It’s Only Tuesday, but This is Already the Best News You’ve Heard All Week

I don’t know about you but I am Y-A-W-N-I-N-G with a capital S for “Snagtooth it’s still Tuesday!!!!!” See? Do you see what I mean? I am writing this post in the voice of Sarah Palin and not the Tina Fey kind but polar bears are still the best.

What I need is a drink, but I scoured the Internet for you folks instead. Cheers!

1. Photographer Julian Wasser to Display Photographs of Joan Didion at the Danziger Gallery 

Though their photographer/writer relationship was never an exclusive one, Julian Wasser is the man behind some of the Joan Didion photos that have become almost as iconic as the woman herself. Beginning this week, the Danziger Gallery will showcase Wasser’s photos of Didion — as well as never before seen images and the contact sheet that reportedly inspired the Juergen Teller-shot Céline ad — from February 12 through March 21. (Via T Magazine: “The show, its organizers note, was set up before the Céline hullabaloo.”)

2. Caroline Issa x Nordstrom Will Fill Your Wardrobe Holes, Will Not Transport You to Narnia

Sometimes I talk to my wardrobe. I’ll say, “Wardrobe, there is not a modicum of class in you. Amal Clooney would fan herself at the tragedy that is this surplus of torn denim.” Such conversations call attention to my lack of suiting trousers, A-line skirts, and generally any piece of clothing I could use to channel the Downton Abbey staff, which is something I aim to do on at least a bi-weekly basis.

The Caroline Issa X Nordstrom collection will be my answer to this problem. It is ripe with the wardrobe staples we seem forever in search of. The collection is classic, comfortable, and practical.

3. NY Mag profiles Joanna Coles: “38 Hot Sex Moves That Will Make You a Better Feminist”

MR chatroom veteran and Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles has a treadmill desk and a signature uniform of leather pants and stilettos. Her celebrity spirit animal is John Oliver but for the sake of conversation, it’s Tilda Swinton, and she has the social skills of one very witty butterfly.

Read the piece in all of its glory here.

4. Florence and the Machine Release a New Video and It Is Weird in a Good Way 

Thank the ethereal heavens; Florence and the Machine have a forthcoming album and the video for their first new track since 2011’s Ceremonials, “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful,” rings true to its title. The video shows Florence doing a lot of whimsical fairy dancing with an equally whimsical look-a-like in — you guessed it — a dark and majestic forest.

Oh, how we’ve missed her.

5. The Best News You’ve Heard All WEEK

Allow us to pull gigantic brass bugles out of our dramatically tight denim pockets that grasp like terrified koalas to our asses and then, just as you’re thinking, “Wow, I guess those really were just gigantic brass bugles in their pants so maybe they aren’t, in fact, glad to see me,” we’ll announce two things:

1) We ARE glad to see you, but more importantly

2) You can now see us on SNAPCHAT. We’ll be updating our “story” all during fashion week, because as Joan Didion said (full circle, pizza bagel): “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.” Live with us: @man_repeller

Apologies in advance for the triple chin selfies.

(And srsly, make note of that underscore: man_repeller . Otherwise you could be getting Snapchats from I SERIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW WHO.)
