Victoria’s Secret celebrates Valentine’s Day with red and pink pjs and sexy little nothings worn by all-stars like Alexina Graham, Elsa Hosk, Sara Sampaio, and Taylor Hill.
“Valentine’s Day is about celebrating all the love in your life. Whether you are shopping for yourself or buying a gift for someone special, you can’t go wrong with Victoria’s Secret,” says Romee Strijd. “This year, I am all about being a little bit daring. I gifted myself the new neon Very Sexy Push Up Bra to wear for a fun night out.”

Writing for The New York Times, Michelle Goldberg reminds us that when America was unsettled over a crude mail bomb being found in the mailbox of George Soros, Representative Kevin McCarthy, the California Republican who is now the House minority leader, tweeted, “We cannot allow Soros, Steyer and Bloomberg to buy this election!” Interviewed on CNN about receiving his own mail bomb, Steyer described McCarthy’s tweet as a “straight-up anti-Semitic move.”
There was no self-reflection, then, when Kevin McCarthy became a defender of Jews, threatening to force congressional action against two outspoken new Democratic representatives, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, for their criticism of Israel. Rather than rise above Kevin McCarthy, Omar found herself in the same sewer, quoting Puff Daddy’s ode to the power of money: “It’s all about the Benjamins, baby.”
Supertalent Jennifer Lopez is wildly in love in the February 2019 issue of Harper’s Bazaar US. Patrick Mackie styles Lopez in body-hugging black swimwear and bodysuits for ‘Fly Me To The Moon’, lensed by Camilla Akrans. / Hair by Lorenzo Martin; makeup by Scott Barnes
In her interview with Carina Chocano, Jennifer Lopez hits all the high notes of her currently wonderful life. It’s her new video made with her daughter Emme that is most special to her in this moment. For the soundtrack of her new movie‘Second Act’, Lopez recorded a new song written by Sia called ‘Limitless’.
“Emme represents that little girl in all of us,” Lopez explains. “The minute you are born a woman, it’s an uphill battle.” In a behind-the-scenes video, you can hear Lopez shouting directions and encouragement as Emme stands up to an imaginary storm, fighting to move forward: “Good girl. Now you’re bent over. Your back foot is stuck…”
Lopez cites the video as a high point of the work she’s done to date.

Gucci Chief Executive Marco Bizzarri Meeting With Dapper Dan Over Blackface Sweater Disaster
Gucci Chief Executive Marco Bizzarri is planning to meet with Dapper Dan and other African-American leaders during a trip to New York this week to discuss the sweater debacle. “"I am a Black man before I am a brand," he wrote. “Another fashion house has gotten it outrageously wrong,” Dapper Dan said in an Instagram post. “There is no excuse nor apology that can erase this kind of insult.”
The renowned Harlen fashon designer and tailor originally gained fame knocking off Guuci’s logo in the ‘80s and ‘90s, before finding itself in the drivers seat when Alessandro Michele knocked off one of Dapper Dan’s designs in his own 2018 Resort collection. The two men signed a peace treaty with Dapper Dan collaborating with Gucci on a vintage hip-hop-inspired capsule collection. Then Kering stepped in to underwrite Dap’s new studio and atelier in Harlem, while making him the face of a special tailoring campaign. Gucci has also underwritten several art events celebrating black culture in Harlem and around New York.
As the former head of product development and fashion director for Victoria’s Secret, I recommend that Gucci load up a corporate jet with design talent and head for Washington, DC and a trip to the African American Museum of African American History and Culture. This will give them a complete understanding of the sensitivity of black face in America to progressives of every skin color.

Donald Trump and Beto O'Rourke Duke It Out In El Paso As Congress Works Against A New Shutdown
As Trump spoke, O’Rourke led a march to a park just steps away from the coliseum. There, the former congressman and U.S. Senate candidate pressed his case — to raucous cheers — that El Paso is “safe not because of walls but in spite of walls.”
“We can show the rest of the country ... that walls do not make us safer,” O’Rourke said, arguing such barriers force immigrants to cross in more remote, dangerous stretches of the border.
“We know that walls do not save lives,” he added. “Walls end lives.”

In a dramatic statement delivered on Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders are calling on Minn. Rep Ilhan Omar to apologize for tweeting the strong suggestion that political donations drive politiciams’ support for Israel.
In the dramatic statement, House Democratic leadership said that while "legitimate criticism of Israel's policies is protected by the values of free speech and democratic debate," Omar's "use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel's top supporters is deeply offensive."

Talent Katy Perry undergoes a ‘Transformation’, styled by Patti Wilson in looks from Sid Neigum, Maïssane Zinaï, Tabitha Simmons, Valentino, Vera Wang and more. Juno Calypso flashes the pop star for Paper Magazine March 2019.
We learn in Katy Perry’s Paper interview with Marie Lodi that she and boyfriend Orlando Bloom are so serious that they are in the “throwing out each other’s belongings without asking” phase of their relationship.
Explaining that they are both hoarders by nature, Orlando Bloom wanted to keep his old toiletry bag because it has been around the world for 10 years, even when Perry presented him with a new one for Christmas. Perry is equally bad at hoarding, especially in the clothing category.
“I have all of them,” Perry said about her old costumes and iconic looks that she’s worn over her career, like her cupcake bras. “I have my costumes, my dancers’ costumes, all of my tour sets. My whipped-cream gun.” All her memorabilia reside in a warehouse.
