Three Jewelry Designers in One Rock Band Open Ocean

Edited by

The fine women you see below jamming on their American opus  Shiny Gun are the band Open Ocean. All with southern roots and Brooklyn homes, they also all happen to be independent jewelry designers. Let me introduce to you: Dirty Librarian Chains on the keys, SFK on guitar and main vocals, Cheek-ie on drums. Basil Whatley grooves on bass and is also from the south, but does not make jewelry, and thus not in the shot. Though he is a badass graphic designer. I crashed their rehearsal the other night at Sound City in Williamsburg, and caught a short vid of the waves of cool funk and post-punk disco rising in the intimate practice space. Pardon any rockiness, it was making my body bounce.

The Ladies Who Hunch: The Best and Worst Selling Cover Girls (and Boys) of the Year

Edited by

Some gals got it and some gals would sell their first born just to get it — that “je ne sais quoi”, that “It” factor that makes men want them, women want to be them, and magazine editors want to put them on their covers. But even with that hard-to-categorize quality, the magic can fall short. Some gals can sell a magazine and some gals should stick to their day jobs, starring in movies, recording dance-pop hits and whoring their lives out on basic cable. Assembled here are the biggest winners and losers of the Great Magazine Cover War of 2011.

I’m Ready for My Close-Up, Mr. Testino: The 10 Most Editorial Actresses

Edited by

Anna Wintour has been credited/blamed/lauded/criticized for the current proliferation of celebrity-driven magazine covers of the past 15 years or so. Love it or hate it, a model has a better chance winning a Pulitzer than landing a U.S. Vogue cover — with a few notable exceptions. While stars are rightfully and contractually beautiful, however, not all of them can cut the couture mustard. Then there are those ladies who love the camera and the camera is kind of obsessed with them. Here, the 10 actresses who give the best editorial — and give models a run for their money — are given the countdown treatment.

Kids Be Cute: Lanvin and H&M Forcing Us to Care About Children

Edited by

Just look at those little punims! Ugh, I’m nauseous. Not gonna lie to ya, I’ve never liked kids. Even when I was a kid, I didn’t much care for them. What, you have to run around screaming and laughing all the time? What’s wrong with sitting down and quietly paging through a Vogue? However, with Lanvin‘s irressitibly cute new children’s line and this mini-Benetton-esque ad for H&M‘s All for Children collection, my icy heart is beginning to melt. Slowly.

7 Fashionistas Disguised as Actresses

Edited by

Now that awards season has descended upon us all like a blizzard of sequins and tulle, the nation’s red carpets will be crowded with starlets jockeying for attention. Some of them will be there with acceptance speeches in tow, and others will just be happy to be nominated. Then there are those so-called actresses who barely go to the movies let alone star in them, yet are there because they love wearing gowns, heels and chandelier earrings. Their presence is not offensive, rather, they are often among the best dressed…but I defy you to name one movie you’ve seen them in within the last year.
