2007-2019 Daily excerpts of new fashion, culture, lifestyle, activism and women's news posts. Continues on current AOC Daily.
Model Agyness Deyn gets the royal treatment, styled by Miranda Almond in 'Keys to the Kingdom'. Photographer Richard Phibbs flashes the editorial featuring Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda and Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria in the first-ever shoot at Hampton Court Palace for Town & Country Magazine's Spring 2018 issue.
Singer, philanthropist, yummy mummy, actor and madly-in-love super femme Jennifer Lopez is styled by Joanna Hillman in Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas-worthy confections from Carolina Herrera, Saint Laurent, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta and more. Lopez opens up about how she balances on the tightrope of life with A-Rod in J. Lo's Flying High, lensed by Mariano Vivanco for Harper's Bazaar US April 2018.
“I’m a workaholic,” Lopez says bluntly in her interview with Isabel González Whitaker . “My instinct is to fill every single minute of my life with work, so I’ve had to learn balance. When you take on too much, that can be the enemy of great.” On the last point, Rodriguez begs to differ: She may be a perfectionist, he says, but that quality is part of the magic that sets her apart from everyone else. “I watched her singing and dancing and practicing until one in the morning the other night,” he says, when called the day before her pre–Super Bowl concert. “She kept saying, ‘Let’s run through it again.’ I think I heard her say that 45 times. Her thirst for perfection is just awesome to watch.” So what drives all that fierce energy? “I’m not one of those media darlings,” Lopez says. “I didn’t get kissed into this business. I’m from the Bronx. I had to find my way, so I’ve always felt like I had to prove myself. Maybe that’s a good drive to have. I never settle for mediocre.”
I'm not sure if actor, activist and new Louis Vuitton muse Emma Stone's first Spirit of Travel Campaign 2018 is the most anemic campaign ever, but it's a tough rival for the honor. Set in the California desert, we see "a spectacular landscape that blends raw space and travel". Okay, if you say so.
"I am very happy and proud to be working with a House as passionate as Louis Vuitton, as well as with the unique style and creations of Nicolas Ghesquière” says Emma Stone.
Stone's first Louis Vuitton Spirit of Travel campaign "showcases the actress wearing pieces from the Prefall 2018 collection and embodying a heroine who is daring, confident and always on the move. " Okay, if you say so.
This Travel campaign highlights the Capucines bags: a signature of discreet elegance, Capucines represents the spirit of the House and its expertise in leather craftwork. Note that this out-of-gas campaign is not the fault of Emma Stone. Rather, photographer Craig McDean and Nicolas Ghesquière bear responsibility and also upper management at LVMH, who I assume saw it. As for poor Emma Stone, she is frozen in time.

Photographer Claire Rothstein has launched Girls Girls Girls magazine, a sex-bomb explosion that plays into every stereotype out there.
Consider that white girls get brainwashed, too. I know that reality doesn't fit the stereotype of bad girl Becky, but methinks something REAL interesting is afoot here, and I might just love it.
After all, Becky has born the responsibility for the downfall of civilization since the day Lilith stormed out of the garden of Eden. It's much easier to go after Becky than deal with the real human problems on our planet.
As you see, though, Becky has a few friends. And together we will fight forward. So pack up your trash-talking Becky crap and get out of the way Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour. Large numbers of women have -- especially Beckys -- have work to do -- TOGETHER.
Our first editorial from Girls Girls Girls features models Ajak Deng and Linda Helena, styled by Alicia Lombardini in denim blues. Claire Rothstein is behind the lens. Hair by Charles McNair; makeup by Mark Edio.

