The Weeknd low-key dying was the best part of this.

This is not couture - it’s ready-to-wear and while the models have a fitting before the show, there often is no time to make big adjustments. The clothes are usually made on a ‘fitting model’, one girl. Plus, during the casting/fitting the girls will only walk a few steps in a studio - very different from walking on a…

It reminds me of how real estate agencies have been and continue to be perpetrators of systemic racism.

I was walking down Vine in Hollywood, on my way to Trader Joe’s after a long sweaty day working at a DV shelter in the Valley. I had to wear a back brace because I have scoliosis that was never addressed because I only had insurance on and off as a child. I was painfully aware of how horrible I looked, in pain,…

It’s hard to judge the backlash of Patricia’s speech when her comments after the fact were so tone deaf. The speech was great but I wonder how many of the negative consequences she’s had actually come from the post speech.

Thank you for saying this. I most frequently (among my very southern relatives and neighbors) hear “bless your heart” as a sincere expression of sympathy or concern.

Everyone says Bill Clinton can make you feel like you’re the only person in the world. It may only be for a moment, but it’s a powerful rush.

A friend of mine once shook Bill Clinton’s hand at the White House. This is the story of hearing that story...

Here’s what this piece misses. Rich kids whose parents pay for their lives, love to pretend that they’re not rich kids. They want to walk around and feel like they’re struggling young professionals making it on their own. That’s the fantasy.

Actually, I thought her clothing was very much a tribute to the Thin White Duke’s outfit. So yes, not about her, but sort of a more subtle nod to Bowie.

Side effects? Sexual nightmares and sleep crime.
