August 10, 2021 at 09:49PM On August 9, Virginia Roberts Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew, accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was just 17 years old, as reported by the New York Times. Giuffre, now 38, is a longtime accuser of Jeffrey Epstein, the accused sex offender who maintained a friendship with Prince Andrew for 20 years. Epstein died by suicide in jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges two years ago, and many high-profile members of his inner circle, including Prince Andrew, have since been suspected of taking part in the sexual abuse of minors. The Manhattan-filed court documents allege that Queen Elizabeth II’s second-born son abused Giuffre on three occasions about 20 years ago.

Cruise Through the Rest of Summer in These Billowy Patterned Shirts

August 09, 2021 at 09:17PM Fashion trends come and go, but there are some items that never seem to go out of style. Enter: patterned shirts. They have been around for decades and don’t seem like they’ll be going anywhere anytime soon. But we’re not talking about the tailored, long-sleeve dress shirts you might see in an office setting.

Knix Launches Ashley Graham-Approved Activewear

August 06, 2021 at 07:42PM It’s fair to say we could all use a bit of a confidence boost. As it turns out, 18 months of binge-drinking, -eating, -watching, and -sitting doesn’t do wonders for your self-esteem. Add being locked inside for much of that time with only your thoughts and a looming pandemic, and many of us are coping with mental and emotional scars. As we slowly make our re-entry into (hopefully) post-pandemic life, a new form of power dressing has emerged: activewear. Gone are the days of relying on shoulder pads and pinstripes to channel your inner boss lady — comfort-driven dressing has become a work-from-home staple (thanks, Zoom calls!) and an unexpected source of empowerment. The most recent addition to the activewear category is Knix Active, an assortment of workout-ready gear from Knix that includes their iconic leakproof technology (hello,…

Are Women’s Sports Achievements Still Not As Highly Valued As Men’s?

August 05, 2021 at 08:44PM On July 31, Canadian history was made at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. During the women’s 4×100-metre medley relay, Canadian swimmers Kylie Masse, Sydney Pickrem, Maggie Mac Neil and Penny Oleksiak finished with a time of 3:52.60 — breaking a national record, winning a bronze medal for Canada, and officially securing Oleksiak’s place as the most decorated Olympic athlete in Canadian history. ✹ PENNY OLEKSIAK MAKES HISTORY (again) ✹ After winning đŸ„‰ in the 4x100m medley relay, Penny Oleksiak is now #TeamCanada’s most decorated Olympian of all time đŸ€©đŸ€ŻđŸŽ‰ đŸŠâ€â™€ïž into the details âžĄïž https://t.co/6UvSEBMVb4 pic.twitter.com/CNUTLu8K9V — Team Canada (@TeamCanada) August 1, 2021 At just 21 years old, Oleksiak now holds a total of seven Olympic medals.
