Anyone who knows anything about what San Antonio is like at its deepest, darkest core knows that our fair “city on the rise” is also the “biggest small town in Texas.” You can’t throw a stone without hitting someone who goes to the same salon. You can’t surf your Grindr without recognizing someone that comes…
Male B Wear introduces bespoke clothing for men
I have driven past Male B Wear countless times before on my way to HEAT–or Essence if I’m feeling like a dirty girl–and it has always caught my attention. But I never wandered inside because while I would LOVE yellow ass-less undies with the word “twerk” embroidered on the front, I knew that they were…
Bianchi shops Niche Boutique
It was the night of November 13, 2012. The weather was colder than a frozen TV dinner in an igloo on top of a mountain, and the wind was whipping around like Beyonce’s ass at the VMAs. But I had to brave the harsh 60-degree San Antonio conditions to attend the grand opening for Niche…

Bianchi shops the Madewell La Cantera opening
First order of business to discuss regarding the Madewell La Cantera grand-opening party : EVERYTHING WAS SO BEAUTIFUL! Second order of business: You don’t get to see any of the beautiful pictures I took because a very nice lady informed me that “The Man”–aka Madewell’s corporate office–doesn’t dig on surprise press visits. So apologies, but…
Alexander Wang x H&M preview
Hold on to your titties, kitties, because Alexander Wang’s collection for H&M is about to drop and wipe that bored look right off your little faces. The collection–out November 6–is a dark, sporty chic look you could easily transition from Zumba to the Heat. The complete look book was released today and it seems to…
Fashion “Salvation” found in feminine muscle
As soon as I walked backstage for a sneak peek of Leighton Whittington’s debut fashion line, “Salvation” for Leighton W. Couture, I knew he would quickly become a designer to watch. The all-black color palette oozed an expensive “tough babe” vibe, while the juxtaposing flowing fabrics lent themselves to hyper-feminine movement. A strong religious overtone…
