Seldom does the Devil do interviews. When she does, you better bet that she’s got a damned good reason — and that she’ll be dripping in designer. Earlier this month, Vogue magazine’s editor Anna Wintour was seen in a rare interview on NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” For September is when she thrives.

Yet Wintour was seated on Fallon’s scarlet couch cushions to, instead, promote the largest fashion party in history — and everyone is invited.
My roommate’s girlfriend is really hot. Like really hot. Lately, she’s been kind of throwing me some hints that she thinks I’m kind of hot too (we’re talking eye contact, intense flirting, striking up random convos on Facebook chat).

I participated in the Interfraternity Council’s fall 2010 recruitment this past week. Now, as much as I’d love to say I entered into the process like Hunter S. Thompson did in “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72,” — a journalist looking for the scoop on a mystical and oft-misinterpreted process — that wasn’t the case. I was genuinely interested in finding a fraternity that would suit my needs.
