A chaotic, campy reflection on modern UFO obsession, comparing today’s internet panic over UAPs, Pentagon files, and mysterious lights to a glitter-soaked early-2000s pop culture fever dream. The piece blends references to Sailor Moon, ET, V: The Visitors, Roswell, Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi films, queer internet culture, and hyperpop aesthetics to describe humanity’s emotional fascination with aliens as escapism during unstable times. The tone is humorous, theatrical, nostalgic, and culturally self-aware, portraying society as exhausted, doomscrolling, and desperate for mystery, magic, and cosmic intervention.

We Don’t Want Aliens, We Want Cosmic Divas

The internet this week feels like humanity collectively smoked glitter inside a Hot Topic in 2003 and decided the apocalypse should be aesthetically pleasing. Everywhere it’s UFOs, orbs, government files, and mysterious lights, with people staring at the sky like emotionally overwhelmed raccoons waiting for salvation. The energy is no longer scientific. It is fully Sailor Moon final season, and at this point, I expect … Continue reading We Don’t Want Aliens, We Want Cosmic Divas

FASHION WEEK? NO DARLING.THIS IS SUCCESSION IN BALENCIAGA.

Somewhere in Milan, a very expensive candle is burning while a publicist is having a nervous breakdown in whisper-tone Italian. The fashion elite are pretending to “disconnect for mental health,” but are actually refreshing news alerts every six seconds like cocaine-era stockbrokers. And honestly?The luxury world has not looked this spiritually corrupted since Studio 54 discovered ketamine. I imagine myself deep inside a ridiculous cream-colored … Continue reading FASHION WEEK?

Euphoria Wasn’t Fiction to Me—It Was a Front-Row Seat to the Circus (London, 2011)

Watching Euphoria last night, I didn’t see Rue spiraling and think, “Relatable.” I saw a sanitized, HBO-budget version of the chaos I used to watch from the sidelines—only cleaner, more curated, and far more heterosexual than the London I remember. The truth is: what Euphoria portrays as “heightened drama” was, for my circle, just a standard Tuesday night in Vauxhall. And as the one person not vibrating on a … Continue reading Euphoria Wasn’t Fiction to Me—It Was a Front-Row Seat to the Circus (London, 2011)

Everyone thinks being a fashion journalist is basically living inside The Devil Wears Prada—minus the emotional damage, plus better lighting. Let me ruin that fantasy for you. I’ve been there. I was that girl. And trust me, it’s colder, messier, and far less cinematic. Back in 2009, after sending what felt like a lifetime’s worth of desperate emails and applications, I finally got my break. … Continue reading Confessions of a (Not-So-Glam) Fashion Intern: My “Andy Sachs” Era

The Glitter and the Gutter: Why Nate and Cassie’s Wedding is the Ultimate Monument to Toxic Ambition

In the neon-soaked archives of modern television, few moments capture the zeitgeist quite like the union—and immediate disintegration—of Nate Jacobs and Cassie Howard. It was the wedding the internet spent seasons predicting, a “perfect” toxic fairytale that ended not with a kiss, but with a visceral, blood-spattered reality check. Years from now, when we look back at the peak of high-concept melodrama, this episode will stand … Continue reading The Glitter and the Gutter: Why Nate and Cassie’s Wedding is the Ultimate Monument to Toxic Ambition

Why Charlize Theron Thinks AI Will Replace Timothée Chalamet in 10 Years

Charlize Theron to Timothée Chalamet: “AI Can Do Your Job, But It Can’t Do Mine” In a scorched-earth interview with The New York Times, Charlize Theron didn’t just disagree with Timothée Chalamet; she put him on notice. The beef stems from Timmy’s “reckless” (Charlize’s word, and she used it twice) comments during a Variety town hall earlier this year. Chalamet, apparently feeling himself a bit too much, dismissed ballet … Continue reading Why Charlize Theron Thinks AI Will Replace Timothée Chalamet in 10 Years
