That Time I Read Cosmo – and Unleashed a Hurricane of Judgment on Them

I have never been the biggest fan of Cosmopolitan magazine, mainly because it looks so intimidating. What business do I have reading about “50 new moves that will keep you and your man red hot in the bedroom this winter” , or anything else along those lines? I haven’t done any conclusive research, but IContinue reading “That Time I Read Cosmo – and Unleashed a Hurricane of Judgment on Them”

[Magazines]: The Final Print Edition of COMPANY

About two months ago, Company magazine announced that it would no longer be publishing print editions. I am aware that the magazine industry is in the throes of something of a “digital revolution”, but it still surprises me whenever a publication announces that it is going out of print.

What To Listen To Now: Beatenberg

I was at PUMA Social Club last Friday for the first time in a long time, and I am so glad that I got to see Beatenberg perform. I had never heard of them before I saw the line up for PUMA Social, so I consulted the wisest music guru I know, YouTube. This CapeContinue reading “What To Listen To Now: Beatenberg”

HB(I)C: Helena Bonham Carter for British Vogue

First, let’s acknowledge that Helena Bonham Carter has an amazing name. It just sounds like the best name for someone talented and famous; I think it’s the “Bonham”- a middle name makes all the difference. She also played the Queen of Hearts in Alice In Wonderland and does the red carpet like no one elseContinue reading “HB(I)C: Helena Bonham Carter for British Vogue”
