Nov. 29, 2001 Arts 6c Entertainment Page 19 aiiiiileliiigeshiiiijis What to wear to a Christmas Party mm Strategically placed mistletoe, delightfully expensive presents, those long car rides just to see the neighborhood Christmas lights, yep, a world of romance is wait ing for many students when they return home for the holidays. All those intimidating glares threaten ing people to get off the cardio machines at Koury will finally pay off when you can showcase your hot bod to your best friend, always critical grandmother and especially that cute guy/girl who you used to have a thing for in high school. Christmas time requires classy party attire. Keep in mind, it is cold outside, and girls can’t be too eager to show off their cute little booty when snow is on the ground. In the summer, the style competition can be misinterpreted into a who-can-look-the-most-na- ked contest. A girl in college needs to remember the vivid pos sibility of a death by hypothermia. A Christmas party does not mean that you need to Right: sweater $48 and skirt $44 at gap.com; Below: belt $19.99 and boots $228 at bananarepublic. com show up looking like Ms. Claus. I love the color red, trust me, but don’t go over board like my neighbor last Christmas. She wore red patent leather shoes, red leggings, a sweater that resembled a fire engine topped by a ruby elf hat to the neighborhood party. The only other color in her outfit was gold in the ever-ringing bells hang ing from her socks and sweater. Black is always classy and slimming but if you want to spice up a plain black cardigan look for something with faux fur trim. Please, no matter what you do, don’t buy any thing with real fur or I will have to wish upon you the horrible fate ...without looking like a ho ho ho Mi of rotting in hell for the rest of time. Fake fur is just as glamor ous and doesn’t make you a self ish murderer. Ladies- You can’t go wrong with anything that sparkles and shimmers. If you can’t afford a shirt beaded and embroidered, do it yourself. Christmas lights ev erywhere are meant to make you glow and shine this Christmas so look for clothes that catch the light. Guys- Look for sweaters that bring out the color in your eyes. A forest green sweater looks to die for on a guy with green eyes and navy and cocoa can really bring out blue-eyed and brown-eyed guys too. Sweaters this season are a little tighter around the upper arms, just to show off extra hours in the Koury weight center. You can make a huge differ ence this Christmas if you take the time to care. Buy clothes from Web sites that sell organic cloth ing. You’ll feel so much better I aniartin@elon.edu about yourself if you know where the clothes are made and by whom. Buy the world a gift this Christmas and don’t poison it with chemicals used to dye clothes and grow cotton in third world coun tries. Buy used clothing instead of new and you won’t be depleting the world of its resources. Vintage and organic clothes make unique, one-of-a-kind presents. from BRITNEY page 17 edly exposed Spears’ infatua tion with Janet Jackson’s “Control” era. While nasty boy lyrics were fed to the au dience, Spears and her danc ers were slapped from behind in the most sexual nature. Considering the age of the au dience, this behavior would have crossed a line, that is, if iTTsT Odds & Ends: This week take a look at the various events and contests that are going on around the area. Get out and enjoy the parties and festivites. Also, take a stab at making a video in The Christopher’s contest. It could earn you $3000. MTV hadn’t traversed it more than a decade ago. Musically, the styles varied from linear rock (“Stronger” and Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock’n’RoH”) to mid-tempo pandering (“Don’t Let Me Be The Last To Know”), and the crossover pop stylings of Faith Hill meets Shania Twain (“I’m SynergyS MS Society benefit and party @ Humble Pie 317 S Harrington St. Raleigh Tickets $15 at door Doors open 10 p.m, 18+ Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman”). Look for the latter track to be her next single. The playful “Anticipation” and predictably sleazy “I’m a Slave 4 U” ended the main set with Spears returning for the brief encore “...Baby One More Time.” With a circular shower pouring down on the stage, a drenched Spears seemingly cleansed herself of . the evening’s pelvic-thrust- heavy show. When taking into account the special effects, precise Video Contest $3,000 First prize www.christopher.or^contests Season at Old Salem Christmas in the Movarian tradition. 9 a.m-5 p.m through Dec.31 600 S Main St. W-S choreography, and a cavalcade of hits, Spears’ hour-and-a- half, 17-song performance confirmed her pop queen sta tus was justified. Considering it was only a few years ago that this Louisiana native ap peared overwhelmed onstage, like a clumsy freshman trying out for the varsity cheerleading squad, Spears shared her dream-within-a- dream life with fans, who in variably had their expecta tions exceeded. Holidays at Chinqua-Penn Historic mansion and grounds all decked out for the season. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Th-Sat Through Dec.29 Tickets: $13 2138 Wentworth St. RV from HARRY page 17 continue at that number for a few weeks. Come January, it’ll gradually phase out. Final guesstimate? $350 million. What do you think? Will Harry stick around? E-mail me and give me your thoughts. Next week I’ll focus on the discussion of DVDs. I’ll look at how far it has come, where it’s going and why these shiny discs are becoming a safe ha ven for the intellectually starved movie goer. DON’t FORGET to go to Elon’s Christmas lighting. Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in Scott Plaza.
