    Street Style: Thunderdome IX
    By Sharon Steel
    Half of Street Style had heaps of fun at Thunderdome IX with DJ Assault ("The Street Narrator") last Friday at the Greek American Political Club. Although we can't claim to be as handy with our Cannon point-and-shoot as the sartorial X-tine Atturio, we did our best to document our evening out and about in Central Square.

    Project Runway Is Happiness
    By Sharon Steel
    I'm late to the Project Runway Season 4 rehash game, but rest assured. I've already watched the debut twice (yes, twice) and I can say with a great deal of self-assurance that this is totally my favorite season so far. Not even A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila can top the happiness of Proj Run. Although it's fun to alternate Tila and PR marathons.

    A note from your street style correspondents: We vow to leave the Boston University safety net, find more well-dressed boys to shoot/stalk, and discover, for your and our personal edification, if anyone is actually wearing winter jackets yet.

    Street Style: Monday
    By Sharon Steel
    Last week, your street style correspondents stalked the Tsai Center, loitered at the GSU, and chased cute girls down Comm. Ave.--we even made one of them late for class. We were looking for flat boots, belted cardigans, and wide-legged pants, and we found most of it at Boston University, although wide-leg denim is still a mystery to us.
