When I was a kid, my mom always knew to save the newspaper the day after the Academy Awards. It was my prized possession; pieces of paper documenting all of the happenings of the night before—opinions on the dresses, the dates, the scandals, the letdowns, the surprises, the not-so-surprises. There was always a splash of judgment across the media, claiming what went wrong that year. But for me, it was the memory of who stood there on stage, in front of their peers expressing sheer gratitude of acknowledgement. Year afterRead More

In somewhat of an upset, after J Law took home the Golden Globe in January, “12 Years a Slave” star Lupita Nyong’o won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar at last night’s ceremony.  Before Christoph Waltz called her name, many of us hadn’t heard of Miss Lupita, daughter of Mexico City and graduate of the Yale School of Drama, but since she took the stage we can’t wait to see what she does next.  Check out her show-stopping acceptance speech here: Not since Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her way to theRead More

For years he’s been known as the millionaire in blue jeans, a hero for the working class.  So maybe it’s fitting that Bruce Springsteen paid humble tribute to Lorde’s diamond-in-the-rough hit “Royals” at his show in Auckland, New Zealand two nights ago.  While not the best cover of the teenage superstar’s calling card, it makes a moving acoustic ballad that could easily have been recorded in the Boss’ early days. “Long ago I was the next big thing,” he adds in his trademark rumble.  And it’s true.  Big things haveRead More

Sarah Clayton is our CoverGirl for March 2014.

Find out more about Sarah and check out our HQ photos below. Then, follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook forRead More

Everyone knows the difference between the cute girl who lives next door and the idiot with bolt -ons at the end of the bar.  One makes you keep dummy mail in your mailbox so you can pretend to check it every time you hear her car pull up and the other makes you want to slam woo woos with her until you can’t remember your name and then go partake in some sweaty debauchery.  But these women are neither of those and nowhere in between.  These beautiful women define class and sophistication.

1. Isle of Man Race Statistically the most dangerous race in the world, the Isle of Man race has killed over 240 of its racers. The race is a motorcycle tourist trophy race held on the Isle of Man. It was first organized in 1907 and continues today. It survived both world wars, has seen different classes-  from amateur, to expert, and even side-car. It is now a high speed, high risk, and completely badass motorcycle race, deserving of your attention. 2. Free Climbing In the world of free climbing,Read More

If you desperately need financial advice, there’s a good chance even the mention of money just caused you a minor heart attack. Even if you don’t desperately need financial advice, if you’re anything like me, there’s still a good chance your face is twitching because budgeting is always The Sucks. So before we begin, here’s some nice music, photos of beaches, and encouraging advice: Calm down, captain. YOU GOT THIS. Now. It’s business time. While I ain’t no Warren Buffett, I’d like to think I have some experience with savingRead More

Japanese Cat Food Restaurant…For Humans! So leave it to Japan to start the most obscure trends. Earlier this week the Nestle Purina PerCare Company opened the Restaurant Mon Petit in Tokyo (can someone please translate that website for me? I’m really curious as to what it says). Feb 22 was Cat Day in Japan, which is technically an unofficial holiday, but clearly a big deal if they opened a whole restaurant for the occasion. Anywho. For you cat lovers out there this restaurant is only open for a limited time so hurryRead More

You’ve finished Breaking Bad, binged on House of Cards, and are looking for a new show to tide you over until Game of Thrones comes back. Well, look no further, because HBO’s True Detective is one of the most riveting shows to grace the airwaves.  Set primarily in 1995, the show is a gritty take on the pulp neo-noir genre twisted with elements of supernatural horror, and trades the urban decay of New York or Los Angeles, for an eerie look at the backwater depravity of 1995 Louisiana. The showRead More

We could all take a lesson from Rose. Even though she never thought she’d have to let go of Jack, every once in a while, letting go is all there is left to do. Here are a few things we should let fall to the bottom of the sea, gone forever. 1. Safari Besides their private browsing (ahem) is there any use for this truly awful browser? It might have been a step up from NetScape but it comes in far below Firefox, Chrome and, yes, even Internet Explorer. ForRead More

Golf is a word that makes most of you yawn. But the sport itself is anything but yawn-worthy. It’s a chess match. A game of mental toughness and opportunity where the individual has no one to blame but himself. Besides, I bet most of you haven’t given the sport a chance. Am I right? Or am I REALLY right?   Challenge Both in career and in sport, most humans embrace challenges. While it’s instinctual for most, going back to our hunter/gatherer days, there are many in our generation that lackRead More

It seems the internet isn’t serving its function unless there’s something that everyone is foaming at the mouth about. Case and point: the recent upheaval surrounding a certain Duke underclassman that has sparked the largest feminist discussion this side of a Women’s Studies class. If for some reason you don’t know what I’m talking about, perhaps this will refresh your memory: This little story sent the blogs, forums, online publications and YouTube channels into a tailspin over the past week. It seems everyone from Huffington Post to The Daily BeastRead More
