As happens often, I had a chance yesterday to run down a Villager, one who was aghast! aghast! at Michelle Wolf's WHCD performance, on Mass Ave in Spring Valley, but failed you again.

"forgotten" - what about the towns at the bottom of quabbin reservoir in massachusetts? no, they aren't - after reading james tate's poem about the reservoir i ordered a couple of books about them - william weld's novel 'stillwater', and a book of watercolor paintings about the swift river

Heroin chic was a look popularized in mid-1990s fashion and characterized by pale skin, dark circles underneath the eyes, very skinny body, dark red lipstick and angular bone structure. The look, characterised by emaciated features and androgyny, was a reaction against the "healthy" and vibrant look of models such as Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer. A 1996 article in the Los Angeles Times stated that the fashion industry had "a nihilistic vision of beauty" that was reflective of drug addiction and the U.S. News and World Report called the movement a "cynical trend".
