Chloe Malle, the daughter of the celebrated actress Candice Bergen and filmmaker Louis Malle, has been promoted to take the job – ish – of Vogue departing editrix Anna Wintour effective immediately. Malle, who has been at the Condé Nast title since 2011 and serving as editor of Vogue.com since 2023, began her introduction as […]

Why are people so pressed about and focused on Bennifer, when there’s a big ol’ Diddy right there?
We Are World Central Kitchen
The fact that a convoy of World Central Kitchen workers – a flagless, borderless non-profit with a focused mission to help feed humans in moments of crisis – was stomped out of existence, that peace seeking was snuffed so cavalierly, cannot be ignored. All they do is help, boots on the ground, everyone everywhere, without […]
We with It
I have been saying – and writing…for the record – that the shit’s like The Day After Tomorrow for a minute now. In print, at least three years, since I became King. Of Cups. Now that we are paying attention, know that the media are gonna go beyond with the coverage, making it seem like […]
Traveler Check
There we were summer of 2018, roaming the cloisters of the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, Portugal, when news broke that Anthony Bourdain had died. I found solace, reading word of his suicide on my phone, in that we were doing exactly what he had spent the latter part of his life advocating we all do, […]
Totes Original
Artists trying to make it helping others artists trying to make it – that’s what this is all about, OK. Look, all I ever wanted to do was to come to this country and write (and I did and I did…and I am). I never wanted to do anything else. Now, the only thing more […]

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Month 5. Month 5 who?

Pandemic Peeps: E
Time for a little math. Previously on the pandemic, we were more than a quarter of the year into a global shutdown brought on by the relentless COVID-19 novel coronavirus that’s become one of the banes of our 2020 existence. Now, less than two weeks from the start of Month 4 of our ongoing season […]
The DREAM Lives
Nice try. Now back it up. Today the Supreme Court of the United States surprised again, after it ruled on another eagerly anticipated decision, one concerning the Barack Obama-era DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) American immigration policy, which since summer 2012 has provided close to 700,000 (known) young DREAMers respite from deportation. Swinging toward […]
Workplace Equality Wins!
It’s beyond-official, America (at least, it better be): The Supreme Court of the United States ruled today, in a surprising 6-3 decision, that you may not, cannot discriminate against the queer community in the workplace ever again. You couldn’t yesterday (so fuck you for trying); you cannot today; and you cannot tomorrow – so don’t. […]
