Bee, Samantha

When Donald Trump declined to appear at the White House Correspondents Dinner, political commentator and comedian Samantha Bee of Full Frontal, unsure the Correspondents Dinner would proceed at all, decided to host her own event: Not the White House Correspondents Dinner. And in doing so, she carved out a space for women’s voices in the political conversation.

Genius, Perfume

The new Perfume Genius record No Shape, out this Friday, is some of musician Mike Hadreas’s boldest, most adventurous, sonically complex material yet—and it emerged out of the musician’s challenge to embrace finally feeling okay.

Kawakubo, Rei

On the eve of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute retrospective of Rei Kawakubo’s Comme des Garçons, a look back on her career spent defying the norms of fashion and subverting the very idea of a silhouette.

Rose, Monica

Reportedly fired by her longtime styling clients, the Kardashian family—and all five sisters appear to have unfollowed her on Instagram. Shots fired.

Schilling, Taylor

The Orange Is the New Black star doesn’t get to the movies all that much, but she’s making up for lost time on the Dave Eggers front.
