Fully Exposed

By Katie Ingmire · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 12:50 a.m.

A tall, slender woman leans forward and firmly grasps the metal attachment on the canister of a vacuum cleaner with both hands. She places the attachment underneath a small, rectangular table, sucking up whatever dust remains on the gleaming tile floor. This description could conjure up images of a Dirt Devil advertisement if it were not for one element: Besides a pair of high heels and a garter belt to hold up her sheer stockings, the woman is entirely nude.

Saxophonist has no need to toot her own horn

By Katie Ingmire · Tuesday, Jan. 9,2007 9:02 p.m.

IU doctoral student Stacy Wilson's office is indistinct. Only posters of saxophonists lining the walls and a CD player on a table distinguish it from any of the music practice rooms on campus. After hearing the melodious strains of Wilson's alto saxophone emerge from this room, however, one realizes that this office is not a place of mediocrity -- it's a hub of greatness.

Fashion hookers and retail pimps

By Teri Rosenbaum · Sunday, Jan. 7,2007 10:04 p.m.

Lately, big-time designers have been whoring themselves out to the mass consumer market. But I mean "whoring" in a respectable way -- think less of the stiletto boot-sporting streetwalker type and more of the Chanel-sporting "lady of the night" type. But everyone knows a ho ain't complete without her pimp. In this case H&M and Target are the backers behind this slutty endeavor. And now they're rolling on 20-inch rims (big pimpin', spending G's).

Fabric surrounds Justin Stutzman. A fifth-year senior, Stutzman is one of six students in IU's individualized major program in fashion design. The runway show for his senior line isn't until March 24, but he works tirelessly, as if it's tomorrow. It's hard to succeed in the fashion industry, he says, and with a recent flood of "wannabe" designers applying to fashion schools, including IU, it's only going to get harder.
