With Smithsonian's American History Museum closed for renovation, we're now free to explore the darker side of American history with these lesser-known treasures. Best of all, these peculiar pieces of history sit practically in our own backyard, away from the touristy hustle of the Mall.
With the recent debut of many fall 2007 ready-to-wear collections, the Scene is abuzz with talk of fashion trends. However, while the runway influences and reflects what people wear on the street, these two fashion spheres can seem worlds apart. In that light, the Scene presents you with its tips for stylish street fashion, inspired by the runways of the world and our campus.
It only makes sense that a play about familial bonds should be staged in a space as intimate as the Folger Theatre. In this new production of Shakespeare's "King Lear," the audience is placed in the midst of the action while the story of the mad king and his three daughters unfolds.
Now that the icy throes of winter have finally descended upon the District, the spring-like escapades of this December are a thing of the past. Weather-appropriate activities are crucial to the enjoyment of these chilly times. With that in mind, the Scene presents the following options for seasonal adventures.
The new documentary "American Hardcore," which chronicles the creation of hardcore punk music in the United States, concludes with the sentiment that hardcore is dead. However, over 25 years after the first hardcore bands appeared on the scene, countless newer bands tour and perform incessantly. They carry the torch of their hardcore forefathers.
One can only romanticize collegiate poverty for so long. Sure, a stockpile of Ramen noodles seems quaint in August, but once cold temperatures set in, it's time for comfort food, and that may mean shelling out some comfort dollars, too. Luckily, several D.C. stores provide delicious and fresh options for luxurious snacks and meals that only taste expensive.
The season finale of "Project Runway 3," Bravo's hit fashion design documentary-meets-reality show hosted and produced by Heidi Klum, is fast approaching, and we at The Eagle don't know what to do with ourselves. This is a show so addictive that Bravo-less students all across the AU campus are contemplating spending their hard-earned work-study money on episodes available on iTunes for $1.99 a pop. The casual watcher simply cannot understand.
As the world's top designers displayed their spring collections for the past few weeks in Paris, Milan, London and New York, lesser-known names had their own moments in the spotlight during D.C. Fashion Week. The fifth installment of this biannual event culminated in the International Collections Haute Couture Show at the Embassy of France last Sunday evening.
As freshmen make the transition to dorm life and upperclassmen make the transition to suite life, some stylish students realize that a small space can provide ample opportunities for big design. Whether in doubles, triples or suites, these students demonstrate their decorative and organizational prowess. The Eagle's MIA STEINLE investigates.
Ted Leo & the Pharmacists will perform in The Tavern today, Sept. 7, at 4 p.m. Student organizations WVAU and the Student Union Board (SUB) collaborated to plan and sponsor this event.
For a city known for politics and power, Washington, D.C. contains numerous centers dedicated to great beauty. From the spacious Smithsonian museums to tiny independent galleries, D.C.'s art museums house diverse and worthwhile collections of art from every period, geographical location and style.
If classrooms full of business suit-clad students are any indicator, AU is not a roll-out-of-bed-and-go-to-class type of institution. In fact, the quad and surrounding buildings are a veritable hotbed of fashion-conscious individuals, showing off everything from classic cardigans to spinning belt buckles. These standout dressers get their duds and their influences from some of the most obvious and some of the most unlikely sources. Regardless, these folks will not get lost in the crowd.
Valentine's Day came and went, and nearly everyone found themselves complaining about either having someone boring or having no one at all. With 11 months to prepare for the next Hallmark-sponsored day of self-depreciation, make some time to go out with someone fresh to do something new. Now that spring has arrived in the District like a pretentious intern from Nebraska, take advantage of the pretty weather and the "Hey! Look at me! I'm changing things!" modus operandi and go on the following dates:
The strangest part of discovering Ted Leo is realizing that he never cried out to be found. Nothing about his music or work ethic has really ever suggested anything overly self-promotional. He just puts his nose to the grindstone and doesn't worry about image. So it's usually up to his followers to pick up the slack, throwing his name into the same hat with Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and Thin Lizzy.
"I'm possibly going to New York, but I'm not sure yet. It's not for business or work, just fun." -Makda Ammanuel, freshman in the Kogod School of Business
The spectacle of Trojan athletes fighting for glory, aging rock stars fighting for paychecks and overpriced commercials fighting for airtime is an event that many share amongst friends. As the Super Bowl turns 40 this Sunday, these epic battles will play out against the backdrops of student-run parties.
As Father Winter extends his icy fingers toward Washington, D.C., for at least another few months, layering becomes a top priority for the student body - after keg stands and classes. Fortunately, university students now have a beacon of clothing hope in downtown D.C.
There are many things that make Christmas in America special. From the 24-hour TV marathon of "A Christmas Story" to claymation portrayals of favorite wintry characters, the American media knows how to usher in the holiday spirit. Perhaps an even more treasured memory than an awkwardly animated Rudolph leading Santa's sleigh one foggy Christmas Eve is watching ballet dancers move gracefully to Tchaikovsky's magical score.
