When I speak with Eleanor Friedberger she’s in her old neighborhood, Greenpoint Brooklyn, where she lived for 14 years. Exactly two years ago she moved to upstate New York to spend most of her free time “up, in the middle nowhere.” Which feels fitting, considering in January she’ll release her third solo album, appropriately entitled New View. “The most different […]
Pervert Park
Florida Justice Transitions, a non-profit based in St. Petersburg, is home to 120 convicted sex offenders.

Paz, herself, is evidence that the grandeur of life cannot be contained. Although the public might try to put […]
Alexandra Marzella
Unlike most models, Alexandra Marzella’s conventional beauty is only incidental to her body of work. But then, modeling is just a sliver of what she does. She’s made a name for herself among a band of artistic and driven young women—Tavi Gevinson and Petra Collins among them—by incorporating dance, nudity and unmitigated honesty into her performances and videos.
