sophomore in pre-business
The best thing to do in Ames on the weekend is: Anything — as long as there’s loud music and cool people. I’m excited for a Friday night. My ideal date night would be: A dinner date to a nice restaurant or going to a fun club. Anything where we can get dressed up and I can show her off. My go-to outfit for class is: Jeans and new shoes. I like that “first day of school” feeling. If I’m hitting the town, you’ll see me in: Jackets and T’s. The best type of food is: Either Thai or Mexican. You can’t really go wrong either way. The cologne I swear by is: Versace Pour Homme.

Consignment Stores More Than Everyday Wear By Hanna Johansen, Daily Staff Writer
Consignment stores are a great place to get fashionable clothing at an affordable price. With a wide variety of sizes and selections, it is easy to find the perfect piece to complete an outfit. Consignment stores are not only a great place to find casual wear, but to access clothing for special occasions and costume wear.
occasion, but it can also put a dent in your wallet quickly if you aren’t careful. Between makeup, attire, wigs, masks, shoes, etc., your bill is likely to scare you if you aren’t budget conscious.
Business attire
“Getting your costume at a consignment shop will ensure that your outfit is unique, because no one else will have it,” said Jenny Stites, employee of Random Goods.
Business recruiters expect applicants to bring their A-game to interviews. This includes attire, even if you are on a college student’s budget. A quick fix to this obstacle is to shop at consignment locations.

Miss Meyer’s, a consignment store located off Main Street here in Ames, has a wide variety of blazers, slacks and pumps in top-notch condition.
Random Goods is a great new consignment shop in Ames located in Campus Town that has tons of costume selections.
Special occasions
Have a wedding or formal you need a dress for, but don’t want to throw down the cash? The Loft is a great place to check if you are in search of a fancy dress or nice pants.
“When you are first getting started in the workforce, perusing consignment stores is a great way to get quality brands in like-new condition without having to pay top dollar,” said Katherine Kerns of Miss Meyer’s.
“The Loft takes great care selecting items. We check for snags, rips, working zippers, the works, so the formal wear we carry is in excellent condition,” said Tiffany Walker, manager of The Loft.
“Consignment shops are a great way to get pieces when you are just getting started in the workforce and don’t have a lot of money to spend, but still want that professional look,” Kerns said.

Are you Miss Meyer? Miss Meyer is a stylish, independent woman who knows what she wants. She’s fashionable without being tacky-trendy, heading to the chic consignment shop with savvy confidence.

London Underground 212 Main St., Ames
A red telephone booth shipped from Boston adds an electrical focal point for photos and romantic kisses.
Jess Clyde’s bar, London Underground, has been his passion since a trip overseas helped him realize what he wanted to do with his life - bring an English Pub to the city he loves.
Test your skills on our pinball machines!
The bar is clean, the bartenders intelligent and the conversation stimulating. The warm wooded interior, red phone booth, and signature banners provide London Underground with a feel of English authenticity. A great selection of import beer and mid to high range liquor keeps a steady stream of loyal customers coming in all week. For those seeking entertainment, the bar is known for its heated foosball matches, pinball machines and sizeable jukebox selection. And yet, the bar’s strongest asset may be the eclectic mix of patrons and lively conversations the bar attracts. London Underground originally opened without a sign and quickly drew in a crowd as unique as its black facade and bright red door. Clyde, an Ames native, wanted to bring people from all walks of life together in the spirit of a true tavern. He intentionally left televisions out of the pub with the idea that conversations and one-of-a-kindexperiences would be facilitated with fewer distractions. “A bar is only as good as the people that come to it,” Clyde said. Assuming that is true, London Underground is a stimulating English drinking establishment for people of all walks of life. Cheers!
London Underground carries over 75 import and craft beers, with a rotating selection, and a “Beer of the Month.”
Make it a night she’ll never forget!

WHOOPS

first date
horror
stories
I went on a first date with a guy and he took me to “Marley and Me.” I was completely oblivious to what happened in the end and thought it was just an anecdotal story about a man and his dog. But when it came to have Marley put down (having just put my family dog/best friend down a year prior), I did this ugly, full-body sob. He never called or texted me back again. :/
My boyfriend and I were going on our first date at a local snowboarding place. I had never snowboarded before and he thought it would be fun to spend the day on the slopes and teach me how to snowboard. We spent the first part of the day on the “bunny hill” and after a few hours, I was ready for the big slopes. We went down those a few times, and being a young, stupid teenager, I decided I would try and show off and go down a jump. Before my boyfriend could stop me, I was speeding down the mountain. I hit the 6-foot jump full speed and did a half back flip in the air. I came crashing to the ground. My boyfriend came rushing over and flagged down the medics ... I ended up breaking my shoulder.

