The University of Bath's Centre for Death and Society wouldn't make many people's dream list of places to work, but Dr John Troyer must like it – he's the deputy director. The sociologist grew up with a funeral director father, and as such saw...

There is, of course, a long association between prostitutes and art - the working girls often being employed as models when business was slow, or had fallen asleep. Rubens' models didn't have quite so many tattoos, it's true, but the link is still...

It seems pretty tame stuff in the age of internet "erotica", but these photographs of pioneering pin-up Bettie Page were once deemed sexually explicit by a senate subcommittee during the USA's McCarthy-era crackdown on, well, everything it seems....
Fashion
We don't often do swimwear in the UK – one might say we aren't built for it, and when it happens, the results are often... painful. It takes a rare kind of hardiness to stand the temperatures, as this chilly looking model demonstrates, and it...

Knackered old theatres lying dilapidated in a pile of their own rubble are sadly nothing new – if anything they are growing in number. It's tough times for fading stage stars, but it's not all doom and gloom though; even when things get really...

We've all done it, haven't we...woken up and opened one bleary eye, and just for a second thought we could see Is This It by The Strokes lying on the floor by the bed, then realised it was just the way our socks had fallen on the floor the night...

Plaza Khao Gaeng opens its second London restaurant in Borough Yards, bringing its Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognised Southern Thai cooking to a new setting beneath the historic Stoney Street arches. Following the success of the original Tottenham...

Stand at ground level at Park Hill and you can almost smell yesterday’s pub food drifting out from the cafés and hear the ghost-clank of milk floats the decks were once designed to carry. The Grace Owen nursery sits on its small patch of...

Devotees of high-concept visual worlds and razor-sharp cultural remixing have reason to clear space in their calendars, Matthew Marks Gallery having unveiled Alex Da Corte: Parade, the artist’s first solo outing in New York in over five years, on...

Self-care is often described as something simple. Rest more. Eat well. Take breaks. Slow down. Yet in real life, taking care of yourself usually comes with a price tag. From therapy appointments to healthier groceries, from time off work to basic...
Dispatches
There was a time when eating out felt reserved for Fridays, Saturdays and special occasions. Midweek dinners were practical. Predictable. Usually home based. That rhythm is changing. Across the UK, more people are choosing to eat out on Tuesdays,...
