After you've yowled a while, your roommates ask you to go try Radcliffe, where you proceed to spot a cute thing in a very stylish dress. Meeting her will be tough, but with ingenuity and incredible self-confidence it can be pulled off.

...Walston is a first-rate Devil. Disdaining pitchfork theatrics, he is a provokingly cool customer even when buying souls, with a tart, casual manner and a fine, stylish unwholesomeness.

Between percussioned boredom in the suburbs and rural depravity in the South, All in One offers Paul Draper's clean and stylish tap dancing.
