Back in 2016, we got the gender-flipped remake of Ghostbusters. Two years later, we were treated to Ocean’s 8. Now, we’re getting LA’s Finest, a female-fronted spin-off of Bad Boys. Two words: “Yes!” and “finally!” The Spectrum Original stars Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba as detectives on a mission to take down the worst crop […]
How big is fashion in Tbilisi? Well, possibly bigger than the country itself. The story of how this off-the-grid, Eastern European nation became a fashion hot spot is long one, and undoubtedly worthy of a post of its own.
