After Christmas at The Children's Place: Returns and Exchanges Nightmare! Ashley Reed, 12th grade

After the presents are unwrapped and the paper is thrown away comes every retailer's worst nightmare: customers rushing into the store to return or exchange items. The few days after Christmas are the worst, busiest time for returns at The Children's Place. It may be the time for bringing items back, but it's also the time when customers aren't so friendly or patient. Cut us sales Dear RealTalk, I tend to dress on the conservative side of the dress code-- long skirts, little make up, et cetera. But some other girls make fun of me for not 'pushing boundaries' and dressing more… uh… you !

associates a break! We're just following the store policy. Just be patient-- even with so many people returning or exchanging items, the store isn't very busy. The days start to go slower with so few shoppers and so many returns.

Movies At-A-Glance: Skyfall

Skyfall, directed by Academy Award winning director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) is one of the best Bond films to date. Sure, it may sound like I am succumbing to modern films and ignoring the classics, but that is not the case. Daniel Craig, after proving himself the best Bond in 2005’s Casino Royale, takes a step forward in his role as he submerges himself into a sea of emotion and commitment. Academy Award winner Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men) is phenomenal in an over the top yet non-campy Bond villain that sizzles with every word spoken. From the opening title sequence (which is the best opening title sequence in a film all year, featuring a beautiful song by Adele) to the final credits, Skyfall is spectacular, whether it be the amazing action or the well written dialogue. This is surely one of the best films, if not the best film, of 2012. (A+) - Guest Contributor Ben Lane, 12th grade

know. Does it make me a wimp or a prude for not being able to tell them that I don't feel comfortable dressing like other girls? Or am I a better person for not sinking to their level? Sincerely, Overdressed?

Dear Overdressed, Good for you for standing up for yourself! Or thinking about it, anyway. Wearing modest clothes (or not) is entirely your decision, and it's up to you whether or PAGE 1
