Lily James joins Gillian Anderson in West End London, playing Eve to Anderson’s Margo Channing in Ivo Van Hove’s adaptation of the 1950s Hollywood classic ‘All About Eve’. Read on about the play at The Evening Standard.
Model stars Stella Maxwell and Jordan Barrett joined forces with photographer Sebastian Faena in The Daily’s third annual limited-edition art magazine launched in Miami at Art Basel. Perhaps inspired by other events in Trumplandia, the trio collaborated around the theme of Duduism, which Faena describes as “a form of artistic anarchy born out of disdain for the social, aesthetic, and cultural values of the time. It embraces elements of art, music, poetry, combat, and romance.”
Only two weeks earlier, Barrett’s supporters were pushing back against rumours that his hard-partying and ‘bad behaviour’ had hurt his career. Hey, AOC loves Sebastian Faena , so kudos to his artistic vision! Proceed with full knowledge that the trio torches the place. ~ Anne

In real life, there is no such thing as ‘Combat Appeal’ and fashionistas need to get with the program. Even the notoriously apolitical American Vogue is now leading the charge against flagrant abuses in our rights by the Trump administration. There’s a difference between obsessive political correctness — which AOC detests — and challenging ourselves to reframe simple statements like ‘Combat Appeal’ in an embrace of utilitarian, unisex dressing that doesn’t celebrate war. We give you one example:
Model Cato van Ee is styled by Miki Sessa in images by Gilles Bensimon for ELLE Italia January 17, 2019.
With money tight in magazines, ELLE Italia could promote these same fashion images with a cover headline that said ‘New Combat Zones’. Inside, they could have a text page that celebrates Doutzen Droes and Behati Prinsloo with a brief update on their work against elephant and rhino poaching. And they could do a quick intro to two women seriously involved in ‘combat’ to save big game in Africa:
Both women have military backgrounds, with Faye Cuevas now leading the charge against elephant poaching in Kenya, and arms trafficking expert Kathi Lynn Austin taking on the illegal gun trafficking industry. The original ‘Combat Appeal’ fashion headline gets a 2019 update that no longer makes war glamorous — which it is NOT and NEVER was. ELLE Italia devotes a few short paragraphs to celebrating models and non-glam women fighting to save big game.
In the case of Cuevas and Austin, the magazine briefly educates readers. Hey, they could even link back to AOC online, in a way of supporting small websites. So there! We have an editorial fix that resonates deeply.
Millennials and even younger readers are not amused by fashion celebrating war. Their values are not in some stylish handbag that they wear on certain occasions. Their fusion brains are always evaluating the totality of a brand’s DNA and messaging, and that includes magazines. If magazines can’t honor this growing shift in consumption consciousness, they will die. ~ Anne

Ivanka Trump Is MIA In DC But Quietly Handed Five New Chinese Trademarks As Trade Talks Begin
Presidential daughter Ivanka Trump seems to be MIA these days. In a pull-no-punches change, fashion magazines like Vogue US don't hold back in levying major criticism against both Ivanka and Melania Trump. This is a first in my memory.
Because Ivanka is so thoroughly capitalizing on her biz interests in China -- being awarded fiva new Chinese trademarks just as trade negotiations begin again -- it's clear that the presidential daughter has not ended her biz operations. Reality appears that she intends to build a major name for herself in China.
Conflict of interest? NEVER have American citizens have a family just 'rub our noses in disdain' for our silly, stupid attempts at not having an imperial presidency run by an imperial, disdainful-for- little-people family. The Trumps are so audacious that her ‘daddy’ (her word) has been quietly promoting his daughter to become president of the World Bank.

American Women's Satisfaction W/How They Are Treated His All-Time Low, But Men Think We Are Fine
How interesting that Republican white men are saying that Democrats are undoing all the progress women have made. Politico has photographed the 36 new women members of the House. 35 are Dems; 1 lone WV woman is a Republican.
I would say that Republican white men are really running scared if electing women to Congress -- unlike their white men party -- represents a step backwards for women in 2019. Let that sink in. The party that elected 1 freshman woman to the House is telling the party that elected 35 freshmen woman to the House that we are setting women back.
Hey, boys, maybe your War on Women worked so well that once and for all, you stirred up a heap of trouble for yourselves. As for your inner fears . . . you probably should be runnin' scared.
For most of you -- the ones left -- you embrace a version of Christianity that says women must be subservient to men and obey you. No wonder you're confused about the hurricane arriving in DC. All your witches on brooms jokes will get you nowhere. DEAL WITH THEM. And just remember that you and your egregious, anti-people policies are a key reason they are so pissed off.
