Malan Breton & Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin Deliver Their Twist on "I'll Be Home For Christmas"
The new single arrives in perfect time for the holidays
12.02.2020
Fashion Designer Malan Breton returns with his signature voice, this time just in time for the holidays.
The duo offer a new twist on the classic Christmas tune, "I'll Be Home For Christmas." The single, geared up for release on December 4th, is a duet with chart topping recording artist Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin. Breton's baritone sways with Consuelo's honeyed mezzo soprano as the duo deliver a beautiful rendition for the holidays.
<p>The holiday rework is a follow up to Malan's "Something Stupid" reboot, which was a hit on the iTunes chart and hit Top 10 in France, Top 5 in Greece, Top 10 in the UK, and Top 100 in the US. The song currently has nearly 1 million streams on Spotify.<br></p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-630"> </div>
<!-- End Ezoic - underfirst11 - under_first_paragraph --></p><p>"We have been friends for years and we have supported each other's business endeavors throughout the years but never in music. It felt right on this Christmas Classic," Consuelo says of working with Breton. "I wanted something special and magical and I think we have done just that on this track and with the backdrop of my fashion designs," said Breton, "and with the classic Vanderbilt mansion it will bring that idea of magic!"</p><p>As one of Taiwan's brightest entrepreneurs, Breton is also an award-winning director, writer, actor, performer and over all prolific icon. "Over the course of the last six months, I think our worlds have become very small out of necessity but in saying that, our definition of home has expanded to include whoever is in your small world," Breton says of the holiday track. "Whether they be close friends or family members. I think this very traditional song takes on a new meaning when we look at home from that perspective."</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

The Rockefeller Christmas Tree Owl Is Giving Me Hope for 2020
After being trapped in this year's Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, a tiny owl has been rescued and is on its way to recovery.
11.19.2020
Each winter, an estimated 125 million people flock to 45 Rockefeller Plaza to witness one of Midtown Manhattan's eye-catching attractions: the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.
Of course, the holiday festivities looked a little different this year. New York City has been through the ringer in 2020, with public schools once again closed, bars struggling to stay afloat in colder temperatures, and public transit at risk of severe budget cuts. Still, one may think that upcoming Christmas festivities would help diffuse the gloom of a ruthless second wave.
Turns out we can't even have a good Rockefeller Christmas Tree this year. As the 75-foot, 11-ton evergreen was hoisted up in the plaza, onlookers only had one word to describe the scene: underwhelming.
<div id="7496b" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="187060bbd4bbbbd2e371677f4e04c625"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1328794724199665664" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">Charlie Brown: I have the saddest Christmas Tree.

This Haunts Me: "Jen from Appleton" and the Epic Bath and Body Works Rant
Sometimes you've just got to get yourself that Winter Candy Apple and Iced Gingerbread.
12.04.2020
I hope Jen from Appleton, Wisconsin is doing well these days.
As for Angela, the star of the best Bath & Body Works rant of all time (and there are surprisingly many on YouTube), I hope she's living a Winter Candy Apple-scented life to the fullest.
In 2012, the aspiring vlogger posted a rant about her dire mission to acquire two coveted candles from Bath & Body Works: Winter Candy Apple and Iced Gingerbread. The outstanding 11-minute video recounts her harrowing journey to the store in APPLETON, WISCONSIN (it's very important the store is called out for their heinous treatment of Angela).
After the video was discovered and spread across Tumblr, it was recognized as a cultural masterpiece of our time, a treatise on the frailty of the human condition and our undying perseverance to end our own suffering at any cost.

