THE COMPASS This month’s cultural ups and downs

Pointing you in the right cultural direction this month...

FROCKUMENTARIES

Make diary time for two new grit-and-glitter documentaries that peek inside the world of Studio 54 (in cinemas 15th June) and the life of fashion icon McQueen (out 8th June).

LIPLICKS

Remember that watermelon Lip Smacker you loved at school? Well, it’s had an adult update, courtesy of MAC, whose Oh Sweetie glosses drop this month (hello, Funfetti Cake flavour).

QUEER EAR

Craving more Queer Eye? Fill the void with Jonathan Van Ness’s Getting Curious podcast, which asks (and answers) the big questions, on everything from cults to racism. Yas, Queen!

ALPHABET HAIR

Ideal if you’re growing out a fringe, even better if you want to communicate naughty sentences via your hair. Kicked off by designer Ashley Williams, with prices starting at £110. Do it.

FOOD TROLLEYS

Dust off your nan’s ’80s dinner-party trolley – serving your food on wheels (from cheese to dim sum) is taking the culinary scene by storm once more.

BODMIN

Noun: describes the dull task of performing body-related admin (exfoliating, waxing, tanning). As in, “Sorry I can’t come, I’m doing pre-Tenerife bodmin.”

SEX DUST

Moon Juice has created an aphrodisiac powder, which tastes a little like licking that dusty top shelf you can never quite be arsed to reach up and clean. Oh, and it costs £39.

BOOK BAGS

Satchels that look like actual books. Easy enough to recreate if you put a library card to good use and repurpose a shoelace. Vetements want £3,483 for theirs. Ha.

EXTREME SLEEPING

So apparently suspending a very, very thin sheet off the edge of a cliff is a new way to camp.* We like adventure, but did we mention that the sheet looks very thin?

SLICED KETCHUP

Having smashed their Kickstarter campaign, Slice Of Sauce’s debut condiment (think tomatoey burger cheese) could soon be a reality. We’re curious… but also slightly dry-heaving.
