...Rose” as women sporting black elbow-length gloves minced through the crowd. It was a chance to unwrap the dry-cleaning plastic from chic dresses. One fashionista wore a fine off-white, cotton-linen dress painted with abstract-expressionistic verve, in warm reds and yellows: the Gucci version of a stained burlap sack. The Fogg’s atrium provided the perfect environment for this tragicomedy (for every bit of farce is mingled with the hardship of wearing last season’s heels). The second-story peristyle provided the backdrop for gowned and tuxedoed couples to make...
...angered the Vatican in 2006 when he renounced the priesthood to enter politics. He went on to spearhead an uneasy alliance of Liberals, socialists and workers' movements that have long opposed Colorado hegemony. His policies remain vague, and his critics warn that he would simply be a Paraguayan version of radical leftists like Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Bolivian President Evo Morales.

To get over his ex, Peter takes the advice of his brother and jets off to Hawaii. Upon his arrival...
...shaky, overly repetitive choruses that lack the sumptuous ease and glossy irresistibility that the rest of the album flaunts. The closing track, “Midnight Souls Still Remain,” is perhaps the album’s most problematic song (though arguably a success as a musical version of conspicuous consumption). Clocking in at 11 minutes and 11 seconds of monochromatic ambient noise, it soothes like much of the rest of the album, but it’s difficult to resist the fast-forward button after a didactic five minutes leaves listeners with nothing to look forward...
