Coachella 2018, Day 1: A “Short” Wait for Beyoncé
Good news! As you could tell from yesterday’s post, I survived my third Coachella … and, once again, I did it without using alcohol, drugs, or face paint.

The Waiting Is the Hardest Part of Coachella
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people currently nearing the end of their long wait at the front-stage barricades during Coachella’s second weekend. Last Sunday, I spent over 12 hours doing that — with no choice but to stand for about 10 of those hours — so I could be front row for…

Coachella 2016: My Music Highlights
From the media coverage, you might think that everyone who goes to the Coachella music festival in Indio, Calif., cares more about fashion than music. (Vanessa Friedman of the New York Times — praising the way clothes serve the message in Beyonce’s new visual album Lemonade — writes, “It is the anti-Coachella: the opposite of…

The choker necklace has gotten so hot so fast this spring — especially at Coachella — that Vogue is ready to declare the style so over in favor of ankle bracelets, aka anklets. Forget the choker necklace, this is the accessory you need this summer: https://t.co/FEVuX8Liqf — Vogue Magazine (@voguemagazine) April 20, 2016 When I…
