Surprise! Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna continue to stay in the celeb spotlight. I also adapt a series of People Stylewatch posts on Britney Spears's tour costumes into an item.
I forgot to post this before, but I was able to get Melbourne indie rock artist Courtney Barnett into WHO prior to her going to the Grammys. She was nominated as Best New Artist. It was great to include new talent in the issue and her answers helped illuminate her bio to a mass audience.
During a difficult week for WHO, the staff worked hard to produce this issue, including our Grammys story, completed in half a day. So glad to be their colleague.
I was proud to work with the WHO team to put together this tribute to David Bowie. 48 hours was not a lot of time to process how influential Bowie was to music, film, fashion and the arts, and how much he meant to me personally, but I found research and writing to be a tremendous salve.
Tricky to write about a singularly titled event that happens to be held in different locations over a different number of days, each event being hyped by a different radio station or ownership group and with different sponsors. Then again, it's all about the photos.
Always fun to write about events that do not originate in the US. The BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend story appeared in the June 9, 2014 issue of WHO. Oh, and I wrote up the Sofia Vergara split, too, so it's a spread of joy!
