This perfectly tailored dress cinched mid-waist to keep Flavia looking elegant and refined amidst the backstage chaos of a runway show, while its delicate pink coloring belied the powerful force beneath it. As production assistant and model coordinator, Flavia kept things under control with professional polish that reached the face of both her and the show. Classic black heels and a simple strand of pearls show how minimalist accessories can be sophisticated staples, and cropped sleeves serve both form and function for a glamorous girl at work. Flavia’s look proves that a perfect balance between pretty and powerful has a power all its own.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Shoes: </span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://www.shopdolcevita.com/">Dolce Vita</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">, $90</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Dress: Urban Thread, $40</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Necklace: Vintage, $3</span><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: georgia;font-size:85%;" >- Hallie Wunsch </span><div class="blogger-post-footer">For more of the best entertainment from around Gainesville, visit our Web site, <a href="http://www.insitemagazine.com">INsiteMagazine.com</a>.</div>INsite Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13359988663957480035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873182627048450446.post-32431531874929581532010-04-30T14:00:00.000-04:002010-04-30T14:00:00.280-04:00April Art Walk<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR1V9Y0b9v_FpvHzicwdqK4o693QnR4PhVE2FO-dYU-7KNRIOibI32OmOyxh-PoIK_uNHXfDLCTLE6DVlJXXWkQy-7yMO0V1xTBiNZje1f5-BWQbf-F7kzyxCn7N5nza8P_2vTmPQdkXMO/s1600/1250020489-+09.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR1V9Y0b9v_FpvHzicwdqK4o693QnR4PhVE2FO-dYU-7KNRIOibI32OmOyxh-PoIK_uNHXfDLCTLE6DVlJXXWkQy-7yMO0V1xTBiNZje1f5-BWQbf-F7kzyxCn7N5nza8P_2vTmPQdkXMO/s320/1250020489-+09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465926931697548002" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Gainesville Art Walk, also known as GAWK amongst frequenters, is one of our favorite parts of the month. Every last Friday downtown turns into an open gallery as art boutiques, restaurants and stores turn their shops into a museum display of local art. Tonight Art Walk is hosted at seven different venues with dozens of artists on display. Most of the venues offer hor dourves like cheese and crackers, fruit and wine making Art Walk a perfect start or end to your night.<br /></span><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br />Art Walk starts at 7pm tonight April 30 and goes through 10pm.

Well, even better; she was one of 40 girlfriends of his younger, more handsome brother, Prince Jefri.

These days, she’s the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner and the mother of a young son. And what did she do with all those clothes? Let’s just say, the babysitter loves her. And is she afraid of repercussions at having revealed the less-than-graceful liaisons of the twice-married (at once) prince? No, in fact; it would seem he would be flattered.

Another fun California blend with a foxy label just made it on to the Gainesville scene: The Foxtail White Blend. Even though the back label reads a little like a drunken Aesop’s fable, the wine is light and refreshing at a great price.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Foxtail Non-Vintage White Table Wine gives no clues to the varietal blend on the label, though the aromas speak of Chardonnay and Viognier. When I looked at its website and found that Muscat is the Viognier substitute, it all made sense. There is floral quality to the nose that is common between these two varietals, though Muscat is often thought to make only sweet wines like Italy’s Moscato d’Asti or California’s dessert Orange Muscats. Muscat can be vinified dry, much like its fragrant cousin, Viognier. Viognier is more often part of the southern Rhone white blend, and gives complexity to the nose of classic dry varietals like Grenache Blanc, Roussane and Marsanne.<br /><br />The Foxtail is not a dessert wine. The nose is deceptively sweeter than the palate reveals, which makes sense, since the rest of the varietals in the blend are Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris, known for their tart acidity. </span> <span style="font-family:georgia;">I got honeysuckle and honeydew melon at the first whiff, and a palate of tart citrus with a little grapefruit pith on the finish.<br /><br />The wine has a light viscosity, no doubt from the chardonnay, but it is not oak-driven and most likely is unoaked, to enhance the fresh and fruity qualities. The acids come across on the mid-palate and back-palate, which make it ideal for pairing with light appetizers, creamy seafood dishes or a souped-up mac-and-cheese. The complexity of the nose and the very reasonable price, about $9 per bottle, can make it a great choice on a hot afternoon by the pool. </span> <span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />- Daniel Eddy</span></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" >, Manager at Gator Spirits, Westgate. <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-24130-Gainesville-Wine-Pairing-Examiner">Gainesville’s Wine Pairing Examiner</a></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">For more of the best entertainment from around Gainesville, visit our Web site, <a href="http://www.insitemagazine.com">INsiteMagazine.com</a>.