They are supposed to, in turn, be big and strong; women are then supposed to be dainty and petite. In the dating process, men and women both perpetuate this notion by eliminating people who won’t help them achieve the status quo visual. But what is to be done?

Earlier this week Petra Laszlo , a camerawoman for Hungarian news station N1TV, was filmed kicking and tripping refugees at the Hungarian-Serbian border. The refugees, largely from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, had broken through a police border, and were attempting to move through Hungary with the hopes of reaching Germany.

“...the ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign hat first worn in July by Donald J. Trump in Laredo, Tex., and since spotted on hipsters from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles and in the football locker of Tom Brady, not to mention on the heads of the hundreds of Trump loyalists at his rallies. ‘I was certainly surprised to the extent it caught on,’ Mr. Trump said in a phone interview last week. ‘It’s become the hottest fashion item there is.’ The New York Times declares a hat to be the accessory of the season.

Soon you’ll have the chance to see a hologram of Whitney Houston perform all of the singer’s greatest hits.

As always, these are real e-mails from real readers.

Once upon a time, Jessica Simpson was married to Nick Lachey. The two had a reality show where Simpson said silly things and Lachey rolled his eyes a lot. Now they’re divorced, married to other people, and Simpson has made herself very rich by selling shoes and clothes. Since Simpson is a successful business woman, she appears on shows like CNBC’s Closing Bell. On Thursday’s Closing Bell, host Kelly Evans interviewed Simpson about her fashion brand, and the singer/actress admitted that she had... Читать дальше...

Givenchy’s first-ever show during New York Fashion Week was meant to mark its new Manhattan flagship store, and in the spirit of giving they raffled off tickets on their website to commoners with trigger internet-fingers. But the scene was anything but normal: with an hourlong performance art intro directed by Marina Abramovic, and including a couple locked in a tense embrace with One World Trade Center looming in the background as a Buddhist monk sang a mantra, it was a tribute to 9/11, a day when...

Crossfit at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The gift shop at the 9/11 museum. Misting showers at Auschwitz. Inappropriate and thoughtless choices are being made everywhere you look, and so-called sacred spaces are no exception. So tell us, what’s the most sacrilegious thing you’ve ever witnessed? Or—better yet—what’s the most sacrilegious thing you’ve ever done?

Are you there, tech gods? It’s me, Bobby. Why are there so many holograms of dead celebrities? Does making holograms of dead celebrities and selling tickets to performances by those holograms of dead celebrities make you feel good? Does it make any audiences feel good?

Are you thinking about giving up on something? Well, consider these bears. Consider this one bear. The bear who had a dream. A dream of sitting in a hammock. Because bears don’t get to “do that.”

What would Donald Trump be like as president? Probably a lot like what he’s like as a father—creepy, controlling and inappropriate as hell. OMG DAD GET OUT OF MY ROOM, the country will probably scream—to no avail. ‘Cause he likes what he sees and he’s not done looking.

Last season, Andrea Jiapei Li debuted the now-classic (in my heart) “cozy ghost” look during her spot on V-Files’ show, featuring the best rubbery oversized pullover sweatshirt tent . For Spring 2016, themed “Just Kids,” the New York designer sheared down the material and showed superhuman downtown droid chicas, equally inspiring and bubbling over with cool ideation.
