Jan 14, 2025 | hardcopy.online | Brittany Menjivar

Sloppy, Rax KingNonfiction, July 29, 2025I've been following food writer and cultural analyst Rax King for years. In past ventures, such as the podcast Low Culture Boil and debut essay collection Tacky, she's explored the appeal of lowbrow culture from the Cheesecake Factory to Guy Fieri.
Interpreting the Mythos of the Office Siren — HARD COPY

Dec 6, 2024 | hardcopy.online | Brittany Menjivar

She wears black plastic glasses with narrow rectangular frames; whether they’re prescription or not is unclear. Her blazer covers a button-up shirt with the top button undone. Her skirt falls to her knees but clings to her hips in just the right way; maybe a slit up the back or side reveals a sliver of skin. She’s the office siren—at least, that’s what the Internet would have us believe. Like many contemporary fashion phenomena, the “office siren aesthetic” exists mainly in collective fantasy.
A Twin Peaks Style Profile — HARD COPY

Oct 25, 2024 | hardcopy.online | Brittany Menjivar

Soon, the temperature will fall; sleeves and hemlines will lengthen. Kyle MacLachlan is all over our social media feeds; has announced his intent to make movies until he dies. It’s the perfect time to take in the autumnal vibes of Twin Peaks—and take some style inspiration from its sharply dressed leads. Of course, we’re all obsessed with Audrey Horne, but she’s not the only fashionista in our favourite fictional small town. Donna, Jessie, Norma, and co.
Frances Ha: the movie that taught me being a chaotic 20-something is OK — HARD COPY

Oct 17, 2024 | hardcopy.online | Leah Commandeur

"I'm so embarrassed, I'm not a real person yet"Frances suffers from the chronic woman-child syndrome many do in their post-teenage era. At 27, she loses the job that was keeping her life semi-together, temporarily drifting from her only friend, and, to top it all off, she has no idea who the hell she is. She moves into an apartment with two randos, one of which is Lev (Adam Driver), a guy she went on one terrible date with, and his socially awkward roommate Benji (Michael Zegen).
Reading on Red: what is it about a red dress? — HARD COPY

Oct 9, 2024 | hardcopy.online | Jessica-Belle Greer

The red fashion trend has been simmering for several seasons now—and it’s set to be the hottest colour for autumn. With hues ranging from Baywatch swimsuits to an especially striking sunset to a rich barolo, red is a re-energizing colour, whether in the office or strolling to dinner. For millennia, red clothing was a sign of status—the intense tone ensuring that the rich and powerful were the centre of attention.
I Don’t Have Kids but I’m Not Childless — HARD COPY

Sep 18, 2024 | hardcopy.online | Ilene Smith

I started my transformation from being a woman who hadn’t had children yetto a woman who would neverhave kids when I was forty-four. I had spent the afternoon in the Central Park Zoo with another of my best friends, Judy, and her two-year-old son, Michael. As someone who exercised daily, I was confident I could keep up with the energetic toddler. But, after doing Olympic-level sprints around the Zoo, the playground, and the boat pond, I realized what I really needed was triathlete-level training.
From Tradwife to Girlboss: Martha Stewart Continuously Redefines What It Means To Be A Woman — HARD COPY

Aug 2, 2024 | hardcopy.online | Anna Haines

As I'm having dinner with Martha Stewart, I'm overcome with déjà vu. To be clear, this was my first time dining with the icon. I was attending Kohler Food and Wine, an intimate culinary festival in Kohler, Wisconsin, that gives guests the rare opportunity to dine with celebrity chefs. But this particular evening felt familiar because 'Martha' was everywhere—from the "Dinner With Martha" menu placed in front of me to the guests calling her name.
Why aren't people more outraged about the new research on tampons? — HARD COPY

Jul 24, 2024 | hardcopy.online | Aleah Balas

If you're thinking, "I'll switch to organic cotton tampons, surely they performed better." You're wrong. While lead was found in higher concentrations in regular tampons, concentrations of arsenic were higher in organic tampons. The literal embodiment of pick your poison. This seems alarming given these products are going into vaginas everywhere about once per month for the vast majority of most women's living years. In fact, it is estimated that 50–80% of those who menstruate use tampons.
Collage Therapy: an inwards inquiry — HARD COPY

Jul 22, 2024 | hardcopy.online | Rohini Kejriwal

Sitting at my desk with a stack of magazines, a cutting board, scissors, an Exacto knife, and a glue stick ready for use almost always opens up a doorway within myself, a sanctuary for introspection. Once that happens, it’s all about trusting the processing, not being overly outcome-driven, and letting the complexities of the inner world come pouring out.
Be a Difficult Woman — HARD COPY

Jul 17, 2024 | hardcopy.online | Aisiri Amin

Last week, I was sitting in a park, willing the fresh air to shock my brain out of a writing slump. On the bench to my right, a man had giant headphones on and was tapping his feet to the beat. Just as I was about to gather my things and give up, his daughter ran to him and asked if they could go home. This was the third time she had asked in about five minutes. His quick response was, "Don't be difficult; just go play." The familiar words hit me like a jolt, triggering a flight or fight response.
