Bitch Please

Caroline Ryder
What's gayer than Jeffree Star turning up at the Abbey on Friday with a Tarina Tarantino haircut and Perez Hilton on his arm? Or gayer than the parents of Mormon teenager Rebeka Rice, who are suing her school because she used the phrase "that's so gay"? I'll tell you -......

Auto Motives

I saw Lily Allen play her first L.A. show in October. A dancehall Holly Golightly, all hoop earrings and baby fat, she had charmed me on the radio with her bouncy white-girl reggae and neo-cockney wit — “Oh my gosh you must be joking me/If you think that you’ll be......

Cashmere Alert! Sale Tomorrow!

Caroline Ryder
Wearing cashmere makes me feel validated. Empowered. Like a big girl. So when I noticed my roommate floating around the house in beautiful knitted wraps and diaphanous-sleeved sweaters, I had to find out where she got 'em from. Turns out they are made by Amo and Bretti, the cashmere line......
