to move up and down
Rock icons R.E.M. split after 31 years
Seminal rock band R.E.M. has decided to “call it a day,” according to a post on the band’s official website.
“To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band,” the group said in the statement. “We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening.”
The rich history and modern rediscovery of the fascinator
It isn’t polite to stare, but get ready for a wave of impoliteness — because with the Royal nuptials just around the corner and the rise of the fascinator in formal wear, it’s impossible to look away.
Modern-day fascinators, embellished hair ornaments adorned to one’s head with either a comb, clip or band have become the go-to celebratory headpiece, with society pages brimming with trendsetters showcasing their attachment to the daring hat alternative. Less fussy than a full-coverage hat, perfect for keeping blowouts voluminous, light and airy for warm summer nights and the ability to transform a simple cocktail dress into a formal stunner — the fascinator is turning heads.
