☆ ​Tennessee Law Sows Fear Among Drag Performers Ahead of Pride Month
  + stars: | 2023-05-28 | by ( Emily Cochrane | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Renae Green-Bean had started taking precautions in public even before the Tennessee legislature approved a law in March limiting where “adult cabaret” can be performed. rights and worried that restaurant nights with her wife, children or grandchildren, or her preference for masculine attire and closely cropped hair, would invite harassment. It will not stop the shows that Ms. Green-Bean, 46, puts on at an adults-only club in Clarksville and other clubs near the Kentucky border. Still, she and other performers said, being seen in drag anywhere in public feels far riskier now. The law and others like it come as far-right activists have increasingly targeted drag shows across the country, with members of the Proud Boys and other protesters, sometimes heavily armed, appearing at the shows and at library story hours when drag performers read books to children.

CNN —If you’re one of the lucky members of the BeyHive who scored tickets to Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” tour this summer, expect one of the more epic nights of your life. Fans have been waiting for this tour since last summer, and it’s finally time to unleash our inner alien superstars. Here’s what “Renaissance” tour-goers need to know before the show hits their hometown (or, before they fly across the world to catch it – the things we do for Beyoncé). Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for ParkwoodThe aesthetic of the “Renaissance” tour, based on the footage fans have captured, is more “Alien Superstar” than “Cuff It”: Think Afrofuturist cyborgs with impeccable style. ), and she lets those in the audience know that a “queen moves at her own pace.” We’ll have to keep waiting on those music videos.
☆ Doja Cat and Jared Leto dressed like Choupette the cat for the Met Gala
  + stars: | 2023-05-02 | by ( Scottie Andrew | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved cat, Choupette, did not make an appearance at the Met Gala, despite the event’s theme honoring her late owner. Doja Cat and Jared Leto both channeled the blue cream Birman with their Met Gala looks, transforming into Choupette in a mishmash of camp, couture and cat. The Grammy-winning rapper wore a silvery hooded Oscar de la Renta gown — complete with cat ears — along with feline facial prosthetics and sharpened talons on her nails. Choupette, 11, was expected by many to attend this year’s event given how important she was to Lagerfeld, who died in 2019. But she opted to “stay peacefully and cozy at home,” her agents said Monday, rather than hog the spotlight at the Met.
☆ Yes, Sophisticated Going-Out Tops Exist—and They Look Nothing Like What You Wore in the 2000s
  + stars: | 2023-04-29 | by ( Emilia Petrarca | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
IT WAS BOUND to happen at some point. Along with low-rise jeans, the recent Y2K-style renaissance has resurrected going-out tops. If you’re over 30, you no doubt remember them—those sexy, strappy, sometimes bedazzled and always bordering-on-bad-taste camisoles that Paris Hilton and her ilk wore while cavorting at night clubs. Now they’ve reappeared, most notably at Celine’s recent Los Angeles show (in shimmering gold) and on Versace’s spring runway (in sheer, beaded violet). But as Gen Z and the TikTok set embrace this dubious early-2000s look, women who wore it the first time are wondering what to sport for a stylish night out that doesn’t channel Tara Reid circa 2003.

The Met Gala, which will be held next week, serves as the unofficial birthday party for Vogue magazine. The outfits at Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World gala, held last night at Jazz at Lincoln Center, generally don’t involve as much forethought, but it is nevertheless an opulent affair. Tiffany Haddish wore a red and black sequined gown and Natasha Lyonne was in a black Area dress with a bedazzled oyster bodice. The storied masquerade party and annual gala dinner raises money to preserve the artworks of the flood-threatened Italian city. The event raised $1.2 million and transformed the Plaza into an arms-in-the-air dance party with the D.J.
☆ For LSU and South Carolina, It’s the Final Four of Sideline Style
  + stars: | 2023-03-31 | by ( Rory Satran | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
When Louisiana State University women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey strode from the court after yet another win last month, she peeled off her pink butterfly-bedazzled blazer. The move was more rock star than 60-year-old college coach, but it was in keeping with Ms. Mulkey’s razzle-dazzle. Ms. Mulkey, along with the University of South Carolina’s Dawn Staley, is leading the charge for a new wave of women’s college basketball coaches using fashion as a crucial part of their public image. Friday night, in the hotly anticipated Women’s Final Four, millions worldwide will be tuning in to watch the formidable face-offs of South Carolina vs. Iowa, and LSU vs. Virginia Tech. Many of them will also be paying close attention to what Ms. Staley and Ms. Mulkey, superstar, title-winning coaches who earn seven-figure salaries, are wearing.
☆ $1,500 Bedazzled Jacket, $350 Dress: Fans Shell Out to Look Like Taylor Swift

