Read MoreKate Moss Loves Her Diet Coke in ES Magazine July 22 by Quentin Jones
/
Legendary 1990s supermodel Kate Moss was recently named the new creative director of Diet Coke. The brand says it tapped her for her “unique aesthetic and style”, a heritage Moss owned as she delivered four limited edition cans of Diet Coke in London this week.
ES Magazine editor Ben Cobb visited Kate in at her west London home.
LOL. Kate Moss is a good little woman, though. Or perhaps Cobb is really special. “during our chat, she keeps my glass of water filled with ice, running back to an American-sized fridge” . .
Yes, yes . . . there’s plenty of Diet Coke in the refrigerator. Cobb spies it chilling there. Wait . . . oh wait . . . Kate Moss “struggles to open the door.” LOL. How old is this guy? I expect him to jump up and save Kate from the big, bad fridge any minute. She is a real-deal damsel in distress.
Read MoreWhich Luxury Bags Speak to You: Golden Goose or Celine?
/
In the world of bags, the luxury buyer has many to choose from. I chose these two brands — Golden Goose and Celine — not for the cool factor, but to speak to their brand DNA. Reality is that when one is spending many hundreds or thousands of dollars for a bag or leather accessory, the 2022 customer is more eager than ever before to know the story behind the brand, the ethics and sustainability initiatives employed by the owners, and how the brand reflects us — the buyers.

/
I know we are all very rattled over the anti-trans legislation in red states, but then Roe got shot down, too. AOC’s activism is very focused on Christian fascism and white nationalism in this moment. The end of our imperfect democracy is in sight — if we don’t fight this back by the 2024 election.
People I respect say “It’s do or die time,” and they are not exaggerating.
AOC is not worried about “he, she, it, they, them . . . “ in this moment. We are focused on the American Taliban increasingly riding roughshod over all of us. No disrespect intended to pronouns.

/
Hyperpigmentation is the number one skin concern among women of color. Melanin plays a big role in how the skin functions, and it reacts differently to inflammation, UV light, hydration and even active skincare ingredients. What EADEM is wrestling with in the product development universe is far more complex than sunscreen products for women of color.
Read MoreWSJ Condemns New York's 'Massive Resistance' to SC Guns Galore Across America Ruling
/
Just today -- before Highland Park assault -- I queried the prevalence of muskets on the street at the time the Constitution was written. Did our founders really stroll around town with their muskets strapped on their backs.?
The answer is no, no, no. [Edited]: About. 50% of households probated had guns, with the numbers varying by state. But there is no evidence that guns were carried around on citizens backs — as states like Texas now demand the right for AF-15 assault rifles to be carried anywhere, no questions asked.
Until he blows me up, only his rights count, supporting a reality that never existed in colonial America. Just like abortion was widely practiced AND advertised on lamp poles. You originalists have really sold America a pack of lies, and I have no idea how to fight back.
