Trustee upset with UK Board Conflict over access to information By Rachel Aretakis raretakis@kykernel.com
Conflicting views over whether or not a UK Board of Trustees member was given certain information were discussed Monday in a Lexington Herald-Leader Op-Ed. Irina Voro, faculty trustee and music professor, submitted the Op-Ed, “Stonewalling data request bad for UK,” to the Herald-Leader on Oct. 21, which focused on UK’s denial of administrator information to her. When the Herald-Leader confirmed the statement with UK Spokseman Jay Blanton that she wasn’t given the information, Blanton wrote in an email to the paper, “it is simply false that she did not get this info.” He requested that “any assertion she has made to the contrary be taken out of her Op-Ed, or if it is the focus of the Op-Ed I would ask that it not be run because it is false.” Voro requested information about UK’s number of administrators on Sept. 28. She emailed Kim Wilson, the vice president of human resources, wanting to know the various ranks of administrators to discuss at the Board of Trustee retreat, which was held on Oct. 1- 2. Voro said Wilson responded (with what Voro considers a “permission slip”) that she needed to verify the information with Board Chair Britt Brockman before Wilson could give the information to Voro. In an email to the Kernel, Blanton said after he was informed about the opinion submission, he “verified the fact that Dr. Voro had been responded to and provided information.” “I respectfully asked the HeraldLeader in an email to delete any misstatements or factual errors,” Blanton said. “That is no different than how I would proceed with another reporter at the Herald or reporters and editors at other publications, if asked about the accuracy of a news story or about specific points of fact in an opinion submission.” A summary of the information Voro See TRUSTEE on page 3
Candidates for lt. gov. square off By Chase Sanders csanders@kykernel.com
Thursday evening, the three candidates for lieutenant governor in the state of Kentucky participated in a debate in Lexington’s KET studios. The candidates each presented their arguments for why they feel they are best suited for the position. Each of the candidates discussed issues including tourism enhancement, jobs and agriculture in Kentucky. Only one of the candidates, Richie Farmer, who is running with Republican David Williams, has experience as a state official in the lieutenant governor’s bracket in the election. “I think the fact that I’ve run the department of agriculture for the last eight years is beneficial,” he said during the debate. “I understand the differences between the different geographical areas in Kentucky like Eastern, Western and Northern Kentucky.” Jerry Abramson, the former mayor of Louisville and running mate for Democratic incumbent Gov. Steve Beshear, said he believes his experience with local government will help him if Beshear is reelected. “I would focus in economic development, keeping kids in college and workSee DEBATE on page 2

Doctor’s Panel gives inside advice By Taylor Riley news@kykernel.com
In college, many topics arise that might be uncomfortable to discuss with family. The Center for Community Outreach’s Education & Advocacy Department will present a Doctor’s Panel on Tuesday to answer students’ health questions. Four UK health professionals will inform students on sex education, healthy eating and fitness, psychology disorders, and general
health and wellness, said Allie Coop, the event coordinator. Coop said this is the first year the CCO has had the program. “I think it’s a really good idea because health promotion can lead to healthy lifestyles,” Hanna Wagner, a nursing student, said. The event is based on the hit television show, “The Doctors,” starring fitness guru Jillian Michaels and Dr. Travis Stork, who answer audience member’s questions regarding health concerns.
“I always watch the show and I think it’s great they are setting up a localized version at UK,” Anah Switzer, a biology student, said. “If I knew how to fight sleep deprivation and how to deal with the stresses of college my freshman year, there would have been a lot less sleepless nights.” The doctor’s panel will discuss many issues affecting young people in college, including relationships and avoiding the “freshman 15.” A question and answer portion
will take place after the lecture. The Doctor’s Panel will be held Tuesday at 4 p.m. in room 111 of the Student Center.

