Extreme weight-reduction plan is the most recent way for the mega-rich to signal their wealth and standing “I don’t want all this shit,” shrieks Logan Roy, characteristically hot-tempered, within the opening episode of Succession’s second season. The “shit” in query is platter after platter of shucked oysters, fat orange prawns, and lobsters smothered in garlic butter served up on beds of ice. “Pizza! We’ll have pizza,” Logan commands. And so his staff carry away the dishes teeming with crustaceans and unceremoniously dump them into the bins outside. The emergency pizzas are duly ordered and laid out on the dining table because the Roy family get right down to business, but these too remain...

In 2019, are people still shaving their bodies?

We examine the consequences of the gender revolution on the shaving industry Hair removal has an extended and wealthy cultural history.

The Fat Zine shines a light-weight on love and

“I met God they usually’re fat too,” reads the back cover of the second issue of The Fat Zine, Gina Tonic and Chloe Sheppard’s radical, fat-positive publication. Launched last 12 months, The Fat Zine celebrates the lives, bodies, and experiences of fat people, putting them front and centre in a way that continues to be remiss in mainstream media. Following the inaugural issue last September, issue two has now dropped – this time, with an exploration of all of the nuances and facets of affection. A really deliberate alternative, the theme of affection is an antidote to the ‘self-isolation’ motif that ran through the primary issue and explored not only the loneliness we’ve all experienced over lockdown but in addition, Tonic...