Presidential daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump filed on Thursday for an uncontested divorce from husband Donald Trump Jr. in Manhattan Supreme Court.
"After 12 years of marriage, we have decided to go our separate ways," the couple said in a joint statement. "We will always have tremendous respect for each other and our families. We have five beautiful children together and they remain our top priority. We ask for your privacy during this time."
Vanessa Trump hired New York based-criminal defense attorney David Feureisen to represent her as reports broke that special counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed the Trump Organizations records for his investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Kendall Jenner & Cockatoo Sit Pretty For Vogue US April 2018, Lensed By Mert & Marcus
Kendall Jenner covers the April 2018 edition of Vogue US. Tonne Goodman chooses flower power looks from Maison Margiela, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Rodarte. and more for images by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. / Hair by Paul Hanlon; makeup by Lauren Parsons
Jenner shares the covers with a yellow-crested cockatoo, which sits pretty with her pink Chanel tulle gown with a silver octopus cocktail ring. The Jakarta Post reported in April 2017 that populations of the yellowcrested cockatoo on several islands are critically endangered due to massive exploitation. Anna Relueaux from Manchester Metropolitan University is a lead researcher on the critically endangered species native to Indonesia and Timor Leste. Learn more about protecting cockatoos.
Kendall takes readers to her horse barn in the gated community of Bell Canyon, Ca. to meet Belle and Dylan. Returning in her Range Rover, Jonathan van Meter asks Kendall why the internet think she's gay.
She laughs. “I think it’s because I’m not like all my other sisters, who are like, ‘Here’s me and my boyfriend!’ So it was a thing for a minute because no one ever saw me with a guy. I would always go that extra mile to be low-key with guys, sneaking around all the time. You don’t want to, like, look crazy.”
She pulls onto the freeway, and within seconds we’re going 90 mph. Kendall goes on: “I don’t think I have a bisexual or gay bone in my body, but I don’t know! Who knows?! I’m all down for experience—not against it whatsoever—but I’ve never been there before.” She ponders it for a moment. “Also, I know I have kind of a . . . male energy? But I don’t want to say that wrong, because I’m not transgender or anything. But I have a tough energy. I move differently. But to answer your question: I’m not gay. I have literally nothing to hide.” She lets out a mordant chuckle. “I would never hide something like that.”
The interview does touch on all Jenner's bad publicity on her Pepsi ad and Vogue India cover. No word yet, if she's getting roasted over the cockatoo.

Kim Kardashian West At Home With Boo George In ELLE US April 2018 Cover Interview
The knives are already out again for Kim Kardashian, with her Elle US April US cover story. Forget Kim's jaw-dropping, photographer Boo George cover image that leaves any fashionista worth her reputation in awe. Come on, now!!! Either give the woman a nod for one great photo above, or send me your resume, so we can review your own credentials for ALWAYS shredding any image of Kim Kardashian, styled here by Anna Trevelyan.
I'm not even a Kardashian fan, although I do admire her talent, focus, self-discipline, business, family and body results. But reading the ruthless shredding of every action Kardashian takes is getting me downright empathetic towards the woman.
Embroiled in controversy around The Women's March this week -- triggered by Tamika Mallory's strong embrace of Rev. Louis Farrakhan -- (this article seems fair and balanced) I've been doing more reading than usual, noting that Kim Khardashian is considered to be a 'Beckeisha'. Writing for The Root, Michael Harriot breaks down The 5 Types of 'Becky': a white woman who uses her privilege as a weapon, a ladder or an excuse. Ex: “A random Becky hit me up on Twitter to explain why not all white women are racist.”
Part of the privilege of Beckydom rests in its members’ unflagging belief that everything belongs to them. For this subset of Beckys, culture, history and black penis are all disposable commodities for them to use and discard at their whim. In their belief system, you can’t be offended when they appropriate a culture or call something “ghetto,” because they don’t have a racist bone in their body. Plus, they once had a black boner inside their body, so how can they be racist?
Beckeishas slip on the temporary camouflage of black culture like a loose-fitting, swap-meet dashiki. They don’t consider themselves thieves; they are more like culture vultures—digesting dead black things until their bellies are filled, and then vomiting up the unwanted oppression and pain as they spread their wings and fly away. But you know what they say: Once you go black, you’ll never go back ...
... unless you’re a Beckeisha. Because they always go back. Because they can.
Identifying call: “I dated a black guy in college.”
Famous Beckeishas: Anyone with the last name “Kardashian”; Miley Cyrus; Rachel Dolezal; white girls who twerk.
Read the ELLE interview by Molly Young, one considerably more respectful toward KK than The Root. What's that movie -- 'What A Wonderful World?' We're livin' it! ~ Anne