Architecture professor’s exhibit opens By Joy Priest jpriest@kykernel.com
One UK professor feels artists should never stay in one lane. Mark O’Bryan, associate dean for design in the College of Architecture, is a painter, a sketcher and a photographer, but all of those crafts contribute to his ultimate design process and dream as an architect. Monday night saw the opening of his exhibit “The World Dwelling” in the Rasdall Gallery, which showcased his paintings, sketches, models and existing work, with some pieces dating back to his thesis project at Cornell University in the 1980s.

Laettner shines in role as villain Twenty years ago, Christian Laettner brought Big Blue Nation to tears. Monday night at Rupp Arena, Laettner earned lusty boos, uproarious laughter and ultimately cheers from the crowd in his role of head coach for the Villains, who defeated the Big Blue LES All-Stars 152-149.

disdain for the likes of North Carolina’s Tyler Hansbrough and Louisville’s Terrance Williams, but it saved its loudest boos for the man who broke hearts 20 years ago. “I had butterflies before I walked out the first time,” Laettner said, “but it wasn’t as vicious as I thought it would be.” Laettner embraced his role as the lead villain at the event. “There’s nothing wrong with booing, yelling and cursing someone every once in awhile,” Laettner said, “and if I happen to be that person to let them vent, then that’s perfectly fine.”
enough to promote itself,” Riley said. “This is right up my alley. Kentucky is beautiful and the resources here need to be highlighted over the world. We need to have a public-private sector partnership to accomplish those goals. We should not be totally dependent on the budget.” In particular, the lieutenant governor candidates voiced their opinions about what they would like to do with Lake Cumberland. “We used to have the best parks system in the country,” Abramson said. “It is a great source for economic develop-
Laettner turned the boos into laughter late in the evening after taking some advice from some fans.

ing in the charity exhibition game, another wet spot was conveniently located on the playing surface, and Laettner decided to get on all fours and clean up the mess. Laettner took a white towel to the Rupp Arena floor for a couple of minutes.The sight of Laettner on his knees cleaning the Rupp Arena floor brought out the laughter — and the cameras. “Hopefully they’re Facebooking it and Twittering it and all that stuff,” Laettner said of the self-deprecating moment.

ment. That is an area that has not gotten the funding it deserves as the legislature has met.” Farmer also discussed Lake Cumberland. “I absolutely don’t think enough has been done to promote Lake Cumberland,” he said. “We need to do more to promote tourism in Kentucky in general.” Debate over how to solve the jobs and tax problems took up a large portion of the hour- long dialogue. “The issue is quality jobs,” Abramson said. “The quality of life issue plays a

role. You don’t just work on creating the job, you work on the education so students are prepared to enter the workforce after they graduate.” Farmer disagreed with Abramson’s suggestion that Kentucky is currently a place any company would like to bring jobs to. “You cannot do anything anywhere when you are taxing people out of business,” Farmer said. “Unemployment has risen, and we have to create an environment where we can attract business to the state.” Abramson rebutted Farmer on his position that tax reform is immediately “necessary” in the state to attract jobs and keep the finest workers in Kentucky and pointed out that the state “was ranked 19th in the nation for having a businessfriendly tax system by the National Tax Foundation.” “When you change the tax code you will always

It wasn’t but a couple of minutes later that Laettner sent the Rupp Crowd roaring with a non-so-subtly choreographed double-technical-foul ejection. As Laettner left the Rupp Arena floor, he left with the fans on their feet. Some fans still jeered him — many others cheered. When asked about his seeing “the shot” from 1992 that eliminated UK and propelled Duke to the National Title repeatedly, Laettner said, “I feel great. I get tickled inside and I can’t believe it’s such a part of our sports culture.” “I don’t need the Kentucky fan to say ‘I love him’ or ‘I hate him,’ I just was them to say ‘I respect the game he played against us that night - it was a great game,’” Laettner said, “that’s all.”

