I’m afraid I know woefully little about WNBA players (or, you know, basketball in general), but I’m quickly getting a lady-crush on at least one: Brittney Griner, a 22-year-old who plays for the Phoenix Mercury. Not only is Griner the first openly-gay athlete to get a Nike endorsement, but she also got them to allow her to model clothes branded as menswear. More
Jennifer Lawrence has occasionally referenced her days as a teen model in interviews, usually in a self-deprecating fashion. ”I did stuff for Abercrombie & Fitch, but you’d never know because none of my pictures ever got released,” she recently told Conan O’Brien. “I realized that they were model footballing and I was really playing football.” Now, some of her early modeling photos have resurfaced (not those ones, unfortunately) and it turns out that, duh, Jennifer Lawrence took some perfectly lovely pictures when not being asked to fake playing a sport.

The idea of people under 30 or so retiring always makes me chuckle a little bit, partially out of disbelief and also because it’s a little depressing to imagine somebody so young growing tired of his or her career and actually retires. It’s a luxury few can afford, but fortunately for Gemma Ward, she was able to take a sabbatical for, oh, 3 years. More
Pro tip: Patronizingly talking about a woman using the phrase “she’s beautiful…on the inside” is about as much of a backhanded compliment as the ol’ “she’s got such a pretty…face.” More
Well, it’s a sorry day for all of us, because model Agnyess Deyn is officially giving up the world of posing for pictures. More
Basically, it sounds as though men are going to pull their penises out in front of you when you’re 16.

Most people’s dreams are dumb. Or, at least, most people’s dreams are provisional. Based on fleeting whims and momentary circumstances. After all, where do “dreams” come from, anyway? More
Whoa there, Brooklyn Decker! You’re liable to get charged with first degree arson with the number of bridges you’re burning. More
The very talented and reclusive Lauryn Hill may not be in the public eye much these days, but her second oldest child is looking to get into the limelight as a model. Twelve-year-old Selah Marley recently took some test shots hoping to get picked up by a modeling agency and has already appeared in Teen Vogue — as a tween! More

Have you ever looked at editorial images of models, say, lying lifelessly in a flower bed, and wondered what would happen if a woman tried that in real life? Would it look silly? Awkward? Disturbing? (I’m going to go with disturbing.) And what about all the other strange poses they make models do? More

This is a video of Tyra Banks on Good Morning America that you will likely find incoherent and unnerving. Tyra Banks wears a sparkly golden wing over her eye the entire time. It’s called a Smize and it increases your chances of becoming an Intoxibella by 91%*. No, really, this all makes sense. More
Some people are successful just because they’re lucky. Some people are successful due to such a confluence of luck and aptitude that it’s impossible to sort out: Ivanka Trump sounds like a pretty cool lady, but it’s impossible for anyone to know if she would’ve done well if not born a Trump.
While I certainly feel privileged to have been born in a nation with good public schools, impeccable sanitation, and lack of Sharia law, I do like to point out that most of what I talk about in Bullish was learned by me in extremely painful ways: I have declared bankruptcy, I have lived in an East Harlem drug den, I have been an awkward sixteen-year-old who had never shaken hands before.
It’s “I Regret Everything” week here at TheGloss! So, here are some ginormous mistakes I’ve made that you don’t have to!
