Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t think of a better way to spend an evening than by watching a bunch of kickass, quirky women, kill it on stage. Not to mention, this particular show landed on International Women’s Day! So, yeah. The hype was real. Now, don’t let my statement mislead you. It wasn’t all girl bands. (Though that would’ve been sick) It was, however, mostly female singers. Which is good enough for me. Let’s start with ING, an indie band from VA that absolutely fit

How Touche Amore ended up at The Camel is beyond me. A venue built to hold 300 people tops, was now hosting a show for one of the most relevant bands in underground hardcore. Luckily, I was privileged enough to run into Jeremy Bolm. The man behind the mic and writer of the heart throbbing album, Stage Four.

This Fall, I was once again granted the honor of attending RVA Fashion Week, with hopes to get a glimpse of what we can expect to be “in” this fall and winter.

Forgetting the basic rules like: don’t bring a bag in, don’t wear low cut tops, fake glasses will be lost or broken (most likely, while on your face), as will shoes if not double knotted, only idiots wear their hair down, and be aware of the mosh

Everyone has “that friend”. You know, the one who’s constantly busy taking over the world? Posting snaps and pictures that make you want to repost with the hashtag #goals. I now know first hand, that life is anything but simple. Rushing from photoshoot, to networking event, to interview. All while upholding the “image” associated with being an influential woman. It's not just a day job where the work stops when you walk out the door. It is a lifestyle, taking more than just i

The average person spends a large amount of their life wondering, is my dream worth chasing? However, this was not a concern of Maceo and his partner, Travis Payne. Jumping in head first after college with the confidence to know that they'd create the success they desire. Their journey thus far hasn't been black and white. Like other business owners, they've had to learn the art of balancing time management, marketing, and creating. The launch of their website, www.CollectWor