There will be a time in the future when we do need to restructure.” The candidates spoke about what they hope to do with the state’s agricultural system. Riley and her runningmate Gatewood Galbraith, Independent, are already activists within the agricultural sphere. “I am the chair of the Kentucky Hemp Initiative.” she said. “We can be a leader in the world with energy development.” Farmer showed his knowledge of the state agricultural system and mentioned the Kentucky Proud program he instituted as Kentucky’s Agricultural Commissioner. “It’s over a $4 million industry for Kentucky,” he said. “It’s a part of our heritage.

‘Bomb Patrol’ is intensely human REASON TO WATCH: You’ll feel like your butt is on the line, too, as an elite American team tries to find and clear hidden explosive devices in Afghanistan. WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Wanna play video games, G4 fans? We’ll give you some video games. Either correctly control a remote robot to find a suspected IED (improvised explosive device), or get yourself blown up. Way fun! The show’s premiere hour does start like a thrill ride, with camera shots flashing fast, adrenaline pumping and incoming wartime fire in fact, an immediate casualty. But then “Bomb Patrol” jumps back five months, sending us off on deployment with the eight men of Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Platoon 342. The pace chills enough to let us get to know the guys _ from a vigilant chief who has survived five combat gigs to a cocky new bomb tech who “thought it’d be fun to play with explosives and blow stuff up.” We’re right there with them inside the
cramped tank-like JERRV (Joint EOD Rapid Response Vehicle), creeping across narrow Afghan bridges, fording washed-out roads, checking containers for booby traps and generally hoping we don’t “go boom.” MY SAY: Gamers do get their day here, as the new kid uses a video game controller to send out a small robot to save two larger ones he’s already marooned in a sticky situation. Seeing it unfold via split-screen computer monitor is cool. But very, very real. As our newbie learns, these “games” have serious stakes. And “Bomb Patrol” turns out to be an intensely human documentary. It’s economically edited and well explained (Josh Duhamel is the narrator) by producers who know how to grab your guts and not let go. BOTTOM LINE: Explosions, yes. But emotions, too.
some extra sweat from his forehead. “I let him know he was missing a couple of spots,” Hayes said. As for the basketball, it was definitely exhibition-quality — nothing is wrong with that. The score was 74-68 at halftime (halftime!). Big men were liberated to shoot as many threes as they wanted (Nazr Mohammed, who has never made a 3-pointer in his 13-year NBA career, hit his first attempt of the game). Former Louisville player Terrence Williams, after pausing on a breakaway for effect, blew a wide-open dunk. All Stars coach Rex Chapman had to juggle a lineup that saw John Wall come late and not play, DeMarcus Cousins sit out the second half eating a sucker with ice packs on his legs and Brandon Knight hobbling off the court after tweaking an ankle. “I think (Chapman) has a future in coaching,” Hayes said. “But he needs a star so he doesn’t have to do too much coaching.” Hayes looked like he needed backups so he didn’t have to do as much running. He was asked after the game how close he was to game shape.