Themed Parties shake up your social life By Laura Bucklin, Daily Staff Writer
Dollar party – Everyone comes to the party with a dollar. Partygoers can dare others to do something crazy to win their dollar. By the end of the night, you can win quite a bit of money. It’s basically a big night of truth or dare ... minus the truth.
Beach party – Put the
WTF party – Wear the craziest thing you can find. The goal of this party is to have people yell “What the F**k” when you walk into the door. No-service party – No shoes, no shirt, no service, therefore, partygoers can’t wear shoes or a shirt. This is their chance to get creative with their wardrobe.
Stoplight party – At this party, single people wear green, people wearing yellow are “it’s complicated,” and red are taken. Maybe by the end of the night these colors will need to be changed. Walk-of-shame party – Come looking like you do when you’re doing the walk of shame. Those who actually do the “walk of shame” the next day will look that much better. It-used-to-be-cool party – Wear anything retro. Time to dig out the fannypack!
Rubix Cube party – Come to the party wearing a bunch of colors. Ideally, you’ll want colors that are on a Rubix Cube (red, orange, white, blue, green and yellow). Throughout the night, switch clothes with friends. By the end of the night, you should be wearing one color. Kegs and eggs – Wear your pajamas and stay up until you’re ready to have breakfast. It’s perfect because you’re ready to pass out after.

Austin Henshaw (and Serious Davenport) – Senior Favorite themed party: Around-the-world party “It’s a great way to meet people, appreciate human differences and try drinks from around the world.”

Ponytail — Then simply put your hair in a ponytail. 4. Velcro roller — Next, take a Velcro hair roller that is about the width of your ponytail and stick your ponytail through until the roller is around the top of your ponytail. 5. Wrap — Take a section of your hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the roller. Make sure you’re covering the roller so you can’t see it.

iron the hair, but try to leave some of the texture in from the day look’s mini-crimping. 3. Kevin Murphy threebarrel wave clip — Use a couple of Kevin Murphy wave clips to set the top portion of the hair. Leave in for a couple of minutes. 4. Three-barrel iron —
While the wave clips are setting, start using a threebarrel iron on the bottom portion of the hair. The three-barrel iron is really in right now because it’s like a crimp, but it leaves more of an “S” shape. “Using it as an accent all over creates a really cool look,” Hubby said.

CHALLENGES In Ames

— Wing Challenges —

Stars Over Veishea: Rent April 13-22
Ames offers wing challenges for lovers of all things buffalo. Since its opening in March, Buffalo Wild Wings has already had approximately 70 people complete its Blazin’ Challenge. Participants have six minutes to eat 12 “Blazin” wings, which is Buffalo Wild Wings’ hottest sauce. “About 75 percent [of the] people who try it complete it,” said Bryant Arns, general manager at Buffalo Wild Wings in Ames. Participants are not allowed to drink anything or use dipping sauce. Winners get their picture up on a digital loop within the store, and they win a T-shirt. “The record here is 12 wings in 36 seconds,” Arns said. “I witnessed it with my own eyes. It was crazy.” West Cyde Wings also has a wing challenge called the Inferno Challenge. Participants get 10 minutes and one glass of water to eat 20 of West Cyde Wings’ “inferno” wings, which are the hottest they offer. Winners get their picture up on the wall. “We like to think they’re the hottest wings around, because we have some ghost chiles,” said Mike Anderson, a manager of West Cyde Wings. “I haven’t seen anyone do [the challenge] without sweating.”
— Margarita Challenges —
For more information visit www.theatre.iastate.edu, e-mail isutheatre@iastate.edu, or call (515) 294-2624 Funded by GSB
There are also a few margarita challenges throughout the Ames community. La Fuente has its margarita challenge on Fridays and Saturdays each week. Participants have to drink two monster margaritas, and if they finish them they get a free T-shirt. “We’ve been doing this for 15 years here and we’ve had a great time doing it,” said Benita Tilli, manager at La Fuente, “We’re just a family restaurant that is a fun place to be.”
El Patron offers a similar challenge. Participants have to finish two 48 oz. margaritas any day of the week. Winners get a free T-shirt and can use their win toward one punch on their El Patron drink punch card. Both restaurants offer you as much time as you’d like to finish the margaritas, but you can’t share. “It’s fun and people like it,” said Martin Morales, owner of El Patron. “It’s funny, because girls always finish their drinks before boys.” So now, boys have two challenges — to finish the margaritas at La Fuente and El Patron, and to beat the girls doing it. Good luck.
— Old Chicago’s World Beer Tour —
Arrive in Style.
Beer lovers are in for a treat, because Old Chicago offers the challenge of all challenges — the Old Chicago World Beer Tour. The World Beer Tour is not only a challenge in itself, but it’s also an awesome loyalty and rewards program. Why not be rewarded for drinking a lot of beer? The goal of the World Beer Tour is to drink 110 different beers. Those who complete the tour get a nice gray sweatshirt, their name in the “Hall of Foam,” other prizes and rewards throughout the process and bragging rights. “The World Beer Tour promotes what Old Chicago is all about, which is variety,” said Corey Kewatt, general manager of Ames’ Old Chicago. “We believe people order the same drinks at other restaurants because it’s convenient. Coming here is the opposite. People come here to try something new.”