</div>INsite Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13359988663957480035noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873182627048450446.post-89248420694719054252010-04-28T10:00:00.000-04:002010-04-28T10:00:02.120-04:00Iconic Inspiration<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA5Ov_zHqGb7V6o1CIKmNAud7-MnSObxA7Alouzg7Ub0B9bdJCkUiDhnZfLkp-OaAyM_CJNTxztvz4LQ4T-twK0kuXxrhFFA0ezSD8JomDDgTkVMIVp5jqpH5hehoWVcVNvt50Dg1eRhiu/s1600/LadyLala.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 228px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA5Ov_zHqGb7V6o1CIKmNAud7-MnSObxA7Alouzg7Ub0B9bdJCkUiDhnZfLkp-OaAyM_CJNTxztvz4LQ4T-twK0kuXxrhFFA0ezSD8JomDDgTkVMIVp5jqpH5hehoWVcVNvt50Dg1eRhiu/s400/LadyLala.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465183373998109586" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Lady Lala, 21, UF botany student<br /><br /></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">We dug up this bold look from the Gainesville Fashion Week archives to bring you a modern, refreshing take on spring fashion.

Her laid-back beach style comes at just the right time, as we begin to feel the transition into summer swamp heat. Katie’s look reminds us that sometimes, we can take a break from our skinnies for a more comfortable, relaxed fitting denim. Her slightly loose top is paired perfectly with easy-fit jeans that seem to be worn effortlessly. Katie’s hat serves in both function and form, providing shade while making her style stand out. An extra-long, fringed vest and simple sandals make for easy fashion that’s perfect for running errands on a warmer day. </span> <span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /><br />Hat: from a friend</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Jeans: <a href="http://www.rockandrepublic.com/">Rock & Republic</a>, $135</span> <span style="font-family:georgia;"><br />Vest: <a href="http://www.forever21.com/">Forever 21</a>, $20</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Shirt: <a href="http://www.oldnavy.com/">Old Navy</a>, $10<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" >-Hallie Wunsch</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">For more of the best entertainment from around Gainesville, visit our Web site, <a href="http://www.insitemagazine.com">INsiteMagazine.com</a>.</div>INsite Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13359988663957480035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873182627048450446.post-36809174443185470082010-04-22T14:30:00.000-04:002010-04-22T14:30:00.984-04:00Girls Swoon for Pop-Punkers at The Venue<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">You first fell to the foot-tapping and head-bobbing impulses. The next step was mouthing the clever, smooth lyrics. When The Venue decided to treat Gainesville with the ideal pop-punk-rock culmination of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/singitloud">Sing it Loud</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/arockettothemoon">A Rocket to the Moon</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/fun">fun.</a> and <a href="http://www.motioncitysoundtrack.com/">Motion City Soundtrack</a>, they must have not known how addictive, infectious and commanding the bands would be</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/ARTTM-730450.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/ARTTM-729980.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: georgia; font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >Nick Santino of A Rocket to the Moon</span><br /><br /></div><span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:85%;" >It spanned from slow tempo crescendos to energetic perfection. Even The Venue succumbed to timely precision, being so prompt in giving the audience what it wanted; I ended up missing <a href="http://www.myspace.com/singitloud">Sing it Loud</a>. From the girls’ looks, they were anything but disappointed.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/arockettothemoon">A Rocket to the Moon</a> continued the momentum, swooning the crowd even through minor mistakes. Singer Nick Santino bashfully admitted to messing up lyrics. “We’re not perfect,” he said laughing.<br /><br />The audience soon forgot after the poignant “Like We Used To.” Nick’s youthful vocals complete the relationship-oriented lyrics (“Does he do all these things like I used to?”), resonating with the audience. Although the instruments are generic, such as in “If Only They Knew,” the simplicity blends into vigorous, upbeat anthems. After all, that’s why the crowd came to the show.<br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/FUN.4-711616.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 274px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/FUN.4-711181.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >Nate Ruess of fun.<br /></span><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Expectations were set when <a href="http://www.myspace.com/fun">fun.</a> began to prepare its stage. With a name like that, there are standards; it met and surpassed all.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Girls in the front gave deafening cheers as singer Nate Ruess twirled the microphone, dancing along and including the audience any chance he got. Despite confusing Gainesville with Jacksonville, he won over everyone with his dominating pop vocals. It has tinges of rasp, giving a rawer feeling, but it’s still auditory silk. “All the Pretty Girls” and “Walking The Dog” became melodic sing-alongs, Nate leading the enthusiastic pack. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/fun">Fun.</a> is in a genre of its own, blending simple chords and positivity for a dynamic night.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Andrew Dost stole the show as well, pulling triple-musician-duty as backup vocalist, keyboardist and even trumpeter. His twinkling keys bordered classic play and pop, like in “The Gambler.”