In the world of fashion, where opinions and critiques often shape trends and styles, one name stands out among the rest: Takashi Dumas. At just 24 years old, this fashion critic has taken over fashion Twitter, becoming the go-to source for cutting-edge reviews and commentary.

Takashi's rise to prominence is not accidental. With a background in fashion studies from Parsons School and a journalism degree from New York University, he is well-equipped to dissect the award shos and festivals with precision and insight. Moreover, his mother's position as the art director at Elle magazine has undoubtedly influenced his eye for style and attention to detail.

However, this same candidness has sometimes led to controversies. Takashi found himself embroiled in a storm on Twitter when he made a comment about not wanting to see Londyn's pregnant belly. Despite this occasional backlash, his reviews and opinions are generally well-regarded.

What sets Takashi apart from other fashion critics is his fresh perspective. His takes on fashion are distinctive and offer a departure from the conventional reviews often seen on platforms like Wicked Harlot. People crave a unique voice, and Takashi's unconventional approach satisfies that desire for something different.

In the age of social media and instant judgment, the public's fascination with celebrity relationships often leads to heated discussions and relentless scrutiny. In the case of Fletcher, the 27-year-old heir to Amazon, and Bonnie, the 22-year-old singer, their relationship has become a subject of widespread attention. However, what raises concern is the stark contrast in how they are treated in the court of public opinion.

Fletcher's journey on the reality show Dollhouse brought to light a complicated history with his ex-girlfriend, Poppy Park, a 25-year-old singer. Despite his emotional closeness to Poppy during the show and the revelation of potential emotional cheating, the public's response has been surprisingly lenient towards Fletcher.

In contrast, Bonnie, his current wife, has faced relentless criticism and mockery, primarily due to the interactions with Fletcher's best friend and bandmate, Parker Alexander. Parker's constant attacks on Bonnie, coupled with Fletcher's public emotional cheating (and her staying with him afterwards), have made her an easy target for ridicule on the internet.

Sophie Selwyn, a 25-year-old member of the renowned Selwyn family known for their acting prowess, has been making headlines lately. However, unlike her talented family members, Sophie has gained attention for a different reason - her ditzy behavior. With her frequent social media posts and tweets, some are beginning to question whether she is setting a bad example for her young fans.

A quick glance at Sophie's Twitter feed reveals a pattern of frivolous and seemingly self-centered posts. One tweet reads, "someone on here said I look like yassified oliver candy - thank you so much! 🥰" While harmless on its own, the accumulation of such posts could reinforce superficial values among impressionable young girls.

Young fans, who look up to celebrities as role models, may start emulating Sophie's behavior, believing it is acceptable or even desirable. As a public figure with a significant following, Sophie should be more mindful of the messages she conveys through her social media presence.

In a society that already grapples with the pressure to appear perfect on social media, Sophie's behavior may inadvertently exacerbate these issues. Young girls might perceive her carefree attitude as a license to prioritize looks and popularity over substance and genuine accomplishments.

In a stunning turn of events at this year's Beacon awards, the relatively unknown band Food Trvck took home the prestigious Choice Album of the Year, leaving fans and critics alike scratching their heads in disbelief. Everyone seems to have the same question: Who the f*ck is Food Trvck?""

Comprising of the talented members Auggie, Thomas, Scout, Lola, Ness, and Gabe, this small-town group managed to clinch the top spot, beating out industry giants like Madam Vivi, Danica, Essence Woods, and Loveshot.

Fans have been fervently expressing their bewilderment online, with some arguing that the Beacon awards may have lost their touch, failing to recognize actual artists while favoring people like Food Trvck and Scar. While Madam Vivi's hauntingly soulful melodies, Danica's genre-defying experimental sound, Essence Woods' chart-topping hits, and Loveshot's infectious pop anthems have all undeniably made significant impacts on the music industry, Food Trvck's unexpected win is seen by some as a refreshing departure from the mainstream. While other seem confused. Here are some tweets:

who the fuck are these guys???? lol i'd literally never heard of them but they beat out MADAM VIVI? okay. i like a few of their songs but choice album is crazy??? you know what, good for food trvck? so fucking tired of people like danica and essence getting awards.

Apparently, Alexis Woods has had enough of the plastic Barbie doll sweeping the box office. Who would've thought?

The feminist narrative portrayed in the movie is one of the key points of contention for Alexis Woods. In a 15-minute rant she talked about it promoting a strong, independent worldview for women, which she believes undermines the biblical concept of family citing Matthew 19:1-12.

