What began with a few simple Google searches on prominent fashion blogs, became an eye-opener into the fashion-blogging world featuring posts from everyday girls from all over the globe.

It's the end of the semester and you're a Longhorn, so the chances that you've met someone in a band are pretty high. The chances you've sat down for coffee with a British-American rock and roll band that constantly tours the country, plays South By Southwest and Austin City Limits, and has released an album on Island Records? Not so high. That's exactly what I had the...

In a small classroom located in the basement level of the Student Services Building, Megan Stanfield has found her niche amongst a dozen other female students that together comprise the ColorCancer Texas Chapter.
Hubbub. The sounds that flood the room composed of discussion, tossing ideas back and forth and good-hearted laughter all in anticipation for their upcoming event. It’s...

Jill Ventimiglia is my BBF. No, not BFF, but my BBF: best beauty friend. After working as a makeup artist for 10 years in Hollywood, it’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about beautifying any situation. A nasty car accident propelled her to seek out an esthetician’s license, and after managing a Beverly Hills spa she developed her own makeup line, Just Jill Cosmetics....

“How an insecure foodie modeled her way to just desserts”
Remember the movie Mean Girls? (Of course you do.) Do you remember how some girls reacted to Regina George’s bullying like this? Lisa Siva is not one of those girls. Siva, a Plan II and English junior, instead took revenge by becoming a model. AND a successful food blogger who enjoys nothing more than a spoonful of...

A girl loves her fashion and one thing Maya knows, owner of Maya Star and Co-Star, is fashion. Maya slowed down to sit down with me about her fast-paced world and the to-die-for pieces in both her stores for the bargain hunters and the wealthy pocketbooks.
HC: Tell us a little about Maya Star.
MS: Well I started back in ’95. I was a UT student part-time working for the State of Texas...

I met up with public relations senior Talib Abdullahi (called ‘T’ for short) at Caffé Medici. When I walked in, expecting a handshake at arrival, he greeted me with a high five instead. Embarrassingly admitting that I have never been to Caffé Medici, Abdullahi laughed and jokingly told me that he goes there a lot just to hang out (although he assured me that the coffee...

With Whitney Houston passing away recently, I realized I am still mourning Michael Jackson’s death. He will forever be a legendary performer, and I will forever be busting out Thriller moves on Halloween. One of my favorites is “Man in the Mirror”, where MJ challenges his listeners to self-reflect in order to create change in the world. MJ knew he could use his music to...

Think of the words “improvisational theater,” and you might imagine Drew Carey, the cast of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and perhaps a predictable show format. While both the aforementioned show and UT’s own Gigglepants Improv are guaranteed to make you laugh until you cry, the latter is anything but predictable. After performing to a packed audience during last Friday...
