Hey guys! All That's Ashley here (that's me!) to answer this week’s tweens pressing issues.

Alex Mack used to be just an ordinary teenage girl, living with her parents and older sister in Paradise Valley.

The go-to shop for all the hippest ladies, Claire’s is a longtime favorite for adding spunk to our step.

My Favorite Movie Ever
Oh my god, this movie is so awesome! Loves it! That guy Preston is, like, tres sexy! And the way he professes his love for the popular girl Amanda at the end?
Guilty Pleasures: Great Expectations (1998)
Usually movies based on books are boring, sad or both (The Horse Whisperer, anyone?), but Great Expectations is so much different.

OMG², Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are like the luckiest girls ever! They get to travel the world, hang out with famous grown-ups and make their own movies.
From the Editor: 12.3.09
This is my last editor’s letter. Ever. Even though Street is printing next week, by then the new board will have taken over and I will be completely washed up.
Military-Academic Complex
The Pentagon permeates everyday life in America. Its influence, along with that of the 15 U.S. intelligence agencies, is almost everywhere.
Take a Break From Reality
If you need a study break, your first thought might not be to go see a musical. But even if you’re not a Glee devotee, or a closet fan of High School Musical, there’s something undeniably heartwarming about seeing a cast of characters unrealistically break into song — especially live.
Just Bead It
If you’re a really ambitious crafter, you can buy wire, beads and pliers at a craft store to create earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces for the women in your life.
DIY Gifts That Don't Break the Bank
How to: Make a personalized shot glass... Step 1: Buy a shot glass and several tubes of paint (or paint pens). We found a set of six shot glasses (along with a handy decanter) at the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College’s gift shop ($11.99) and two tubes of fluorescent paint from Urban Outfitters ($8). Step 2: Decorate the shot glass with artistic flourishes or pithy sayings. Step 3: Let the painted glass dry for 24 hours. Step 4: Bake the shot glass in the oven for 40 minutes.
Study Jams
Math/Science: Trip Hop A number of us at Penn agree: math and science can be scary.
Defibrillator: Oklahoma! by Rogers and Hammerstein (1955)
Musicals are the worst. Nothing makes me want to dish out wedgies like a Broadway showstopper. Road trips are great, though — so great that they can make things like Roy Rogers and show tunes digestible. Every summer, my family drives 10 hours to visit my grandparents in Maine.
One Track Mind: 12.3.09
Vampire Weekend, “Cousins” Hear the first several iterations of “hey hey” in the beginning of “Cousins,” the new track from Vampire Weekend's forthcoming Contra, and you may be reminded of something very familiar: the band’s last album.
Monster of Pop
At first glance, Lady Gaga’s most recent release, The Fame Monster, looks like a typical moneymaking B-sides release attached at the hip to her debut hit-machine, The Fame. But don’t be fooled.
Ego of the Week: Joe Luchtan
Street: Who would win in a celebrity tag-team match between the UA/Class Boards and SAE/IFC? Joe Luchtan: Sadly, it’d be a stalemate.
My Blackest Friday
I’ll admit it: I love Black Friday. Not for the deals, although they can be quite impressive. In my family, Black Friday is an adventure in retail.
Get Your Om On
If you’re ever walking past Distrito, glance up through the glass windows. There you will find a fleet of yogis, decked out in Lululemon and lycra, flipping their dogs.
