The fittingly named TigerText allows users to set a time limit on how long a text remains on a recipient’s phone after it’s read. Once the message’s lifespan ends, the app’s developers say there’s no trace of it on any phones or servers. When, for example, a cheating spouse sends his mistress an iPhone message via TigerText, the mistress will be prompted to install the app. The mistress...

“It’s my purgatory- really, dinner drinks, whatever. I’m never really...”
– Hank Moody from Californication
Finally up to Season 3 and my love of Hank has intensified. Couldn’t help but share this quote. How could a woman resist someone that loves her so intensely for such a brief moment and is so incredibly honest about the whole thing?!

RIP Alexander McQueen →
Posting this article I read a couple of years ago about Isabella Blow. It’s one of the most facinating pieces I’ve ever come across in New York Magazine. Isabella discovered McQueen and also committed suicide. It’s said that he never quite got over her death, which might have been to his demise. So sad.