“A guy from Colorado finished his 200th tour, and he was a huge Cubs fan, so Old Chicago flew him to the Cubs’ training,” Kewatt said. “And he got to throw the first pitch at one of their games.” Therefore, if you like beer, variety and prizes, then Old Chicago’s World Beer Tour is the challenge for you. Visit the Ames Old Chicago or its website for more details on the tour. “If you’re going to go somewhere to drink beer, you might as well have fun with it,” Kewatt said.

Participants are given an electronic World Beer Tour card that tracks every beer they drink at any Old Chicago location. The tour doesn’t stop after the 110th beer, though. The more tours you do, the more rewards and prizes you get. For example, after someone is done with his or her 10th tour, Old Chicago gives you a 25 oz. pewter mug with his or her name engraved on it. They also keep it at the restaurant so it’s ready every time you come in.

drink this...
...not that!
It’s finally Friday (cue Rebecca Black) and you are ready to enjoy the weekend. Maybe you are going to hit up happy hour or just sit back at home and mix up your favorite cocktail. Regardless of where you plan to spend your evening, danger lurks ahead.
Alcoholic beverages can do serious damage to your diet. Not only do consumers often forget how many calories are in the drinks they are slurping down, drinking can also lead to binge eating due to a drop in blood sugar levels and loss of self control. Don’t let this diet disaster put a damper on your evening. With some careful planning, you can still enjoy your night without exceeding your calorie intake for the entire weekend.

BEER Other than Trailer Choir, there aren’t many supporters of those who “rock the beer gut.” This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a few cold brews with friends. It just means individuals who choose to indulge in this beverage need to be more conscious of how much, and of what, beer they decide to guzzle. “There are a few good low-calorie beers on the market,” said Rarvinder Singh of AJ’s Market. “Most of the girls around here tend to purchase MGD 64 or Miller Select 55,” Singh said.
drink this... With only 64 calories per 12 ounces, MGD Light is the lowest light beer on the market. Pabst Extra Light Low is another good choice when trying to keep calories count low with only 67 calories per 12 ounces.
...not that Dark beers such as Anchor Porter, with 209 calories per 12 ounces, and McEwans Scottish Ale, with an astounding 295 calories per 12 ounces, should be avoided.
WINE Many health specialists and wine connoisseurs believe
that a glass or two of wine a day is actually good for your health. Just remember, too much of one thing is never a good thing, and wine can still lead to weight gain. One problem with wine is that many countries do not require manufacturers to disclose health information, so counting calories in wine can be tricky. One way to determine the amount of calories is to check the alcohol content, which is listed on the label. It’s safe to presume that the higher the alcohol content, the more calories present.
drink this... Light wines such as white zinfandels are always a good choice, most with only 80 calories per 4-ounce glass. Chablis and chardonnay are also good options, both with around 90 calories per 4-ounce glass. ...not that Wines to avoid while being calorie-conscious are sweet dessert wines. With around 185 calories per 4-ounce glass, wines such as Ports are the highest in calories.
LIQUOR & MIXED DRINKS As with wines, most liquor bottles do not list health information, so determining the calorie count is also determined by examining the alcohol content. An average ounce of brandy, whiskey or vodka with 50 percent alcohol contains around 82 calories. Now this isn’t so bad, but when you start mixing liquors and adding other ingredients, the calorie count begins to soar. A recent launch of low calorie or “skinny” liquors and premixed drinks have become popular with those watching their figure. New products include Chi Chi’s Skinny Margarita, 95 calories per 4 ounces, and Firefly’s Skinny Tea Vodka, only 72 calories per 1.5 fluid ounces, are both good options. Both these new items use the same recipes as the originals, but substitute sugar for natural sweeteners such as agave nectar and Truvia, which is made from a naturally sweet herb.
drink this... If none of the options above seem enticing, simple drinks that require low calorie mixers such as vodka cranberries or screwdrivers, vodka and orange juice, are great go-to drinks.
...not that Cocktails that combine multiple liquors or use sweet liqueurs should be avoided. A 10-ounce Long Island Iced Tea will cost you a whopping 543 calories of your daily total, which is a few calories more than a McDonald’s Big Mac® sandwich.
