I have been scouring thrift stores to restock books that I enjoyed as a youth for my children because Kindle will NOT be an option for my future children. Greenwitch and a whole horde of Trixie Belden books were recently returned back to my bookshelves! Still looking for the rest of Susan Coopers. Also Margaret Mahy…

I had the same side eye going on with my partner during most Sandra booty short cam shots. Like really?!? Must the camera caress every curve in this scene?!??! But maybe that says more about me than the film making. I don't recall seeing George Clooney or even the *spoiler* floating corpses get this kind of loving…

Is that Tavi Gevinson on the yellow dress? Cuz wow. Looks just like her and her hairbow.

I loved working with glam squad artists/stylists: mostly passionately, creative people who are genuinely appreciative to be a part of the whirlwind ride of their clients lives. Now their clients...being a part of the "charade" to help preserve insanely high egos, self esteem and wallets of the clients and/or their…

I use to manage celebrity glam squads for photos shoots, commercials and red carpets. Male celebrities/actors/musicians have both stylists AND groomers. The groomers tend to handle the shaving, moisturizing, light plucking and FINESSING of a man's face, neck and head/upper torso. The stylists (fashion) serve to find…

Really? I'm Black and Lovely and I've been going there since I was an undergrad in the late 90s. I visit Skylight weekly (while I'm probably buying a burger next door and I have exactly 15 minutes to hunt and purchase before my cat allergies flare up and I start dripping fluids all over the paper and snort hacking)…

I second Skylight Books for this visit. They have a store cat! Cats and books, win-win! Also I live down the street near the best ever Vista theatre so I wouldn't have to put on my driving bitchface to drive to the event. I guess what I am really saying is that the Grove is the LA version of Times Square - everyone…

Methinks it was a super illegal convert. I remember thinking that someone could either fit a bed/couch/desk or a fridge. It was Tokyo apartment small under 200 sq ft and shaped very weird. The manager proudly told applicants that a family of 3 (including a baby/toddler) lived in it with no fridge. It was my first time…

During the dot-com era (circa 1999), I lined up like all the other SF newbie renters to view several rental/apt shares including an unusable bathroom where I could use the tub as a bed. I shit you not, this was an option on early Craigslist. I only saw it because it was in the same Tenderloin area as all the other…

exactly. he shouldn't be blabbing around these details. after working on many shoots, one see that some editors go out and beyond for those celebs/musicians they'd love to work with again and again and again - and never complain about all the high maintenance bullshit that inevitably comes their way through such…

iving this nut his own cover with a byline that he was failed by all really highlights how shitty America is when juxtaposed with Trayvon Martin's story and this week's trial end. Two young men, one made even
younger and softer by his personal style, his attempts to begin a college education and older bro worship and…

Conflicted. This is the word I was searching for.

Actually know 5 gay male couples that have done this in San Francisco. Oddly enough, we met 3 of the couples with babies in tow for brunch this past winter. Cute kids! Happy families. Apparently it's a thing with high-earning Bay Area couples that want to parent. I have to admit it is surreal to have had this…

As a former talent agent, I have used IMDBPro in the past to create and update the artists' pages. I avoided entering things DOB, height, salary etc because Hollywood does discriminate - even for the freelance on-set staff I worked with wasn't safe from perceived irrelevance. We usually paid with the company credit…

Exactly. I saw this and wondered why is this even an article. Hayden has loads of issues - prolly like most people - and even though she's not lashing out wildly and publicly, this does not mean that she doesn't have a future of crazy antics ahead of her. Too soon.

I've been waiting for it! Try Lipstick Queen in Saint/Sinner Berry or Wine. Amazeballs.

No I get it. It's the only item in those kits that can efficiently accomodate a woman. Well, this woman. I hate men's shaving cream and plastic razors - and when/where the hell can I use that on a airplane/airport? I'd rather have a scent-free moisturizer, hand sanitizer and a lip balm in my toiletries kit.