</span><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/MSC-759440.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/MSC-758952.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family: georgia;">Justin Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack</span></span><br /><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">When the roadies exited the stage and lights dimmed, the crowd immediately knew <a href="http://www.motioncitysoundtrack.com/">Motion City Soundtrack</a> was about to come on. With mere steps onto the stage, singer Justin Pierre had all authority over the audience.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">The pop-punk band went straight to it, wasting no time with gimmicks and stage props. Justin – on the tips of his toes – thrashed on his guitar, occasionally pausing to say “hey.” It left room for a full hour of brisk, invigorating hits, stopping in between to thank the audience.</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Justin’s presence was like no other performers’. He had a sporadic vigor and animated faces that drew the crowd in. His soaring vocals are pop-punk ideal – one part nasal, the other flawless. Justin’s signature witty, ingenuous lyrics led the audience to flail their arms, mouthing and screaming the words.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">For “Late Night,” Joshua slowed it down with a melodious, steady cadence – strumming with his thumb for a perfect rendition. Bassist Matt Taylor and drummer Tony Thaxton tied it all together for a tempo made from musical gods. <a href="http://www.motioncitysoundtrack.com/">Motion City Soundtrack</a> abruptly left the stage, leaving the crowd chanting, “One more song.” A man even screamed, “Two more songs.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">The guys approached the stage again, Justin saying, “You’re so sweet – thank you,” and commenced onto their encore. Shaky vocals seasoned battering drums and feral guitars and bass (compared to other tracks). That was only the climax. <a href="http://www.motioncitysoundtrack.com/">Motion City Soundtrack</a> completed the show by ending with what got them started – “Everything is Alright.” Each member’s energy rivaled that of the crowd’s. They jumped, hopped and gave every side attention.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">And while Justin still had the crowd drawn in, he left everything with a taste of his wisdom: “Be kind to one another. Go forth and do cool shit.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-style: italic;">- Photos and story by Nicole La Hoz</span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">For more of the best entertainment from around Gainesville, visit our Web site, <a href="http://www.insitemagazine.com">INsiteMagazine.com</a>.</div>INsite Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13359988663957480035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873182627048450446.post-13537386871496615162010-04-22T12:48:00.003-04:002010-04-22T13:02:16.802-04:00All White, Black-Out<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/WhiteParty-700553.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/WhiteParty-799887.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/SharabWhite-733577.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/SharabWhite-732361.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Black lights, white attire and a fired-up dance floor are what made the "End of Semester White Party" at <a href="http://www.sharablounge.com/">Sharab Lounge </a>a hit. The night also celebrated customer appreciation with free drinks until 11 pm.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Doors opened at 9 pm. to provide a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere before the party upstairs started. DJ Matt Mobley “MOB” kept a smooth, eclectic vibe to entertain a wide age range of people that were enjoying hookah and free drinks. Once the upstairs opened, a flock of white rushed up to hear the sizzling mixes of DJ BiG T that included Latin hits, reggaeton, top 40 and hip hop.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">At the beginning of the night about 150 people were downstairs, but when it came time to dance, there was almost barely enough room to move. Sharab just had their capacity raised from 490 people to 790 by the City of Gainesville on Wednesday. With this raise, promoters of Fuego Entertainment were expecting about 400 to 600 people overall, and they reached that range. And while the drinks were free, a majority of people were really there for the DJs, who kept everyone going into the night.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-style: italic;">- Photos and story by Mary Manchess</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">For more of the best entertainment from around Gainesville, visit our Web site, <a href="http://www.insitemagazine.com">INsiteMagazine.com</a>.</div>INsite Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13359988663957480035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873182627048450446.post-64622413101074231252010-04-21T17:55:00.002-04:002010-04-21T18:00:05.288-04:00Puddle of Mudd at The Venue<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/pom-710710.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 273px;" src="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/pom-710707.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.puddleofmudd.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Puddle of Mudd </span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">has been collecting fans since its appearance in the post-grunge scene in 1992.

