A PEEK INSIDE FENS FASHION UNFASHIONABLE FINDS
Anna Wintour Editor of Vogue
some serious attention. TT: What brands do you typically shop the most?
As we all know, Fenwicks Sports Pub on 238 is at the height of the fashion world, with college celebs of all calibur showing off their looks. Recently, designer brands like Tory Burch and Louis Vuitton want to showcase their work to students. The students however, have shunned the designers and photographers who seek a peek into their beloved institution and stuck to their classic looks from Zara and Shein. Tilly Pukesalot is a senior communication major with a concentration in fashion marketing. She is also the president of the Fashion Club of Manhattan College. The Tri: What is your go to look on a night out? JM: I try to dress a little differently than everyone else. I’ll wear like a tube top, I like my pink cheetah one the most, ripped skinny jeans, and my classic Air Forces. It’s a little bit of a daring fit, but it gets me
JM: I’m a Zara girlie! I know it’s a little basic, but I’m always wearing their newest lines as soon as they are out. TT: What if there is a themed night, how does that change your look for the evening? JM: It really depends on what the theme is, but usually I’m going all out. For example, I went to the Hawaii-themed night on Thursday and wore a hot pink tube top and a lei. I’m not afraid to be different. TT: Are there any factors that might affect what you’re wearing from night to night? JM: If I’ve broken up with someone recently or like a situationship just ended and I know I’m going to see the guy at the bar I’ll wear a revenge fit for sure. Usually that’s a hot pink top with leather pants. If they see me wearing that they know I mean business. Jordan McCool is a freshman studying finance. McCool is the self proclaimed, “king
Crazy Daizy Maizy
of Fens” and never misses a Thirsty Thursday. The Tri: What is your go to look on a night out? I’m always rocking the khakis, a sports jersey, go Mets!, and my favorite pair of blue Vans. TT: What brands do you typically shop the most? I don’t really buy clothes for myself. Every six months my mom takes me to the mall and makes me try stuff on and that’s what I’ll wear… But I like Lids. TT: What would you say is the vibe of Fens, clothing-wise? I see a lot of girls wearing those tight, stringy tops, I like that. I also like the black pants they wear. I would say that’s the vibe. TT: What if there is a themed night, how does that change your look for the evening? Themes are dumb in my opinion, I don’t really dress intheme unless there’s a jersey night. Ina Titsoff is a freshman studying education. Even in her first year at MC, she is an
avid Fens-goer. The Tri: What is your go to look on a night out? I love wearing my brown leather pants and my Urban corset top. Sometimes I’ll wear heels if I’m not planning on drinking too much but generally I’ll wear Docs. TT: What brands do you typically shop the most? I do wear a lot of thrifted
clothes, but if I’m shopping for something specific I like Brandy and I.M.G.I.A TT: What if there is a themed night, how does that change your look for the evening? I always go all out for themes, like I’m doing the most out of everyone. I’ll make a big cart on Amazon and spend like $50 everytime, I swear.
Cocaine Bear Takes the Quad
Bear Enthusiast On Wednesday, March 22, Manhattan College held its second annual Jasper Wellness Day. However, no one could have expected the events to come, which caused anything but wellness. As students walked around campus, enjoying their time off from classes and petting puppies on the quad, the unexpected happened: Cocaine Bear stormed the Quad. Billy Joe, a student at MC, was walking on the Quad when the takeover occurred. “It was honestly pretty crazy,” Joe said, “I was just drinking a smoothie on the Quad when all of a sudden Cocaine Bear was there.” The bear immediately began to wreak havoc. “It started drinking all of the smoothies that were on the table, and demanded more,” Joe explained, “It was strange because I didn’t know bears knew how to use cups.” After drinking all of the smoothies on the Quad, the Cocaine Bear then focused its attention on the MC Jasper Dancers. Betty White, a professor at Manhattan, watched as the
Cocaine Bear joined in on the routine. “At first I thought he was going to attack the dancers, but then he started breaking out into a dance routine,” explained White. What surprised White the most, the bear seemed to have some talent. “The funny thing was that the bear was actually really good. I don’t know if it was the Cocaine or if it picked up something during its recent filming, but that bear has got talent.” Once they realized Cocaine Bear did not aim to harm them, Manhattan College students actually began to take photos and selfies with it. After the performance, Cocaine Bears talent manager, Paul Blart, came running onto the Quad to get the bear. After speaking to Cocaine Bear to calm him down and get him back to safety, Blart apologized. “I just want to apologize on behalf of myself and Cocaine Bear,” Blart stated, “After getting such bad reviews on the movie, Cocaine Bear has been on a bit of a downward spiral.” Cocaine Bear then walked off of the Quad, waving goodbye and getting in an Uber home. President Brother Daniel Planter of Manhattan College
released an apology to all students and staff that witnessed Cocaine Bears’ breakdown. “To all students and staff who witnessed or were affected by Cocaine Bear getting onto campus, I want to formally apologize,” Planter said, “Wellness Day was meant to be relaxing for students, not scary.” No one really knows how
Cocaine Bear made it onto campus, but it is assumed that he must have Ubered there as well. “We aren’t quite sure how Cocaine Bear made it onto campus, but this is definitely an incident that is cause for better security,” said Planter. Unfortunately Cocaine Bear was not able to give a statement, however, Paul Blart
did reach out afterward via email reminding MC students and staff to watch Cocaine Bear as soon as possible. Mental breakdown or publicity stunt, Cocaine Bear definitely made Jasper Wellness Day a bit more interesting and hectic for MC students and staff.
