Mackenzie Davis on “Happiest Season,” Working With Clea DuVall, and That One “Black Mirror” Episode
“Now is the time for a Christmas romantic comedy, and this movie is one dependable thing that hasn’t been thrown out of whack.”…



It’s hard to imagine now, but there was a not-too-distant time when genuinely moving films and TV shows made about and for queer people were few and far between; before Lena Waithe and Céline Sciamma were household names, many of us had to content ourselves with rewatching The L Word on a loop. Even now, many of the films that center on LGBTQ+ couples tend to be period pieces, which makes the new, Clea DuVall-directed Hulu film Happiest Season—a romantic comedy featuring a lesbian couple going home for Christmas—all the more exciting.
Vogue recently Zoomed with Happiest Season star Mackenzie Davis, whom you might recognize from her roles in Tully, Halt and Catch Fire and Terminator: Dark Fate, about the experience of bringing an overtly queer holiday film firmly into the mainstream. Read on for the details:
Where are you based right now?
I’m in London, in a pretty small Airbnb. I moved out of Los Angeles this year, and got to London just in time for the lockdown!
What has that been like for you?
It’s been mostly fine; I moved here October 1, so I knew what I was doing. L.A. was a relatively great place to be this year, because I had a garden and it didn’t feel unhealthy, so this feels…a lot lonelier. I had one of my best friends living with me in March and April and May, so it almost felt like camp or something fun. Now, I’m not in my own house, so there’s a lot of newness to this version of lockdown.
What is it like to have Happiest Season coming out into this bizarre new world?
We wrapped at the end of February, just when everything started changing; we were just starting to use hand sanitizer, and there were these really crystallized moments of awareness and denial. I’m so glad I have this movie coming out, and not something destructive or dour or really depressing; it’s a lovely thing, to think about people watching this in their home. I watched it a little while ago, and it feels cozy and normal—now is the time for a Christmas romantic comedy, and this movie is one dependable thing that hasn’t been thrown out of whack.

Rare Nike Air Foamposite One Yankees Sample Hits the Market

Sneaker culture is all about exclusivity, and sometimes, a truly special pair comes along that gets everyone excited. One such sneaker is the Nike Air Foamposite One Yankees Sample, a unique blend of basketball history and baseball style. With its striking look and connections to two famous sports worlds, this rare sneaker has just hit the resale market, and collectors are eager to get their hands on it. Originally created for basketball star Penny Hardaway, the Foamposite One became a staple of ’90s sneaker fashion. Its innovative design was groundbreaking at the time.
However, this special Yankees-themed version takes it a step further. It features a deep navy blue and bright white color scheme, resembling the classic pinstripes of the New York Yankees, one of the most celebrated teams in baseball. The unique wave design that runs across the upper part makes this sneaker stand out, giving it a dynamic look and feel. Unlike the regular versions sold in stores, this sample was never mass-produced, which adds to its appeal among collectors and passionate Yankees fans. Currently listed on Index PDX in size 9 for an impressive $3,500, the price reflects how rare it is.
However, what really matters is the story behind it. From basketball courts to everyday life, the Foamposite One has always been a symbol of performance and fashion. This Yankees edition connects two sports that have captured the hearts of fans for generations. For those lucky enough to own this sneaker, it’s a statement piece. It showcases Nike’s dedication to exploring and celebrating sports culture. Whether proudly displayed or worn to show off hometown pride, the Yankees Foamposite One serves as a reminder of the unforgettable moments shared between basketball and baseball.

Kim Kardashian’s Tesla Robot Photoshoot Sparks Social Media Firestorm

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to stirring up controversy, but her latest photoshoot has generated quite a surprising backlash. Recently, she shared a striking set of images for Perfect Magazine, where she posed alongside a humanoid robot from Tesla and sat on top of a shiny Cybertruck. The shoot was intended to playfully highlight her reputation as being “robotic,” something she feels has been used to describe her in the media. “I think the big joke about doing the shoot with the robot is that I feel like I’m so robotic,” she explained. However, not everyone found it amusing.
Many people online expressed their disapproval, and it wasn’t just about the futuristic look of the photos. Critics viewed the shoot as a nod of support for Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, who is currently a controversial figure facing boycotts. One commenter remarked, “She definitely picked a side,” while another harshly suggested that the Cybertruck could be iconic only if it were on fire! The discussion quickly expanded beyond fashion, with some linking the imagery to international conflicts. “Well, that’s a very clear side just picked, the same one that sides with Russia. Not great,” one user stated.
This incident highlights how public figures like Kardashian are closely watched for their choices and associations. Even what might seem like a fun photoshoot can carry significant meaning. While she intended the shoot to be lighthearted, the timing raised concerns for many fans, especially with Musk’s political connections currently under scrutiny and Tesla facing criticism. Despite the backlash, Kardashian has chosen to stay quiet and let the photos speak for themselves. As always, she is navigating between bold fashion choices and cultural debates, showing that whatever she does, people will have something to say about it. It remains to be seen if she will respond to the controversy or move on to her next big moment.
