Outfit Select: Lara Croft, Vogue, & Personal Development
Thinking about Sarah Harris using “gaming heroine” to define to aesthetic spirit of the decade in British Vogue’s centenary edition–a Royal on the cover, input from seasoned industry greats, and women of the moment throughout, a real authoritative environment, if Harris’ name alone isn’t enough to convince you of the scale of this proclamation–I came…

This past February, lifestyle talked friendships for the month of love, because friendships are love relationships, too, of course!

Previously on Comics: Another Big 3 Manga Bids Adieu
Hello readers! How was your weekend? Have you been binging on the Olympics like I’ve been? If you have, it’s time to take a break and check out the week in comics headlines. I thought this day would never come, but it has apparently arrived. Bleach is ending at the end of August. It looks…
Siobhan Gallagher: Cartoonist and Author on the Rise

4 Comics to Give You Hope
I read a range of comics from a range of publishers and genres: horror, fantasy, sci-fi, slice of life, superhero… and ones in between.

Good Things Come In Threes with Lois Lane: Triple Threat
We’ve been supporting author Gwenda Bond’s Lois Lane series on the site because we believe in this whip smart iconic girl reporter, and it’s unthinkable for someone like Lois to not lead a series of her own.

Books That Made Us Cry Laughing in Public
Claire: In the summer of 2001 my family visited North America. We saw relatives in Connecticut (which tickled me; I kept an eye out for signage toward Stonybrooke), went to Boston (Heinz’ beans are better), New York (very tall), Martha’s Vineyard (horseshoe crabs? AWFUL), and up on some kind of hell train to Niagara Falls….
