They crackled and growled, warning us that yes, they would soon be lit by strikes overhead, lighting the sky up – a [...]

COLLAPSE OF CONSTRUCTION | ACCEPTANCE & ACCELERATION
As Bella put wonderfully, when there is diversity, we need to learn to go beyond tolerance and move towards wholeheartedly accepting the differences between us.

Prose by Charles Hermesmann Photography by Trevor Wee, model Elysia Tay All that was left of Papa after he jumped was a little red blemish on the concrete, small as a star and nearly invisible from the clock’s balcony view.

Nina Nesbitt: Maker of THE SUN WILL COME UP, THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
THE SUN WILL COME UP, THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE There she was. Nina Nesbitt, decked out in a stunning one-of-a-kind, short-sleeved neon jacket over a tank and denim shorts. The room seemed so small, hardly spacious enough to contain the wonderful energy, the amazing spirit of the Scottish songstress. We hugged, and I still can't believe [...]
