Say anything: More straight talk from the DJ roundtable

by Heather Bouzan | April 07, 2008
DJ Melee: The better the party, the better the vibe, right? *** Eli: I think most of us here probably use some aspects of the new technology in everything we’re doing now. But it’s really to try to push new things and open up new doors. *** DJ Knife:...

From the turntable to the roundtable: One room. Eight local DJs. Countless opinions.

by Heather Bouzan | April 07, 2008
REPEAT AFTER us: a DJ is not a jukebox. If there’s anything that echoes in our head on a recent Friday afternoon, as we sip beers around a table in the back room of the Boston Billiard Club, it’s those six words. At the table with us: eight of the city...

What do you want? Stuff@Night readers share their favorite splurges

by Heather Bouzan | March 24, 2008
THE IPHONE. Super-fancy underpants. The triple-chocolate-orgasm-fudge-explosion ice cream that’s forever leering at us from inside its frost-bitten glass case. What do they have in common? All three rank on our list of must-have splurges. But what about...

Bodies by Boston: Our second annual list of the city's finest physiques

by Heather Bouzan | January 14, 2008
NO ONE SAID the journalism business was easy. When everyone else is all bundled up to fight Mother Nature’s harsh winter chill, we’re peeling away the layers of fleece, down, and flannel to expose some of the city’s most well-sculpted physiques. And it...

In Recovery: The holidays are finally over. Here’s how to unwind and chill out, stat.

by Heather Bouzan | December 17, 2007
ALL THE THINGS we love about the holidays - the expensive bottles of wine, the multi-course meals, the fancy soirées that end with breakfast - are also the things that leave us bleary-eyed, pudgy, and hating ourselves come the season's proverbial...

Gifted: Find out what local notables are hoping to get - and give - for the holidays this year

by Heather Bouzan | December 03, 2007
Greg Pic, DJ/producer Last year I got: an incredible number of Starbucks gift cards! I’m seriously addicted to the iced mochas — can’t start my day without one. This year I want: I hate to be a “band geek,” but since I spend more time in my studio than...

Better to receive: Having trouble forgetting the worst gifts you've ever been given? Purge your memory with these cooler alternatives

by Heather Bouzan | December 03, 2007
Worst gift: Rocking the reindeer sweater won’t win you any style points. And if Rudolph’s nose blinks, all the worse. BETTER ALTERNATIVE: SNUGGLE UP IN THE PRINGLE CABLE-KNIT SWEATER ($175) FROM INTERMIX (186 NEWBURY STREET, BOSTON, 617.236.5172). IT...

Where were they then?: Local notables recall their lives a decade ago

by Heather Bouzan | November 05, 2007
WHEN Stuff@night hit the streets for the first time in 1997, Boston was a very different place. The Red Sox still sorta sucked, M-80 was the place to see and be seen at night, and Kenmore Square was its old, scuzzy self. But what about the people? What...

Now and then: Hot trends from the last decade — and their contemporary counterparts

by Heather Bouzan | November 02, 2007
WE’RE GLAD that one of the inherent qualities of a trend is its brevity, because if we’d had to endure a lifetime’s worth of leggings, scrunchies, and New Kids on the Block, we’re not sure we’d still be around to talk about it. In the last 10 years, what...

Master Class: Many in Boston’s fashion community can trace their style education to one place: Louis Boston. Their teacher? Debi Greenberg.

by Erica Corsano | November 02, 2007
BOSTON IS renowned for a lot of things: universities, hospitals, sports teams. Still, we’ve never been known for our fashion scene. That’s not a dig — it’s just the truth. But thankfully, that’s changing. Gone are the days of pearls, ribbon belts, and...

by Melissa Cronin | November 02, 2007

Flashbacks: What we were talking about...

by Michael Diskin | November 02, 2007
… in 1997 “Remember when Princess Diana sparked the rage for colonic irrigation? (It makes me feel so energized.’) That development sent bicoastal trendsetters bot-toms up. Now it’s time for deep breathing. An oxygen hit is the pick-me-up of the moment...