To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 9 — Relax and let others support you. Listen carefully for a valuable insight. Pay special attention to your relationships. It's not a good time to take risks. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — Discuss an upcoming purchase and plan it in the budget, while keeping your bucks in the bank. Focus instead on filling your hive with honey. Wait for a good sale. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8 — One who loves you sees you bigger than you see yourself. Adopt their view, even temporarily. You can learn a lot from children, who aren't afraid to tell the truth. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7 — Take on more homework, even if it complicates things. In the end, the extra effort will be worth it.
You may even find a hidden treasure in the details. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — Still no gambling allowed, except regarding affairs of the heart. You can create a new reality as long as you're not attached to the outcome. Why not go for it? Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 9 — Tear it down to rebuild. Starting over can give a stronger foundation. Avoid going against your core values, and double-check everything. Work with another. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Your sense of harmony and self-confidence are especially appreciated today. Lead by example for a fruitful phase. Your energy's contagious, and many hands make light work. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — It's okay to think about it for a while. Don't push yourself (or your luck). Remember that cash isn't everything, and count your blessings instead. The money will come.
“Not close yet,” Hayes said with a laugh. “I won’t be in game shape ‘til I play games.” When the game looked like it was going into overtime, officials had to improvise what they would do. So they threw up four minutes on the clock and let it play out. The Villains ended up winning 152-149, and Jodie Meeks missed a buzzer-beater that would have tied the game. He did have an absurd 42 points on 30 shots, absurdities which continued into the box score. The Villains scored 96 points in the paint. The Big Blue All Stars scored 74 points off the bench. “If you didn’t have fun, man,” Hayes said, “you can go home and watch Monday Night Football.” And now, the exhibition games — starting with the Pros vs. Dominican Republic game and continuing through the small-schools tour — fade away. As does Kanter. He’s heading back to L.A. to work out with trainers and fellow NBA players. Work out, and wait. He can’t do anything else. He hasn’t been able to do anything else for the past two years. “When I was watching games last year, I kept thinking about if my name could be called,” Kanter said in the locker room afterward. He got it Monday.

things we already produce, and that’s the key.” The candidates discussed why they believe this election is so important for UK students to participate in. “I would impose, upon higher education, a program that helps keep students in the state through our economic development program to keep students in the state after they graduate,” Riley said after the debate in an interview with the Kernel. Farmer said it is “imperative that college students vote and recognize the difference between the candidates.” He referenced state funding and support for the potential new arena in downtown Lexington, and said that Louisville’s new arena, which Abramson was a main factor in jumpstarting, would be a good model. “Obviously it’s very costly, and we would have to figure out how to pay for it,” Farmer said. “You can look at the YUM! Center in Louisville as an example.” Abramson encouraged UK students to go out and vote because it will have a direct effect on their lives. “Now more than ever it is important for college students to get engaged, because the issues of the future are their issues,” he said.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6 — Conversation with a friend helps clear your mind. Sometimes you have to let the current take you, rather than fight it to exhaustion. You could end up at a better destination. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7 — There's more to the situation than simply facts and logic. Look for options in less tangible factors. Follow a strong recommendation, and revise plans as needed. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — Previous barriers have dissolved, so take advantage to wrap up old business. Outrageous dreams now seem possible. Take on more responsibility, and rely on your team. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7 — You may find yourself confronting an authority. Be respectful, and talk politely. They may actually listen. There could be a test. You're up for it. MCT
ods, yet still produces beautiful things. “I’m studying architecture, so I’ve picked up the importance of working physically and indirectly through drawing models and letting them speak for themselves, but still knowing they’re in the pursuit of architecture,” Ruhl said. “It’s important to see not only what the faculty has done, but what he has done in his field. He is teaching architecture and practicing architecture, but so much more goes into his work. Students will appreciate his interdisciplinary approach.” O’Bryan, who received his undergraduate degree in Fine Arts at UK and his master’s in
architecture from Cornell University, has been at UK since the late 1980s. He said the ability to draw and sketch is imperative for an architect, and something he trains his students to do immediately. “That’s one thing we do … that we love to do to represent things,” O’Bryan said about drawing. “The ability to train yourself to draw, to see things through drawing — because we are visual learners — to be able to quickly draw by hand is an important ability.” Although O’Bryan uses traditional methods, like hand sketching, much more frequently than current architecture students, he describes his architecture style as “modern.” “I think it has to do with how you were educated, (your education) forms your entire career,” he said.
O’Bryan said the photography, painting and drawing hobbies were something he always nurtured, and are skills that now contribute to his design process as a whole. “It’s something that I just do,” he said. “It’s part of my whole work habit. My whole life is around making things, whether it’s a design project for students or something for a client.” O’Bryan’s desire to constantly “make things” is reflected in a piece in the exhibit that shows the work he did on his own personal residence, along with his wife, who is an interior designer. This piece and more can be viewed at Rasdall Gallery through Nov 9, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. O’Bryan and his wife’s work can be viewed at www.markobryan.com.

