Rare Gathering of Former First Ladies Shows Style, and Subtle Differences

Image
[ad_1] In any other circumstance it would have been a shocking sight. But it was only fitting that in her death Rosalynn Carter, the pioneering woman who turned the role of first lady into a job , did one final thing no one else has been able to do this year: lure Melania Trump out of Mar-a-Lago and back into the public eye. Not only that, but she created a situation in which Mrs. Trump was seated right next to Michelle Obama. Mrs. Trump has eschewed almost every major event since leaving the White House in January 2021, including her husband’s several court appearances (the rare exception being his November 2022 announcement that he was once again running for president). But on Tuesday, as is custom, she joined the three other living former first ladies — Mrs. Obama, Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush — as well as Jill Biden, the current first lady, at the Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church in Atlanta, for Mrs. Carter’s memorial service. “Rosalynn Carter would be so pleased she

Decoding Kiara, Sidharth's wedding looks | The Express Tribune

Image
[ad_1] One of Bollywood’s most sought-after couples, Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra, tied the knot in Jaisalmer on Tuesday. From a palace wedding to regal Manish Malhotra outfits, the evening witnessed the lovebirds seal the deal in a dreamy yet intimate affair. The bride wore a blush pink lehenga with green emerald studded diamond jewellery with minimal makeup and a sleek bun. Typically worn by north Indian brides, the kalirey have become a fashion staple in recent years. But Kiara was seen sporting them with a twist! Dangling down from both her wrists, the customised arm candy featured stars, the bride and groom’s initials, their pets and favourite travel destination. Meanwhile, the groom was clad in a beige sherwani for his wedding. Not to miss, the minimalistic varmalas worn by Kiara and Sidharth, are made of fresh white flowers. They are surely going to serve as an inspiration for many brides and grooms to be in the coming months. Ace designer Manish, on his couture

Forgive me for what I wore at my wedding: Ushna Shah | The Express Tribune

Image
[ad_1] Actor Ushna Shah got married last weekend to her beau, an Austrian golfer, Hamza Amin and while her big day was beautiful, it was interrupted by a few uninvited guests who ruined the memory for her. Shah earlier called out a blogger for bringing a plus one, a photographer who brought a drone when the invite was only for the former. However, she has now issued an apology because she truly wanted to “move on” from the chaos. Shah also announced that she will be taking a break from social media for a few days since the negative comments have affected her mental health deeply and made her question her profession. "I haven't reacted to online trolling for years, but I am a human being at a very vulnerable time of my life; a new bride in a new home," she wrote on Instagram. ​ Talking about how the breach of privacy made her upset, she added, "From hiring photography teams who signed NDAs to hiring security and strict guest lists at the door, I wanted to pro

Ed Tutor, 'Razia' can help girls achieve their educational dreams | The Express Tribune

Image
[ad_1] Express Entertainment’s limited drama series is catching the audience’s attention as Razia maps out the journey of a young girl who is passionate about her education and wants to become a doctor. Sadly, her family staunchly believes that girls are a burden rather than a blessing and cuts her off from achieving her dreams, having a say in her life choices, and preventing her from even stepping out for any recreation (let alone schooling).  Razia’s father orders her to stay home, and refuses to finance her further education, even though she is the one who achieved the first position in her board exams, topping within the region - and is the one who works hard, making her family proud. Society prides itself in raising girls who are able to cook appetizing dishes for their husbands in desperate efforts to win their hearts, to become the perfect homemakers, obedient, submissive and undemanding, after they wed, instead of making sure they receive an education – thus depriving t

No Deposits This Year at Love Bank, a Museum of Affection Hit by Fire

Image
[ad_1] For romantics looking to display their passion and devotion, the Love Bank in Slovakia has plenty of room in its Love Vault where 7,000 people have already deposited their keepsakes and symbols of affection, whether reciprocated or unrequited. But this Valentine’s Day, the bank will be closed. Its medieval building, once home to the muse for what is called “the world’s longest love poem,” almost burned down last March — the result, apparently, of an electrical fault, not rapture run amok. But love proved eternal. Left intact was the building’s underground vault where couples and aspiring paramours from around the globe have secreted their totems and messages in tiny Love Boxes. Also undamaged: the text of the 19th-century love poem that wraps around the walls of the vault like the ivy of infatuation. The whole idea of a tourist attraction built as a guileless ode to love, and shrine to a Slovak poem, may strike you, at first blush, as defying both rhyme and reason. But sinc

