I lived in Bangkok for a few years and traveled the region extensively. I love Asian-inspired fashion, but I now feel self-conscious wearing some of my Asian pieces as I am not Asian and don’t want to be disrespectful in any way. What do I do with my ao dai, Chinese jacket, Shanghai Tang items…
By the end of the 12-week study, those given naltrexone reported bingeing less frequently and consuming less alcohol than those who had been given a placebo, a change that lasted for up to six months. The most commonly reported side effect of naltrexone was nausea, although it was generally mild and resolved itself as people…
The traditional reasons for an auction are death, divorce or debt. Adam Lindemann currently qualifies for none of these, but he’s selling anyway. It is considered verboten for collectors to sell off works by living artists, lest they depress their markets. But Lindemann is doing this, too. And while the identities of living sellers at…

Watchmaking traces its origins to 16th century Europe. And one category of watches present through much of that history — in a discreet, custom-order kind of way — still is being made by several luxury watch brands: timepieces with dials or cases depicting sex. They are “for the most part, classified just as ‘erotic,’” Simon…
It is one of the most enduring images from the silent film era, and arguably the movie stunt that led to the cliffhanging, skyscraper-loving action hero of today: the actor Harold Lloyd dangling from the hands of a clock on the side of an office building. The film, “Safety Last!,” released in April 1923, was…
