Rumors, a farce by Neil Simon, was directed by Carol Sutton and costumed by Will Lowry at Furman University. The farce featured outlandish characters with costumes that were crisp and sparkling that joined the characters’ social statuses and the anniversary they were supposed to celebrate. Lowry stated that with the costumes, he tried “reinforcing characters and playing with relationships.” The costumes represented each character and relationship well, but lacked success in conjunction with the set and period. Simon’s play is set in the 1980s at a deputy-mayor’s house in New York with upper class socialites. The costumes were jewel toned gowns for the women and tuxes for the men. Because dresses and tuxes form the 1980s are presumably hard to come by, the costume designer used modern found clothing and fabric to imitate the clothing of the period (Lowry). Therefore, the costumes did not exactly align with the time period. Popular elements of the 1980s were definitely incorporated into the designs, however, with peplums, bows, and outrageous shoulder articles for the women. As for the men, Glenn Cooper—the politician—wore the sleeve of his suit rolled up while Ken Goreman—the lawyer—wore a complete tux with a cummerbund and suspenders.…

Today I try on my wedding dress. Maura and I walk across the black tarmac to the all-glass storefront, Dana's Bridal Warehouse scrawled in giant letters on the glass. I regret wearing a black t-shirt today. Even in the short distance from the car to the door, the dark material absorbs the summer sun and instantly makes my armpits and under my boobs sweat. A bell tinkles overhead as we step into the air conditioning and we breathe a sigh of relief. Maura pulls out a small compact from her…

Cap & Gown Translating from one moment to the next is something big. Moving on in life is a tough thing to do at times. But graduating from school in a cap and gown makes me feel like a young man who has achieved one out of many future goals. Graduating from Junior High School was big for me for three reasons. For one, my grandma got to see me walk across the stage prod. Two, my family was there to see me and hear me be able to say, I did it. Three the entire school saw who TySuan Stuart was.…

Melania ushered in the Christmas season and shared several pictures of her looking jolly and ready to spread holiday joy. As the holiday lyrics go, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas." However, as one person quipped, Melania Trump must have thought it was snowing inside the White House when she wore her coat inside…
