Aliza Shvarts: The Halloween How-To For Harvard Students
Aliza Shvarts '08 is more than just an alleged abortion-inducer; according to our commenters, she is also a style icon of sorts. In fact, we predict that come Halloween, students all over Cambridge and other rival Ivies will be dressing up as the suddenly-notorious art student from that other East Coast institution of higher learning. In order to help them along, we decided to create a handy guide to recreating Aliza's look... Black leggings? Check! Fringe boots? Check! Leopard-print shorts? Of course. Everything they need to create a Shvarts costume (except for the discarded uterine lining), after the jump. More »

The Best Email I Have Ever Received
There are no facts, only interpretations, and if you comprehend an interpretation to its very depths you're likely to change your mind about it, as I have on occasion on this blog when challenged on one of the metaphors, metonyms and anthroporphisms marching around in the mobile mind army of thoughts and variables I falsely perceive to make up some sort of truth, which you may perceive to be a long-winded preamble to telling you I received an email Wednesday evening from a certain individual I'd described upon very little scrutiny as "amusingly pretentious," in a post of earlier this week. Was it unfair? Why not leave judgment to the herd?

Harvard Virgin Leo Keliher Not As Horny As The Times Made It Sound
Remember Leo Keliher? He's that virgin I made fun of last week after the New York Times Magazine published his musings on why he felt it important to deny his ever-present lust. It was a really cheap shot, not that it isn't always a cheap shot with me, but it was a cheap shot because some of the things he said made me think about actually thinking about the whole thing — lust, desire, need, self-sacrifice, blah blah — for a few minutes before I took the whole "God grant me the wisdom/empathy/attention span to resist the overpowering urge to turn this whole story into an explicit doggy style church pew fantasy, but not just yet" route. Leo, the son of a child molester whose mom's second husband had left her for a woman 20 years younger, who had seen a lot of shit for someone barely born in the Reagan administration, seemed like an extraordinarily thoughtful person. I emailed to tell him that, and he emailed me back and I thought I'd share. More »

Dear Ivy League Virgins: Did You Ever Think Maybe Fucking Once In Awhile Would Make You More Fun?
What if I had stayed a virgin? I entertain this thought sometimes, like when reading the New York Times Magazine story on Ivy League virgins. The difference between Ivy League virgins and regular virgins is that while regular virgins are scared of kids and Eternal Damnation, Ivy League virgins are scared of oxytocin. And to that end, they're not completely retarded. Oxytocin is the neurotransmitter released in the state commonly known as "infatuation", and it's probably the reason I personally sort of avoid sex these days, because of the chance said sex will lead to infatuation, which can be really fucking distracting. But I'm glad I wasn't always this way, because of girls like Janie Fredell. Janie, pictured, is a virgin. She is very very serious about limiting her oxytocin. She is so serious that she doesn't realize that her best friend Leo, an aspiring monk and her male partner in Harvard's "True Love Revolution" abstinence club, jerks off every morning to a fantasy about fucking her doggy style in a confessional. No seriously! I mean, the story doesn't specify the doggy style, but check out this passage. More »

What, You Assumed The Blind Guy Would Be A Faithful Husband? Did None Of You See Ray?
Oh, what? You thought blindness would be an effective antidote to the old "wandering eye" problem? Wrong! Being blind just means crap taste in hotels. But here's the part we don't get: why, after you've been illicitly screwing some broad at the 94th street Days Inn do you take your wife back there? And what's more highbrow, Days Inn for a blind man in New York, or T.G.I. Friday's for a closeted gay and his orgy club in New Jersey? Is any of this as highbrow as getting called "guido" by the Jersey shore posse of Ashley Alexandra Dupre? Glamocracy's Megan Carpentier and I discuss all this, Obama's mystery brother in RED CHINA, and how the unprecedented JP Morgan-Bear Stearns-Fed bailout came together because the JP Morgan investment banking chief and the new Bear Stearns CEO were frat brothers at Duke. Oh yeah, and Obama is about to address the subject of his insane pastor who thinks white people control everything. That's happening now! Liveblog it, folks! More »

New DKNY Designer Rachel Bilson Can Neither Sketch Nor Sew
- DKNY Jeans has announced a "partnership" with Rachel Bilson, who will be doing her own denim line for the brand. "Fans of 'The O.C.' really like DKNY Jeans, and I know they make great stuff, so I thought it could be good... I can't draw at all, so I won't be doing any sketches, but I am learning to sew," she says. [WWD, sub req'd]
- Good for designer Bradley Bayou for organizing a forum on the fashion industry and eating disorders. Bayou said fashion editors and the CFDA are at great fault for the growing number of young women developing eating disorders: "We have girls getting very sick because they can't beat the system and look like what's on the cover of the magazine...There are two ways to become a size zero: Starve yourself or take drugs. Or both. And yes, [models] all do it." [WWD, sub req'd]
- "She is a very modest woman." That's Fashion Fringe co-founder Colin McDowell on Donatella Versace. Um, sure. [Fashion Week Daily]
Newsweek ponders why Ivy League students aren't getting laid, despite the fact that they're publishing erotic magazines by the boatload. Here's one reason: deconstructing sex is the least sexy thing in the world. Ivy leaguers are sitting around discussing Foucault on fucking, instead of you know, actually fucking. Here's a second reason: Ivy League students are almost exclusively nerds. Despite some jocks and hipsters who are the exception to the rule, the majority of most Ivy Leagues consists of a seedy nerd underbelly that rarely emerges from the science library. This is why, according to Newsweek, "In 2006, nearly half of Harvard undergrads who responded to a survey reported they had never had intercourse." [Newsweek]

Female Bosses Have To Choose Between Being Loved & Being Feared
Different standards for men and women in the workplace? You don't say! A new study shows that a female boss is judged differently than a male boss. According to Live Science, Kristin Byron of Syracuse University tested managers, asking them to rate the emotional state depicted on a series of photos showing facial expressions and audio clips with different tones of voice. Then Byron surveyed the managers' staff, asking them how their bosses rated when they considered statements like "My manager shows concern for me as a person," "My manager can inspire enthusiasm for a project" and "I am satisfied with the degree of respect/fair treatment I get from my boss." Female managers who were bad at reading unspoken emotions we seen as uncaring, and got lower ratings from their staff. But male bosses who were crappy at figuring out emotions didn't get the same negative marks. Bottom line? People expect female bosses to be "understanding, kind, supportive and sensitive," Byron says. In other words, more like your mother. More »
