[CULT TALK] Christopher Owens Isn’t All That Tragic, Really
The world is constantly taking me by surprise. (I say “oh” a lot more than most people). Take Christopher Owens for example. The former Girls front man is steeped in his own mythology, which alternately positions him as a tragic hero who overcame the adversity of a difficult upbringing (Owens was raised in the infamous...

It’s Friday – and not just any Friday. This weekend is both Easter & 4/20, so pretty much there’s seriously no reason for your brain to be functioning. I mean, I’m at an office right now, and I’ve already thrown back two mimosas if that’s any indication of my state of mind (it really shouldn’t...

[WANDERING EYE] Femme Photog Adri Law
Welcome to Wandering Eye, a new photo series in which we shut up (after this intro) and let talented shutterthugs (oh nothing, just a new word we’re trying out) show us the rad/hot/naked/dope/gritty/expensive/dirty/depressing stuff they look at, and then we ask them a few questions about it. Today’s eyeball is attached to the face of Adri...

[GIRL ON GIRLS] Ten Reasons Why Hannah Horvath And I Are The Same Person
I don’t feel like I need to add an intro to this piece, as it’s a pretty self-explanatory, highly narcissistic piece of bloggery/doggerel. I do want to mention that I LOVE YOU LENA DUNHAM PLEASE LET ME BE YOUR INTERN OR FULL-TIME PANTS HOLDER OR SOMETHING ANYTHING. Also, not included in this list is the...

[7 QUESTIONS IN HEAVEN, 8 IF YOU COUNT SELFIE SOLICITATION] Jenn AKA Camraface
I’ve only exchanged a few brief emails with Jenn AKA Camraface, but I can already tell that she possesses a certain kind of confidence and ease with her subjects that can’t be faked. I came across her work on Instagram — which is rapidly becoming the best way to discover inspiring artists and photographers these...

We like when people send us things, like records, sunglasses, snacks, love letters, fan mail, and photos. We’re not greedy, we just appreciate free stuff, okay? If we’re into what you send, like if it makes us laugh or cry or dance or smile or reminisce about how fucked up (in a good way) we...

We’ve featured the work of Aussie-photographer Renee Carey on Cultist Zine before, after I fell in love with her use of light, and the tomboy-ish-yet-vulnerable spirit of a particular editorial she shot for Oyster Magazine. Following the post, Renee graciously reached out to me via email to thank me for my words about her photography,...

I don’t have cable, which makes me sound a lot more intellectual than I actually am, because I do have Apple TV, which allows me to watch a lot of documentaries, which again makes me sound much more intellectual than I am, because mostly I watch things about dogs, cults, and sexual taboos, and not...

Hi, it’s me again, with your weekly dose of Girls coverage feminist style. We’ve got a lot to cover this week, and we feminists aren’t exactly known for our brevity, so let’s do this shit. This past episode, Hannah and her dating disasters were borderline unbearable to watch, but they do bring up some good...

Hey, I’m Lauren, the new Cultist intern, here to point out all the things that make Jane a bad feminist. (Ed Note: I made her say that. BTW this is Jane, not Yasi, I told Yasi to butt out for a minute). I like plaid, girl bands and caffeine-induced rants. This is just the...

Thanks to the Internet, not only are we able to more easily monitor the behaviors of our exes without fear of restraining orders, we’re also more likely to fall in to the trap of paying money to see a band that rips our hearts out on Spotify and then totally deflates our dreams with 45...
