Have you ever watched a movie or read a chapter of a book where the main character is running and skipping through the field? What would you imagine them wearing? What would you wear in these fields? I have done some research and determined the best outfits to wear while frolicking and what fields are best suited for it. Before we dive in, frolicking can be defined as moving about cheerfully, excitedly, or energetically.

Frolicking can happen almost anywhere and all over the world. Frolicking is an art that many try to perfect but only a few can achieve the ultimate goal, effortless enjoyment in an aesthetic image. There are many different types of frolicking and a variety of different environments that they can be done. There is frolicking in fields, frolicking in castles, frolicking in a small village, frolicking in the mountains, and so much more. Each place requires different personalities and outfits to achieve. The field aesthetic is more relaxed clothing, loose-fitting and flowy. The items worn are light colored and easy to run in, whether it be a dress or soft-textured pants.

All in all, frolicking through a field cannot be planned. The outfit needs to be spontaneous and fun, and the mood needs to be perfect. Frolicking isn’t difficult to execute, but hard to perfect. Now that you have become more informed on frolicking in fields, go out and try it! Frolic all the time and everywhere because Utah is the perfect place to practice your frolicking until you can travel to the most ideal and picture perfect frolicking locations all around the world.

Femme fashion
should fashion be gender exclusive?
Harry Styles dazzles the crowd at the 2019 Met Gala.
BY EVE CANDELL
FASHION & FOODIES EDITOR In modern media, fashion trends come and go quite regularly, especially in women’s fashion. Those cute Doc Marten Chelsea boots and brown corduroy jacket you bought at the beginning of the season might be out by the time Christmas rolls around. It is more common for the media to be hyper focused on female celebrity fashion choices and statements, but a trend sweeping Hollywood recently might be just the thing to change that. Male fashion tends to be more set in stone than that of women, the classic sports jacket and slacks will never go out of style, whereas a women’s a-line skirt fluctuates in popularity almost monthly. However, it is becoming increasingly popular for men’s fashion to take a page out of feminine fashion’s book and incorporate more “feminine” designs into everyday menswear. Several celebrities have been challenging fashion’s traditional gender roles over the years, including entertainers Timothee Chalamet and Harry Styles and many many more. It has become more and more popular for men to wear more feminine silhouettes, and to accessorize in a more traditionally feminine way. 
Harry Styles is one of the most obvious examples of this, sporting his signature painted nails at various events. His specific blue and pink style that he wore on the cover of his newest album Fine Line started quite the social media trend. Feminine and masculine fans alike flooded to TikTok to find the exact shades of lacquer he used, and shared tips and tricks to replicate his exact look. His professional manicurist, Jenny Longworth shared that Styles favors spicing up his nail looks for editorial pieces, including his classic smiley face yellow nails. Men around the world have followed suit, expressing themselves freely by styling themselves with similar nail looks, and it is very common to see men wearing nail polish nowadays.

Styles of course isn’t the only man in Hollywood pushing to eliminate gender exclusive fashion trends. Little Women stars Timothee Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan stunned audiences when the Little Women cover shoot by Entertainment Weekly (which you can read here) was published, with Chalamet styled in a softer and more feminine style, and Ronan dressed in a harsher, more masculine style. It is becoming more and more normalized for men to appear in public with makeup on as well, and Chalamet in this photoshoot exemplifies the wonders of men’s makeup beautifully.
In past years, men dressing in more feminine styles was grossly stereotyped as being a “gay” style, but now, as it becomes more and more normalized, it is becoming more socially acceptable for all genders to style themselves however they would like, freely expressing their passion through their clothing and accessories regardless of sexual orientation.

Next time you are out in public (don’t forget a mask!) keep an eye out for women and men sharing fashion trends and expressing themselves how they see fit, and be proud of them for sharing their style with the world regardless of sexual orientation, gender, age or any other defining factor.

