A man was in critical condition after a shooting Saturday on the Venice boardwalk that sent hordes of onlookers running pell-mell into the streets, police said Sunday.
"It looked like a human tidal wave," said Spencer L. Sirlin, 27, a Hollywood booking agent who witnessed the attack.
Because it's likely your fashion decisions have, at least once, been dictated by the opportunity of having sex. But Tom Ford sees double entendres where there is hardly an entendre
Why is so much fashion advertising so pornographic? I thought they were supposed to be selling clothes, not sex.
People who love fashion see it as a means to express themselves, to indicate their demographic via a designer (eg Roberto Cavalli = Eurotrash; Yohji Yamamoto = self-consciously cerebral gallery owner), and to show their individuality. And often all three – despite the contradiction in believing one is being an individual by emphasising the demographic one belongs to.
Now, without wishing to defend the anorexic aesthetic too many editors and designers still favour among their teenage employees, fashion is not actually about sex appeal, as anyone who has ever been to a Comme des Garçons show would know. It's about something more interesting than that.
Ford is an interesting gentleman, one who, despite approaching his 50th birthday, still regards sex with the thigh-rubbing, hyper-excitement of a virginal teenager who has spent too long in his room looking at porn. Here is a man who sees double entendres where there is hardly an entendre, and who once advertised a bottle of men's cologne by photographing it between a woman's bare breasts: "Wear this cologne and soon you'll be nestling in a cleavage, too!" Yes, Tom, we get it. So it was inevitable that when it came time to design adverts for his new shower gel, he would photograph a pair of naked youths, and is now waiting for the cash to roll in – doubtless while lounging at home in a silk gown next to a conveniently naked Scarlett Johansson, who is licking a stick of Tom Ford deodorant.
Can you explain at what point does something cross over from being ugly to cool?
It's simple, Charlotte. Look at your thumb. Do you see the rules on it? You know, the one that says: "The calories you expend going to the fridge equate to the number of calories you ingest from it"? And then there's the one that says: "The time it takes for you to get over him is the time it will take for him to get over you." So many rules of thumb! Well, an oft-overlooked one, just under the bottom ridge, says: "At the point you believe it is safe to hate a style is when that style will become fashionable." This explains the current presence of high-waisted tapered jeans in the window of American Apparel, for example. And partly why American Apparel is in dire financial straits.
Cage's arrest early Saturday followed an incident involving charges of domestic abuse battery, disturbing the peace and public drunkenness. Turns out, Dog (aka Duane Chapman) posted bail for the movie star, the A&E cable reality series bounty hunter confirmed to E! News. But Dog would rather not elaborate.
"Media from around the world have been requesting interviews with me today after reports surfaced about my posting a bond for actor Nicolas Cage in New Orleans," Chapman told E! News. "I am a truly dedicated fan of Mr. Cage and will not be granting any interviews about my client as I wish to respect his privacy. I performed my duties as a bail bondsman and not in connection with our show. This is what I do for a living. There are two sides of my job: I release my clients after they have been arrested; and pick them up if they don't show up in court. I do not believe the latter will be the case for Mr. Cage."
Before his arrest, Cage was caught on surveillance camera arguing with his wife as companions and other witnesses looked on inside a tattoo parlor
ASTON — Local experts and law enforcement officials discussed the dangers of cyber problems, including inappropriate messages on social networking websites and sexual text messages, during a cyberbullying summit at Neumann University on Tuesday.
“You cannot erase something that goes into cyberspace,” said Dr. Kathleen Conn, a nationally recognized expert on cyberbullying and assistant professor for Neumann University’s Division of Education and Human Services. “You don’t know where it will go.”
Cyberbullying includes insulting and threatening messages on social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. “Sexting” includes text messages with sexual language and nude pictures.
Conn said victims of cyberbullying may act angry or depressed and usually avoid talking about these incidents with other people.
She added that the students might stop using technology or get jumpy when they receive a text message, email or message on social networking sites.
Conn stressed the need for parents to be involved in their children’s online activity. She also noted that computers should be left in common areas of the house and children should not be allowed to bring computers into their bedrooms where their online activity could go unmonitored.
Neumann University teamed up with the Delaware County District Attorney’s office for the summit.
“When you take a picture and put it on the Internet, you can’t take it back,” said Assistant District Attorney Joseph Lesniak, a member of the Special Victims Unit. “When it’s out there, it’s out there. You can’t take it back.”
Lesniak recommended that parents become “friends” with their children on Facebook. He said this will allow parents to monitor their children’s behavior and may deter their children from participating in inappropriate activity. Continued...
