TYLER HOOKS

ails have recently reached the top of fashion trends with their unique display, and accessibility to the everyday gal. Whether they’re gel, shellac, acryl-

ic, or a simple manicure; nails present a more chic style bringing fine art and design to finger tips.

Today nail salons represent a fortress of quick, posh style offered to anyone who steps into its premises. People walk in and leave with a fashion statement glued, pressed, or polished to their nails. Junior Lindsey Rau said when she gets her nails done she walks out a new

woman. “There’s a salon down the street that I go to all the time,” Rau said. “I call and make an appointment, then when I get there they put me in a massage chair and do my feet and nails at the same time. It makes you feel like

a princess because you get to sit back and relax.” With a single stroke of polish, nails can easily lighten

anyone’s mood. Senior Angie Curry gets her nails done to feel pretty.

“I feel like everything is taken care of,” she said. “If a lady has low self-esteem it makes her feel pretty; it makes

her feel good.” Those who relish in nail art know the the person behind the table plays an important role in the process. Junior Maddie Chenoweth refuses to get her nails done without

her nail technician there. “My favorite thing about getting them done is talking to my nail lady; we have nice conversations,” Chenoweth

said. “I love her; she’s awesome.” The feeling of relaxation, confidence, and affordable chic style await at any local nail salon. Find a place, make an appointment, and enjoy the haute hands that go along

with it.

omedian Joan Rivers has ended her spat with the Writers Guild of America.

Rivers and the Writers Guild of America, East announced Monday that they have resolved the charges brought against the host of the “Fashion Police” show, ending an acrimonious dispute between the writers union and the outspoken comedian. Rivers faced sanctions and possible expulsion from the guild over allegations that she violated the union’s Working Rule 8, which prohibits writers from working on a struck show. Rivers was set to face a union trial next week. “As a lifetime member of the WGA, I have always supported the writers and want what’s best for them,” Rivers said in a statement. “In further support of the striking writers, I’ve decided not to render any writ-ing services even though as a comedian and SAG-AF-TRA host, I often write material for myself. Rest assured, though, I will always say what’s on my mind.”Writers of E!’s “Fashion Police” went on strike April 17. Under Rivers’ SAG-AFTRA contract, Rivers is ob-ligated to continue hosting the program during a strike; however, the WGAE and Rivers disagreed over wheth-er such host duties include writing. Michael Winship, WGAE president, said: “We are very pleased that we have been able to resolve the charges against Ms. Rivers and will not be proceeding to a disciplinary hearing. We recognize Ms. Rivers’ support for the striking writers and her illustrious career. We are also pleased that, as part of the resolu-tion of the charges, Ms. Rivers has agreed not to write during the strike and to meet with E! to advocate for immediate contract negotiations in support of the “Fashion Police” writers.” Rivers added: “It’s time for both sides to sit

down at the table and negotiate. Forget about the elec-tion. We all want the same thing _ to get this behind us _ so let’s make this deal.”

Twelve contestants, six girls and six boys, battle it out to see who will win the 2013 homecoming king and queen. Besides, what is high school without royalty?

HAIM “Days Are Gone” (Columbia) 3 1/2 stars

The long-haired sisters of L.A.’s Haim look as if they’re from the 1960s, crib lyrics from the 1970s and prize musical tricks from the 1980s. Yet the trio’s major-label debut, “Days Are Gone,” may be the freshest-sounding album you’ll hear all year.

Background and context figure into it. Este, Danielle and Alana Haim grew up playing in a cover band with their parents, who taught them to love — and to study — songwriting by the Beatles and the Eagles. They even-tually folded more into the mix — Prince, the Cars, Eu-rythmics — and that gave the sisters an abiding devotion to the sonic signatures of early ‘80s pop ‘n’ rock: slap bass, mechanized percussion, palm-muted one-string guitar chug. As Danielle puts it in “Falling”: “I’m a slave to the sound.”

Fast-forward to 2013, when everyone else in pop is in love with that sound too. By cleverly pulling from

the past, Haim now seems utterly on time. There’s no denying the sisters’ appealingly breathy voices or their delightfully idiosyncratic delivery. (More singers should pronounce “naturally” as Alana does in “The Wire.”)

Savvy recyclers committed to their own era, they make what worked yesterday work again today.

CAGE THE ELEPHANT “Melophobia” (RCA) 3 stars

It’s hard to think of many peers for Cage the Elephant. They’re a young Kentucky rock band riffing on Zep and garage-punk without retro nostalgia; whip-smart songwriters un-beloved by hipsters; rock-radio hit-

makers who play with the unhinged mania of a ware-house set. On “Melophobia” they’re in a class of their own among big, unit-shifting rock bands who can play with the scrap and imagination of van-tour vermin.

“Melophobia” is a bit more stoned and mellow than their raucous breakthrough “Thank You, Happy Birth-day,” but daydreams suit them just fine. “Spiderhead” is a great blast of paranoia, and “teeth” comes the closest of any contemporaries to evoking to ghosts of Jack & Meg White. “Take It or Leave It” breaks ESG’s punk sass down to its parts and rebuilds it as a loopy, frac-tured funk.

How do you peg all this on the bombed-out major label landscape? Who knows. Let’s just be glad to have such imagination on our drive time rock radio again.
