Quote of the Day

Dear Love, I’ve decided this is going to be your best issue yet. I can’t be wrong. With a cover full of Lara Stone — a very naked, very statuesque Lara with legs longer than life, it must be perfect. (Though this new tradition of airbrushing out nipples is kind of awkward. We know they’re [...]