<!-- End Ezoic - under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph --><p></p><p>A synopsis: Angela stalked the store for <em>her special holiday 3-wick candles.</em> The store called and said they had <em>her candles.</em> Angela went to the store to wait for <em>her candles.</em> Manager "Jen" (full air quotes in the video) apologized that they didn't have the full size of <em>her candles. </em></p><p><em></em>Angela became "an ANGRY blonde!!!" as she calls herself in her vlog. To which end: <em>"Oh Jen, Your ass is gonna get reamed," </em>she growls into her surreally out-of-focus "vlogging" lens.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>
<!-- End Ezoic - undersecond12 - under_second_paragraph --></p><p>The highlights of the clip are, of course, Angela's complete lack of self-awareness and how thoroughly in-character she is when she says to "Jen": "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I think I deserve something." Is Angela playing an Arthur Miller-esque character of an aggrieved midwesterner who's lost the ability to feel emotions save for material objects? Is this character so jaded by modern existence and the torturous mind games humans play with each other in our daily social interactions (i.e. small talk, cordiality in check-out lines, harassment-free phone calls) that she's funneled all of her existential rage at "Jen from Appleton?" </p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-633"> </div>
<!-- End Ezoic - incontent1 - mid_content --></p><p>Is that why she keeps referencing that Packers game? "I think the packers won? I don't know; I've been dealing with F*CKING B*TCHES ALL DAY," she emotes into the camera, begging for help with her round, dead eyes. </p><p>What is it about the Winter Candy Apple scent that Angela so sickly covets? </p><p>Health professionals concede that <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/aromatherapy/faq-20058566" target="_blank">aromatherapeutic scents can improve one's mood</a>, with essential oils releasing chemicals that can trigger your smell receptors in such a way that your brain receives positive messages. Aromatherapy, though under-studied, has been shown to be beneficial to people suffering from depression and anxiety. Is that why Angela seeks these candles like it's her mythic heroic journey? Is she not seeking Iced Gingerbread at all, but her soul?</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-634"> </div>

I don't need any more COUPONS. Can you give me something else?" <br></p><p>Of course, for what can a discount do to mend the pieces of our hearts and minds broken by capitalism when all we want is that moment of sweet relief found only in the burning ember of a flame? </p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-635"> </div>
<!-- End Ezoic - incontent2 - long_content --></p><p>Why must love be transactional? Who puts a price on serenity?</p><p>And then the confrontation reaches its climax, like Sisyphus rolling his boulder to the top of the hill, when "Jen from Appleton" suggests Angela call a 1-800 number to complain to "a live person." "A LIVE PERSON?!" Angela screams in anguish. "WHO THE F*CK DO YOU THINK I'M TALKING TO NOW? AM I TALKING TO YOU, WHO IS NOT REALLY HERE? ARE YOU NOT REALITY? BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU WERE A LIVE PERSON. ARE YOU NOT A LIVE PERSON?!" </p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-636"> </div>
<!-- End Ezoic - incontent22 - long_content --></p><p>Are any of us <em>live people? </em>How are we to know if we're truly living rather than simply performing our roles in these mind games that make up the social experiment called LIFE?! WAS JEN REAL? WAS ANGELA? AM I? W<em>hat the ever loving f*ck is a winter candy apple?! </em></p><p>Now that it's nearing that time of year for the Bath & Body Works sale, I can't help but think of both Angela and Jen from Appleton and the lessons they've taught me. I take up more space in the world for having followed their journey, and when 2020 releases its cruel grip on our sense of security and candle shopping plans, I plan to look each cashier in the eye a little longer, knowing we share knowledge of suffering between us. </p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-637"> </div>

Lady Gaga x Oreo and Other Odd Celebrity Food Collaborations
It's an unprecedented time for brand deals and nonsensical collaborations
12.04.2020
I'm convinced that the Supreme Oreos that terrorized the internet (and which I haven't stopped thinking about since) were the cultural reset.
Released in February 2020, right as everything started to go wrong, these bright red Supreme Oreos were met with equally visceral confusion and anticipation. Despite many on the internet claiming that Supreme and Oreo had gone too far, the 3-pack of Oreos inevitably sold out in minutes online.
But the chaos didn't end here. Bidding sites were on fire, with one auction reaching almost $92,000 before being taken down. And apparently, they just tasted like regular Oreos.
It seems Oreo have not learned their lesson. Just announced: their collaboration with Lady Gaga
<p>The limited edition <em>Chromatica</em> cookies are inspired by <a href="https://www.popdust.com/lady-gaga-chromatica-2646125490.html" target="_self">Gaga's recent dance pop album</a> and aim to "spread musical messages of kindness throughout the country," according to the Oreo website. To promote the launch, Gaga and Oreo also announced a "<a href="https://www.singitwithoreo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sing it with Oreo</a>" campaign in which fans can send their loved ones "Oreograms" — personalized messages that get turned into songs. No doubt these were inspired by the TikTok craze that has brands clamoring to create short form, music-based content on or off the platform</p><p>The <em>Chromatica</em> Oreos themselves are bright pink with green filling, though apparently they're just vanilla flavored.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

