What's hot right now:

I've never been one for trends. I'm infinitely more drawn to things that are interesting than things that are "hot." I've been wearing the same motorcycle boots since I was in high school. They're cool boots—always were, always will be. Perhaps this is a better way to explain: I'm far more interested in what's cool than what's hot. Juicy Couture terry sweat outfits were "hot." Christian Louboutin's studded ankle boots, on the other hand, are cool, as is Vivienne Westwood, Agent Provocateur and Egon Schiele. Political T-shirts are cool. Cool doesn't go out of style. Neither does black nail polish, incidentally, especially when it's by Chanel.

Also, photo credits are hot!

Please give credit to the photographer of this shoot, Veronica Chojnacki of nulinegraphics.com. This photo was taken expressly for the cover of http://www.femalepersuasion.net. For such a major and widely viewed corporation as the JC Report to use this image not only as a feature, a blow-up shot, and additionally in their html mailer and not give a single credit is a shame. Sincerely, Anne Kelly Founder, femalepersuasion.net

They are, indeed.

Anne, our apologies for the oversight, which was certainly not intentional. The photo is properly credited in the slideshow pop-up now where all credits appear on our site.

thank you

Thanks for the correction, much appreciated! As you know, it's often hard for emerging artists to make a name for themselves, so exposure is appreciated! A.

To the simmer down commenter - You're faulting the woman for giving credit where credit is due? And then you trollingly post anonymously? I applaud Anne Kelly for looking out for emerging artists.

Above comments, and website

Ha! You guys should be more concerned with how you are going to pay for your FOOD as the whole of the US is crashing down around you - Perhaps one of the reasons is precisely that! Americanos are too preoccupied with trends, and what is cool, and who is the owner of what. Planting vegetables is cool- taking a nice photo is cool to, but who cares who owns it or the website...you won't be able to eat them.

The Beautiful People Of Florianopolis
Since living back in New York, I’ve spent the last two Christmas and New Years in the City. It was never an option to stay home during this period when I lived in Paris. And I like it better that way. Getaways seemed to just happen and it was a given that at the end of the year, you’d find yourself somewhere, usually warm for me, far away from home.
