spices up and individualizes the
look. Alena Zweben, the manager of
Ipnosi, at 1022 Willamette St., also
suggests finding perfectly matching
tops and skirts to complete the style.
"I think what's unique for the
summer right now is two-piece en
sembles," Zweben said. "As far as
my inventory goes, we've been see
ing lots of skirts and tops that match.
That's something we haven't really
seen in the past."
Another new lookforthis summer
is straight, knee-length shorts,
known as Bermuda shorts. Although
they are the opposite of the bohemi
an look, Hubbert and Zweben both
agree thatthey are definitely a
trendy item for the sweltering days
of summer.
"Bermuda shorts are really hotfor
summer," Hubbert said. "The stylish
length is about down to the knee. I
think everything was so shortfor so
many years, stuff just got a little
more conservative and classy, going
back to the 1940s. We've seen a lot
of more preppy looks in than past
summers. The style is very bohemi
an, but atthe same time, a lot of
people are also doing very preppy
looks with collars and very classic,
tailored lines."
Bright colors and patterns are
also finding their ways onto the cat
walks all over the world and to the
stores right in Eugene.
"Green is in again, which is funny
because it's been around for almost
a complete year now," Hubbert said.
"Anything bright, or patterns like flo
ral, are really big. Bright yellows
with white, which are very clean and
crisp, are in."
Zweben agrees.
"Pastels are really in, but so are a
lot of bright, vibrant colors," she
said.
No look would be complete with
out the right shoes. This summer, the
must-have trend for the foot is defi
nitely the wedge, which looks hot
with just about everything, including
Capris, Bermuda shorts and the bo
hemian skirts. From wedges with
straps that lace up your calf to
chunky ones covered in intricate
jewel designs, the wedge has beat
out the classic flip-flop and the
painful, yet gorgeous stiletto for the
No. 1 shoe style of the summer.
But don'tforget about jewelry,
which can make or break any outfit.
This summer, look for lots of color,
and make it chunky.
"Big, funky earrings are in. Chan
delier earrings are a little past, but
something big, chunky and notice
able is hot," Zweben said. "I would
go with the big, funky earrings. I al
ways get compliments when I'm
rocking those."

Nyburg: Those with flair for
the written word go hungry
Continued from page 5
back from my work as a critic and
actually published a work of art (ad
mittedly the merits of which, at least
on my end, I believe are debatable).
Though I have written reams of short
stories, essays and other bits of
writerly detritus, I've never actually
had anything published in any form,
outside of journalism.
And because I spend so much
time criticizing the works of others, I
find the prospect of my own work
being put forth for criticism to be ab
solutely terrifying. Hence my self
depreciation. It's a defense mecha
nism to shield me from the windfall
of failure.
But enough self-analysis. I have
now entered the cultural fray and
will be judged accordingly. I’m al
ready at work on another script for
the same filmmaker, and I might
have a third done before the summer
is over. Fun, fun in the sun.
So where doesthis leave me? I'm
still nottoo sure what I'm going to end
up doing with my life; I know journalism
will only play a supporting role,
despite past enthusiasm. I could
write a million cheesy horror films,
but I don't think that this would be a
productive area of work. Anyway,
entering the hallowed ranks of
American screenwriters is a rather
ignoble honor.
Deciding whether I want to spend
more time writing art or writing
about art has been difficult, and I re
ally haven't made up my mind. I
could just end up working at a Holly
wood Video for the rest of my life,
though I think that would be a waste
of an education.
It's interesting to leave college
and want nothing more than to work
a menial job so that I have time to
read, write and hang out with my
woman. Cursed are those with a
flare for the written word, for their
hobby will keep them forever impov
erished. But what the hell? I've got
nothing better to do than start a ca
reer and get on with my life. Might as
well enjoy youth and a high thresh
old for hunger while I still can.
