It’s easy to cast aside a teen magazine and think it’s nothing more than glossy 8x10 photos of teen idols, and random articles about said teen idols. Well, yeah, that’s definitely all of those are on the surface level, but almost everything in life also comes with lessons that people don’t necessarily know they’re learning... Continue Reading →
Anne Raso is a freelance writer and editor who has been working in the publishing industry since the ‘80s, and since then she’s written about everything from New Kids on the Block to fine dining in New York City, and she came through to talk about all of that and then some like the years...

It’s been a minute since ‘Tiger Beat’ was the topic of discussion, four years since Jaida Aneese came through to talk about her Teeny Bopper Crush on none other than a Gen Z favorite, Justin Bieber.

Awards Season is officially over, and with that came and went the Oscars. Hollywood’s biggest night didn’t disappoint, but rather shocked with a pretty solid sweep for one movie, a hilarious and a questionable waste of time, as well as some fashion that stunned and one that was a total fail. Oh, and let’s talk... Continue Reading →
After realizing that none of the movies I loved this year would get any love, I knew my heart wasn’t all the way in when we finally arrived at the Oscars 2025. Inside Out 2 and The Wild Robot would both (and did) lose to a movie about a cat, and Wicked’s praise was likely... Continue Reading →
The 2025 Grammys have come and gone, but this was the first year in a very long time that it felt like it was…good.
