[CULT TALK] 9 Questions With Lydia Ainsworth, 2 About Halloween
I discovered Canadian artist (and Grimes label-mate) Lydia Ainsworth’s music a few months ago, right around Halloween, and was immediately stirred by her icy, entrancing vocals. Her modern, otherworldly take on classical music (she taught herself to play the cello at age 10) is the perfect accompaniment to the eeriness of a rainy day and the...

[CULT TALK] Some Questions We Want To Ask Lydia Ainsworth, But Haven’t Yet
We haven’t yet gotten a chance to interview our new obsession, Toronto/Brooklyn artist Lydia Ainsworth, but when the time comes for us to meet, you can bet we’ll be prepared with questions. The composer/producer/singer has been making orchestral, enchanting, haunting, cinematic songs on Arbutus Records (home to Grimes); songs like “Hologram” off of her recently released...

[CONFESSAY] The Devil Poops in Prada
Everybody poops. Even long-legged women wearing Comme des Garçons and Prada and silver stilettos with square emoji blocks on them. This is something you learn early on, and must navigate with grace and poor taste jokes when you work in the fashion business, in an office that is staffed predominantly with women. Fact: women in...

[BEST SONG EVER] Charli XCX “Break The Rules”
Before I dish on how much I love Charli XCX’s new track “Break The Rules,” let’s just agree to agree on how pathetic it is that I, a painfully (err gainfully) employed 28-year-old woman, feel a deep and meaningful connection to this rebellious anthem for back to school blues. Okay, now that we’ve established...

In case you missed it, Gisele goes basically bald for Balenciaga, and armpit hair is becoming a much-loathed trend. Read all about it in this week’s recap of things that happened in the world of women. 1. ‘ No Body Talk’ Summer Camps I recently wrote a piece calling out the potentially poisonous toxicity levels of...

Is it just me or is downtown LA just getting better and less terrifying every single day? I mean, yes, in some parts, the urine stench is so intense that you’re pretty sure your whole pH balance has been altered just by walking down an alleyway, but, at least you can walk down an alleyway...

The other night, I was with a group of women at an Italian restaurant. One woman was on the second night of a three day cleanse, and two had “Already eaten a gigantic meal of Thai food. Why did I do that? I wish I hadn’t done that,” earlier in the evening. So that...

[FASHUN] Photographer Yumna Al-Arashi Makes Tevas Look Good
The hierarchy of socially acceptable comfort footwear is as follows: Fuzzy Celine slides > Birkenstocks > Tevas > Crocs. But after announcing their crunchy collaboration with Opening Ceremony (dropping May 23), Teva is making a major play for that #1 orthopedic-chic spot. What was once just reserved for Berkeley hippies, eccentric art teachers, and un-ironic...

I know it’s Monday and y’all are barely 3 sips into your morning coffee (unless you attended Yasi’s bday at Cha Cha last night, in which case you’re still deep in a whiskey and taco truck slumber), but it’s time to wake up and talk about Vagina. It’s recently been brought to my attention that...
