Pop Hits and Politics: At Yardfest, Students Dance to Bedingfield and a Student Band Condemns Trump
It’s magic ticket time-—this week, The Prying Game interrupted hung-over Leverettites’ brunches to ask them this very important question: “If you could go to the Oscars with anyone you wanted, and wear anything you wanted, what would you do?” In a testament to Harvard students’ pop-culture apathy, a depressing amount of people said they didn’t care about Hollywood or didn’t know enough to comment. Here are the ones that said other stuff. Beyonce was curiously prevalent.
Sozi Tulante ’97, HLS ’01
“If I couldn’t take my wife, I’d take Jude Law—he’s a pretty handsome dude, and he looks like he could party...for my outfit, I’d go to the Garment District; you can put together an outfit there that looks like [it came through] a time machine...I’d wear powder-blue Pumas, the Samuel L. Jackson suit from Pulp Fiction...and a blue tie to match the shoes.”
Priscilla J. Orta ’05
“I’d take Antonio Banderas…He hasn’t been in anything [good] lately, but he’d be a great accessory item—isn’t that what dates are? I’d wear J. Lo’s green dress…held up with double-sided tape…[because] if I had J. Lo’s body I wouldn’t mind being naked, it’d be okay if something popped out.”
Leyla R. Bravo ’05
“I’d take my mom. She’d be so happy—she’d be all over Antonio Banderas. [Friend: ‘You should wear that bra!’]…Uhh, I’d be like Beyonce…my mom would make matching dresses for both of us—in red.”
Lisa D. Lareau ’06
“I’d want to go with a group of people, like Destiny’s Child…I’d be their fourth member. We’d have coordinated outfits… I [wouldn’t mind]…being the token white girl…I really think I’d bring something special to the group.”
