Colors of the season

Julia Harvey

Tradition in apparel has become consistent in the world over the past centuries. It is very apparent as we come off of our holiday season every year, that we enjoy the warm colors of winter and darker tones in order to stay warm and deflect the cold weather.

Vibrant reds, purples, and darker tones are popular to represent the celebration of holidays and the New Year. However, I feel that these warm colors also represent warm feelings towards others. After all, the holidays are about being with family and friends. What’s better to represent that than with a cozy red sweater or a soft blue scarf. The colors seem to melt the ice and snow outside to create a more friendly environment with the people you are with.

Tik Tok – Ke$ha

Whitney Gulden

Unless you’ve been living in a hole for the past month you’ve heard the infectious bad girl anthem “Tik Tok” by Ke$ha on every radio station. With a sweet live performance on Ellen yesterday, Kesha proved that she isn’t all-electronic edits and has a voice of her own.
At the skilled hands of Dr. Luke, her executive producer under RCA Records, Ke$ha has risen to fame only to be perpetuated by the release of her highly anticipated debut album “Animal”. To listen in click here: http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/#/1 for a free listen on AOL Music.

Looking at the song list pre-order on iTunes right before Tik Tok hit the top tens with titles such as “Your Love is my Drug”, “Party at a Rich Dudes House”, and “Dinosaur”, it looked like a one hit wonder was about to happen. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Its been about 24 hours since the release and already claimed iTunes top album overtaking Lady Gaga…

What’s Poppin’ December

In writing this I attempted to keep track of all the new mistresses that Tiger Woods had been with, as new ones appeared every day. I lost count after five. This man, or should I say international icon, was literally on top of the world. A smoking hot wife in former Swedish model Elin Nordegren, more money then any one man needs, worth nearly $900 million, two beautiful children and endorsement deals from several top companies including Nike and Gatorade, he had everything. Or so we thought. A simple case of reckless driving combined with a report from the National Inquirer has sent Tiger’s life into a tailspin, destroying his marriage in the process.
