Voulez-vous couchez avec moi, ce soir? Me vuelves loco. Ti desidero. Ez csodalatos volt.
What happens in college often tends to stay in college.
As if trying to make it at 20-something isn't challenging already, our economy is in a dangerous position and the majority of economists predict it will not improve anytime soon.
Danger is sexy when you're in college. It's a short time in your life when you can get away with making bad decisions. And nothing's more of a turn-on than knowing something can go wrong at any minute.
For most, the start of the new year signaled a fresh beginning, but for Polaroid film it marked the end of an era. Last year Polaroid announced that it would stop making instant film, and it should be phased out of stores by 2009. To many people in this digital age, Polaroids are no more than ancient relics, but to those in fashion, art and photography industries they are very much alive.
Behind every great production is a great costume designer. After all, what would Sex and the City have been without Patricia Field's stylistic talents?
Lil Wayne is the voice of our generation.
Sex is a never-ending complex. It shouldn't be that complicated, but it is.

Grab your tie-dye, your peace signs and your anti-war slogans - it's time to let your hair down and let the sun shine.
A flurry of colors and designs ranging from cartoon floral prints to men on fishing boats adorn the kimonos now on display at the Harn Museum. One "little boy kimono" is embellished with images of battle ships and airplanes flying over water, which signifies the mark of World War II. Many of the women's kimonos display vibrant colors and geometric shapes. These were to mimic the idea of "art deco," influenced from Western culture. Fashioning Kimono, the exhibit flaunting numerous types of kimonos, dates from the late 19th century to early 20th century.
I must confess, I have never read "Watchmen." So I can't speak of the movie's faithfulness to "the most celebrated graphic novel of all time." But I can tell you that one of the most anticipated movies of this year delivered on its big blockbuster promise.
And ignorance claims another victim - Matthew Meltzer.
When you throw a festival of some sort, typically it is supposed to be in a location that has something to do with what the festival is about.
Oh, glorious day. Spring break is finally here.
Noisy, surging guitars; octopus-arm polyrhythms; Bono hollering on like a hopped-up Pentecostal preacher; spectacularly transparent declarations of purpose whooped in flailing whoa-oh frenzy. These are the first sounds of "No Line On the Horizon," U2's new album, and they combine to say what, with this band, goes without saying: This is a statement.
What do you get when you mix Fugazi with The Beach Boys?
