Billie Eilish in British GQ July-August 2020 | Eilish Supports Black Lives Matter
Billie Eilish covers the July/August 2020 issue of British GQ. Danielle Levitt is behind the lens with styling by Samantha Burkhart.
If you’ve never read a Billie Eilish interview, then this one is for you.
Written by Jonathan Heaf, it’s long and very in-depth. In 2019 at age 17, Billie Ailish’s album sold more than any other in America and she hit six billion streams on Spotify. This year she is tagged as the youngest artist to win four Grammys at once. And her classic Bond theme ‘No Time To Die’ morphs into a Boomer-approved musical panorama with widespread appeal.
At this moment (6/16/2020 2:07 PM) Billie Eilish is in a rage over the Friday night murder of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta. Generally-speaking Eilish has joined the army of white people disgusted with white people. AOC has been in that camp since our founding in 2007, and we’re devoted to turning the tide of racism in America and beyond.

'Valley of the Dolls' Is No Accident in Sydney Sweeney's Savage X Fenty Campaign
The boys club led by Gore Vidal, and Truman Capote totally panned ‘Valley of the Dolls’, turning up the heat on author Jacqueline Susann, saying she looked like a “truck driver in drag” on The Tonight Show. Other critics said Susann must have written her best seller on a “cash register.”
Vice generously provides a key link to a 2000 Vanity Fair article ‘Once Was Never Enough’ about Susann’s life pre and post dolls. She died an early death from breast cancer , saying “Yeah, I think I’ll be remembered . . . as the voice of the 60s . . . Andy Warhol, the Beatles and me.”
Besides the obvious connection that the drug scene is at play in ‘Euphoria’, with Sydney Sweeney’s character Cassie having lived in Susann’s head, consider also that Rihanna is channeling Susann here. The author’s response to critics of her tacky, talentless self was “Too many male writers are writing for the critics,” she declared. “I write for the public.”
Susann’s feminist success was a precursor to Rihanna’s own self-created success in business, not only the music industry. Riri brings the same “I create for the people” attitude to everything she does. Last week, Rihanna made her debut on ‘The Sunday Times Rich list. Her third place spot on the richest musicians list had her overtaking legends Elton John and Mick Jagger.
