-down shirts: Hot or Not? Boyfriend jeans: Hot or Not?

God's Gift to Us All

Stephanie Velazquez

Ryan Gosling is the greatest thing that ever happened to this world.

The Elephant of the Amazon

Stephanie Velazquez

Now that fall has arrived, FOX news is wetting itself over the official kick-off of the 2012 campaign season and the sudden flood of the media with Republican debates. While there are many outstanding candidates, and while each has something wonderful and innovative to bring to the White House, one ...

Mormon Madness

Eliot Linton, Evaline Tsai

Book of Mormon—the Broadway musical from the creators of South Park—opened to incredible reviews, won nine Tonys, and is so popular these days that its website suggests you should start looking for tickets for February 2012. Scalped tickets for shows this week are going for around five hundred ...

What Would Vince Do

Emily Levy

Saying goodbye to the dirtiest of my dirty pleasures hasn’t been easy. Especially since I am a relatively clean (and some would say highly self-disciplined) person. And so my recent farewell to Entourage, HBO’s eight-season series on the glories of Hollywood life, has consequently become a reflective experience ...

Suckapella

John Tamplin

A cappella groups must have come into existence when God banished Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. In a perfect world, a cappella groups would not exist.

Racists in the Library

Stephanie Velazquez

If you were to do a Google search for “Asians Sleeping in the Library,” you would come across a blog that features, well, pictures of Asian students across the globe asleep in libraries, meant to pay homage to their hard work and diligence. If you were, however, to accidentally leave ...

Spring Broken

Sarah Xiyi Chen

Attention, all you who decry the decline of American culture—where did the concept of MTV Spring Break come from? What seedy gyri or sulci of our brains make us think that a full week of developing skin cancer, developing liver failure, egging girls on to remove their already minimal ...

Georgia Explorer

Evan Larson

We woke up at 6 AM, painfully early for the start of Spring Break, and filed down to the well-loved minivan that would carry us on our fourteen hour journey to Georgia.

Marowak Unmasked

Michael Newman

When I was ten years old, I thought I knew everything about Pokémon. I could rattle off all 251 of their names, quote Pokédex entries by rote, and even tell you where to find a Lapras in Silver Version (at the far end of the underground lake beneath Union Cave, but only on Fridays). I even knew the rules of the arcane trading card game that everyone collected cards for but no one actually played.

Wolf Gang Swag

John Tamplin

Last week at Santo’s Party House, a tiny club in Chinatown, Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All played their second New York show yet, itself the second show on Odd Future’s first ever “tour,” comprised of three East Coast shows and one in San Francisco. Odd Future is a rap ensemble from Los Angeles. All eleven of their members are under twenty years old.

Gawker, Redesigned

Andy Martens

Our tale this week starts in times long past. Well before Facebook, well before Twitter. Even before the war in Iraq. 2002 was a strange time, but in Web 2.0’s rocky infancy British journalist Nick Denton found opportunity. Thus began Gawker Media, a collection of blogs covering everything from New York gossip to video games.

The Yoga Elite

Evan Larson

Yoga Above feels like a perfect reflection of Princeton’s unique character: the blending of college town taste with the style and exclusivity of affluence. The result is a donation yoga studio with deluxe décor and an amazing location that serves a clientele that is stunningly homogeneous.

Hide Yo Bigots

Greer Hanshaw

During the BET awards last month, an enthusiastic Antoine Dodson briefly assumed control of the stage and gave a rousing rendition of his famous single, “The Bed Intruder Song.” Dodson’s glee was apparent from his vivacious grin, and his energy incited cheers and applause from the crowd. Dodson bore ...
