The Visual Arts of Medicine This exhibit mixes visual knowledge in art and science of med- icine using tools such as anatomical drawings, diagnostic mannequins and French maids, pimps top lsts of Halloween demands at /6 By Corinna Christman For the Daily Even though trick or treating around the neighborhood is no longer an option for most students, there are always parties, dances and plenty of other excuses to wear something fun for Halloween. But entering a costume store can often make the decision of what to wear difficult. Flooded with celebri- tv masks, canes, various hats, wigs, dresses, scarves, eyelashes and mil- lions of other transforming acces- sories, every idea becomes attractive. Workers at Fantasy Attic, which has recently moved to a new location at 3010 Packard Road, have reached a general consensus on the most pop- ular costume this year: French maid. One of the reasons for this is because there is not a really big movie char- acter this year. Other popular cos- tumes included generic ideas like flappers, genies, sleazy devils and a lot of outfits featuring leather. Fantasv Attic employee Shari Johnson said, "The most rented cos- tumes are Antony and Cleopatra, lei- derhosen and costumes from 'The Wizard of Oz' and 'Eyes Wide Shut.'"' The latter costume includes a sil- ver mask with the long nose and long velvet cape, modeled after Tom Cruise's Cvrano de Bergerac in the movie. "It's a very sensuous costume, and that's why people like it," Johnson said. Other costumes that are being modeled after popular movies or lit- crature are Austin Powers and Felicity Shagwell. David McNulty of Retro Threads on Main Street said that quite a few people are interested in costumes from "Charlie's Angels" as well, with the new movie coming out starring Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore. LSA freshman Kati Moore is fol- lowing the movie theme but breaking the gender barrier with her masked "Zorro" costume. Students can find a variety of cos- tume ideas on Retro Threads' shelves. The store has a huge assort- ment of '70s, retro, '20s and swing dance outfits. The store is jampacked with suits, ties, hats, wigs, jewelry and anything else to make a creative costume, McNulty said. "The store can do any decade or character from the '20s to the '70s," McNulty said. "We even have colo- nial type stuff and period things too." The store also offers props for those dressing as Hawaiian dancers or as punks. Some of the most popu- lar items purchased at Retro Threads are used to accessorize pimp cos- tumes. "A lot of people buy fake furs to LSA sophomore Tuyen Huynh gets some help trying on her cat costume from State Street. The store is located on the third floor above Retro Threads.

"There were 10 or 12 sorority girls who came in and wanted to be pimps." McNulty also said a lot of people dress as classic entertainers from album covers. When it comes to political figures, it seems that people would still vote for Clinton if they could. "A lot of people buy Clinton masks," Johnson said. Although Clinton has retained his popularity, Bush and Gore are not as big as one would think. "We have a lot of Bush and Gore masks, if -anvone cares," Johnson said. So far. not many people are interested or buying. McNolty has not noticed any interest in political figures, either. Looking for a groovy group or a couple costume? Many people are going as cartoon characters, such as Scooby-Doo or the Powerpuff Girls. "We had seven people come in and ask what they should be.