‘Fat talk’ harmful to body image and health
New UK antibias committee limits right to free speech Did you read our new President’s email about negative bias and prejudice last week? In case you didn’t, President Eli Capilouto’s campus-wide DAVID email promised to BURNETT create a Bias InciContributing dent Response columnist Team to combat the “unwelcome presence” of any beliefs out of sync with UK’s promotion of diversity. My guess is, you either thought this guy was being proactive about dispatching hate speech, or you thought Big Brother just got sworn in. (Third option, you glanced at the email’s title, yawned and went back to studying.) In the email, Capilouto fretted about a flyer anonymously posted to the Center for Academic Resources and Enrichment Services purportedly containing “hate speech.” Once our new president pledged to help fight “negative bias,” the erudite Kernel staff got busy and issued their echo of approval, condemning hate and promoting diversity and openness (you’ve got to love a paper that will take a stand on tough issues like this). Can we take a quick poll here? By show of hands, who here approves of hate speech? Really, no one? Shocking. Okay, how about this: Can anyone define what hate speech is other than “speech that is hateful?”
Everyone? Okay, you can put your hands down, you look dorky. We all have different opinions about what hate speech is. We run into big problems when we decide to restrict it. Who defines what hate speech to restrict? What may be devoutly sacred to a Muslim (“Allahu Akbar”) might be considered “hate speech” to a returning military veteran. Chris Rock’s “Can A Ni**a Get a Table Dance” might just be bar music to one person and highly prejudicial to another. An atheist may draw as much offense from a Christian praising God as a Christian from an atheist taking God’s name in vain. The same right to free speech protects the Occupy Wall Street protesters who want to behead rich people, the men in suits who shout “get a job!” at them and even the UK Athletics department promising a better football season. Don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing I’d like more than to punch out the attention-seekers of Fred Phelps’s “God Hates F*gs” church. It’s just … they have the right of freedom of speech, too. People actually have a right to be, in the words of Capilouto, “antithetical to the values of diversity and inclusiveness,” i.e. jerks, as long as they don’t cause actual harm to someone (that whole fire/crowded theater gig). In fact, shutting down opinions we don’t like actually makes us the ones antithetical to diversity and inclusiveness. Free speech isn’t always safe or
Free speech isn’t always safe or comfortable, but it is equitable. Making exceptions for any reason is a hard bell to un-ring.
pleasant or comfortable, but it is equitable. Making exceptions to freedom of speech for any reason is a hard bell to un-ring. I couldn’t find the details on what exactly this hateful flyer said, but I find it hard to believe this campus is really so threatened by a jerk with a Sharpie and notepad that we have to create an entire squad to issue protocols of niceness and beat back the rampant forces of “negative bias.” (Admittedly, this would be a great way to get back at annoying roommates or exes.) We as UK students can put on our big boy pants and bravely confront the vile hoards of “negative bias” without a diversity squad. And, as we do so, let us remember the words of the great Edmund Burke: “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to spout clichés.” David Burnett has earned a degree from the Gatton College of Business & Economics and is now a pre-nursing major.

