Bellucci; lipstick; Syria; among other things…
By: Gabriela Yareliz She is back– and with her own line of lipstick. Monica Bellucci, out of hiding and back. I felt like I hadn’t seen her forever until I opened this month’s Vogue. Fantastic! It is terribly shallow but there is something awesome about red lipstick and curling your hair… The New Yoker hadContinue reading “Bellucci; lipstick; Syria; among other things…”
Unknown
By: Gabriela Yareliz We meet again… it is hot outside. Let me rephrase: HOT. The best thing about a car with no AC is the fact that the open window suffices to blow you away. I look like some random gypsy today with a scarf around my head–I think I scared the Subway guy. Poor fellow.Continue reading “Unknown”

Final Days
By: Gabriela Yareliz No time to sleep. No time to brush your hair. No time to do laundry. No time. It is that time; end of the semester. Teachers’ demands reach their highest level of impossibility (wink) and they ask for what seems impossible, and we, the students, look sleep deprived and zombie-esque. Sad story. A girlContinue reading “Final Days”
