Menstruation, but make it fashion. That was the name of the game for 25-year-old period activist Nadya Okamoto who recently turned heads by wearing earrings that look like used tampons on the red carpet.
“It was super last minute, but it felt very on-theme,” Okamoto tells Yahoo Life of her accessory choice for the premiere of Amazon Prime’s new mini-series Dead Ringers, which is based on the 1988 psychological thriller about twin gynecologists. “I would have done it anyway. Even

Valdes is used to living with anxiety. In 2018, the 33-year-old entrepreneur was diagnosed with
Fans and scholars might be surprised to learn that the earring in Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (1664–67) may have been an imitation gem. The work is one of the Dutch artist’s most iconic paintings and was inspired by a 1995 historical novel that was adapted into a 2003 film starring Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth. This discovery is one of many explored by the Rijksmuseum’s Vermeer retrospective, which opened on February 10.
