This chart refers exclusively to work clothing: how women dress for fun is outside its purview. This is a measure of how much effort a woman is expected to make with her appearance while she’s trying to make a living, taking heel height as a fair proxy for overall work. It’s astonishingly consistent once you notice it.
If you are an actress/model who makes a living from her art, you fall more into the star/supermodel category. Your feet may still hurt, but at least your apartment is comfortable.

Theatre Live has partnered with Nimax Theatres to bring live commerce to the West End. Audiences at an event with Theatre Live can order concessions, downloads, and physical merchandise directly from their phone. That means no more queuing, no fiddling around with cash, and no endless waiting outside afterwards – you’ll be able to book your postshow cab or restaurant through the new Nimax app.
In the meantime we recently debuted live commerce for the Broadway community in partnership with NERDS, coming soon to Broadway. We had a great time working with producers Carl Levin, Vicki Halmos, and Elizabeth Williams, plus creative team Casey Hushion (director) and Hal Goldberg, Erik Weiner, and Jordan Allen Dutton (writers).
The official Nimax launch is coming soon, so watch this space!
We live in the age of data, on the personal and demographic scale. Research is changing our understanding of who consumes content, how they do so, and what value they offer advertisers and partners.

There comes a time in every LARPer’s life when you go to a game and meet someone who you feel like you know, and yet you are certain you’ve never met before. Perhaps you knew them in a past life, or they are just a master of cosplay. More likely, though, you don’t know them. You’ve just been to enough LARPs that you’ve started encountering certain types repeatedly: the Rules Lawyer, the Cat Lady, the All-Powerful Eastern Assassin. Every LARP over a certain size contains one or two, and bigger games might have half a dozen. In truly exceptional cases, you’ll get the full set in a single weekend. If you recognize the following ten people – and especially if you are one of them – you’ve really arrived as a LARPer.
