From the price and manufacture of the cute dress that you picked up on sale last week, through to the very forces that keep our planet spinning – some incredibly smart person has sat down and created theories to explain it all.

Aphra Benn was a 17th century spy. She was also a playwright - reportedly the first female playwright to make a living from her work. She sounds kind of cool, huh?One of her code names was Agent 160.Throughout history, the play has been the man thing. Think back to high school English and Drama classes: William Shakespeare, Arthur Miller, Oscar Wilde and Christopher Marlowe tend to dominate. Aphra Benn flew in...

In the lead up to Valentine's Day, there is much tat on sale. Random crap emblazoned with hearts and a whole host of supposedly sexy gifts are promoted heavily at the start of February. But what if you'd rather spend a bit more to get something really special? What do you get the lover who has everything?

Try not to get too upset about this, stay calm and think happy thoughts about how weirdly cute sloths are or something. I'm sure you'll all be terribly disappointed to hear that Stretch Armstrongthe movie isn't going to happen. At least not for a long while and certainly not with Taylor Lautner playing th...

The first season of American Horror Story reached its grisly yet oddly touching conclusion back in January.Since then I’ve been practically bursting to discuss the show’s finale with anyone, I’m not picky about whom. The problem? I can’t find anyone else who has been watching. It is a familiar scenario, the same thing happened with Bored to Death and How to Make it in America

Madonna’s half time show at the Superbowl. Where do I even begin?The hardcore Madonna fan will no doubt have passed out somewhere between “Vogue” and “Music”, therefore missing the further lip synched revivals of “Like a Prayer” and her new song “Give Me All Your Luvin’” with M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj.

Being British means that there are certain areas of American popular culture that elude me. The main one being: why is there a restaurant chain called International House of Pancakes if it only exists in America? IHoP aside, the biggest cultural conundrum to come my way has to be a low key and understated event called the Super Bowl.

As Bitch Magazine has already observed, the sky is blue, water is wet, and the Oscar nominations are a big feminist disappointment. This seems to be the year they officially become as irrelevant as the Grammys, in industry showcase that reflects no vision of reality outside the industrial boardrooms. In a year when awards can be offered ...

The Pirates! is a series of books that follows a group of pirates on their adventures. Based on this description alone, one imagines the same tales of nautical mayhem that so many of us have enjoyed since childhood: pirate booty, maybe some mermaids, and daring sword fights galore. Gideon Defoe throws those conventions of the genre out the window, however. He creates something, which simply put, is fucking hysterical. The best way I can describe it is to allude to Monty Python. It’s ...
