OUT NOW: THELMA TODD - ICE CREAM BLONDE

This issue has been six months in the making. At the start of the pandemic, Los Angeles - much like the rest of the world - was in lockdown. A month and a half into it, I ventured outside for the first time to retrace Thelma’s steps on that fateful December night. I am so proud of this issue! I have packed it full of pictures, collages, and little known facts that I stumbled upon over the past few months.
