The Life Electronic
At last year’s Aura Music and Arts Festival in St. Cloud, Fla., Jared Parfrey had what organizers considered the worst time slot: he was scheduled to play in a side tent during the biggest headliner’s performance. Parfrey, who makes electronic music under the name Ancient Intelligence, had felt lucky enough to have a place in...
Work it for Wishes
As an important event approaches, you search for the perfect dress. You scour your closet and then all your friends’ closets, but you yearn for a fresh look. But what to do when you just don’t have the funds? Meet Rent the Runway, a national company that ships designer fashion for 10-15% of the retail...
Pieces of What?
I am sitting in my room, scanning it like an anthropologist. What artifacts! There is a golden portrait of Nefertiti, a Venetian mask, a Nicaraguan flag, a fan from Spain, and a poster I tore from a library book about Catholic altars (I shall eventually restore that karma). I spy two wide brimmed hats (one...
The Third Rail of Ron Paul

Advanced Style
I am sitting at my desk (or comfy couch, whatever) typing out fashion musings while wearing my favorite Castle Shirt. Upon the silk-ish fabric, moats and secret trap doors dizzy. This orange and purple and aqua and chrysanthemum eye popper was waiting for me in a Salvation Army in the Florida Keys, and it serves...
Well Suited Candidates
If you were President, what would you wear? You could wear a majestic red cape and tights to externalize your most Captain America qualities and save this country. Imagine a campaign commercial of a star-spangled candidate leaping from building to building. Zip! Zap! A flash of spandex; a lightning beam smile! The president will soar...
The Picture Aramark Paints
Green Fees. The Office of Sustainability. Green CofC. Sustainable practices are the new focus of student groups and the administration, but when it comes to food, the College’s food service provider, Aramark, is saying one thing, and doing another. As Tavner Myers walked from station-to-station in Liberty Street Fresh Food Company, he quickly reaffirmed his...
The Sound of Charleston’s After Party
Towards the beginning of the semester, one of our writers, Jess Wisner, came into the newsroom and pitched us this idea: let’s follow the crew of Gilroy’s Pizza on King Street around for a night. They’re a CofC cultural icon, she said. Immediately, a podcast came to mind – but we’ve never done that before....
Running Down a Dream
As Dena O’Brien shatters another school record, people are starting to ask: Just how good can she be? She doesn’t play in front of a packed arena of 6,000 screaming fans. She’s never showcased her talents on national television. Her top YouTube clip has fewer than 300 views. But as sophomore sensation Dena O’Brien pushes...
