Jayne Mansfield died in a car crash 49 years ago today. It is an urban myth that she was decapitated – that is her wig you see on the windscreen and beside the dead chihuahua in the death scene pictures. Neither was she ‘scalped’ as some would argue. The coroner who examined her says her […]

Entitled Samurai Sissy, the stark black and white 1979 portrait by French artist and conceptualist Jean-Paul Goude depicted steel-cheekboned Amazonian black supermodel turned disco chanteuse Grace Jones wrapped in a dramatic padded-shouldered Issey Miyake creation.

Today – if she had lived – Judy Garland would have been 94. It’s hard to imagine her surviving this long. But heck – her daughter Liza is 70. Who’d have thought that would happen? (Though obvs thank the goddess she is still here!) Still, cuz she started in show business when she was 3, […]

You sent in your dilemmas for our favourite Aussie housewife, Cherylyn Barnes, and she kept it real with the blunt kind of advice we’ve come to expect…. Dear Chez, I’ve got a couple of guys on the scene right now. You know how it is. I’ve been sending dick pics and shit to them. It’s […]
