Diets and How to Stay on Track
Why We Should Thank Our Lucky Stars For Madonna
"Why is it that these women have forgotten how great it was to have a role model that not only stuck it to the man, but then stuck it to herself, in herself and tasted it as if to say how dare you moderate my sexuality?"

I’m a Madonna fan.
For a lot of people of my generation it came with being gay.
Screaming Out of the Closet
"Would the twink in the corner demanding an umbrella in his flirtini have grown out of his conceptually feminine behaviours by the age of ten if he’d been taught the words to Gloria Gaynor’s I Am What I Am instead of Jack and Jill when he was four?

Bruce Weber: The Lies of Handsome Men - Vogue Hommes 2012
For a long time now, Bruce Weber has been one of my favourite photographers. I could spend days writing about him and his various pieces of work, but you'd be better off just popping by his brilliant website to find out more (you'll need bandwidth!)

Midweek Guilty Pleasure: She's Not Me - Madonna Vs Gaga

During this period, I’ve witnessed street parties, national mourning, a very long yet well crafted documentary in Sweden and watched people tear each other apart on social media discussing her legacy and the legitimacy of rejoicing at someone’s death.
