Comments on: The world to The WALK: Shut up http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/thespin/2007/10/26/the-world-to-the-walk-shut-up/ The opinion blog of The Daily Pennsylvanian Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:04:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Othman Tazi http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/thespin/2007/10/26/the-world-to-the-walk-shut-up/#comment-4158 Othman Tazi Thu, 08 May 2008 20:26:23 +0000 http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/thespin/2007/10/26/the-world-to-the-walk-shut-up/#comment-4158 I absolutely agree with Ms. Hennessy. The WALK might very well be intended as "a positive, informative publication to 1) make people feel good about themselve" (as thanks says above me) but they are still very far from it. For the moment it's a lot of condescending nonsense, okay photos, and "interestingly" dressed people. It seems much more like a group of people (I didn't know they were all COMM majors) who write about their dressing styles in an attempt to vindicate themselves, rather unsuccessfully. Throwing fashion shows and holding Fashion weeks, only to show up at Huntsman or Van Pelt the very next Sunday morning wearing the same sweatpants, leggings, and flip-flops you spend 30-pages ranting about is not very elegant. But whatever, it's a free world (or so I was told). Goodluck with all. I absolutely agree with Ms. Hennessy.

And everyone still wears flip-flops! I mean unless your one of those weirdos who wears their sneakers to the beach! They are fab!

We do not trash any other organization in our magazine, and we use real Penn students for models. I would say that The Walk has a lot more integrity than those people and groups who chose to openly insult other organizations.

Not the one in The Walk, but the one Miss Hennessy wrote. As a writer for a periodical, you should know that if you are going to criticize another publication, you should do so in a way that doesn't make you look like a conceited, pompous, self-loving, b****.

Apparently, not subscribing to the faux-hipster trend makes me unfashionable. Judging by the quality of the models of The Walk and their outfits, I'd say that=good thing. Awesome entry.
