“If in doubt, dress up. Don’t ever dress down – you’ll be so disappointed.”

Born 85 years ago today: fashion visionary, doyenne of punk, iconoclast and provocateur, environmental activist, true eccentric British original and Tintwistle, Cheshire’s finest export, Dame Vivienne Westwood (Vivienne Swire, 8 April 1941 – 29 December 2022). Who else would rock up to Buckingham Palace in an exquisitely tailored suit to collect her OBE medal (like she did in 1992) – and then afterward twirl for photographers to reveal she was wearing no panties beneath? (There are great photos online documenting that moment, but if I post one here, I’ll wind up in Facebook jail). What other designer would urge the public to buy LESS clothes? As a punk fanatic steeped in the lore of the Sex Pistols, making a pilgrimage to the hallowed ground of Westwood’s World’s End boutique on King’s Road (with the sloping, creaking floor) when I first moved to London in 1992 was de rigueur. I bought a white shirt which cost £75, which seemed astronomical at the time. Of course, I still wear it on special occasions to this day (even on job interviews). And of course, I hung onto the bag with the orb logo until it disintegrated. I was always envious of friends and colleagues who’d casually remark they used to regularly spot Westwood cycling around South London with her vivid dyed-orange hair flying. I only fleetingly encountered her once: at a Christeene gig downstairs at the Soho Theatre a few years ago. Excitement rippled through the crowd when Westwood and her entourage arrived. Everyone knew they were in the presence of greatness. Pictured: portrait of Westwood by Tim Walker for British Vogue, 2009.

Divide the people, fuel mistrust, harvest the chaos. It’s the oldest authoritarian trick in the playbook to tighten control. Yet, people continue falling for it… but not the residents of Dearborn, MI.

'Truly Very Sorry': Family of Fallen Marine Apologizes After Congressman Claims Pentagon Charged Them for Remains Transfer

Honoring Our Fallen, a nonprofit that supports families of deceased service members, paid for Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee's remains to be transpo

fox news is not news and is not entertainment either. fox news is a provocateur cherry picking the best time to create friction and to cause greater mayhem by falsifying information.

this matter is a perfect example. this is not freedom of speech. this is a malicious act hoping to indirectly cause bloodshed without jeopardizing their own skin.

don't be shy when you have an opportunity to clearly tell people that fox news is commercialized speech terrorism. if you're not sure why terrorism, it's because you can never tell what you may or may not have done to deserve capricious distortion of information on a massive scale against you by fox news. fox news in this case is acting also like an arsonist. setting fire just because fox news could set a fire for fun.
