All About Eva
Eva Mendes is having a big beauty year. The Cuban-American stunner has been signed by both Pantene and Parfums Thierry Mugler. But campaign coups aside, Mendes’ personal beauty routine isn’t all that glam. “I’m low-maintenance when I’m on my own, in the regular day to day,” she says. That translates to a regimen heavy on [...]

Toasting Womanity In A “Temple Of Machismo”
As one of New York’s most notable culture vultures, Kim Hastreiter knows how to throw a party—or make that curate a party. The Paper magazine editor has a knack for gathering creative types for the pure pleasure of giving herself and those in attendance the opportunity to mingle and “talk to someone they’ve never met [...]
