Wash. Post Says Aiken, Jonze Out in 2004

WASHINGTON - Watch out, Clay Aiken and Spike Jonze. The Washington Post says you're out and Barry Manilow and Sofia Coppola are in.

The Post's Style section's traditional New Year's Day In and Out list also says Donatella Versace has been supplanted by Dutch designers Viktor and Rolf; the Segway scooter by the Honda Ruckus; Bachelors by Average Joes; the White Stripes by Whitening Strips; and "flash mobs" by Howard Dean mobs.

Other Outs: overscheduled kids, tiny dogs and saying something is "ne plus ultra," or the ultimate.

Other Ins: unrestricted playtime, hairless cats and saying something is "sui generis," or unique.

Come and get me, Associated Press!

ILX is no longer "ne plus ultra", IMHO.

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 2 January 2004 22:40 (twenty years ago) link

Really though, it is about time Spike Jonze went the way of the tiny dog.

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 2 January 2004 22:42 (twenty years ago) link

Amen to that, brotha!