Loren McManus has spent months sewing costumes for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. The outfits are bejeweled, sparkly and can make a stadium shimmer—but they’re not for the stage. Taylor mania means a boom time for tailors. Swifties are going all out, paying hundreds of dollars to have fashion designers create custom looks to wear to Ms. Swift’s first tour in five years. Most want copies of designer dresses the superstar has worn on red carpets or in music videos.
☆ Why Are Flip-Up Sunglasses Suddenly Everywhere?
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Brigid Mander | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
FLIP THE SCRIPT Vibrant colors and sleek silhouettes have made contemporary flip-up glasses genuinely covetable. SUNGLASSES HAVE always played two roles: to shield your eyes from damaging UV rays, and to make you look cool. Just what constitutes “cool” has fluctuated with the decades—remember our early-2000s obsession with bedazzled frames? But few designs have more questionable associations than flip-up, clip-on shades, despite their ability to cleverly block or let in sunlight via a hinge attachment. While aviator sunglasses evoke Tom Cruise in “Top Gun” and understated black frames conjure icons like Joan Didion and Jackie O., the closest thing the flip-up has to an avatar is the nerdy, well-meaning Dwayne Wayne of “A Different World.”

LOS ANGELES, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Actress Raquel Welch, who helped redefine the traditional image of the Hollywood sex symbol with her portrayals of strong women in dozens of movies in the 1960s and '70s, died on Wednesday at age 82. Her death following a brief illness was confirmed in a statement released by Jane McKnight, her Los Angeles-based manager.

☆ Asia's year in review: Who had it good — and who had it bad — in 2022
  + stars: | 2022-12-15 | by ( Curtis Chin | Jose Collazo | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
As the new year approaches, we turn again to our annual look at Asia's winners and losers. Government and business leaders in every major economy — China now included — may well hope 2023 is the year when draconian pandemic-related lockdowns become a matter of history. Underscoring the Taiwanese tech industry's critical role, a Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA)/Boston Consulting Group 2021 study found that 92% of the world's most advanced semiconductor manufacturing capacity is located in Taiwan. With numbers like those, Taiwan's semiconductor industry ends the year on the move, still building ties and winning growing support from business and government in the United States and elsewhere. Mixed Year: Asia's 'love' for cryptoAs in much of the world, investors in Asia — once bedazzled if not bewitched by the crypto industry — end the year in a mixed mood.
☆ Prayers, the pledge of allegiance and culture wars: Inside a Doug Mastriano rally in the final days of his long-shot bid for governor of Pennsylvania

A Doug Mastriano rally in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, featured praying and wading into culture wars. National and state Republican donors and groups have offered little support to his candidacy. "He's just been there the whole time," a Mastriano voter in Bucks County who only identified himself as Jeremy, told Insider. "You can't get your message out one-on-one to voters," Josh Novotney, a Pennsylvania GOP strategist, told Insider. "It's a different tactic and I pray it works," Joe Vichot, chairman of Lehigh County's GOP, told Insider.
☆ 'God Forbid' review: Giancarlo Granda opens up about the Falwells in Hulu documentary
  + stars: | 2022-11-01 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Granda proceeded to have a long relationship with Becki Falwell, alleging that her husband was fully aware of the arrangement throughout, and endeavored to create real-estate opportunities for Granda in part to keep his wife happy. He admits that he was ambitious but basically over his head dealing with the older Falwells, while being bedazzled by their money and connections. Jerry Falwell resigned from Liberty in 2020, acknowledging Becki Falwell’s affair with Granda, while stating he was “not involved.” He also claimed that Granda had sought to blackmail the couple, a charge Granda has denied. “God Forbid” clearly provides Granda a friendly forum to tell his story, which includes how he came out on the other side of his 15 minutes of notoriety. “God Forbid: The Sex Scandal that Brought Down a Dynasty” premieres November 1 on Hulu.
