Did you think that the zombie stuff would go away now that Halloween is over? If so, then you clearly don't know how popular donning fake blood and walking with a limp has become with the 18-25 crowd. As a part of their "First Fridays" series, The Loom (a collective of independent stores selling everything from handmade clothing to refurbished mopeds) hosted a Zombie Fashion Show to showcase fashions from Better Than Jam. The designs even caught the attention of some young Jewish kids, who managed to sneak out from their Shabbat dinner at the Chabad House of Bushwick in the Loom to check out the show.

Guggenheim's Catherine Opie Mid-Career Survey
The revolving hotel room that's part of theanyspacewhatever exhibit at the Guggenheim isn't the only noteworthy work on view at the moment; through January the museum is hosting a mid-career survey of Catherine Opie, who's known for her striking photographs of diverse subjects ranging from Minnesota ice fishers to the west coast L.G.B.T. community.
Pencil This In
READINGS: Nostalgics from the Clinton era, unite! Head down to the 17th St. Barnes & Noble tonight to hear the dulcet (okay, maybe not) voices of Paul Begala and James Carville, together in their new book, Take It Back: Our Party, Our Country, Our Future. According to the Washington Post, "the book is most convincing when it is most elitist -- a kind of 'why can't anyone play this game' attack on the Democratic Party's inability to find strategists as talented as they are." Sounds Clintonian, and the reading should be fun. - Krissa Corbett Cavouras
