Over the past few years, online retailer Fashion Nova has been on a roll. The brand, which makes inexpensive, flimsy, tight clothing tailor-made for Instagram, has been championed by A-list celebrities and influencers alike. The brand offers attainable sex appeal, promising “real women” that they, too, can become immortal Instagram artworks without spending much money. […]
In a survey that provides mostly good news — teenagers are drinking less alcohol and trying fewer hard drugs — there is also the troubling finding that teenagers are vaping (both cannabis and nicotine) at almost twice the rate they were last year. The survey, which covered a nationally representative sample of eighth-, tenth-, and 12th-graders, […]
Almost 365 days have passed on that word-of-the-day calendar you keep forgetting to flip, and in that time, we’ve tested nearly as many beauty products (it’s probably actually been more). We’ve tried many that we’ve loved, and some that we’ve hated (and not written about). In the spirit of internet year-end roundups, here are a […]
Dear Polly, The world is burning and yet I can’t stop fixating on my graying hair. It’s stupid and vain, but I can’t stop. I’m naturally blonde, so it’s not immediately apparent.

Martha Stewart seems a little peeved that Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski didn’t tag her in Instagram pictures he posted of her horse stable and dogs. She has good reason: The holidays are for spreading cheer and social media followers. We know Queer Eye’s resident foodie can brag about the doneness of his pasta, so why […]
I love socks, especially ones that hit right between the ankle and the middle of your calf. I wear socks in the summer with sandals; I wear them walking around my house on cleaning day; in winter, I wear two on each foot. Cozy ankles are key to my happiness. So obviously, I feel like […]
Bobbi Salvör Menuez is standing on a table at Lee’s, an event space in Chinatown, in toe socks and a Fear Factor T-shirt, carefully sprinkling pigeon feathers around the place settings. “They’re from a friend’s rooftop coop in Bushwick,” they say, nudging a feather toward the centerpiece, a carefully considered mess of dirt, daisies, and metal containers, […]
Remember when it was your birthday and everyone use to write on your “wall” on Facebook? Well, that’s very over. It’s all elaborate tributes now, with friends, family, and maybe the occasional celebrity twins posting slideshows and video testimonials on Instagram in your honor, as though it was your wedding or early funeral, and not […]
Last night, horny icon Keri Russell, her new bangs, Adam Driver, Chewbacca, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, and famous droids walked a blue carpet in Hollywood for the world premiere of the ninth Star Wars installment, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. We don’t know much about Russell’s character, who seems to be perpetually […]
