Tupac Shakur was released from prison on October 12, 1995, after Death Row Records paid his bail of nearly one and a half million dollars, allowing him to record three albums.
'We had a few songs that we were like, 'These are really good, these are genius, and we are the Spice Girls slash Destiny's Child,' said singer Ayden Mayeri in the documentary, on which she served as director.
At that point, [the Islanders] viewed themselves as kind of a failed franchise that had not won a Stanley Cup in a decade and was coming down from this period of great success, said Nick Hirshon, the author of We Want Fish Sticks, which chronicles the Islanders' controversial rebranding, and a journalism professor at William Paterson University. And now the Rangers just won the Stanley Cup in that market, the Devils were on the up, and up, so maybe the Islanders could not afford a brand new arena or new players, but they could make some money by unveiling a new jersey.
Beleaguered Louvre president Laurence des Cars quits after a historic heist under her watch. The next morning, a new leader is announced. It's Christophe Leribault from the Palace of Versailles, a true museum animal who ran a few during his career.
R&B in the 21st century has been in a constant state of flux, tugged between safe traditionalism and blurry attempts at progression. For the last decade-plus that "progression" has seen R&B music become more indebted to trap records and the moody atmospherics of alternative bands like Radiohead, Coldplay, or My Bloody Valentine.
McCready's story captures the drive and sense of community that forged the powerful backbone of the Seattle music scene of the 1980s, as their world changed forever with the explosion of grunge in the '90s. Farewell to Seasons unflinchingly shows the brutal cost it had for so many artists and musicians as it captures the lived experience of that seminal era.
My driving belief is that we need to be able to communicate, to touch humanity, to try to connect to each other in some way, but I'm also not trying to forgive or underplay the extremities. There was fighting either between different factions or just for fun. Initially, what I saw was deeply shocking. When you're in those environments, it's so venomous and hateful.
Whether you're pulling out the stops with pockets, prints or preppy know-how, you can't go wrong with showing off the lightweight outerwear this spring. Along the way, I clocked a lot of really cool jackets, and damn did the wearers look good.
A dark gel base creates depth, layered with a silver cat-eye polish that's magnetized so the shimmer pools toward the center like a glowing orb. On top, an iridescent chrome powder creates that signature color shift. Of course, none of these techniques are new - chrome powders and cat-eye gels have both been trending on their own recently - but paired together, they deliver a nail design that feels surprisingly fresh.
So I've seen generations change, and Gen Z is the generation that's most similar to my generation, the sixties. They're very value-driven. They're concerned with climate, they're concerned with authenticity, truth, being who they are, and relationships.
A group of Gen Zers 200 deep, snaked down Houston Street in hopes of shopping at a pop-up for Rogue, a Y2K-focused vintage retailer operated by the TikTok star. Inside, they browsed racks of vintage picks and vinyl records, but it was the charismatic, acid-green-haired Rogue, who was arguably the biggest draw. She posed for selfies with fans, as she does at all her stores, which are styled like deliberately dishevelled millennial bedrooms, complete with early-2000s ephemera like Britney Spears posters.
Millennials, welcome to your mom jeans era. I don't mean that you're obligated to wear the jeans you made fun of your own mother for wearing 20 years ago. Those are actually cool now! The uncool fit is those skinny jeans you practically slept in during the 2010s. Oh, and Gen Z, before you laugh, that combo of loose-leg light-denim jeans and white sneakers you love will date you soon enough.
"When I read the fine print, it was 'an experience with REO Speedwagon's music.' It's none of the original members," Fletcher recalls. "I don't want to promote the show unless it's the real thing. I don't know why you would want to see that. It's just a cover band. To me, that's a little bit strange." He adds, with a sigh, "If there are no original members, who cares?"
Every micro-trend is swiftly dubbed ("Italian summer nails" or some such), and the most elaborate looks are often confined to the wearer's own home - all dolled up and nowhere to go. But before some of today's beauty influencers were born (the late '80s and '90s, let's say), full beats were meant to be flaunted in public. In those years, no group burned brighter than the club kids, whose visual rebellion through makeup signaled a sense of freedom against the somber backdrop of the AIDS epidemic.
"After more than a decade of bronzed beauty - from golden skin to liquid bronzers - we're seeing a return to the cool-toned elegance of the '90s," says celebrity makeup artist Gemma Peace. The only problem? "Most makeup launches have leaned heavily toward warm, orange-based tones." Enter blue lip gloss: the easy hack to make your current products look fresh and modern.
