...best interest of my natural teeth, and as I needed those pearlies to bite the bullet that I knew was heading for me, I put on a black tie like a noose, and went. When they snuffed the lights, I squinted at the stage and hoped like a bridegroom on the big night that it would be worth...
...with a phalanx of security guards, tents and enormous speakers that first blasted rain-forest noises so they couldn't hear the ceremony, followed by heavy-metal music (White Zombie did the honors) to get rid of them. The bride's son gave her away, and one of the bridegroom's sons was best man. The pool was strewn with lilies and candles, and Marvin Hamlisch and a 16-piece orchestra played the processionals. As evening fell, in a final romantic touch, the couple's publicists released a joint statement...
...Aeneas (Christian Quilici '01) smirks slyly to himself all the way through the scene in which he is first introduced to Dido. Coyly, he looks off to the side, away from Dido and all the other actors with whom he is supposed to be interacting. He beams like a bridegroom, embarrassed but already certain of his prize.

But after the ceremony, guests were offered only wine. Ames explained that he couldn't afford a fancy reception because the cost of his previous marriage's breakup had cleaned him out. Guests...
...probably isn't possible to paint a naked human back without remembering Ingres's bathers, but Bowery's pose also recalls Goya's giant looming over its landscape. The conjunction of his massive and dynamically arched trunk with the waiflike body of the sleeping girl in And the Bridegroom, 1993, evokes the gross strong men and tiny dancers of Picasso's Rose Period. The lanky bodies on the iron studio bed in Two Women, 1992, are a little like Courbet's lesbians, without the Second Empire titillation. A naked man on his back, one leg up and a sock dangling...