The price points, which have always been affordable have gotten even lower; and the clothes, which have always been cute, even more stylish. And now with the addition of carrying local designers that no one else is carrying, Calzatura is setting itself apart in the fashion community.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">This is all fitting considering the store's logo change. What was once "Calzatura Chic Boutique," is now changed to "Calzatura Boutique: Chic, Unique and Affordable." The new slogan encapsules all the changes we have seen the store undergo.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Thursday, the store will celebrate its 10-year anniversary with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=115204791838223&ref=ts">Calzatura Cocktail Night</a>, an event that promises food, art and deep discounts for all attendees. The cocktail night kicks off at 7pm, with everything in the store going at 40 percent off. That is a huge discount for a store that has all its merchandise priced under $100.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">To help guests get into the celebratory mood, Calzatura will have cupcakes by the new gourmet cupcake store in town, Yum Cakery (which is amazingly yummy), and champagne.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">"It is very important for us to support the local community," says Meghan Van Joosten, Calzatura's PR director. "There is a lot of great talent in the area, which everyone deserves to know about."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Aside from hosting treats from local vendors, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=115204791838223&ref=ts">Calzatura's Cocktail Night</a> will also feature displayed artwork by Sergio Castro, a local artist with a lot of urban flair. The biggest local focus though comes from Calzatura's launching of three local lines, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gainesville-FL/BOBBYK-Design/98968321321?ref=ts">BobbyK</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=264261399204&ref=search&sid=1169017756.2444324254..1">Courtney Lee Designs</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sironna-Swimwear/357646376463?ref=ts">Sironna</a>. The three lines which are surprisingly affordable, establish Calzatura as a safe-haven for up-and-coming designers.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">The selection of these designers points to Calzatura's motto of uniqueness, not only will the lines only be available at Calzatura, but they are also highly varied from each other. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gainesville-FL/BOBBYK-Design/98968321321?ref=ts">BobbyK</a> is womenswear (and now also menswear), <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=264261399204&ref=search&sid=1169017756.2444324254..1">Courtney Lee Designs</a> is a jewelry line, while <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sironna-Swimwear/357646376463?ref=ts">Sironna</a> is a swimwear line.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">"We really want to show that every girl is a Calzatura girl, whether you are looking for something for a night on the town, day, the beach or even a cute new accessory, we got it," Meghan says. "The best thing is, we have it all at really affordable prices."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=115204791838223&ref=ts">Calzatura Cocktail Night</a> is on Thursday (4/22) from 7-10pm at Calzatura, 201 SE 2nd Ave.</span><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;" >- SG</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Check back tomorrow to get the scoop on the store's revampment.

INsite traveled to California for this world-renowned music festival to catch up on new music and the form-meets-function of festival fashion. We saw everything from Indian headdresses to pasties to the singer of Deer Tick in a sundress and green, glitter cowboy hat. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Major trends included high-waisted shorts, floppy hats, flat lace-up boots and captain’s hats for girls; and bandanas, frat tanks and ’80s gear for boys. And of course, there were an abundance of glow sticks, glitter and paint-adorned bodies. If this doesn’t give you an idea of what to wear for upcoming festivals, stay tuned for a music festival fashion guide. </span></span></p><div style="text-align: -webkit-center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Lucida Grande', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; white-space: pre-wrap; "><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="288" height="192" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Finsitekevin%2Falbumid%2F5462323156758014241%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></span></span></span></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><i>—Ashley McCredie</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p> <!--EndFragment--><div class="blogger-post-footer">For more of the best entertainment from around Gainesville, visit our Web site, <a href="http://www.insitemagazine.com">INsiteMagazine.com</a>.</div>INsite Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13359988663957480035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873182627048450446.post-81485777716611549842010-04-19T17:03:00.003-04:002010-04-19T18:56:41.825-04:00Motion City Soundtrack at The Venue<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/motioncity-716829.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/motioncity-716826.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Pop-punk band Motion City Soundtrack, who rose to fame with their song "Everything is Alright," will be playing at The Venue on Wednesday at 7pm.

