Quarantine Chic
How green is your catwalk? How sustainable is your vision? How circular is your economy? These were the questions Vogue found dominating the Spring 2020 catwalks back in October 2019. They were legitimate questions and ones that once again will need answering. But not right now. Time, like fashion, changes quickly and these questions are […]
Hair today, Gone tomorrow
Make me bald. Seriously. All of me. Make every last inch of my body hairless so that I resemble a slippery seal. In fact, make everyone bald. Life would just be so much easier if none of us had hair. Anywhere. From where I am lying in my bed I can see a long strand […]

Rising of a new Mooncup
With the start of a new year comes a new moon and with a new moon comes the Mooncup. An incredibly tenuous, if not completely unrelatable, linking of January and a sanitary product but I’m sticking with it because I want to talk about the Mooncup. No, I NEED to talk about the Mooncup. First […]
