Glamorama, the fourth novel by Bret Easton Ellis, arrived to U.S. bookstores just in time for Christmas 1998. The book tells the story of Victor Ward, a young, attractive model who becomes involved in an international terrorist group. To critics, Glamorama seemed delirious. To Ellis, it was a satire of ‘90s society, obsessed with consumerism, brands and success. During the same era, Hoyt Richards, who is considered the first male supermodel, was immersed in his own thriller rife with conspiracy and paranoia. At 36 years of age, he was a fashion legend. He had worked for the best designers, walked runways around the world, and earned millions. What no one knew is that he was also trying to escape from an exclusive sect for the hot and rich.

David Hockney, the iconic British painter who cast a revolutionary gaze across 20th-century art, has died aged 88.

He made his name as a pop artist during the swinging 60s and was perhaps best known for his paintings of swimming pools that helped define the Los Angeles aesthetic. Works such as A Bigger Splash and Portrait of an Artist (Pool With Two Figures) depicted hedonistic scenes of love, lust and loss taking place below the city’s sun-soaked skies.

The SpaceX I.P.O. will enable its founder to build — and scale — his peculiar vision of society.

Glamourama, la cuarta novela de Bret Easton Ellis, llegó a las librerías estadounidenses a tiempo para las Navidades de 1998. El libro cuenta la historia de Victor Ward, un modelo joven y atractivo que se ve envuelto en una banda de terroristas internacionales. Para la crítica, Glamourama era un delirio. Para Ellis, era una sátira de la sociedad de los noventa, obsesionada con el consumo, las marcas y el éxito. En esa misma época, Hoyt Richards, considerado como el primer supermodelo masculino, estaba sumido en su propio thriller conspiranoico. A sus 36 años, era una leyenda de la moda. Había trabajado para los mejores diseñadores, había desfilado por todo el mundo y había ganado millones. Lo que nadie sabía es que estaba intentando escapar de una secta solo para ricos y guapos.