Taylor Swift Now Has More No. 1 Albums Than Any Woman in History

Image
[ad_1] When Taylor Swift released “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” this month, there was no doubt it would debut at No. 1. The only questions were how forcefully it would smash records, how many mountains of vinyl it would sell and how far down the chart Swift’s catalog would push everybody else. “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” the third installment in Swift’s series of rerecorded albums — this one recreating “Speak Now” from 2010, with a thick appendix of tracks revisited from the cutting-room floor — is the year’s biggest new LP, notching the equivalent of 716,000 sales in the United States. It easily topped Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time,” which opened with 501,000 in March. But that is not all. It is Swift’s 12th No. 1 album, beating Barbra Streisand for the most chart-toppers by a woman. Drake also has 12 No. 1 albums, but the only acts with more are Jay-Z (14) and the Beatles (19). The popularity of Swift’s Eras Tour has lifted her entire catalog, and this week, in addi

When Books Go Viral

Image
[ad_1] Today’s newsletter is a tale of two very different book sagas. One involves Taylor Swift. The other is the story of a little-known Twitter user with a risqué name who accidentally instigated the most delightful thing that’s happened on Twitter in [checks notes] a really long time. We’ll begin with the latter. It goes like this: On Sunday, a Twitter account devoted to the anime series “Trigun” tweeted the following plea to their followers: The book “This Is How You Lose the Time War,” by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, was critically acclaimed when it was released in 2019, winning a Hugo Award for Best Novella the following year. (El-Mohtar is also a columnist who writes about sci-fi books for The Times. ) What happened next was surprising. Twitter is great for shitposting and — somewhat less recently — keeping up with the news, but isn’t historically so great at motivating users to do things IRL. In this case, though, the tweets appear to have motivated some people t

Too Short’s Long (and Very Raunchy) Life in Rap

Image
[ad_1] The imagery on these records would echo across rap’s landscape. “I could hear what other artists were doing when they were talking about this player, pimp image, the Cadillacs and the funky music,” Too Short says. “I knew where it was coming from. They told me. I saw it in Outkast. I saw it in Snoop Dogg. I saw it in UGK. It was clear. What I was doing was infectious.” The laconic, seen-it-all attitude would reverberate, too; you can hear its echoes in Jay-Z’s detached crime narratives, in Master P’s bass-heavy self-mythologization, in the granular focus of T.I., Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane’s drug-trade reflections. Even as he found national fame, Too Short kept his focus on Oakland, proving to everyone that the most hyperspecific regional references could, on record, feel universal. It’s a lesson rap has never forgotten — and only one among many it learned, in large part, from this rapper. To understand Too Short’s influence, it’s useful to consider that he found national

Looking for Freedom, Isaac Julien Comes Home

Image
[ad_1] Freedom ripples as an undercurrent through the works of the British artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien. For four decades, he has produced boundary-stretching works addressing racism, homophobia, migration and colonialism, from experimental documentaries to lavish multiscreen installations; in all of them an activist spirit is counterbalanced with opulent imagery and sound. Some critics have found Julien’s films too beautiful for the fraught subjects they treat, and like the work of many of his Black peers in Britain who came to prominence in the 1980s, his aesthetic innovations were long overlooked by the art establishment there, which preferred to view his work through a reductive lens of identity. Now, a major exhibition at Tate Britain, in London, is the culmination of a trajectory that began on the margins, with films for television and cinema, and evolved into something more elaborate that belongs in a gallery setting. The show, called “What Freedom Is to Me” and runnin

The moment Matthew Perry tore into ‘complete tool’ Peter Hitchens on Newsnight

[ad_1] Stay ahead of the trend in fashion and beyond with our free weekly Lifestyle Edit newsletter Stay ahead of the trend in fashion and beyond with our free weekly Lifestyle Edit newsletter Matthew Perry , who has died suddenly aged 54 , was known around the world as Chandler Bing, the saracastic king of the one-liner on the hit sitcom Friends. Yet in his later years he also became a fierce advocate for addiction recovery, speaking frankly about his own struggles with drug and alcohol abuse over the years. Outside of Friends, one of his most memorable TV appearances was in 2013, when he debated addiction on the BBC’s current affairs programme Newsnight with Baroness Meacher, an advocate for drug policy reform, and controversial author and broadcaster Peter Hitchens . Perry was invited on to discuss specialist drug courts , in which former addicts would sit as magistrates in order to pass a more informed judgement on abuse-related offences by non-violent addicts. “I know that
