We looked for places in the city but couldn't really find anything in our $1,500 budget that suited our needs. AdvertisementLooking back, I wish we'd spent more time looking for a place in the city instead of escaping to the suburbs. AdvertisementWhen we lived in the city, we'd see friends just about every weekend and could decide to hang out pretty spontaneously. My depression got worse, and I realized how much of my health and well-being had been tied to a city lifestyle. AdvertisementThe car culture in the suburbs really drove me over the edge; it got to the point where I stopped wanting to go out and do things.

On Thursday night, Miley Cyrus returned to a familiar place as she appeared poolside before a crowd of about 200 to perform her smash hit “Flowers” at the celebrity haunt Chateau Marmont. The Grammy-winning pop star hasn’t toured since 2022, and has said she’s “tired of sleeping on a moving bus,” but recently she’s been performing for small crowds at the storied hotel in West Hollywood, Calif., taking the microphone for several sultry lounge-singer style performances. This time, it was to celebrate scents, specifically Gucci Flora, the perfume that Ms. Cyrus has been the face of since 2021. The intermingling of fame and fashion was thick in the air.

☆ How the vodka soda became 'gay water'

The combination of soda water and vodka has long been a fixture of boozy LGBTQ+ life, particularly among gay men. One of those came from Houston-based lawyer Jeff Watters, who called the vodka soda the "gay water" of the nighttime in a post on X. Retail is also central to the business for Gay Water, a startup offering canned cocktail variations of vodka soda. The former's vodka soda citrus is 100 calories per can, while Gay Water contains 80. The Gay Bar Shop, a specialty retailer, sells an 11-ounce, $49 candle that smells like a vodka soda with a lime garnish.

In the influencer world, Black female creators see their work co-opted without credit or apology. Kylie Jarrett, Ph.D., a scholar of media studies, refers to women content creators as "digital housewives," which is fitting because they often earn the same salary as stay-at-home moms: $0. Some of the most exploited people of all are Black women and girls who create content, then watch it get appropriated and monetized by others. They were eventually invited on the show via Zoom — but only after, you guessed it, social media outcry . The experience is so common among Black creators that in the summer of 2021, they went on strike to protest the practice of appropriating their work .

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers revealed the new details on the project and their 2024 plans on Tuesday. “Dark Matter," their 12th studio album and first since 2020's “Megaton," will be released April 19 on Monkeywrench and Republic records. A tour is scheduled to begin May 4 in Vancouver, British Columbia. “No hyperbole, I think this is our best work," Vedder said from the stage as he introduced the album.

While Vedder remains the face and voice of the band, the star of this album is drummer Matt Cameron, who joined the Jam in 1998 after starting out with Soundgarden. His relentless pounding opens many of the 11 tracks, and drowns out his bandmates' playing and Vedder's vocals at times. “Every time I've played someone the record it was like a two-day recovery,” Vedder said. The band members credited Watt, who was less than a year old when their first album “Ten” was released in 1991, for lifting them to the heights they hit.

CNN —Carrying lunch into the office from home can be one way to save money — except, perhaps, when it is stored in Pharrell Williams’ Louis Vuitton sandwich bag costing over $3,000. Model Anna Ewers carried the sandwich bag during Pharrell Williams' debut show for Louis Vuitton in Paris in June 2023. But it’s not the first time that Louis Vuitton has drawn inspiration from everyday (and, traditionally, much cheaper) accessories. In its Spring-Summer 2007 collection, the fashion house paid homage to the budget-friendly checkered plastic laundry bags beloved the world over. In 2022, the brand also released a cross-body bag resembling a paint can (complete with metal handle), “decorated with playful references to Louis Vuitton’s heritage.”In 2007, Louis Vuitton paid homage to the humble laundry bag.
