Laura Harrier in 'Hollywood Dream' by Sonia Szostak in Porter Magazine June 1, 2020
Neflix’s ‘Hollywood’ star Laura Harrier is center stage on the June 1st issue of Porter Magazine. Stylist Danielle Goldberg chooses black and white, modern fashion elegance from Alexander McQueen, Matteau, Molly Goddard, Nill Lotan, Ninety Percent, Simone Rocha, The Range and more. Sonia Szóstak is behind the lens for ‘Hollywood Dream’ with Alice Casely-Hayford on Zoom for the interview.
Harrier has very positive words about Ryan Murphy the man behind ‘Hollywood, who is rumored to have signed the biggest deal in TV history — an estimated $300 million haul with Netflix.
“No matter what he was doing, I would have wanted to be part of it,” Harrier enthuses. “I’ve admired his work for a long time – I love Pose, the Versace show that Darren [Criss] was in, the O.J. [Simpson] show. [Ryan] is super-important in the world of TV and film, but also, he’s been at the forefront of representation for a long time. He’s always had diverse casts, he’s always championed marginalized people – people of color, women and people from the LGBTQ community. He gives them a lot of opportunities and uses his power to uplift others.”
Pooja Mor's Natural Beauty Escape by Janne Rugland for Costume Magazine Summer 2020
As America burns this weekend, triggered by the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, we detach for a moment to drink in photographer Janne Rugland’s gorgeous imagery of model Pooja Mor. Perhaps it is a momentary escape, but these stunning images also inspire us to return to battle. They are fortifications for our creative spirits, and many appreciate them as we soldier on for racial justice.
Afaf Ali styles Pooja Mor in summer elegance from Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Holzweiler, Malene Birger, Rodebjer, Saint Laurent, Self-Portrait and more for Costume Magazine.
“How the Rebel Flag Rose Again—and Is Helping Trump” By Mason Adams for Politico June 16, 2016. Image by M. Scott Mahaskey/POLITICO
In the age of Trump, Charleston shootings, Charlottesville and most recently Ahmaud Arbery hunted, trapped and cornered like an animal before before being shot, this NYT Op Ed ‘Why Does the US Military Celebrate White Supremacy? is perfect timing.
Reading it -- 2-3 mos before my move to VA -- I am shocked to learn that Hitler more than once cited America as an example of a country that legally protected its white nationalism.
Hitler saw America -- yes "the shining city upon a hill" -- as an idealized example of white supremacy.

When I read a jaw-dropping statement like that one, Google is required. Those top links are also included here. For once, they appear before Wiki and the equivalent of whitenationalism.com.
That says to me that people are reading about this issue, even if it's not part of our national dialogue. I think Rachel Maddow should take up this topic and educate us all -- that Hitler repeatedly looked to the United States to justify his policy of rounding up the Jews and gassing millions.
Articles include How American Racism Influenced Hitler; Why the Nazis Loved America; and White Nationalism’s Deep American Roots.
It's been almost two years since I got it into my mind to move to Virginia with a keen desire to be part of the New South. That move is really taking shape now, finally, with the oppty to live in a brand new, super special set of buildings not in Virginia Beach but Norfolk, next door.
This move will allow me to become a swing voter in VA in time for the presidential election. While the move is inspired by VA's vibrant arts community in Norfolk, as well as in VB, I deliberately want to live where slavery first began in America. I want to soak up that poison and repurpose it, take responsibility for it and -- yes-- to fight for my vision of America.
As my friend Christine Turner said, "Honey if you want to confront the beast, you can't come to Alabama. You will lose your mind here. If I consider the options, I think Virginia is a perfect choice for you."
To read this morning that Hitler cited America as his idealized society, I am humiliated and heartbroken. But that is just another motivation to fight for my vision of what is right -- and especially in the time of Trump. ~ Anne
