Forum Members React to Anna Wintour Stepping Down as Vogue Editor-in-Chief
After a monumental 37 years, Anna Wintour is to step down at Vogue as the magazine's long-serving editor-in-chief. As a result, Wintour is now on the hunt for a head of editorial content for the American fashion bible. Wintour will remain as global editorial director of Vogue (and will also continue as chief content officer of parent company Condé Nast). Appointed in 1988 (replacing Grace Mirabella) as Vogue EIC, the London-born editor ultimately reshaped the fashion media landscape, transforming Vogue into a cultural force. Wintour's first cover for November 1988 broke new ground. The revolutionary cover featured Israeli model Michaela Bercu in a $50 pair of Guess jeans and a heavily embellished Christian Lacroix sweater (priced at $10,000). Wintour's final issue as editor-in-chief is unknown, and a successor will be appointed in due course.
'End of an era.' [lanvinray]
'I didn't think I'd live to see the day. Rather than representing a possible renaissance for the magazine, a new EIC is probably just gonna accelerate its descent into pure irrelevancy.' [YohjiAddict]
'I feel conflicted. On one hand, I am happy to see her leave since things got really awful. On the other hand, I am afraid that whoever replaces her will be even worse.' [Avonlea]
'It will be curious trajectory Vogue US will take. But even so, she will continue to oversee how everything will work. It's bittersweet, even if it had to come someday.' [AFWQ]
'From it's being reported this won't be a big structural change. She's still overseeing the magazine (as well as the other CN titles), just not doing the day-to-day editor work. I don't see the new person having much freedom to make radical changes, they'll be lackeys like the ones in UK, France and Italy. Ultimately it's still her magazine and her decisions.' [Marc10]
'Anna isn't going anywhere, and will never be replaced. She will continue to oversee all of the Vogue's, and will hire a 'content editor', to do the day to day tasks at American Vogue. Nothing to see here.' [mepps]

Trailer For The SLICE OF LIFE a Delightful Doc at the Unexpected Afterlife of Old Pizza Hut Buildings — GeekTyrant
There's something oddly comforting about seeing an old Pizza Hut building, even if it's no longer serving personal pan pizzas. I have memories as a kid going to Pizza Hut restaurants to eat dinner with the family. Slice of Life , a new documentary from Brooklyn filmmakers Matthew Salleh and Rose Tucker, takes that strange nostalgia and turns it into something surprisingly meaningful. They crisscrossed the country visiting former Pizza Hut buildings now reborn as a karaoke bar in Texas, a cannabis dispensary in rural Colorado, and a LGBTQ+ church in Florida, These places, once symbols of mid-century American chain-restaurant charm, now reflect the evolving communities that inhabit them. As the filmmakers put it: 'A contemporary portrait of America, observed within the walls of former Pizza Hut buildings across the country.' Slice of Life also draws a line back to the brand's humble beginnings, weaving in the story of the Carney brothers, who launched Pizza Hut in Wichita, Kansas, back in 1958. The film smartly positions these transformed locations as mirrors of modern America, each new use layered over memories of childhood birthday parties, jukebox songs, and endless breadsticks. 'These nostalgic spaces hold memories of a bygone era,' the filmmakers explain, 'but through the power of transformation, they provide something new and special for the communities that continue to flow through them.' It's an unexpectedly heartfelt reminder that even the most ordinary buildings can live extraordinary second lives.

Engineer Builds a Rideable Real-Life Transformer, and It's Pretty Cool — GeekTyrant
Some childhood dreams just won't die. Case in point, engineer James Bruton, who actually built a rideable Transformer that can switch between a small drivable car and a towering six-foot humanoid robot. In the video below, Bruton shows off the mechanics behind the project, which transforms (slowly, but still!) from vehicle to upright robot mode with the push of a button. It's not about speed or battle-readiness, it's just about the sheer joy of making something this absurdly fun.