TRUSTEE Continued from page 1 Oct. 1, Blanton said. Additional information was also provided to all trustees on Oct. 7, he said. “No one was aware that Dr. Voro was not satisfied with the university’s response to her request until she filed an Open Records request with our Legal Office on Oct. 19 and when the Herald-Leader informed me that she had written an opinion piece,” Blanton said.
However Voro said the summary given to the trustees was not what she requested. “The thing that was sent to all trustees on Oct. 7 and received by me on Oct. 10 was not the summary of the information that I asked for originally,” Voro said in an email to the Kernel. “It was entirely something else.” Voro said she is being censored. “I feel that what has been done by the Administration is highly unethical,” she said. To obtain the information she
originally wanted, Voro filed an Open Records request Oct. 19, and received an answer on Monday. She didn’t originally file the request because it takes three business days, and she said she needed the information before the Board of Trustees retreat. “Most of all, if even trustees are forced to seek information from people who are legally their subordinates through Open Records request,” Voro said, “that by itself would be a major disaster in the business of trustees overseeing this university.”
In the Herald-Leader Op-Ed, Voro said she represents the UK faculty aspirations. “Those aspirations, not unlike any other taxpayers', include finding and relieving our taxpayer-owned institution of the workstifling, tuition-gobbling administrative bloat,” she said in the article. She said in the article that after being denied the information, she has a “greater suspicion that the UK bureaucracy doesn't want us to know its actual size and the costs it inflicts.”

Win has Cats confident again Need ‘to stay humble,’ prepare for Mississippi State By Ethan Levine elevine@kykernel.com
A whirlwind of emotions rushed throughout the UK locker room following Saturday’s Homecoming game. Happiness, encouragement, confidence, relief, all unfamiliar feelings in the home locker room of Commonwealth Stadium. The Cats had won, finally, for the first time since Sept. 10 against Central Michigan. “We’re moving forward now, I feel like,” sophomore linebacker Avery Williamson said. “We got in a bad slump. I didn’t know what direction this team was heading in, and this win just puts a step forward and gives us a little life. It just gets us more ready for Mississippi State.” Now reacquainted with the joy of victory, the Cats will try and get their swagger back before continuing a difficult SEC schedule with a home showdown against the Mississippi State Bulldogs looming Saturday. UK will look to ride the

season highs on Saturday in points, total yards and rushing yards against the Gamecocks behind big perform-
ances from junior running back CoShik Williams and junior wide receiver La’Rod King. The defense allowed
just 14 points and won the turnover battle with JSU, a goal of Rick Minter’s defense in 2011. “It definitely helps give our guys confidence in the running game because we know the thing that we have to do,” UK head football coach Joker Phillips said. “And I think you saw last week, what our defense can do when they are fresh, when they don’t have to play as many plays and keeping those guys off the field is done by running the football efficiently and moving the chains and then being able to have some big plays in the pass game.” Again, the message from Phillips and his football team is confidence. After a rough first six games, the Cats are 1-0 in what Phillips refers to as “second season,” and looking to continue the run. Now at 3-4 on the season with five games remaining, UK must finish with a 3-2 record or better to reach its sixth straight bowl game. With just one ranked team remaining on the schedule (Georgia on Nov. 19),the Cats must prove they have
the ability to compete with middle-tier teams in the conference, including Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Tennessee, all of whom await on the remainder of UK’s schedule. Junior safety Martavius Neloms, whose sack and fumble return for a touchdown gave the Cats the lead Saturday, said that UK making a bowl game is still a goal for the team this season. “It means a lot because we are a very close team,” Neloms said. “None of us want to let the seniors down or go out on a losing note, so we’re just going to try and prepare hard and do everything we can to keep the streak alive and go out on a winning note.” Despite the excitement surrounding the win, UK has already turned the page and begun focusing on achieving that goal and earning another win this week. “I feel a lot better coming off of the win,” sophomore defensive tackle Donte Rumph said, “but we got to stay humble and focus on this week on Mississippi State.”