Instead of promoting the company on her Instagram or TikTok, she collaborated with Dunkin to create the "The Charli" — an eponymous order of her signature drink.</p><p>Like the Travis Burger, it's not the product itself that matters, it's the clout. "The Charli" isn't a complex order, it's just a Dunkin' Cold Brew with whole milk and three pumps of caramel swirl. However, the power of seeing the TikTok dancer recreate viral dances, then sip some Dunkin in her downtime cannot be underestimated.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-636"> </div>
<!-- End Ezoic - incontent22 - long_content --></p><p>The marketing roll out for this collab took advantage of the star's social media fame by promising fans a chance to not just hang out with Charli, but to create content with her. Essentially, the chance to go viral which … is hard to pass up.</p><p>However, there was some controversy at the fact that a coffee drink was being so explicitly marketed to young teens. While excess caffeine isn't great for anyone, it especially isn;t good for younger consumers. With the cold brew, which offers more concentrated caffeine than most coffees, diluted by the generous caramel swirl, "The Charli" might just be a set up for a both a sugar and caffeine crash.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-637"> </div>

Jay-Z's 7 Best Albums
On his 51st birthday, we take a look at Jay-Z's best albums.
12.04.2020
Shawn Carter, AKA Jay-Z, was born December 4, 1969.
He was raised in Marcy Houses, a housing project in Brooklyn, NY. He discovered a passion for music at a young age but became heavily involved in the streets as a crack cocaine dealer.
Jay's involvement with the drug trade would end after a near-fatal brush with death. This encounter motivated him to go legit and pursue music.
<h2></h2><p>Today, Jay-Z is considered by many as the greatest rapper of all time. His various accomplishments in music and business have made him a benchmark for success in Hip-Hop. After nearly 30 years and over 20 albums credited to his name, Jay-Z's discography is one of the most celebrated in music, but here are his best albums:</p><p><!-- Ezoic - under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph -->

The original plan was for him to release an album and act as an executive of <a href="https://www.discogs.com/label/9433-Roc-A-Fella-Records" target="_blank">Rocafella Records</a> alongside friends and business partners <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0201965/" target="_blank">Damon "Dame" Dash</a> and<a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1974675/" target="_blank"> Kareem "Biggs" Burke</a>.</p> <p>Released in June of 1996, <em>Reasonable Doubt</em> is a 15 track dissection of street life through the eyes of a man with vivid insight. To this day, it is one of the genre's most critically acclaimed debuts, with features from <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004763/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mary J.

Jay managed to maintain his insightful wordplay when rapping about growing up in Marcy Projects. However, he combined his narratives from his hustling days with Top 40s production, making his songs more radio-friendly.</p> <p>As a result, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3j1xCJdBMCl6wYQXurz2tb?autoplay=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Vol. 2...

Jay-Z addresses Black people's need to secure financial freedom, his battle to uphold fidelity, and his overall legacy in Hip-Hop.</p> <p>Up until this point, Jay was very guarded when it came to certain aspects of his personal life.

Everything You Need for "Euphoria" -Inspired Makeup Looks
Life is short, go for a bold eye like Jules.
12.04.2020
Regardless of how you felt about the hit HBO teen drama Euphoria, you have to admit the looks in the show are pretty iconic.
From Rue's grungy over-sized aesthetic to Jules' femme futuristic looks, there are plenty of outfits shown throughout the series to inspire you to reinvent your whole wardrobe. Not to mention the makeup looks, which are so unique and striking as to have inspired hundreds of Halloween costumes last year. But why reserve a neon eye shadow or sequin eyelid look for Halloween when you can channel your inner Maddie or Jules all year long?
Euphoria Season 2 may be a few months away, but HBO is releasing two special episodes much sooner. The first of these specials, "Trouble Don't Last Always," focuses on Rue (played by Zendaya) and just dropped on HBO Max. To celebrate, we've listed some of the most essential cosmetic products to help you make your Euphoria-inspired makeup dreams come true—no drugs required.

To get this look, apply "Limelight" to the outer corner of your eyelid, blending it into "Sassy" as you get closer to the inner corner of your eye. Then just add mascara, and you're ready to go!</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

</p><p>Jules often rocks makeup looks that feature a white eyeliner, but our favorite is this minimalist cloud design from Episode 3. Jules is otherwise barefaced, with simple swirling designs accenting each eye.

It's pretty watery, so you'll need to be careful not to let it run while applying, but with a little practice, it really is your best bet for this kind of dreamy look!</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-634"> </div>

</p><h2></h2><p>As Kat's confidence grows, she starts donning bolder makeup, including this matte lip and blue eye shadow look from Episode 5. If you're going to go for a bold lip, it's important to invest in some decent lipstick, so it doesn't flake or smear.
