'MoCo Goes Hollywood' exhibit opens

·

Red carpet rolled out at the building's entrance and the smell of popcorn wafted through the air, greeting the attendees Friday evening. After walking up the stairs, guests could get a photograph with actress and singer Liza Minnelli or the Invisible Man from the Abbott and Costello movies. Visitors were not attending a movie premiere, however, but the grand opening of the exhibit "Lights! Camera! Action! MoCo Goes Hollywood!," now on display at the Monroe County History Center.

Rethinking Tattoos

·

I'd never given body art much thought. It seemed like a dangerous, rigid culture, in which I -- a Catholic-schooled, perpetually optimistic small-town girl -- had no place. As a little girl, when media formed my opinions on essentially everything, I took in the large, inked convicts I saw on "Cops" with wonder and fear. Later, with years of life experience and a media-literate mind, I viewed the "tatted" as interesting, artsy folk with whom I had little in common.

IU folk dancing fosters togetherness, tells stories

The gift of music

Though Jacobs School of Music student Georgina Joshi was killed in a plane crash last April, her parents hope her memory will live on through a donation to the music school. Louise Addicot and Yatish Joshi of South Bend made a special trip to Hamburg, Germany, in December to select a Steinway concert grand piano in memory of Georgina.

About face

Linda Pisano has powdered the nose of Satan himself. In 2005, Pisano, head of costume and design of IU's Department of Theatre and Drama, designed the costumes for a production of Christopher Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus." She transformed the already 6-foot-4 actor playing the devil into a 7-foot-tall bruised corpse with bat-like wings that spanned 12 feet.
