I was getting very worried. The deadlines for the pictures where coming up and my face, Rufio had already cancelled 3 appointments we made for the photo-shoot. Our magazine’s editor in chief, Genna Gold reminded me that part of the job is to be persistent. Call him, text him, email him. “Annoy the shit out of this guy” she said with...

My great grandmother was a strict, cool woman that was never without a hat and a pair of calf-skin gloves. She was impeccably dressed–usually in one of her many designer ensembles that she held in the same esteem as a Rodeo Drive knock off. Her personality was just as sharp as her impossibly high cheekbones and perfectly polished nails....

First I would like to thank everyone for responding to my previous post with such fervor. I did not expect to receive so many messages in my gmail inbox; it was a great shock. Thank you for your enthusiasm!   Likewise I have been keeping tallies as promised and so far these are the top locations. TOKYO, JAPAN, BERLIN, GERMANY and LONDON, ENGLAND: tied with 12...

After a long summer spent filling my passport with long awaited stamps and working at my favorite store K.Sp. *wink* it is time to get back in the journalistic saddle. With the Bull Magazine‘s theme set on “Culture/Subculture” a great many ideas for possible stories were thrown around the newsroom like colored powder on Holi Day in India. Now although I am...

With the leaves turning and the winds churning bringing with them the first chill of winter I thought it high time to update my wardrobe.