HOly jeans!
BY EMMA CARVER
EDITORIALS EDITOR
Everyone has that one Grandpa that takes one look at the outfit you have hanging on your body and raises his eyebrows. The eyebrow raise is then followed by the iconic line, “Were the rips there when you bought them?” or a more colorful variation, “Why would you buy jeans with the holes already in them, sweetie?” That last one is usually from your sweet grandma that gives you chocolate chip cookies to make up for judging your fashion sense. Anyway the judging looks come, the old folks don’t understand the new trend of holes in your jeans.
The trend of holes in jeans started in the 1980s and became more popular in the 1990s and 2000s. The so-called ‘grunge’ era was what introduced the trend and then it was practiced by the fans of the hard rock bands. These hard rock bands were looked down upon which led to teenagers in their rebellious phases to follow the fashion sense of the members in these bands. Rips in jeans became a symbol of a teen finding their own voice and refusing to follow the fashion trends of their parents. This ‘holy’ jean movement (badum-ch) paralleled the flapper phenomenon in the ‘60s on a smaller scale. It was a way for young people to throw a rebellion of sorts.
In the late 2000s the trend lost its meaning and became a cute fashion statement rather than a way to go against the status quo and oppose the close minded ideals of the ones who came before. Now, in malls across the country every piece of denim you see has a rip in the knees or in the the thighs… or occasionally on the back pockets. The rips in the jeans have gotten out of hand in certain cases where it doesn't even seem like there’s any jean left, there are so many holes. Schools across the nation have had to start making rules in the dress code against holes in teenager’s jeans which has occasionally caused an outrage. Either way, the rips in jeans have become a large trend for kids of all ages, adults occasionally, and some fashion runways have adopted this popular wardrobe statement.

SAUCE BOSS SOUTHERN KITCHEN
Chef Julius Thompson proudly opens his southern kitchen style eatery, Sauce Boss.

BY MASON HUGHES
NATION & WORLD NEWS EDITOR I was born in Atlanta, Georgia. While I lived there, I enjoyed delicious southern food at nearly any restaurant. However, once I moved to Utah, I found that there was not a single restaurant that could provide the same quality of meals as those back in Atlanta. Then, I discovered Sauce Boss Southern Kitchen. Sauce Boss Southern Kitchen, located on 877 E 12300 S, is by far, Draper’s tastiest restaurant. The owner, Chef Julius Thompson, serves large portions of well-seasoned southern food, from shrimp and grits to fried chicken. His food is authentic, taking me back to my days at southern smokehouses and fisheries. I recently attended the restaurant with my friend, Spencer Croston, to review the food. I ordered the “golden splendor,” a meal of delicious cheese shells with tender shrimp and crispy thick cut bacon with a side of fries. Each meal at Sauce Boss also comes with a large piece of sweet cornbread, buttered to perfection. The golden splendor was amazing, with salt and fat combining to create an awesome savory experience. It was also incredibly filling, and as someone who hates to leave restaurants hungry, I’m glad of it. The fries are cooked with a unique batter with the perfect balance of salt and crunch. My friend, Spencer, ordered the fried chicken. He commented that it was juicy and flavorful. As someone who has previously enjoyed the chicken, I agree wholeheartedly. Some of the most overlooked menu items at Sauce Boss are the drinks. Sauce Boss serves the best lemonade in Draper - it is fresh, home-made, and infuses a seasonal mix-in. Sauce Boss also sells Bissap, a cool, refreshing drink made from Roselle, a hibiscus species. I highly recommend it. If I could buy bottles of the stuff, I would. Unfortunately, Sauce Boss currently does not have a dine-in option. Hours are limited due to the pandemic. However, you can easily order your food in person, wait a few minutes, and then enjoy it at nearby Draper Park for a quick picnic. I highly recommend this phenomenal restaurant. It has food that will leave your mouth watering and wanting more. Sauce Boss Southern Kitchen truly provides a delicious taste of the south. POSTED 9/28/20 |

First up will be Taylor’s J. Mendel’s flowy pink and yellow princess number worn at the 2019 Time 100 gala.

Another look from back in 2019, Swift dazzles the red carpet in a simple navy jumpsuit with gold accents by Oscar de la Renta, which she matched with her signature red lip and a classy slicked back hairstyle. At this particular event, the singer was awarded Billboard’s first ever Woman of the decade accolade, a significant achievement at only 29 years old.
Next, Swift showed up to the 2019 iHeart Radio Awards in a beautiful shimmering romper designed by Rosa Bloom, with whimsical and adorable butterfly accented Sophia Webster heels finish of the dreamy look. Taylor’s appearance at the iHeart Radio Awards was just over a month before the debut of her lead single “ME!”, the first track from her album Lover.
A slight pivot into 2018 brings us into the middle of Taylor’s Reputation Stadium Tour, which showcased a new side of Swift’s fashion, a darker and more “haunted” take on her usual tour outfits. One of the standouts is this custom made rainbow sequin design, which she wore to perform her 2014 hit “Shake It Off”, and her Reputation single “Delicate” as she soared over the crowd. This dress was one of several that were custom made for her performances, each sparklier than the last!
Overall, it's clear to see that Taylor Swift’s style is versatile, and constantly evolving and changing. Keep an eye out to see what she styles for her performances of her album “Lover” and her most recent release, “Folklore”.

