Marc Jacobs is known for starting his New York Fashion Week runway shows precisely on time, down to the minute. He wasn’t always so punctual, but a particularly egregious wait time once forced Anna Wintour to lay down the law. For his spring 2019 runway show, though, Jacobs fell back into old patterns, running late […]
I Think About This a Lot is a series dedicated to private memes: images, videos, and other random trivia we are doomed to play forever on loop in our minds. “We can’t afford to shop at a store that has a philosophy,” Marge Simpson tells her family as they drive to a discount store to replace […]
Sandy Liang describes her personal style as “happy and comfy,” but she’s not talking about wearing sweatpants — her version of comfy involves glittery floor-length skirts and colorful faux-fur jackets. She does, however, love a good fleece jacket; in fact, she’s known for outfitting countless fashion girls in her sweatshirts, which come in colors like […]
I will absolutely not be seeing Pet Sematary (2019), the remake of Pet Sematary (1989), based on the 1983 Stephen King novel Pet Sematary, a decision I made after reading the Wikipedia pages for all three versions and deciding that it’s way too scary for me. I did, however, spend upward of 15 minutes staring […]
I have thousands of crushes — enough that if they all moved to Wyoming they could swing the state blue — and I love nothing more than to loan books to them. I’ve loaned men My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante, Flamethrowers by Rachel Kushner, and The Keys by DJ Khaled (I recommend it solely […]
It’s funny that mint, the plant, isn’t mint, the color, although both are similarly cheerful-seeming with a twisted secret. Mint the herb will take over most any container you plant it in, strangling its unsuspecting neighbor plants. Mint the color seems similarly harmless and fresh, but its irresistible creaminess is ultimately a little nauseating. Mint […]
“Powerhouse” is a term often applied to people who don’t deserve it, but I’d believe you if you told me that the word was invented for Tina Brown. Powerhouse perfectly encapsulates the level of energy she has had to summon for the past four decades at the top of some of the most prestigious media […]
The U.S. Attorney’s office announced on Monday that actress Felicity Huffman and 12 other parents will be pleading guilty for their alleged roles in a widespread scheme to bribe and scam their kids’ ways into prestigious universities. Full House actress Lori Loughlin and her designer husband Mossimo Giannulli have also been arrested as part of […]
It may not surprise you to learn that Unplanned, a bizarre anti-abortion propaganda film released last week in select theaters throughout the U.S., has not gotten great reviews. The Guardian called it “ridiculous,” “ham-handed” and “a gory mess;” The Hollywood Reporter wrote that it “resembles a basic cable television movie in its mediocre production values […]
Unfortunately — once again — it is Tuesday. True, it’s no longer Monday, and that’s nice, but most of the week lies ahead of us — if we ever get there, which feels unlikely, at this point, as Tuesday is everlasting. Surely by now it must be Thursday, you’re probably thinking. And yet — no. […]
