Unedited
Undies,
Uncensored
As someone who routinely cuts the bows off her lingerie— seriously, why are there always bows?— I was stoked to discover Negative, a brand for girls who don’ t do girly. And starting this month, you can buy a set of undies with your own embroidered phrases($ 85 –$ 100 for two, negativeunderwear. com). Think of the possibilities: Bachelorette party gift? Try“ Ride It / My Pony.” Best friend’ s b-day?“ Shine On / You Crazy Diamond.” Breakup?“ New Phone / Who Dis?” They’ re like cheeky inside jokes … with myself.— Alanna Greco, editorial assistant

Taking Notes From
Diana Gordon
“ Before the Beyoncé thing, I hadn’ t had something good happen to me in a while,” says singer-songwriter Diana Gordon. The“ Beyoncé thing” she’ s referring to: three writing credits on the icon’ s Lemonade, including one for“ Sorry,” which launched a nationwide witch hunt for“ Becky with the good hair.” Now Gordon, who previously performed under the name Wynter Gordon, is putting the final touches on a“ rebirth” album, due out this spring. And if recent tracks are any indication—“ One hand on the pussy and the other on a Harley,” she spits on“ Woman”— she’ ll be totally capturing the zeitgeist. But where does she even get her material?“ It comes up from the youth. It’ s like, what’ s their language?” she says.“ A lot of the best writers say things people say already. It’ s just not proper English.” TFW someone finally gets me.— Justine Harman, senior editor
The All-Grown-Up
Anklet
The second I spotted a pair of mismatched Mary Janes on Instagram, I emailed my most fashionable friend, Danielle:“ What are these shoes with ankle cuffs?” She wrote back immediately:“ They’ re not with the shoes exactly. These girls run their own brand, Attico. So they’ re, like, ankle bracelets.” The“ girls” are Italian street-style stars Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio, and starting in January, their silk-and-satin creations will be my very own ankle chokers($ 205 –$ 330 per pair, my theresa. com). Worst-case scenario: People think I’ m under house arrest. Well, then, how’ d I get into this sexy club, hmm?— J. H.