But Woods' critique does not stop there; she also takes issue with the depiction of male characters in the film. According to her, every male character in the movie is either portrayed as an idiot, a bigot, or a pitiful loser. This representation, she argues, "perpetuates a negative view of masculinity, unfairly vilifying men for embracing their natural roles as providers and protectors."

Yikes.

"There is nothing wrong with men wanting to be men. It's normal, it's natural," Woods states firmly, defending her belief in the importance of embracing traditional gender roles. "I am disappointed that my son-in-law, Austin Harper, has put himself in a role like this."

She then went on to say that nobody should take their young daughter to a film like this, stating that it would "fill their head with nonsense". She also denoted that she found the movie to be "anti-motherhood" due to a joke about girls not wanting to play with baby dolls.

In her long rant about the depiction of the Barbie movie, the only nice thing she had to say about it was that the set design was beautiful, but that is seemingly where her love towards the movie ends.

Andrew Woods, one of the wealthiest and most popular preachers in the US, has spoken out against the newly released song Day of the Dead by Undead. The song was released on Monday. Woods didn’t say anything until his Wednesday morning service stating that the music video was “deplorable” and warning parents against allowing their children to listen or watch content involving Undead. He went on to talk about why paying attention to what children watch is important, but didn’t allow the Undead talk to stop there. He referred to their music was “demonic” and implied that the members worshipped Satan. 

Many believe that this has a lot to do with the fact that none other than Essence Woods is in the video. He stated that he was “extremely disappointed with her involvement” and that he “thought the last few months would’ve been a lesson to her as to what happens when you leave the church”.

We were very excited to be able to welcome Renata Keating, AKA RENAWRECK, into our chair today to talk about all things Starcrossed, why the water didn’t feel so great for her, and her latest music releases.

“Starcrossed was a wild ride,” she started, eagerly making herself comfortable in the chair. “I didn’t really expect much to come out of it in terms of a relationship or whatever. I’m going to be real. I did it for the coverage.” Her admittance of that was followed by a rather cheeky smile. “What? I’m not afraid to admit that shit.”

When we brought up her encounter with Caden, she shook her head. “He pushed my buttons. It’s as simple as that. Sure I shouldn’t have pushed him to the ground, but what was I supposed to do? Thank him for being an ass?” She rolled her eyes and sighed. “On a semi-serious note, I didn’t take my meds that day. So yeah. That’s my bad.”

Moving onto the situation with Auggie and the kayak, Rena couldn’t help but chuckle her words out. “Oh, she’s something. She. Is. Something. I don’t know what’s wrong with her. She’s, what, two or three years younger than me? But she acts like a ten year old. I’ll be happy to never hear her tell us how the water feels ever again.”

“Starcrossed was fun for the most part. I met a bunch of interesting people. Will I talk to all of them again? Probably not. Maybe I’ll keep in touch with a few. Or maybe I’ll only ever talk to Salem and Cassidy after this. Who knows? I have peoples’ numbers. The one thing you can bet on is I will avoid Caden and Auggie as though they’re the plague.”

After being asked about who her favorite person to meet was on Starcrossed, she pulled a face. “I thought that would be obvious. Salem. Duh. He was one of the most nicest people to me. He actually gave me a little chance. Sure he went off with the one other person I had my eyes on the entire time I was on the show, but that’s whatever at this point. Salem was so kind to me, and he still is.”

RENAWRECK released her latest single ‘Grumpy Old Man’ last week. “It’s a song about being a grumpy old man. I don’t know what else to tell you,” she joked initially, although she did go on to give a little explanation. “It’s a nod to anger. Sometimes people get super defensive and bite back like a grumpy old man that doesn’t want shitty little children on his lawn. Like me. Those children, and any other bitches that annoy me, can fuck off.”

She’s still a fresh face for most people, and likely quite new for a lot of our audience unfamiliar with Starcrossed, but she’s ready to make an impact. “I’ve got a lot of music in my catalogue already just waiting to be released. There’s a lot more to come, including an album. These bitches better be ready for me, because I am breaking into this industry punching and kicking baby!”

