We Know Your Secret Sex Fantasy—Do You?

Image
  Not that one. A *new* one. Hey, cutie. Just wanted to let you know that this story originally ran in our February issue, so if you like what you see, you should probably snag a hard copy ASAP. Bye! Look, it’s cool if every time you need to get yourself over the edge, you return to that mental picture of being taken from behind while wearing a pair of  Telfar boots  and nothing else. (Don’t lie.) (It’s only natural to put your fave on repeat.) But given the Groundhoggian hellscape of the past 10 months, wouldn’t it be  kiiind  of nice to mix things up? With something…even hotter? Yes—yes, it would. So it’s lucky that you have us. Okay, fine, maybe not  us , per se, but rather sex researcher Justin Lehmiller, PhD, and a group of other highly informed secret sources* who know how to use your personality to divine said even hotter fantasy. So pick the description that fits you best, prepare for an *uncanny* amount of detail, and…you know what to do from there. If there’s something about

The Power of Kamala Harris’s Inauguration Outfit

Image
  A new day of fashion diplomacy begins in Washington. As the first Black woman of South Asian descent to reach the second-highest office in the land, Vice President Kamala Harris represents how far we’ve come in American politics. Her clothing choices Wednesday represent just how far we’ve come in fashion, too. For the inauguration, Harris opted for a striking purple coat and coordinating dress. When the first photographs appeared, social media immediately lit up—with commentary not just about how she looked (gorgeous, obviously) but about what her ensemble  meant .  Watchers knew that the shade signified unity, a blend of Democratic blue and Republican red . They also cheered on her choice of not one but two Black designers, Christopher John Rogers and Sergio Hudson, shining a spotlight on young American fashion talent. And the pearls! Her signature pearls shone in the winter sunlight, a beacon to those supporters who wore theirs to celebrate her, and in solidarity with her Alpha Kap

Lady Gaga adds subtle change to the National Anthem

Image
  Lady Gaga brought her voice (and a large, poofy red skirt) to the inauguration of Joseph R. Biden. The ceremony was different than usual, as befits the changing of the guard in the middle of a pandemic, and the National Anthem was different too. While Lady Gaga didn’t indulge in the vocal gymnastics that tempt many interpreters of the anthem, she did offer one innovation, singing the song in a different time signature than usual. The old melody that Francis Scott Key borrowed is in 3/4, which is an unusual meter for an anthem. Gaga used an arrangement that adds an extra beat to every measure, turning it into a 4/4 rhapsody. I asked friends online whether they noticed, and some couldn’t tell the difference. To be scrupulously accurate, Gaga sang the first 16 bars in 4/4, the next four bars (“and the rockets red glare. . .”) in a deceptive 4/4 that pretended to be 3/4, the next four bars (“gave proof through the night. . .”) half in 3/4 and half in a rubato stop time, the next four bar

Dakota Johnson Lied to Us About Loving Limes

Image
  The evidence was right there before us all along. How could we have been so blind? You can’t spell “limes” without “lies.” On January 19, Dakota Johnson revisited her famed 2020  Architectural Digest  tour on  The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon  and admitted to a terrible betrayal. Despite gesturing to overflowing display bowls chock full o’ limes and saying, “I love limes. I love them. They’re great. I like them so much, and I like to present them like this in my house,” she actually admitted she  doesn’t even like limes.  In fact, she told Jimmy, “I’m allergic to limes. I’m mildly allergic to them … Limes make my tongue itch.” “Well ,”  you might say, rationalizing to yourself as a Dakota Johnstan. “She never said she loves to eat limes. She just said she likes to present them like that in her house . ”   But this is a fallacy as well. “I actually didn’t even know that they were in there,” Johnson told Jimmy. “I was giving the tour and went into the kitchen and it was set dressing.

Joe Biden Faces Justin Trudeau Clash over Keystone XL Pipeline

Image
  President-elect  Joe Biden  has vowed to revitalize America's traditional alliances after he takes up residence in the White House this week, repairing the damage he says President  Donald Trump  has done to the U.S.-led international system that has dominated international affairs since the Second World War. But Biden appears to be on course for an early head-to-head with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over the $9 billion Keystone XL project, a controversial Canada-U.S. oil pipeline that has been opposed by progressives, environmentalists and indigenous groups. Trudeau has long supported the project despite the protests, arguing it will help reduce reliance on foreign oil imports and create new jobs. Reuters  reported Monday that Biden is set to rescind the pipeline permit as soon as he takes office, perhaps on his first day in the White House, as he seeks to restore American leadership on climate change action. CBC later confirmed the rumors citing its own anonymous sources. Bid

Martin Luther King Day: ‘I Have A Dream’ Defines Civil Rights Movement

Image
KING WAS THE CHIEF SPOKESMAN FOR NONVIOLENT ACTIVISM IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT MLK DAY:   “I Have a Dream” was delivered by Martin Luther King, Jr. on August 28, 1963, in which he called for an end to racism in the United States. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, the speech was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday marking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around King’s birthday on January 15. The holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. King was the chief spokesman for nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. The campaign for a federal holiday in King’s honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. President Ronald Reagan signed the holiday
