What’s In Your Bag? NERVO Edition!

We once outlined why Australia is the best place in the entire world, so it wasn’t really surprising when Mim and Liv of EDM twin-duo NERVO turned out to be essentially the coolest humans that have ever existed. I was fortunate enough to catch up with them at CoverGirl’s Summer Beauty Remix in New York, and despite being approximately 3ft taller than me, they were kind enough to sit and share their beauty tips/tricks/must-haves…all the while giving me a peep into their communal bag.

(The girls also gave me a piece of “chewy” (gum), an unexpected shout-out to my Canadian existence, and many compliments pertaining to my bleach blonde crop – but I guess that deserves a story all to itself). read more…

TRENDING: Sushi Cats

The best instances always result from bizarre things getting married (take a look at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ spawn for example) – and this is a belief that I’ve been dedicated to for the past couple of years. I couldn’t explain how this came about, but contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t something I adopted for the sake of being more likeable and relatable. Rather, it was something that came about ~organically~ because I took it upon myself to be more open-minded.

I therefore would like to present you with sushi cats: two of my favourite things existing as one entity (for the present time). This entire construct excited me so greatly I needed to articulate it as soon as humanly possible, and that is why this sushi cat collective is about to exist. I hope you are okay with this because the world is about to get really real. read more…

FYI: Canadian Things on Justin Bieber’s Instagram

This pains me to admit, but there are a handful of things that I like about Justin Bieber. I’m usually pretty unabashed about my likes and dislikes, but there’s something very incriminating about admitting an…un-ironic appreciation…for someone who is frequently…not…appreciated…

I think this matter has exploded into less-than-desirable proportions since I skirted around the topic in this guide that I penned to a non-specific/not-exclusive-to-me audience. One Justin Bieber post is plenty, but a second one is (arguably) a little excessive. With that said, you can only imagine that having to speak candidly about this topic is going to end up with me either 1) fleeing the country or 2) appropriating a new identity (read: Selena Gomez). So with the intention of being as kind as possible, please read on to see a not-so-comfortable analysis of Canadian things on Justin Bieber’s Instagram. And remember, judgements are not welcome. read more…

Who Wore It Best: Miley Cyrus vs. Other Things In The World

Jaws dropped when pictures of Miley Cyrus at The Met Gala surfaced, but ours stayed perfectly in line with our faces as we made the conscious effort to be perfectly calm/collected in the face of humanized night terrors. Though the theme of the Gala was punk, MC took her sartorial choices to new levels – challenging our (almost-perfected) dead-pan expressions, and causing us to publicly confess that our Internet-composure severely waned. We have therefore reached a consensus (which is now shared universally) that the happenings on Miley’s head were out of this world – so let’s take the time to bring things back to human-levels of normality and compare her hair to other people/objects/animals. read more…

In Pseudo-Defence of Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway. The Princess of Genova, the cinematic apple of Christian Bale’s eye, the most fabulous of all fabulously unfashionable (fictional) fashion magazine assistants to ever grace the big screen. For a CV/IMBD profile chock-full of fun times, admirable royalty-ness (and a Walkman), it should come as no shock that here at Fora, Anne has assumed the role been appointed as a full-time magic pixie-haired lady.

But yet – we experienced fleeting moments of uncertainty as we continued our days of perusing the majestical world of the WWW, only to be faced with countless articles dedicated to (cruelly) undermining Anne’s accomplishments. And since figuring out why “Anne” and “Internet plague” are synonymous is physically impossible, for the sake of spandex bodysuits and the not-so ying to James Franco’s Oscar yang, let’s take a trip down ~memory lane~ and focus on all the things Anne has done right over the past couple of decades of being a celebrity human. read more…

#MTVeyespy With @AndrewKnapp and Momo

And because today marks DAY ONE of MTV Instamissions, it only made sense to create our own version of #findmomo, ~*Fora*~ stylezzz!!!!! read more…

8 Things Chloe Moretz And I Could Do If We Were Best Friends


Source: Nylon Mag

I have a confession to make: There have been multiple occasions where I’ve found myself absentmindedly perusing various Internet Website dedications to (former) blonde teenage beauty, Chloe Grace Moretz. I couldn’t tell you why so much of my time was invested to fetes so ostentatious, but now that those hours of my life have long-departed, I regret nothing.

Let me clarify that all of this Internet-creepage was done in the least weird way possible, as my dedication stems from pure admiration, good intentions, and not inappropriate obsession. Either way, each paragraph that I skimmed (at length) informed me that the teenage superstar frequently replies to the tweets of strange humans. “That could be me!” I exclaimed. And thus, this series of anecdotes has become semi-relevant, and my determination to become best friends with Chloe Moretz has now become a public idea that I hope can be shared amongst ourselves and our relevant social circles. To further add ~dimension~ to this very understandable topic, here are some pictorial executions of things that Chloe and I could do together once we’re #besties…so…I hope you enjoy! read more…

Understanding Jenna Marbles’ Fame

A little while ago, we analyzed all the advice Jenna Marbles has ever given us and compiled it under the premise of style tips to never take from her. Though that was fun while it lasted, we’re back on that ~Marbles tip~, and instead of strictly pseudo-praising her goddess-ness, we’re going to skip the passivity and attempt to reach the root of her popularity. How did she become who she is now and what humans did she beat out in the process? Join us as we distill her insane and instant fame, and help us devise a potentially elaborate plan to join her as the reigning queen of the WWW (and maybe the world). read more…

Throwback: Scarlett Johansson Was Killing It In The 90s

Scarlett Johansson is the raspy-voiced vixen lady of some of the most varied Hollywood masterpieces of the past decade, staking her claim at the forefront of this generation’s “best dressed” lists and (figuratively, gracefully, eloquently) head-butting less-superior humans out of the way in the process. But where exactly did she come from? Not from the sky like a majestical angel as per our original premonitions, but rather from some random child-birthing / stylish-baby-creating location in her hometown of NYC.

And although the aforementioned is still up in the air, we’ve taken the time to look past her (maybe) magical origins and ~dig a little deeper~ so we may 1) get to the root of her fashion-y tendencies and 2) share our findings with you in one of the most enlightened TBT dedications to date. read more…
