Time to Elevate Your Christmas Jumper Game with SKIMS' Nipple Bra

by Molly Gymer

No, SKIMS' latest campaign didn't jump the gun on April Fools' Day.


Once again, the Kardashian clan is stirring up the online world, and this time, it's all about Kim Kardashian. She recently unveiled the latest addition to the SKIMS product lineup - which immediately went viral. 



In an Instagram video, Kim made a bold statement by introducing the Ultimate Nipple Bra. This updated version of the SKIMS push-up bra features, you guessed it, its very own pair of pointy nipples!


This move officially signals the comeback of the '90s, as these prosthetic nipples hark back to iconic moments of that era, most notably Jennifer Aniston's portrayal of Rachel Green in the beloved '90s sitcom, F.R.I.E.N.D.S.


The campaign video, a gimmicky sketch written by comedian Michelle Wolf, caused quite a commotion. 


Many accused Kim of capitalising on the current climate crisis to promote her fast fashion brand. The video features the millionaire Kardashian modeling the nipple-enhanced bra with glasses and leggings while making a statement about global warming.


She opens the video by stating, “The Earth’s temperature is getting hotter and hotter. The sea levels are rising. The ice sheets are shrinking. And I’m not a scientist but I do believe everyone can use their skill set to do their part. That’s why I’m introducing a brand new bra with a built in nipples, so no matter how hot it is, you’ll always look cold”. 


The bra itself didn't escape controversy either. Some disapproved of the "unnecessary" and "embarrassing" concept, with one comment even saying, "Most times that’s literally the only reason I put one."


Critics questioned Kim's sanity, but amid the outrage some women expressed gratitude. 


Those who had battled breast cancer and undergone mastectomies found this innovative idea a godsend, with one person sharing, "Of all the things Kim has created, this is by far the best ever."


The campaign's caption revealed that 10% of the profits from this release will be donated to 1% For The Planet, supporting their environmental initiatives.


A donation to a worthy organization and an inventive idea - what's not to like? Do you need one? Well, probably not. But for some, this bra might be the missing piece in their wardrobe. 


Or, another fun trend to bring the sexy back to your Christmas jumpers.

Eurydice’s Last Words

by Kate Bradley I do not want to return To sit in the stalls, Of an empty black box Strewn with petals Leave the ghost light on, Let it shine like a call home, But I will not come back To turn it off alone. I learn this as we walk Our ever so solemn path Our thudding funeral march, You think we’re going back. As I trace my old steps, I fear of the day When the symphony swells, And I land my gaze On you, yet you will be Enraptured by the sound, If you did twist To turn around, You would not see me. So I am not sorry, I speak out into the empty air And I am not sorry. “Turn Around.” You do, you look You think  I fall But I run on, Arms wide open To fall in love With it all “Perhaps she was the one who said, ‘Turn around.” On the X45 bus, back from the Tyneside Cinema, I wrote a poem entitled “Eurydice’s Final Words”, after having seen “Portrait of a Lady on Fire”.  That poem was terrible, so I wrote a new one, as my response to the beautifully poignant film.  In one scene, Héloïse, an 18

Single Review: ‘Tell Me’ - Jay Moussa-Mann

by Ilana Hawdon The feeling of pure betrayal and heartbreak is perfectly captured in Jay Moussa-Mann’s latest single, ‘Tell Me’. Jay Moussa-Mann is the folk dream we have been waiting for. A favourite on BBC Introducing, Radio 6 and BBC Radio Tees, Jay ’s sound is easy on the ears but delightfully addictive. With a background in writing and film, she began her solo musical venture when she released her debut album, ‘Little Deaths’ in late-2019, and since then, Moussa-Mann has defined herself as an artist with unbelievable range and promise.    ‘Tell Me’ is completely timeless; with notes of Carole King and Joni Mitchell, Moussa-Mann creates a folk-inspired track which is simultaneously heart wrenching and strangely empowering. Beginning as a simple guitar tune, ‘Tell Me’ builds with layers of luscious strings and twinkling piano, tied together with Jay ’s vocal line which is equal parts melancholic and divine. The song feels unwaveringly intimate; the lyrics ask, ‘what was I worth?’
