Thimblegs & Threads ~Trends for 2010
By Cait Hazinsky — Lion's Eye Staff Writer- ceh5240@psu.edu
Bright colors, funky prints, and tons
of accessories---trends of 2009. Florals, white
nail polish, and even crazier matchups—2010
trends.
This season’s must-haves are:
{3 Floral Prints
2. Striped Patterns
3. Beaded Accessories
4. Platform Pumps
5. Blazer
6. Bright Nail Polish
Something to note: boldness is in!
If mixing unconventional colors together is
something you are into, then now is your time
to try it. On all the major runways, designers
are splashing the catwalk with an enormous
palette of color. Mixtures of yellows and
greens, purples and blues, reds and oranges re-
ally make for some interesting concoctions of
clothing. Designers like Tory Burch are tak-
ing a more neutral and earth tone look for their
spring collection, but most other designers are
taking a more extreme turn and filling their
clothing lines with bright colors and layering.
Likewise, whatever the outfit—accessorize.
Put on a moderately gaudy bangle to accentu-
ate the coloring of your outfit, add a scarf to a
plain tee and jeans, or even just put on a pair of
pumps to lengthen your leg line!
This season is all about the mixing and
matching, but with some rhyme and rhythm—
this isn’t the “grunge” era all over again. One
of the goals for this season is to look girly, but
with a slight edge to it. For example, when
wearing a cute floral mini, pair it with some
killer heels (or even some “Boho” flip flops)
and throw on a cropped blazer to finish it off.
Or if your style is not so “girly,” take some
risks with mixing your patterns! Take a striped
shirt and mix it with a sequined mini skirt, add
a pair of textured stockings, and army boots (if
it’s chilly out—add a bomber jacket).
Bohemian mixed with a little cowboy
is back in as well, so take a pair of cut-off shorts
match it with a plaid or patterned button down
shirt and you have yourself a nice comfortable,
fashionable outfit. Accessorizing this outfit can
be fun! You can add on a cool vintage belt, or
go more Mid-western and use a brown leather

shows/complete/S2010RTW-NLEPORE
belt with a larger buckle. Wear it with some
boots or maybe some nice gladiator sandals.
And to keep the sun out of your eyes throw on
a pair of aviator sunglasses. :
This change in fashion sense has
opened the pathways for every person to fully
be original. Let’s face it, we all want to have
free reign on what we wear without receiving
judgment—well, now’s your time to give it a
whirl. : :
Remember: with: this year’s fashion
anything goes, so have fun and be bold!
Cosmic NOISE
THE WHAT? THE WHO!
By Kyrstin Camp - Lions Eye Staff Writer - ksc5136@psu.edu
Singing along to “Pinball Wizard”
and “Who Are You” were thousands of Who
fans had a blast at the February 7th Superbowl
half time show. Older generations attended for
the feeling of being a kid again and for a good
old taste of rock ‘n’ roll. Creating waves in the
60’s and finally reaching the shores of 2010,
this multigenerational band’s has been called
“AMAZING”, but many believe that they had
their time and are not the performers that they
used to be.
Many would fight to say that The
Who's show will remain unmatched, but others
would beg to differ. The Chicago Sun-Times
reported that the band was, “woefully flat and
out of sync” and the Dallas Morning News
stated that, “the stage was the most exciting part
of the show.” People from home Twittered and
Facebooked their opinions and left comments
for all to see. One Tweeter accounted, “The Who
will always be great, but that was not singing...
they are long past their prime”. Another angrily
stated, “The Who were Whorrible! Who came
up with the idea of booking them?!” Oth-
ers fought back saying, “25 or 65, The Who
rocked! It’s sad that so many of you are so F'n
clueless!” Overall, the reading from the crowd
~was varied. Sadly, it was even noticed by the
performers themselves that the crowd was just a
bit less than enthralled. When talking to ESPN.
com reporters, lead singer Daltry, age 65, stated,
“I thought it went OK... .those in the stadium
weren’t exactly into the five song medley.”
Being dubbed as a “Who cares Superbowl”
many fans from the heyday found the perfor-
mance bittersweet. Many found the songs nos-
talgic but found that Daltry “couldn’t squeeze
out the same notes that they could.” Others even
claim that The Who didn’t really play out that
day because Kieth Moon (past drummer) and
John Entwistle (past bassist) weren’t present
says RollingStone.com. On the other hand, oth-
ers would say that it was a great thing having
The Who play at halftime. The fact is having
them play introduced their sound to a whole new
generation, and in a time where 80 % of bands
sound exactly alike, having a different twist is
nice and needed. Regardless of the angry out-
bursts, the majority of the onlookers had a blast
.and say that the 60-plus-year-old performers stil}
know how to jam and they certainly ensured a
good time.
