In which the word “Sexy”- as in, with a capital “s”- is employed to great effect
Hipster artist superstar (no, really) in our midst
$170 for a gift for Mom? Whatever happened to a handprint with a poem?
We’ve all seen the posters, now here’s the straight dope on Holiday Wonders

@DHI An interesting article.
Seeing as it was written by someone named “Bee,” I was expecting something more along the lines of “Get them a cereal with a big taste. Honeycomb’s big, yeah yeah yeah. It’s not small, no no no” which would not actually be a bad gift idea.
@Sprinkles How about a gift guide that gives suggestions we can actually work with? Student publications are supposed to appeal to students, not investment bankers.
@C'mon Stop being so melodramtic. $200 will buy you three top ramen meals and a piece of fruit each day for the entire semester.
@DHI It can’t buy that and also the gifts though.
@Anonymous Did no one read the introduction? It says think of the expensive gifts as inspiration–not go buy them!
@Bliss Spa ooh lala i currently have $200 in my bank account…i guess i’ll just give up eating next semester so that i can afford all of these gifts for friends and family. at least i’ll then be thin enough to be in vogue.
@truly I love – LOVE – the chutzphah in suggesting that students buy a recommendation-writing professor a $890 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary set.
@Anonymous The Eye has lost even more credibility by knocking Little Miss Sunshine and telling students to order $500 gifts for their parents.
@what ever happened to “la pagina”?
@la pagina Alive and well. It comes out on Fridays, but it’s not inserted in every paper–it’s put in the blue boxes on the street.
@gowb That is Christina Grammenos, racists.
Why can’t bwog readers afford a 1300 dollar scarf? How will this site ever convince advertisers of its viability if it can’t assemble a respectably earning readership?
@courtney love I think the Eye has presented a very balanced Gift Guide.
@Actually It is not “Topanga.” It is a Barnard junior.
@oh my god that is topanga
@... like college students can really afford a $1300 scarf from bergdorfs
@I think that some students can. But the eye isn’t mean to be read by real people, anyway.
@wow bee shaffer finally did something for the eye. perhaps mother will be proud.
@buah! Whhy is Topanga on the cover of the Eye?
@Not to mention That Columbia students already get free admission to MoMA, so a membership is kind of pointless unless you’re dating an NYU kid.
