Vanity Fair: Karlie Kloss Is 'Terrified To Have A Bad Hair Day' Now That You're All Obsessed With Her Hair Cut
Huffington Post - Feb 12, 2013

By Bennett Marcus, Vanity Fair There has been so much buzz about Karlie Kloss's new, shorter hairstyle that people are calling it merely "the Chop" or "the Karlie" -- even "the New Rachel" -- and The New York Times recently dubbed her Jean Shrimpton-y bob the haircut of 2013.

Kathleen Beckett: Cornwall By The Sea And In The Garden
Huffington Post - Jul 10, 2012

One of England's most dramatic districts, Cornwall lies to the west of London, sticking out into the Atlantic and bordered by it on two coasts. Travelers by train out of Paddington Station would hit the Cornish border in a couple hours, passing first through bucolic Devon.

While many visitors and residents of the city alik...
