The Guerrilla Girls didn’t wait for a seat at the table, they showed up with wheatpaste, stats, and a mask, and turned the art world’s hypocrisy into public humiliation.

  • Where the F$#k is the LA Fashion Community???

    LA IS LONELY AF…WHERE ARE YOU??? So, I’ve been a loner most of my life — not in a sad girl way, more in a “I observe from thrones, not tables” way. Velvet detachment. Watching humanity like a bored angel smoking in a corner. But apparently my spirit guides are over the mysterious recluse era.…
