The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) in Richmond has been making waves nationally, recently securing a spot among the top 20 art museums in the U.S., according to The Washington Post. Recognized by the Post’s critics Philip Kennicott and Sebastian Smee, the VMFA...
HEY. Guys. Remember in my last post when I said that sometimes I won’t make fun of anyone at all? This is not one of those days. Remember how I said that if I ever make fun of you, I’m only joking? Well, I lied. At least in this case. Because if I ever, EVER catch any of my male friends, or any male stranger, for that matter, in the horrifying...
I really get psyched about people that have passion. Honestly, it can be for anything. I don’t care if you’re into collecting stamps--as long as you know your stuff and have a good collection to back it, I’m sold. Kate Jennings seamlessly balances a few different passions, from teaching, to photography, to running her own online clothing store,...
Bruised, bloody and beaten: these were a few words that came to mind when I first saw Julia Scott’s work. While doing some research on local design group Yours Truly, of which Julia was a member, I came across a few posters and illustrations she had done. I felt a little uncomfortable about the violent and abusive feelings that I got from her...

She draws inspiration from works of literature as disparate as cyberpunk science fiction and biographies of historical figures, as well as from her favorite haunts around the city. Recently graduated from VCU, she’s already had her work shown at...
Support the troops doesn't mean try to dress like them. What's the first thing American soldiers do when they get home? Change their fucking clothes. You see, most rational human beings realize that camouflage has a solely utilitarian purpose, and it would look ridiculous to wear it around in public. And using AK-47s, brass knuckles, hand...
…so basically, it’s not really like summer camp at all. Unless the summer camp you used to attend included copious amounts of cheap beer and naked ladies. Also file under the copious-amounts-of category: Ray-Bans and Ray-Ban knock-offs, short-shorts, camel-toes, really creepy moustaches, paint, cigarettes, tattoos and generally bad life...
Let's be honest, men's sandals aren't cool. They are appropriate for certain occasions, where large bodies of water are involved, but otherwise they fail as fashionable footwear. The look vigorously teeters between "I love pedicures" and "Pass the bowl, brah," depending on what they're paired with. The most important reason why people should hate...
When a girl in this town gets her picture taken, there are a lot of things going through her head. "Do my arms look fat?," "Do I look bi-curious enough?," and "O-M-G is this going up on Dirty Richmond?" are just a few. A question she should probably consider is "Do my feet look stupid?" One person that forgot to ask herself that question is this...
This is what happens with every major trend in city boy style. About 5 years too late, word gets around to the fraternities and they proceed to run it into the ground. Maybe they have a secret meeting on what trend to kill next, right after the paradoxical discussion on how the borderline-gay activity that occurs in the house juxtaposes with the...
