Tsatsamis: ‘Gays Are Bitchy And We Love It’

Mirror, mirror. It’s the question every fairy tale gets wrong. The one the wicked queen asks isn’t really about being the fairest, it’s about being seen as the fairest. Peter Tsatsamis-Cooper has spent the last year writing a mixtape about a version of that question. Tsycophant came out in April, and is a record about wanting to be wanted, by the cooler group at the party, by the boy who doesn’t care, by the friends-of-friends whose approval shouldn’t matter and does. 


It’s a Wednesday mornin...

Exclusive: Inside Die Twice’s New Music Video Jalapeño - The Cold Magazine

Nobody plans to meet their future music video director on the tube at midnight with a guitar case in their face. But that’s how Die Twice met Milo Hume, the director behind Geese‘s Au Pays du Cocaine, and Cold has the exclusive first look at what came out of it. “They had all these amps and cases and shit falling all over the place,” he says. “It was a total mess.” They got talking, and Hume was invited down to Brighton for the next one.


“Me and some friends go down, see the show, it’s loud a...

The Goat — Featuring Represent x Belstaff

Calling all bikers (or let’s be real, people who just want to look like bikers) — Represent has dropped its second collaboration with Belstaff  and it’s a real love letter to the archive. The hero piece is a heavy duty leather racing jacket lifted straight from the sponsored riding gear Belstaff was knocking out in the ’90s. The campaign was shot on Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire, where the British seaside meets the muddy, scrappy energy of off-road motocross. Rev your engines and cop the coll...

Equestrian Fashion Is Off To The Races – Why Riding Gear Is The Look Of The Season

2026 is the Lunar Year of the Horse, and it seem fashion has taken the brief literally. In March, Stella McCartney turned a riding school in the Bois de Boulogne into a Paris Fashion Week set piece. Five black horses and five white ones cantered into a sandy ring, weaving past each other in choreography before a single model emerged. The collection that followed showcased thigh-high riding boots, suit trousers reworked as stirrup pants and sequin dresses with hip bustles. Perhaps it was her dire...

Exclusive: Inside LP's New Music Video 'Shelly', An Intimate Portrait Of A Friend

Some songs are born with a pencil and a notebook. LP’s “Shelly” was born from a catch up call with a friend.


“We spoke briefly about how she was super happy and having fun with a new guy she was dating,” LP says. The details were rattling around in LP’s head when they walked into the studio with producer Mike Del Rio and co-producer PJ Bianco. Mike, listening to a rough track he’d just put down, asked the casual question that lit the fuse: “Oh, how is Shelly?” LP burst out with the line that...

Roundtable: A Review of BTS’ ‘ARIRANG’ - Atwood Magazine

— —

Jada: We have this saying amongst fans that “BTS’ music finds you when you need it most,” and it is one statement I agree with as well. Although it seems like just yesterday when I first listened to my very first BTS album, next month will make eight years of being a fan of BTS’ music.

Roisin: BTS was in my household before I even knew who they were. I remember coming home in the car after a long day of early morning revision and some kind of sport after school with a packed schedule you c...

Will Brown has turned his pain into a postcode, and you’re invited

Most people clock in to work with a sugary jolt of caffeine. Will Brown clocks in breathless, music flooding his headphones, new ideas coming in tow with his effervescent footsteps. A desk could never be the 27-year-old’s creative sanctuary. That said, you won’t catch Brown doing leg day at the gym unless he absolutely has to. “I always joke with my trainer that I have Naomi Campbell legs,” he laughs. 
But long before the StairMaster or his marathon “meditation walks” became Brown’s thinking spa...

Maryze Is Done With Hollywood’s Expiry Date for Women

When Maryze moved to Hollywood from Montreal, she was told to lie about her age. Which meant an Instagram post celebrating her 34th birthday was seen as controversial:


“We’re all on different timelines ~ Call me a late bloomer, but it took me till my 30s to follow my dreams full throttle. And now they’re coming true?? Blessed this birthday & so much ahead.”


It was the kind of birthday post you might make without a second thought. Friends messaged to tell her she was brave, which still make...

'Dear Jack, Dear Louise' Is the Best Date You'll Never Go On

Is the perfect relationship having someone you can’t wait to run and tell things to? Someone whose whole world you know, the side characters, the running jokes, the small decisions they agonise over, because they’ve shared it all with you. Ken Ludwig’s Dear Jack, Dear Louise at the Arcola Theatre asks whether that intimacy even needs two people in the same room to exist.


Sitting in the Arcola as crackly wartime radio filled the air, I found myself convinced that it doesn’t. Based on the true...

Could The Stars Decide Your Wedding Date?

You’ve checked the venue availability. You’ve argued about the guest list. You’ve colour-matched the napkins to the bridesmaid dresses. But have you checked what Jupiter is doing that weekend? For a growing number of couples, astrological wedding planning is the way forward.
Sceptics may raise an eyebrow, but the numbers suggest they’re in the minority. A major 2025 Pew Research study found that close to one in three Americans turns to astrology at least annually, and among women of marrying ag...

Inside The Analogue Room Trend Where Phones Aren't Welcome

A record is playing and you’ve left your phone in another room. The needle drops and the weight on your shoulders does too. There’s a drink on the side table, books on the shelves, and the only light visible shines through the window. Outside this room, the world is pinging and refreshing and demanding and scrolling. In here, time feels strange. It seems to have slowed down. 
This is the fantasy at the heart of the analogue room. Gone are the days when the cinema or the home gym were the most co...

Celebrities Are Becoming Death Doulas – But What Does That Mean?

The chairs were arranged in a horseshoe and a grieving family filled them, all eyes turning to the young woman who had just walked through the hospital door. In 2018, 27-year-old Dr Emma Clare had just days of training under her belt and felt her stomach drop. 
She had almost talked herself out of coming. Someone had seen her post on social media about a foundation course she’d just completed in end-of-life doula training and reached out to her out of the blue. Their dad was dying in hospital an...

Best Ballet & Opera To See In London This Season, As Recommended By Timothée Chalamet (Sort Of)

The performing arts world has found a champion in the most unlikely of places. When three-time Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet publicly told Matthew McConaughey in February that he had no interest in working in ballet or opera – stating, and we quote, ‘I don’t want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it’s like, “Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore”‘ – he probably didn’t anticipate the subsequent furor from fans.
But, rather than joi...

Don't Sweat It – Well, Actually Do: A Beginner's Guide To Spin

I can still picture my first rhythm cycling class, especially the music vibrating through the room and the confidence of riders who seemed born to move in time with the beat. I felt like I’d stumbled into an alternate universe of impossibly fit, impossibly coordinated athletes.
There’s a snapshot in my mind of that class when everyone was rising to sprint while I stayed firmly in the saddle, equal parts intimidated and inspired. At that moment, I made a promise to myself that I would come back u...

Review: Sweat, sketches, and shared spaces in House Of Gloss

What is home? Is it the place that raised you, or the place where you can finally exhale and be most yourself?


Mark Lyken’s 2024 documentary House of Gloss comes to True Story on 10 April. In a way, it raises these questions, but most importantly, it lives through its subjects, Opal and Lana.


It follows a young trans femme couple at the heart of Dundee’s queer community, Opal a drag performer and Lana a DJ. Their relationship allows queerness to exist without overexplaining it or sensation...
