...Visibly drunk is a rare look for a character who, over 46 years on the big screen (and 22 official Bond titles), has demonstrated a refined taste for alcohol, ordering libations from Dom Pérignon to mint juleps and influencing a whole generation of fans on what's hip to sip. "Instead of an action hero chugging a beer or pounding down a shot, it's clear that Ian Fleming started this franchise with a real sense of taste - if you'll pardon the pun - for fine living and nice drinks," says Tom Sisson, director of the New York...
...Asian grandmothers clutching shopping bags, girls in leggings lost in their iPod worlds, thirty-somethings in scrubs who got on and off at Charles MGH. But the black passengers seemed changed, somehow. Maybe it was the young black man wearing a shirt of the type that usually has a hip-hop artist plastered across its front, only Tupac’s face was replaced by Barack Obama’s.

Eminem made a movie and then disappeared, Kanye West and Estelle bounced irresistibly delicious sounds back and forth from both sides of the Atlantic, but nothing really changed—nothing was really revolutionized. Hip-hop continued to sit quite comfortably in its own little groove. The Knux?...
...retail rock star on its way to Harajuku. In the Japanese capital's frenetic neighborhood, where young Tokyoites troll the shops of local and global brands for hip deals, fans are already worked into a frenzy. H&M's second store in Japan - nestled in a glass building with a façade worthy of a SoHo gallery and branded with the signature red "H&M" - uses monochromatic tones and floor-to-ceiling windows to make the Swedish giant's bright-colored clothing stand out. But there's still one thing missing: lines of eager Japanese consumers winding around...
