Bald & Beautiful: Colts Cheerleaders Further Unite City
One of the strongest bonds on earth seems to be between a female and her hair. And when her job is to publicly promote an organization, you can imagine the tender-loving care those follicles must receive. Over the weekend, Colts cheerleaders Megan Meadors and Crystal Anne used their full heads of hair to great effect, displaying a different kind of support. During Sunday's Colts game, of course, the two women had their domes shaved on national television in honor of coach Chuck Pagano and his ongoing battle with leukemia, a fight that has gripped both the city of Indianapolis and the nation itself, superseding the sport of football.
Referee's "Buttocks" Call for Colts Is Just His Latest Quip
NFL referee Ed Hochuli harbors both prestige and popularity in his biceps that are the talk of the sport. But when he opens his mouth, sometimes a special line comes out.

Tonic Ball Rocks Fountain Square
The Kinks, Stevie Wonder, and U2 may seem like unlikely concert mates. But pair that trio of acts with three Fountain Square venues, 47 local bands, and one great cause, and the 11th annual Tonic Ball event turned out to be one great party. Tonic Ball, which benefits Second Helpings, a local food rescue and distribution organization, rocked Fountain Square this past Friday, Nov. 16.
IU’s Famous Free-Throw Diversion
Some schools’ student sections go all out in the name of free-throw diversion. Waving arms, jumping as one, a man wearing next to nothing (see Duke University’s “Speedo Guy”)—not much is off limits. And then there are the giant heads in Assembly Hall’s Crimson Guard.
REVIEW: Phoenix Theatre's Seminar sends up writers
Never trust a wordsmith—that seems a moral of the story in Seminar. A writer, especially of fiction, works to persuade and to engross, and what's most dangerous is when that scribe himself starts believing the words coming from his own pen or mouth. Or from the heart.
Indy's Central Library Ranked No. 5 Most Beautiful in Nation
With its wide bookshelves varying from dark aged wood to more modern circular cases, The Indianapolis Public Library—Central Library—writes the book on combining old with new. And now it has been chosen by MentalFloss.com as the fifth most beautiful library in the United States. With contenders among these Top 10 such as the Armstrong–Browning Library at Baylor University in Texas and the Morgan Library in New York, Indy should be flattered. Most of the edifices chosen are on the coasts, and Indy's downtown main branch is the sole Midwest rep on this list.
