When a Postponed Wedding Just Means More Time to Perfect the Fit

By anita 10 hours ago

The night that Tom Hanks shared his coronavirus diagnosis—also the night it was announced that both the NBA season and international flights would be suspended—it was unlikely that many people were thinking about the save-the-dates posted on their fridges. But for those of us whose names appeared on those cards, a once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic caused a different kind of anxiety. My wedding was supposed to be May 30, and in grieving its loss I’ve found relief in a surprising place: obsessing over old celebrity wedding-fit pics.

It started when I discovered that with my new wedding date—May 1, 2021—I’ll share an anniversary with Elvis and Priscilla Presley. Check out The King in a black paisley tux and a crown of slicked-back hair. It got me thinking: Should I use all the time I now have before my wedding to get something similarly elaborate made?

The options are truly infinite, as

Robert Redford’s Favorite Watch Is No Ordinary Rolex

By anita 2 days ago

I had just finished making an exhibition for a gallery in Paris when the coronavirus crisis hit. The show, and everything else I was working on, was immediately put on hold. For the first time in years, I had no deadlines. I figured I could occupy myself in quarantine by drawing about death, a constant theme in my work—but instead I decided to let myself have fun. So I’ve been using the extra time to work on an idea that had been in my head for the past 18 months or so, a series of paintings of classic American icons: Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, and Robert Redford.

The day I started, I put on my 1972 Rolex ref. 1680 “Red Line” Submariner, and I have barely taken it off since. We’re all searching for comfort and something familiar right now. This little piece of steel from 48 years ago

Koch’s illustrations have appeared on the cover of The Paris Review, and her comics and zines are highly collectible.

House of Ruin

Location: Joshua Tree
Years practicing: 5+
Specialty: Artful stick-and-poke

Aidan Koch is best known as the author of three book-length comics and as an artist whose dreamlike illustrations have been shown in galleries from L.A. to Paris. But in the past few years, Koch’s stick-and-poke tattoo practice, which she does under the nom de needle House of Ruin, has developed a devoted cult following in the underground art and fashion communities. “If you know, you know,” says Brooklyn-based artist and writer Diamond Stingily, who has “about 10” of Koch’s delicate ink drawings. “Aidan’s work is so distinct to her,” Stingily says of Koch’s appeal. “She doesn’t do anything for clout. She respects her craft.”

Most of Aidan Koch’s clients find her through her House of Ruin Instagram.

The Best Sheet Masks Are Hydrating Marvels for Dull, Distressed Skin

Besides making you look like a Miyazaki ghost or a science fiction villain, the best sheet masks can do wonders for your skin. The big thing to know is that they work in different ways: many of them are hydrators, packed with serums to help skin stay nourished, bright, and youthful. But these product-coated paper masks are every bit as varied as the best face masks that come out of a jar: They can exfoliate, reverse signs of aging, deep clean your pores, shrink those pores, or reduce oil and shine. They can bring you back from a stressful week, a late night (or morning) at the club, or get you primed and perky for a big date. Here are our nine of the best sheet masks at the moment. Most can be incorporated into your skin regimen once a week or as-needed after cleansing.

Bubble Boys: The NBA’s New Relaxed Dress Code Kisses the Suit Goodbye

By anita 5 days ago

In planning the NBA’s effort to restart at the end of July, league officials have reconsidered just about everything. In a 113-page handbook outlining health and safety protocols obtained by the New York Times, the NBA laid out rules for playing poker (masks on, throw the pack straight into the garbage once finished), ping-pong (absolutely no doubles), and snorkeling (BYOSnorkel). The league is also rethinking what players wear in The Bubble: They will be able to change the name on the back of their jerseys to ones related to “social justice issues,” and, strikingly, the league’s infamous dress code is loosening up, according to Athletic reporter Shams Charania.

The new dress code allows for players to go without a sports coat on the bench, and for them to wear short- or long-sleeve polos for “team/league business.” These might sound like small changes, but in a league