When looking at how ruthless the music industry can get, something that is often forgotten is the value of real, genuine friendship free of expectations of reciprocity. People pretend to like people they don’t, because they know that knowing the right people at the right time could save their careers if push ever came to shove. Because of circumstances like this, music-lovers of all kinds found themselves at least a little bit baffled when brooding alternative artist SAINT and UNDEAD’s very own Sebby Jones announced their US-wide „Holy Hell“-Tour. While fans of either artist were thrilled enough to sell out every venue within a few hours, people were still left wondering: How would Sebby Jones’ new age pop-punk mesh with SAINT’s ethereal laments? Is there a place for shows where Jones’ cheerful proclamation of nymphomania can be the pathway for SAINT mourning their perceived loss of innocence? I decided to investigate, making my way to the duo’s Chicago show on February 7th and can say: I came for business, but I stayed for pleasure. 

If you’re over the age of 35 and/or don’t have children, I don’t blame you if you don’t know who either of these artists are, although they’ve both built up an impressive body of work over the last year or two: 

SAINT is the chosen name of Saint Harper-Yamaguchi, a nineteen-year-old singer-songwriter from Walnut Park, known for their devastating path through life (seriously, it’s a crazy rabbit hole), culminating in an eventual adult adoption by Hollywod leading man Austin Harper (31) last year. The young artist managed to cement their way in the contemporary music industry with the release of their sophomore album „Perish“, which received universal acclaim from critics and audiences alike and allowed Harper-Yamaguchi to be awarded the Top Artist award at the 2022 Legends Awards, beating out industry titans like Madam Vivi and Elsa Bergström. 

The other headliner, Sebby Jones has been actively releasing music a little longer than his counterpart - the twenty-two-year-old London-native is a member of controversial Gen-Z rock band „Undead“, mostly known by mainstream audiences for their controversial lyricism and cutthroat fanbase. Unlike the notoriously reclusive SAINT, a lot of Jones’ fans love him for his extroversion and boisterous personality: He first made headlines for his shotgun wedding to fellow scandal-prone teenie-rocker FOXIE, followed by the release of his solo-album „The Freak Show“ in April of last year, catapulting him into the level of  celebrity required to be cast on the 2022-season of Dollhouse, where Jones yet again became a central character after pushing „Londylicious“-singer Londyn Pierce (26) off a balcony during a verbal altercation. After this, Jones went on to win the Top New Artist award to mirror Harper-Yamaguchi’s win from that same night.

The two unlikely collaborators met „around 5 or 6“ years ago while homeless, couchsurfing together and „building a bond that most people probably wouldn’t understand“, says SAINT. The night of last year’s Legends Awards incited the feeling of finally feeling like the two had won something after being handed nothing but losses in life, causing them to make the decision that if people liked to see them separately, their bond would only improve their individual talents.

The show lasted for about two hours and was jam-packed with music, crowd-interaction, fanservice and some genuinely touching moments - I don’t want to give everything away, of course, but here’s 5 of my favorite moments of the night: 

#1 The „Golden Age“ Performance

With the crowd still on a high from Jones’ performance of „Parents“,SAINT stepped onto a completely dark stage before only the floor was illuminated in a warm white light. „And I don’t wanna talk about love anymore / Cause it’s getting too much for me“, they introduced their newest single „Golden Age“ - a very personal hymn of reflection and emptiness, wrapped in a translucent bow of eerie sentimentality: „I’m so beautiful and it’s wasted on me / Because the taste reminds me, I hate what love’s turned out to be.“ The young artist’s wistful performance though, was what really drove the point home. In light of her recent breakup with Undead frontman Axel Parrish (21), Harper-Yamaguchi’s mournfulness feels real and tangible. In its core, the performance was a raw declaration of uncertainty, a very common feeling within the artist’s generation, showcased through SAINT’s lens - deeply evocative and bleak, yet laced with a deep determination to set out and overcome.

#2 The “Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today” Performance

“To be honest with all of you, I feel shit sometimes. Life can be fucking shit, ya know? Bad days, bad months, bad years. And sometimes I feel proper sad,” Jones’ stated almost solemnly, his English accent as thick as ever as he stood centre stage. All eyes were fixated on him as the microphone was secured to the stand, an impressive swig of a beer housed in a plastic cup was taken, and then the guitar resting across his back was swung to his front as a cheeky smile appeared on his face. “But ya know what? I don’t feel like feeling sad today.” The plastic cup was launched above the crowd. As beer rained upon us, Jones wielded the guitar and the beginning chords of the unreleased song caused a wail of screams from the crowd. “But I think I’m too late and I’m sinking now / And I need somebody to pull me out.” The energy displayed within the performance by Jones was addictive, eager and it pulled us all in. As the chorus hit and the Englishman paraded from either side of the stage with the guitar, the crowd came to life even more as the warm light bled into a multicoloured array of positivity over us. “While all the people are cruel, you’re an hour away / Don’t feel like feeling sad today.” Over all, the performance exuded positivity, an absolute eagerness for happiness to rule and for all signs of negativity to fade into the dark. The way he displayed himself on that stage, I could feel the intensity from him as well as subtle undertones of desperation. The want and need for everything to be okay with the world, and perhaps within himself too.

