Embracing My Feminine Side As a Gay Man Led to My Power
It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact moment I learned that who I am at my core wasn’t what the world wanted from someone born a boy. As far back as I can remember, I’ve been labeled feminine. How I walked, talked, moved, held a pencil, or even laughed seemed to invite commentary, ridicule, and insult. I understood very early on as a child that the things I naturally gravitated toward — softness, creativity, beauty — were considered for girls and therefore not meant for me. But for me, femininity didn’t feel soft. It felt powerful. I was mesmerized watching my mother transform with a fresh blowout, her makeup like war…

About the Prosthetic Penises in The White Lotus
There’s plenty to unpack in the unfolding of “The White Lotus” season three: the tension between trio of friends Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie, the Ratliff family’s impending financial ruin, the diabolical return of Greg (Gary?) partying on Tanya’s yacht. Like seasons past, there are also penises galore. Set in a tropical seaside resort by the same name in Koh Samui, it’s the perfect backdrop for baring all — and bare all, Timothy Ratcliff (played by Jason Isaacs) did. In a now-viral moment four episodes in, the world watched while a stressed-out con dad let his proverbial snake slither outside his robe. The full-frontal nudity left plenty of people wondering: are…

It’s not someone’s impending death (too obvious), nor the pig-tailed monkeys peering in from the trees (too cute). No, the real villain to emerge this season seems to be something far more universal: aging. There are thinly veiled references to society’s obsession with youth in every episode thus far, although you see it most blatantly among trio of “friends” Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie (played by Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, and Carrie Coon, respectively). At first, the nods were subtle: the back-and-forth…

Plus, you’re more likely to look forward to fresh Botox than your bi-annual teeth cleaning. But did you know that if you inject a neuromodulator (like Botox or Daxxify) into one area of the face, facial harmony dictates you may want to inject it in another to maintain overall balance? One part of the face that sometimes disrupts facial harmony is your undereye…
