Although most of us will never be able to afford iced out chains, bracelets, or grills, we can always appreciate the artistry that goes into jewelry. It isn’t easy to create these pieces in the first place. So it was crazy to see that last month plenty of rappers unveiled pieces that weren’t just run-of-the-mill iced […]
Lady Dimitrescu—heiress of the Dimitrescu family, mistress of Castle Dimitrescu, and starring villain of Resident Evil Village—is 9’6, including her hat and high heels.

The Toronto FC are playing soccer right now in Florida. It’s the same old story: one of our great local sports franchises has had to play out the regular season south of the border while the pandemic winds down, and in the meantime, we here in Canada have to do without. But even though the […]
The 2021 NFL Draft concluded Saturday in Cleveland after three days of non-stop action. We saw 259 players fulfill their dream and all 32 NFL teams acquire a bevy of players who will hopefully help lead their franchise to a championship. It’s our time to grade every team’s haul. Of course time will help us separate […]
Being respected and welcomed into the sneaker community can be a laborious journey for anyone. It’s a tediously gate-kept space that has rapidly grown into its own male-dominated culture that often provides female sneakerheads with little to no freedom to thrive.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, I had no idea when I’d ever be interviewing Michael B. Jordan. Not that it’d never happen, but with his trajectory—he’s not only starring in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, an action film that truly showcases Jordan as the leading hero, but he’s producing a number of projects, all while gearing up […]
