“The Guardian of Couture” Teaser Promo, Part One

Couture Magazine isn’t just a fashion bible — it’s a battleground. Behind the glossy covers and celebrity spreads lies a world where interns are tested beyond coffee runs and copy machines. From clogged toilets to 24/7 on-call chaos, survival means shedding illusions and stepping into the fire.

But the real test? The Primal Premiere. That’s when the staff — those impossibly beautiful, retro-glasses-wearing editors — reveal their true selves. And if you’re not ready for what’s underneath, you’re not ready for Couture.

I should know. I lived it.

My name is Alcide Lancaster. I survived the summer internship that changed everything — spandex, secrets, Fashion Week madness, and the September Issue. I uncovered a legacy my grandparents once protected, one my family rejected. But I embraced it, with allies, love, and legends by my side.

This is my story.

You’ll never forget the first time.
Exclusively on Wattpad, hitting the runway May 2026. Don’t miss it!

The Best of Friends

My review of Back From the Other Side by Justiss Goode is on Medium with five stars.

Helena and Jose meet when he pulls her from danger during a chaotic anti-ICE rally. What follows is a contemporary romance that earns its urgency by grounding itself in the world as it is right now.

Goode proves that big ideas and genuine emotional depth do not require hundreds of pages to land.

When Helena and Jose meet at an anti-ICE protest, their connection sparks a relationship built on shared commitment to social justice. This article explores a short book that examines how love develops within the context of activism, looking at the tensions between personal happiness and collective struggle.

Brooklyn Motto (Alex Johnson, 2025)

Sometimes you need a book to take you back, not to relive who you were, but to remember how it felt to be becoming someone. Art gives us that gift: revisiting youth without getting stuck there.

Johnson's crime novel did that for me.
