More, Please! How Emma Specter wrote the last word

Just past the halfway mark of Emma Specter’s debut memoir, More, Please: On Food, Fat, Bingeing, Longing, and the Lust for Enough, she recalls a period when she finally allowed herself to interrupt free from all the foundations around food that she’d set herself. “I never used butter or white bread or Parmesan or any of the carbs or high-fat items I related to the dishes I craved probably the most,” she writes. “Today, each time I cook a very satisfying meal, I send a silent message to my younger self across space and time: In the future you'll cook with butter, and it won’t feel like such an enormous deal.” For over a decade, food plan culture and weight-reduction plan...

Sixties Mod Meets Nineties Glam At Sergio Hudson’s SS25

Photography by Chad Hilliard for ESSENCE. At Sergio Hudson’s Spring/Summer 2025 show, daring beauty and iconic looks were front and center.

Should we be treating body modification as against the

Brendan McCarthy – aka Dr Evil – ran Dr. Evil’s Body Modification Emporium in Wolverhampton from 2012 to 2015, where he carried out extreme body modification. In 2015, Wolverhampton Council argued that McCarthy didn’t have licence to perform procedures “akin to cosmetic surgery.” On the twenty first of March this 12 months, McCarthy was charged with six accounts of wounding, one being the removal of a customer’s ear, and handed a 40-month prison sentence in a ruling that senior Crown prosecutor Rhiannon Jones has called “a landmark case involving body modification.” While the case could also be unique, body modification has been happening world wide for an estimated 10,000 years — although only began to actually take off within the West within...
