4 TO DOs ranging from “Classy” to “TMZ-Status Entertainment”



There are a lot of exciting “to dos” coming up. So tie a ribbon around your finger, or break out the post-it-note reminders on your bathroom mirror/iMac/fridge/or forehead. The following list of events is compiled in a hierarchy starting at  “classy and inspired”, and ending at “TMZ-Status Entertainment.” Choose your level.

CLASSY LIKE COCO
Lecture: Remembering Vintage Fashion
Wednesday July 14, 2010, at 1:30 PM… for FREE!

Fashion is one of the most interesting ear markers of social change. The Enlightenment spurred Europeans to can the powdered wigs, much like Kurt Cobain singlehandedly (overstatement) spurred a whole generation to ditch the shoulder pads for grungified flannel. Dig into the cultural movements behind fashion.
Suzanne Snyder, Docent, Bowers Museum, will present a beautiful selection of outfits, costumes and suits ranging from 1900 to the 1960s—such as flapper dresses, poodle skirts, Jackie O. pillbox hats and everything in between.

INSPIRED LIKE A ROBERT FROST POEM
 

Dead Poets Society
Directed by Peter Weir • (1989, USA, 129 minutes) • Rated PG
Tonight, July 8, 2010 • 7:00 pm at Lucille Kuehn Auditorium (Humanities Instructional Building, Room 100) (Building #610 on campus map).
Free snacks and group discussion afterwards.

Tonight UC Irvine’s Free Summer Film Series continues on their movie theme of “Teach and Resist (which makes me wonder where Dangerous Minds is?!). Tonight’s  showing is possibly the most inspiring teach-goes-off-the-reservation film: Dead Poets Society, in which John Keating takes his classes outside, gives his lectures from desktops (the wood ones, not the word-processing ones), tears apart the textbooks (every student’s dream), and spurs intellectual rebellion among his students. You’ll leave the movie wanting to get “Carpe Diem” tattooed on your bicep.

SELF-MADE AND SUAVE LIKE GATSBY
Block Party: an Indie Arts and Crafts Show

  1. That's the most intense picture of the Hoff I've ever seen.

  2. Pretty terrifying, isn't it? Almost as terrifying of the posters with him holding the litter of kittens in nothing but a speedo. *Full body shudder*