Kira’s look was inspired by the new collection at For Love- Forever 21’s accessory store, found at the Oaks Mall on Newberry Road. Kira’s feminine floral dress uses layers to create a silhouette nothing short of charming, while a metallic belt makes way for excess in accessories. Pearl strands are topped with a chunky gold heart that works to balance the bold belt. An oversized black-bow headband gives Kira girly flair and leaves her style striking. Black ballet flats tone down the look, making this outfit perfect for a beautiful day on campus.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Dress,: </span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://www.express.com/home.jsp">Express</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">, $60</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Belt: </span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://www.forever21.com/category.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=love21_main&Page=1">For Love</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">, $6</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Headband: </span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://www.forever21.com/category.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=love21_main&Page=1">For Love</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">, $6</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Shoes: </span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://www.payless.com/store/">Payless</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">, $10</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Necklace: </span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://www.forever21.com/category.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=love21_main&Page=1">For Love</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">, $6</span><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: georgia;font-size:85%;" >- Hallie Wunsch</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">For more of the best entertainment from around Gainesville, visit our Web site, <a href="http://www.insitemagazine.com">INsiteMagazine.com</a>.</div>INsite Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13359988663957480035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873182627048450446.post-85524834596073867192010-04-16T15:30:00.001-04:002010-04-16T15:30:01.054-04:00Around the World in 80 Days<div align="center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/80daysensemble-776190.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 174px;" src="http://www.insitegainesville.com/blog/uploaded_images/80daysensemble-776188.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><em><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo from The Hippodrome's website</span></em><br /></div><p><span style="font-size:85%;">The theater might cause some to stray away. Thoughts of yawning and boredom play across minds. But the </span><a href="http://thehipp.org/mainstage/"><span style="font-size:85%;">Hippodrome’s Around the World in 80 Days</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> is not typical theater.</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">The year is 1872. Train is the mode of travel. India is still British soil. Director Lauren Caldwell turns this into a bizarre setting – colorful drapes stream across the ceiling, adorned by Christmas lights and paper lanterns. Two small fish tanks outline the sides, representing travel by sea. Clocks tick in the background, glowing and spinning fast. This is a place where five actors play 39 characters, utilizing every aspect of the stage, including the audience.</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span></p><span style="font-size:85%;">Mark Brown’s adaptation of Jules Verne’s 1873 novel begins much the same: our protagonist, Phileas Fogg, places a wager at his Reform Club. He is a strict, precise man with a new servant: an ex-circus act Frenchman named Passepartout. Phileas rarely falls off schedule and gives Passepartout exact times and directions for when he should complete his duties. This stringency leads him to bet 20,000 pounds he can travel around the world in 80 days. Phileas’ cyclical life and plan begin to haze when it’s reported a gentleman bank robber is on the run; he’s the lead suspect. A stubborn, clumsy Detective Fix, bearing much resemblance to Inspector Clouseau, follows the duo. He’s convinced by his “sixth sense” Phileas is the robber. His frivolous spending adds to suspicion, ensuring obstacles, missed trains and humorous detours.</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Around the World’s comedy doesn’t necessarily come from the situations, but absurdity. Five actors play 39 riotous characters, meaning they quickly adapt their wardrobe on stage for each portrayal. Whether they switched hats or wear stereotypical clothing, laughing commenced. They’re not limited to humans, though. When in India, Sir Francis joins Detective Fix, Phileas and Passepartout. Their train cannot travel any further, so the three go by elephant. The costume? Each represents a different part of the elephant – flopping ears, legs and face. The play relies on audiences’ imaginations and ability to let loose. To represent traveling by train, the actors took out glowing cylinder frames and moved them in a chugging motion. They also hopped on trampolines to depict the shaking, delivering even more laughs</span><span style="font-size:85%;">.</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:85%;">If it weren’t for the actors’ incredible ability to never break character, Around the World would not have been successful.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Dozing off or texting away isn’t an option during Around the World. The unconventional use of imagination brings roars of laughter as the actors walk through the tightly packed aisles, up wooden stair rails and shoot water. It’s a tale of adventure and romance, but most of all, lightheartedness. The play opens today and runs through May 9 at the Hippodrome. Tickets range from $25-30 for general audiences and $12 for students.</span></span></p><p><em><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:85%;">- Nicole La Hoz</span></span></em><br /></p><p align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;">First person to comment or retweet this wins free tickets to opening night tonight 4/16 at 8pm. </span></span></strong></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">For more of the best entertainment from around Gainesville, visit our Web site, <a href="http://www.insitemagazine.com">INsiteMagazine.com</a>.</div>INsite Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13359988663957480035noreply@blogger.com0
