For many “mom lifestyle” influencers, there are content hallmarks that their audiences expect to see: workout clothes, kale smoothies, anti–aging moisturizers, and a cute toddler roaming around the back of the frame. For some mommy bloggers, their child is the centerpiece of a marketing machine; however, for others, their kids are only an add–on to a pre–established aesthetic.

Maybe it’s the highly dramatic acting that feels almost mimed at times, or maybe it’s the flamboyant clothing sported by Lily Collins’ character, but whatever it is, the fact remains that Emily in Paris is a show that, while highly entertaining, is usually laughable. Ask someone if they’ve watched the Netflix original series, and they’ll almost certainly roll their eyes and laugh, indicating their dislike for the cheesy program.

When Devi Bass (C ‘23) decided to retire from middle school acting, she was eager to find another way to get involved in theater. She began by helping out with sound for her high school’s Cabaret and immediately fell in love with this behind–the–scenes role. Excited to continue pursuing theater, Devi found a home in Penn’s theater program when she joined Penn Players for their production of Urine Town. Now, as chair of the Theatre Arts Council, she oversees all seven theater groups at Penn. As a political science major, Devi realized that her interests in political science and theater are not mutually exclusive. Rather, she hopes to combine them and produce shows that make an impact.

Sitting down to write this letter feels kind of like entering the Avatar State. No, not that Avatar. Not the new one either. I’m talking about that generation–defining (and vastly better!) animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Pretty much, our reincarnated protagonist can call upon the skills and knowledge of all his previous selves, pictured as an line of blue spirits stretching out to the middle distance. In my lineage, there’s Emily and Bea looking over my shoulder, then Tamsyn, Annabelle, and before them the predecessors I know only by name—Nick Joyner, Orly Greenberg, Emily Johns.

I walk through the air–conditioned corridors of the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), appreciating oil paintings in golden frames and white marble statues. Suddenly, I am stuck by a bright yellow poster, “Do women have to be naked to get into the São Paulo Museum of Art?”

Despite having been painted more than 150 years ago, Édouard Manet’s Olympia continues to resonate throughout the art world. In 1865, the painting debuted in Paris’ prestigious Salon, controlled by the French Academy of Fine Arts, immediately scandalizing the scene. The work subversively approached the reclining female nude with its daring technical, stylistic, and thematic choices. While she was created by a man, Olympia has consequently joined the ranks of groundbreaking and influential women, both in the art world and beyond.

‘Songs About Sex’ are prolific enough to get their own category in "Pitch Perfect” Riff Offs. Think of any list of popular songs from the last 50 years and at least 25% of it will be about intercourse in some capacity.

Songs that truly feel orgasmic often contain either a moody, sensual beat or a soaring climax, whether the lyrics are about the rawness of sex or not. Anything can set you in the mood if the feeling’s right.
