Ostensibly, Oscar night is about rewarding "great" cinema (like the Oscar-nominated Norbit, for instance), but let's be honest: the only real reason to watch the show is to see what everyone is wearing. Then again, you can always just skip the ceremony and peruse the reviews written by those poor souls who actually slogged through all the bombast. In the spirit of rehashing Hollywood's most masturbatory night, a look at the Five Best and Five Worst Dressed at the show. Let's play Joan Rivers!

So much fashion! So many apples!
Lucky Barnard girls have it all- apple-picking and shopping! Life is so unfair sometimes. On Friday October 5th, for only $5, Barnard girls will be shipped off to upstate New York to pick apples for an hour and a half, then go shopping at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets
Funny, the bus leaves at 9 am and returns at 6 pm. So that allots how many hours for shopping?
Run to the Barnard College Activities Office to sign up now! Hurry! Space is limited!

Rich, Beautiful Girl Finally Gets the Attention She Deserves
Vanity Fair has released its 68th Annual International Best-Dressed List; the top ten best-dressed women include the very Vogue Bee Shaffer CC'09 (Anna Wintour's daughter, but you knew that). Her company at the top includes Renée Zellweger, Michelle Obama, and, for some reason, Fran Lebowitz.
Congratulations, Bee; we're sure your summer is far more glamorous than ours.

Boys at Columbia are Fashion Nuggets
Professor Thomas Bernstein (Life Cycles of Communist Regimes) is wise in his old years. Earlier today, he explained a fashion phenomenon with a silver tongue:
"I don't understand why it is that people wear baggy pants. Soviet leaders used to wear them in the 1950s, but then they wised up, got Italian suits and looked pretty spiffy. Today, young men wear baggy pants all the time. I think that they must have a disease, perhaps testicular elephantiasis."
Thanks to Rachael McMillan for the e-mail.

Busy As A...
As most Columbia students struggle to remember which shirt they wore to 1020 last Saturday night so that they'll know not to wear it this Thursday, first-year Bee Shaffer, scion of legendary Vogue editor Anna Wintour, has her sights set on something higher: the Met's swanky Costume Institute Ball. And another thing, dearer to Bwog's heart: a career in journalism?
In the Telegraph, she polls various fashion insiders (read: mom's mah-jongg buddies) about how to prepare for any glitzy event that requires any sort of bodily movement beyond minimal breathing.
All well and good for a certain crowd. But as for Bwog, we're hoping she'll settle once and for all the Great New Balance vs. Converse Debate. What say you, Miss Shaffer?

File Under: You Missed It
There was a Target photoshoot today in front of John Jay. The models were really skinny and pretending to be intellectuals for the camera by reading the Spec. We tried to run out with some copies of the Blue & White but, alas, were too late.

99 Ways to Please a Fashion Editor
B&W Fasionista Josie Swindler reports on the latest from the Lecture Hopping front:
At Parsons, the audience of wannabe fashion editors was a whole lot more stylish than the five editors on a recent panel called "Fashion Magazines: Behind the Seams." Lesson one: it takes more than nice hair to get a corner office at Condé Nast.
The problem of the panel may have been the relative ignorance of its members. Though highly successful, the editors aren't in the most coveted fashion positions at the most coveted fashion magazines, probably disappointing most of the audience members. What they could teach, involuntarily, is that talented people can be talented anywhere and that the people who make the magazine are rarely like the people the magazine is made for.
A big room was mostly full with more than 100 hopefuls. They heard from the art director at Glamour, the creative director at Marie Claire, the style editor at GQ, and the managing editor of Lucky, all moderated by the executive editor of Redbook.

This is Tragic on So Many Levels
Andrew Stinger reports:
For any fans of 'America's Next Top Model' or of beautiful women, KAHLEN from Season 4 (the runner-up) is now a BARTENDER at Nacho's. She's training on Thursday.
This information comes courtesy of the cool bartender last night during a "love sucks" toast.

Breaking News: Asian Fetishists Stage Rambunctious Soiree in Kent
Kent has apparently turned into some sort of EALAC consortium night club for this eve of February. There were grad student types lounging around in the library. On the elongated table that runs the length of the room were empty containers of take-out (possibly Chinese) and people dancing. Yes, that's right, adults were dancing on tables in the Kent library. Maybe they were escaping the hideous blizzard, maybe they were anticipating a grad student strike, who knows. I witnessed revelry and too many dark, square-framed glasses to count.