Group LEADs the way to good study skills By Taylor Maupin features@kykernel.com
The transition from high school to college can reveal a lot of things. One of those things can often be “Oh my gosh, I don’t know how to study.” The Gatton College of Business and Economics is hosting “Gatton Study Smart” Tuesday night to help students learn important study techniques and more about what The Study has to offer.
Sophomore Brett Fountain created this event through a group called L.E.A.D., Leadership Exploration and Development Program. L.E.A.D. encourages students to take the initiative to assume a leadership role on campus and to increase student involvement and student’s knowledge of what events and organizations make up campus. “I work at The Study, and I know that a lot of people
don’t know about all of the classes that we help with,” Fountain said. Amanda Koch, a sophomore and member of Delta Delta Delta sorority at UK, handled the marketing and public relations for the event. “I sent out emails, hung up flyers in the Delta Delta Delta house, Gatton and all over South Campus,” Koch said. Fountain said the purpose for the event is to inform students about The Study and
the support it offers for business classes like MA 123, MA162, STA 291, ACC 201/202, and ECO 201/202. This event also will promote good study techniques and include pointers for effective studying, Fountain said. “Our aim is to have more people attending The Study ... to help raise student’s grades, and improve their studying skills and time management,”
Koch said. “Gatton Study Smart” will be held at The Study, which is located above Commons on South Campus. It will be open to all students and free Qdoba catering will be available to all who attend. Flyers will be provided for students to take home, which will have information about The Study and the
classes that they can help with. “It is important for students to learn good studying techniques because it can help them make better grades, which can help decrease stress,” Koch said. More information can be accessed on the Gatton College of Business and Economics website and in their newsletter.
Miss Piggy to play Vogue editor in Muppets movie SHELISA MELENDEZ Kernel columnist
America’s favorite pig has returned, and she is hogging the spotlight. The talkative, loving and voluptuous Miss Piggy is making her presence known this November in both the fashion and beauty world. In the November issue of Instyle magazine, which hit newsstands Friday, Miss Piggy was featured in an eightpage spread, where she discussed her upcoming movie and wore designer threads. “The snappy diva flaunted her figure in a series of designer wares for the fashion mag’s November issue, including a fringed lacy black number from Jason Wu, and the silk, cinched-waist dress from Prabal Gurung,” a CNN blog said. Aside from being clothed by some of the most coveted threads, Miss Piggy has her hooves in more than one pot. Within the last week, MAC Cosmetics announced the pig princess as the face of a limited-edition makeup line. Glamour magazine reported the line will feature three products: eyeliner ($17.50), a pair of eyelashes ($15) and pink eye shadow
($15). The line will be exclusively sold online beginning Nov. 14. In the advertisements for the makeup line, Miss Piggy is wearing a gold metallic trench coat (in-line with the fall trend), dramatic eye makeup (typical of MAC) and a new short black hairstyle: tres edgy.
She is enjoying the collaboration with MAC — especially the power. “Oh I adore collaboration — especially when everyone is there to listen to what I have to say and do exactly what I tell them to,” Miss Piggy said in a Fox News article. If a MAC collaboration wasn’t enough, Miss Piggy is also a part of the new OPI 12piece limited-edition nail polish collection, inspired by the upcoming “The Muppets” movie, in theaters Nov. 23. “Not only do the Muppets characters inspire fun, bright and joyful colors, the fashionable Miss Piggy lends her name to the three high-shine
pink-based hues,” Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI’s executive vice-president and artistic director, said in a fashionetc.com article. The OPI collection is set to release in stores and salons in November, featuring colors like “Warm & Fozzie” and “Getting Piggy With It.” In the upcoming “The Muppets” movie, Miss Piggy will play the role of editor-inchief of French Vogue, hence her immaculate style. According to an ELLE UK article, a few costumes featured in the film were designed by some of fashion’s biggest names — Christian Louboutin and Zac Posen. Because of her latest status in fashion, she will also make a guest appearance on Bravo’s TV series “Project Runway Allstars” as a guest judge. It is without question that Miss Piggy is in hog heaven with all of the recent publicity for her fashion spreads, collaborations and guest appearances, but I am quite sure there is much more to come from the fashionable swine! *Note: I am unaware of any animals being tested for the MAC & OPI collections. Let’s be honest, I doubt Miss Piggy would let that fly. Shelisha Melendez is a Senior journalism and merchandising, apparel and textiles Senior.