POPEYE's vs. Chick-fil-a: EPIC BATTLE
|
BY ELI WEAVER
SCHOOL NEWS EDITOR On August 12th, 2020 Popeyes took the world by storm. Chick-Fil-A had to step aside because there was a new girl in town, and she was gonna give Chick-Fil-A a run for her money. When Popeyes came out with their own chicken sandwich jaws dropped. It was blowing up all over twitter with fans comparing and rating the sandwiches. Some of my favorites were: Mandy (Mandykitty15). “Popeyes Spicy chicken sandwich > kale salads” 9:08 PM · Sep 8, 2020 Liyah (therealtyliyah). “I knew 2020 was gonna be chaotic when we went crazy over a chicken sandwich... from Popeyes..” 8:30 PM · Sep 8, 2020 You might be wondering yourself which is better. Well I’m here to put both sandwiches to the test. There will be four categories: Taste, accessibility, appearance, and price. Taste: The Popeyes sandwich gets 207 points in taste. It is super tender and juicy. The chicken is crispy and thick. The bun is round and fluffy. The pickles are super thick. It also gets bonus points for actually coming with sauce. The Chick-Fil-A sandwich gets 187 points. The bun is not as fluffy but makes up for it in taste. Same with the pickles, they aren’t as thick but they have a better taste. The chicken is classic but doesn’t have that southern, authentic taste. Overall, Popeyes has better chicken but Chick-Fil-A has better pickles and buns. Round one goes to Popeyes. Accessibility: Popeyes has a total of 14 restaurants in Utah. The closest one to CCHS is still about 15 minutes away. Popeyes gets 14 points. Chick-FIl-A has 31 restaurants in Utah, one, of which, is in Draper. Chick-Fil-A gets 31 points. Round two goes to Chick-Fil-A Appearance: The Popeyes sandwich looks like it came fresh out of the oven. The bun is perfectly round and voluptuous, the chicken looks as crispy as ever. Popeyes gets 58 points. The Chick-Fil-A sandwich pales in comparison to the Popeyes sandwich, it looks like it just got smashed by a hammer. Sure it tastes great but it looks so unappealing. Chick-Fil-A gets 23 points. Round three goes to Popeyes. Price: The Popeyes sandwich is $3.99, not bad plus you get a huge slab of chicken. Popeyes gets 37 points. The Chick-Fil-A sandwich is $3.05, but you don’t get as much meat. Chick-Fil-A gets 68 points. Round four goes to Chick-FIl-A. The winner is…(insert drum roll noise) Popeyes! If you are willing to drive the extra distance and pay an extra dollar you get more of that crispy chicken and an overall better taste. Chick-Fil-A better hand over her crown because the new girl in town didn’t come to play. For more information about the popeyes sandwich visit https://www.rd.com/article/popeyes-chicken-facts. PUBLISHED 9/3/20 |
how the sandwiches stack up
We asked some CCHS Seniors what they thought of both the sandwiches. They were asked to score both of the sandwiches out of 10 and why they chose that score. Here is what they had to say:
Chick-Fil-A: Spencer Croston: 8/10 - Decently tender. - Not as crispy or juicy. - Nice bun. Eve Candell: 9/10 - Too small for price. - Not as filling. - Good pickles. Mason Hughes: 7.5/10 - MSG gives a nice buzz. - Flavorful but not overwhelming. Popeyes: Spencer Croston: 9.5/10 - Perfect crispness. - Well seasoned Eve Candell: 10/10 - Perfect size for maximum fullness - Crispy chicken - More pickles than Chick-Fil-A Mason Hughes: 8/10 - Tenderer and juicier meat - Thicker pickles - Better bun - The SAUCE |
