Cannes 2013 Best Dressed Ladies

Screen shot 2013-05-23 at 9.36.59 PM

Not surprisingly my favorite part of any major event like the premier of a movie is the chance to see what stars bring their A game when it comes to fashion and the 2013 Cannes Film Festival was no different. All of the actors, actresses, models, and directors flocked to France in order to attend the premier of huge hits, indie films, and...Read More!

Cosmopolitan and Its Ridiculous Headlines

Screen shot 2013-05-22 at 9.45.57 PM

When I first started telling people that I wanted to pursue writing, almost every single person asked me if I wanted to “write for a magazine, ya know, like Cosmo?” I kindly told all of these people that while I respect those writers and their choices, I truly believe I can contribute to the world in a better way than telling women the “27...Read More!

Pop Culture Heroine: Kate Bishop (Hawkeye)

Pop Culture Heroine: Kate Bishop (Hawkeye)

Okay, we know what you’re thinking — yes, Hawkeye is the character in Avengers with the bow and arrow. Yes, that makes him the least powerful of all the Avengers and the butt of every joke about the franchise. However, the character has an incredible sense of humor and pathos that the movies haven’t yet been able to feature. How do I know...Read More!

Up Front Week: What’s Heading to Our TV Screen in the Fall of 2013-2014

TV reporters, advertisers, media big heads, critics, and bloggers gathered last week to get a sneak peak of each network’s fall schedule. Executives introduced the lineup, discussed each show (new and old), the casts were introduced, clips were shown, and questions were asked. And this is when the “Buzz” begins or ends for certain shows....Read More!

Gender Violence: Eye Opening TED Talk by Jackson Katz Will Change the Way You Think Weight of the World: Zoe Saldana’s Weight “Featured” in Allure

Weight of the World: Zoe Saldana’s Weight “Featured” in Allure

Zoe Saldana is this month’s cover model for Allure magazine and her weight and her “grittiness” are the bylines.  I find it quite cliché that a magazine such as Allure would put an actress’ weight on the cover, but then do a do-si-do of a back step by pointing out just how “gritty” she is; as if that would make her weight less of a...Read More!

#Beautiful by Mariah Carey & Miguel: Can We have 90s Mariah Back?!

Mariah-Carey-Beautiful-ft-Miguel-Music-Screencaps-11

While I have come to actually like Mariah and Miguel‘s new single: “Beautiful” because Miguel’s cameo seems to dominate the whole single, I must admit I am extremely turned off by the actual video. It has taken me awhile to get over Miguel’s sex simulation on stage, and while I have come back to #TeamMiguel I am now...Read More!

Pop Culture Heroine: Nyota Uhura

“Star Trek: Into Darkness is one of the most highly anticipated sequels of this summer and for good reason! The previous franchise-rebooting 2009 movie was a surprise hit that’s reawakened a long dormant yet incredibly passionate fandom (speaking of, did you know that the very first modern fan-fiction was written by Star Trek fans?). But...Read More!

To Cup or Not To Cup: The A-List Health Trend That is Taking Over

To Cup or Not To Cup: The A-List Health Trend That is Taking Over

Cupping is not the new slang for holding something. It’s an alternative medical therapy from ancient Chinese culture. This oldie but goodie therapeutic practice has become quite popular among A-list stars. Dry cupping or fire cupping is the process of using a silicon or glass case that is then suctioned to your skin. It is said to relieve...Read More!
