Nora’s Super Kawaii Instant Camera

I truly love my heavy duty digital camera, which I’ve lugged around with me for years now, building up my impressive biceps and blinding my friends with the ultra-bright flash in an effort to document every aspect of my fabulous life.

Jason Wu Was Obsessed with Barbies and RuPaul as a Child

Jason Wu is pretty much on top of the world these days. He’s Michelle Obama’s go-to designer (and thus, now, more or less a household name); he dresses tons of other celebrities as well; he has a super cute diffusion line, Miss Wu; he has a cosmetics line in the works; and he was just named the new creative director of Boss womenswear.

Before all that he was obsessed with Barbies (he had 150 of ‘em) and RuPaul. Obviously.
