Tuesday night, the Monroe County Civic Theater’s production of “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” premiered at The Cinemat, 123 S.

By Ryan Brown · Wednesday, Oct. 24,2007 11:09 p.m.

The first time I heard those enchanting lyrics, “Watch me crank dat Soulja Boy, then Superman dat ho,” I was drawn to an obvious conclusion that a lot of us see about modern rap – that it is self-righteous, nihilistic and misogynistic. But for a reason I couldn’t explain at the time the song was first released, I downloaded the song and couldn’t stop listening to it, often closing the curtains in order to perfect the moves that go along with Soulja Boy’s smash hit.

There are millions of types of jeans in the world. Skinny, boot cut, wide leg, dark wash, low rise, high waist – what is a girl to do? Finding a pair of trendy jeans in the right cut and wash is nearly impossible. This season though, straying away from their normal strictly one-cut-of-jean idea, designers have chosen two very different cuts for us, the general public, to choose from.
