Monsters Under Beds: A Photographic Tour

November 22, 2009 - Features, Media

There is an old Southern saying that claims “You can tell everything about a man by what’s under his bed.” In fact, Southern women would always advise their daughters to peek under a suitor’s bed before agreeing to marry them. While this tradition has since fallen out of favor in most circles and been reincarnated by MTV’s “Room Raiders,” The Pelican ventured to revive this charming Southern practice with a Paulie twist. Plainly, we went under students’ beds with digital cameras, and went crazy. What’s under the beds of SPS? Your burning question has finally been answered.

“Choose” is a popular word in political slogans: “Choose Life,” “Choose Hope,” “Choose Freedom.” Eliana has decisively cast her vote: Choose Juicy. It is a bold political statement: Juicy’s stance on tank top reform has been referred to as “controversial.”

It’s just a folded up table and some poster tubes – during the day. But when we turned out the lights, a denizen of the deep crept out from its lair. Emily’s roommate refuses to believe her stories about monsters under her bed, but this photograph seems to be conclusive.

If this exposé were a competition, Talia would score big points for her vibrant use of print motifs. The underside of Talia’s bed is a breath of fresh air from the sea of Rubbermaids and duffel bags. Talia also has a surprisingly large array of health food in one of her bins – although the author would highly recommend adding GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60™ (Chocolate Flavor) to her regimen of vitamins and supplements.

Only in your wildest dreams could you have a setup like this under your bed. There is a strobe light and a colored LED ball just waiting for the first ever under-bed rave. A feathered and bejeweled mask adds mystique. There is an official SPS red bracelet to show his school spirit and an apple from a fruit basket sent by an anonymous donor.
