My New Year’s Resolutions

A new me.

Viola Davis in "The Help"

  • Tell myself every night before I go to bed: “You is kind, you is strong, you is important.”
  • Lose enough weight to be able to change my Adam4Adam profile body type from “average” to “athletic.”
  • Never read more than 20% of a book that sucks (here’s looking at you, Steig).
  • Spend the commute to and from work reading (as opposed to listening to “Toxic” on repeat on my iPod.)
  • Never eat at McDonalds before 2 a.m.
  • Stop buying a new magazine subscription every three days.
  • Get cast on a reality show (and be the villain you can’t help but love.)
  • Date Lance Bass to get Andy Cohen’s attention. Get stolen away by Andy Cohen.
  • Learn the difference between Franzia and expensive wine.
  • Figure out what people see in Michael Fassbender.
  • Do my part to get Jeff Probst’s talk show cancelled and Amber Rose deported from America.
  • Develop an understanding of what people who work on Wall Street do/ what the economy is.
  • Refuse at all times to be a basic bitch.

Lady Bareface

Lady Gaga for Harper's Bazaar, Oct 11

Lady Gaga for Harper's Bazaar, Oct 11

If it seems like Lady Gaga was just on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar, that’s because she was. In May. It is notable, however, as Derek Blasberg points out, because it is the first black and white cover the magazine will sell on newstands in 20 years.  The magazine is also apparently touting this one as “basically bare-faced” sans make-up, but The Cut is calling bluff.  Oh, well. One out of two ain’t bad! [Pop Bytes]

Beyonce for Complex

Beyonce is this month’s cover subject for Complex. The magazine is the style and design issue. How cool is the typography design? It’s a little butterfly-esque, no? Lawd, don’t let this mean she’s going Mariah Carey on us. [Gossip On This]