#3 Duet Debut

Avid fans and Twitter users already found out about the fact that one of the promised „surprises“ for tour was the debut of an as-of-now untitled track that Jones and Harper-Yamaguchi perform together. Heavy guitar riffs typical for Jones’ signature style meshed together with a dreamy, glossy production finish that’s commonly seen in SAINT’s most hard-hitting tracks provide the framework for the long-awaited official collaboration between the two artists and give fans what they were asking for. The lyrics tell a story of starcrossed love, giving fans sufficient reason to go crazy with their theories: „Wide awake all night thinking about you / Do you think of me too?“ SAINT belts, sometimes overpowered by the strong instrumental, but it comes off as purposeful, as if her insecurity is being drowned out by the noise of everyday life. „I keep on losing track of time / Cause what’s the point if you’re not by my side?“ Jones questions, and I’m sure after seeing this powerful display of compatibility, fans wonder the same thing.

#4 The Rainbow Flag Moment

Something a lot of people who don’t necessarily listen to SAINT’s music can attribute to them is a series of tweets they made around the time the Legends Awards nominations were announced. They expressed frustration about the gendered categories that barred them as a gender-nonconforming artist from being nominated in some categories, which heated the discussion of inclusion of nonbinary performers in an increasingly diverse industry and cemented the 19-year-old as an important figure in the LGBTQ+ community. On the other hand, Sebby Jones’ band, Undead, has just very recently come out of a controversy concerning the use of misogynistic and homophobic language. When a pride flag was thrown on stage during an interlude, Jones eagerly picked it up, presenting it to the audience, which led to mixed reactions in the audience, with some boos ensuing and several people gesturing for him to hand it over to SAINT, who reacted with irritation: „We’re not doing this.“, they stated, taking over the mic to remind the crowd that Jones, who is bisexual, was also a member of the community and „shows people a lot more kindness than I do“. Jones appeared slightly shaken by the crowd’s reaction, but seemed equally happy for his friend’s support.

#5 The Encore

Zeke Hawthorne joins us in the Live Lounge to perform his latest single “Lights Up” but that’s not all. Hawthrone surprised fans with a sneak peak at a second song off his upcoming sophomore album titled “Watermelon Sugar” 

It’s Valentine’s Day, and reports are coming in that Madam Vivi has made a special surprise appearance in London. 

The world renowned Pop Star was seen entering through the doors of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London earlier today, and there have been a few photos circulating across social media to confirm her appearance.

One photo shows Madam Vivi sitting on the edge of a small hospital bed. A child is kneeling beside her full of smiles, and they appear to be decorating a Valentine’s Day card together.

She has not been seen exiting the premises yet, so it appears she will be spending the day there.

trigger warning: murder & gun violence

Hollywood director, James Prescott, was declared deceased after the cops were called to the home of his ex-wife, Essence Woods. Police records state that there were two calls received at 1:34 am and 1:39am stating that Prescott had allegedly broken into the singers home. This follows an appeal filed by Woods herself on the 11th of February requesting that her protective order request be re-evaluated by the chancery court clerk.

Surprise! Austin Harper, the man who keeps giving, joins us and 50 of his biggest fans early this morning for his birthday in the live lounge. Performing his hits, Death of a Bachelor, Victorious, Hallelujah. 

tw: violence, illegal drugs

Looks like trouble seems to follow the members of UNDEAD and this time it found D West Coast. The 22-year-old rapper was in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri headlining at Pepper Lounge for their annual “Crunk Christmas” event. Authorities were dispatched to the club after a call of a violent disturbance. 

According to an official statement put out by the St. Louis Police Department, two unarmed men had entered the Lounge in attempts of assaulting West. Although one man was apprehended by security near the entrance, the other had managed to find West in the VIP section where the two got into a physical altercation.
