One of my absolute favorite artists. I’ve got a load of their photographs all over my house in LA. Their work reminds me that I’m British and that generally speaking Brits are cooler than Americans.

She’s been my favorite since her work caught my eye on Tumblr, circa 2016. She photographs buildings, primarily in Southern California, where I live. You can find her on Instagram as casualtimetravel.
Southern California is naturally beautiful, but most of what’s been built here is based around cars - wide streets, strip malls, big parking lots - and there isn’t much beauty to be found in it.
Lots of photographers take photos of banal American architecture, but typically they seem to try to show it as ugly and soulless. Which, fair enough. SV looks at that architecture and shows us something else.
Her compositions are clever and precise, bringing elements together in brightly lit, complex compositions. The light is key for me. She embraces midday sun and its clear colors and sharp shadows. It’s what it feels like to live here where the beaming sun is an almost-daily presence.
But what really shines in her work, what I fall for every time, is the sense of humor that comes through her photos. I can imagine her smiling as she composes them, happy to see how she can bring the elements together for the viewer. Yes, the dull architecture is there, but it’s been cropped and composed into something almost whimsical.
It’s always there, in the supermarket parking lot, the back of a strip mall, the stucco facade of an office building, it just takes an artist to show it to us.

Brent is my favorite photographer right now. He shoots a lot of grainy hot girls writhing around on the floor. His muse, this girl named Zaina that I sometimes see at Lucien, is a great muse. He often works with his friend the stylist Myles Xavier. Any image that the three of them are involved in is perfect. Friends working together is such a New York thing... when it works, it works.

Ok so this beauty product is something I never leave the house without and if I accidentally do, I will literally turn the Uber around to go home and get it. I went on accutane when I was around 24 or 25 and since then my lips have always been consistently craving moisture. I tried a load of different lip balms and creams and whatever and the only one that truly saved me was the la neige lip sleeping mask. I’ve been using it like 5 times a day, every day for the past 5 years. I’m obsessed.

Maybe I’m a bit late on this but I only just discovered Tara Reid’s tiktok resurrection. I kind of think she’s the new queen of the internet and I’d give anything for her to stare seductively into the camera and sing one of my songs. She posts a lot of a cappella covers with her bffs Jedward and in the past she’s covered toxic and wonderwall so I can only imagine I’m up next.
