Kim Kardashian’s underwear brand SKIMS mixes two real-life, smoldering women friends Megan Fox and Kourtney Kardashian in this sensual cotton feast.

Add bare apples and cherries. but no extravagant recipes please. Olga’s cherry and apple galette sounds mouthwatering, but let’s keep this intimate film out of the kitchen. We’re not shooting ‘9 1/2 Weeks’ here, although the Kardashian sisters might consider a role-reversal remake. If anybody can pull it off, they can.

Artist and photographer Donna Trope is actually shooting a lot more SKIMS, based on her IG. Subversive but with perfect pitch.

Carlijn Jacobs Captures 'Island Life' in Barbados for Dazed Magazine Autumn 2021

Carlijn Jacobs Captures 'Island Life' in Barbados for Dazed Magazine Autumn 2021 AOC Fashion

AOC has praised W Magazine’s current Fall 2021 issue, and we must not neglect the Dazed Autumn 2021 issue. Ib Kamara is doing a fantastic job as the new editor in chief. I’ve read that the styling is too costumey and will just hop over that comment. Call AOC in love with the global village styling or theatrical styling direction of Kamara’s vision.

It’s through embracing some of these mixes that wearers create more relatable translations of the Dazed stories — in this case ‘Island Life’, styled by Imruh Asha and shot in Barbados by Carlijn Jacobs [IG].

I will never forget my partner grabbing his daughter’s life preserver and putting it on his head as he started a Conga line with his son and daughter in a very posh resort in Trinidad. It was amazing how they brought strangers together as more and more people joined into their musical celebration of evening.

I hate to tell stuffy white people that the creative celebration of joy that is the bedrock of Black and Brown life is just getting started. You don’t have to jump on this train, but I am positive that we are looking at a long run.
