Maybe Kanye West needs to take some time off. Maybe take a break from social media, produce some more albums, brainstorm yet another Yeezy. He’s just not doing himself any favors lately.

Or maybe he is. He definitely seems to believe “any publicity is good publicity,” and he’s pretty creative in creating it. West’s most recent publicity prop: name-dropping Elon Musk during a random visit to an art school. Sympathetically, that is. See the video above.

It’s hard to understand West at first, then he gets to the heart of his ramble: “Elon Musk. I don’t give a fuck who’s over his house. Leave that man the fuck alone.” Then, with emphasis: “Leave that man the fuck alone.”

This follows West’s controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live, when he closed the show with an unexpected pro-President Trump rant that had the studio audience and cast squirming in discomfort. It also follows Elon Musk’s removal as chairman of Tesla Inc. and $20 million penalties against him and his company for Musk’s “false and misleading” tweets about company stocks.

Musk has been the butt of jokes and criticism for his weed-infused screwups, but now we know one thing for sure: he’s got a friend in Ye. 

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Nintendo is planning to release an updated version of the super popular Nintendo Switch at some point in 2019. The rumor is based on speculation about Nintendo’s market strategy and the presumption that an updated version of the Switch hardware—to give it a larger screen, better battery, more connectivity or some other unforeseen boost—will sustain its popularity and momentum.

WSJ’s prediction appears to be based on Nintendo’s previous approach to their popular line of Nintendo DS products and their offshoots. Having gotten away with roughly the same hardware in the DS product line for over a decade, the Japanese gaming giant has made incremental upgrades and backward compatibility its bread and butter in the handheld world.

The Nintendo Switch is a different animal, fulfilling the portable needs of many gamers but also docking to your living room TV for a pure console experience. The possibility of a thinner, brighter, more power-efficient screen in the Switch may entice people to upgrade but for many—as long as the best Nintendo exclusive games aren’t tied to the new hardware—their old Switch will still get the job done.

It’s not out of line to suggest Nintendo’s potential upgrade to a so-called Switch 2.0 will be to counteract a security flaw that has allowed hackers to play pirated games on their own Switch. Nintendo is in a constant cat and mouse battle with hackers, going back years and several consoles, and the company has made major efforts to squash piracy of their games. It’s not a stretch to think that an upgrade will address that irksome security flaw and disguise it as an updated product.

Is a Switch 2.0 really what gamers want? There are already roughly 20 million units out in the world and that’s a nice-sized fan base always ready to play the latest and greatest games. With two undeniable blockbusters already under their belt—Zelda; Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey—and another coming in December in the form of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, many would prefer Nintendo focus more on delivering more of their excellent first-party games and new innovations rather than updated hardware. It’s not a secret that people are much hungrier for a Super Mario Odyssey 2 than they are for a new Switch 1.5.

As we make our way through October, we get closer and closer to Halloween, a.k.a. the one night on the Gregorian calendar where people are free — nay, encouraged — to wear sexed up costumes of inanimate objects, government officials, religious figures, etc. and feel amazing doing it.

In the glorious photo gallery above, check out top 20 best-selling “sexy” costumes from the unofficial sexy costume authority, Yandy. You’re welcome, people.

Additionally, let’s also take a look at some of the more, uh, controversial and just downright WTF-worthy “sexy” costumes out there, because why wouldn’t we?

“Shining Bright Pope”

As Rihanna once said in a song: Shine bright like a…
Pope?

Yeah, that sounds right. If you’re interested in this sexy Pope costume for whatever reason, you can find it right here.

“Brave Red Maiden” inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale

After receiving huge backlash for obvious reasons, the costume was pulled from the site. 

“Sexy Pocahontas”

A sexy Pocahontas….Pocahottie? Also very controversial. I’m honestly concerned there might be a “Sexy Squanto” costume too, but I’m not even going to look that up.

“Despicable Human”

I will never not laugh at the name Despicable Human. But Minions are annoying as hell, so it’s actually fitting.

“Canary Cutie Bird”

This just looks like someone ran over Tweety with a steamroller. Poor little guy.

And lastly, behold the latest Halloween trend we can totally get behind: Behold, Glitter Pumpkin Butts.

Bootyful! 

Happy Halloween, my friends. 

For those among us with classic style, it can be a little discouraging when all the latest trends and It items seem to cater toward a more maximalist aesthetic (we’re looking at you, neon and tinsel). So that’s why we decided to source the best fall pieces the internet has to offer. We found sweaters, shoes, jeans, accessories, and so much more, and a variety of brands and price points are represented.

No matter what your budget and wardrobe needs, among these 47 stylish classic pieces, we’d be shocked if you don’t find what you’re looking for. Even if you don’t have classic style per se, we all need pieces to wear with those trendier, more “extra” ones. And don’t worry, while these basics are certainly subdued, they’re far too chic to be considered boring. Keep scrolling to shop all 47 of the best classic pieces for fall.

Ah, the ’90s. The excess of the ’80s was still alive and well, albeit a slightly grungier version. There were also plenty of ’90s trends that went in the polar opposite direction and embraced minimalism to a T. As is to be expected, these overarching themes didn’t stop at just clothing and accessories. Lingerie styles also followed the trends of the decade—and since wearing pieces that showed off your lingerie started to become a thing in the ’80s, it only gained steam in the ’90s, making what undergarments you chose to wear more important than ever.

Just like every other ’90s trend there was, lingerie trends from the decade have also made a comeback, many of which were and are controversial for one reason or another (but more on that below). With that, read on to find out which five lingerie trends of the ’90s are officially back, whether you like it or not.

When we think of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha, their engagement rings aren’t exactly the first things we think about. But in reality, their betrothal jewelry played rather significant roles in the overall stories on the show—who can forget Carrie wearing Aidan’s engagement ring around her neck instead of on her ring finger?!

We thought we’d honor the perpetually single ladies of Manhattan’s un-singledom by taking a look back at their rocks and hunting down modern versions of them. Keep scrolling to see the engagement rings of Sex and the City, and shop pieces inspired by them!

A fall staple.

When you invest in a designer handbag, you want it to be exactly that: an investment. However, with so many new It bags constantly emerging, it can be hard to decide which one you should spend your money on. To help you make that tough decision, there are some obvious rules. For example, you should always consider opting for a bag in one color so that it seamlessly blends into your wardrobe without any fuss. You also want to make sure it’s easy to carry (sounds obvious, but we’ve witnessed otherwise), so you’ll not trade it in for something else in your closet. Finally, it must fit your essentials, as otherwise, you’ll always end up swapping it for something more sizeable.

There are plenty of styles that fit the bill, but over the past few years or so, one has emerged as more popular than the others: the Gucci Soho Disco bag. Launched in 2014, the piece has been carried by many an A-lister, including Emma Roberts, Selena Gomez, and Amber Heard, which is always a guarantee of an iconic bag in the making. We also spoke to the team over at Lyst, the global fashion search platform, about the product, who revealed that the Gucci Soho Disco bag receives, on average, over 3000 searches a month, making it the most popular bag over the past six months.

Not only does the piece currently come in those aforementioned classic colors—black, red, beige, and white—but it easily fits your everyday items (personally, we really stuff everything in there), and it can go across your body, making it super easy to sling on and forget about. Keep scrolling for a look at the bag in action and then shop it.
