 FIRE STARTER
What do you look for in a guy?
A sense of humor more than anything. I like a guy that can laugh at the world. He doesn't have to be rich or handsome. It's what's inside that counts.
Do you have a boyfriend now?
Nope. I htink guys are intimidated by models, so a lot o...

Vice ContributorsROGER LYDON
Hairstylist Roger Lydon grew up on the mean streets of Brooklyn, believe it or not. Who would have thought that a kid who fought his way through a childhood worthy of a Scorsese epic would make his living snipping, dyeing, and primping the hair of models for fashion magazines...

 SO HOT!
The underground simply cannot keep its sexiest secret quiet anymore. Indie queen Hari Leigh, who up to now has starred only in très edgy short features in the NYC film world, is about to break loose with a starring role in sleazemeister extraordinaire John Waters' next scandalous movie, A Low Down D...

 LETTER FROM VICE'S EDITOR
Hello Readers!
Putting together each issue of Vice makes us realize how tough it must be giving birth! Not to sound like a woman here, but every month we fret and fuss, grow big with ideas and excitement, talk excitedly into the night, and then...pop! Out comes a bouncing baby magazin...

 SO COOL!
Talk about smoldering! New York-based actor PJ Ransone is the definition of indie hotness, but unlike most young actors, he could give a toss ['ello, 'elllo, 'ello--Ed.]. You see, he is just too cool to be bothered.
After appearing everywhere from HBO's The Wire to Larry Clark's ultra-cont...

 BEHIND THE NAVARRO
FOR ME Dave combines an amazingly dark sexuality and in-built feeling for all things ethereal with a down-to-earthedness that is so refreshing for a big rock star of his standing. It makes even a girl like me (I'm kinda like a Suicide Girl!) go weak at the knees. That's why I have been FANati...

 GLOBAL GRAFFITI
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of the dead, there are a million reminders that I have no future. The battered old navy yard sits abandoned. "For Rent" signs compete with "Out of Business" signs for my attention. A black cat flees in front of me and then, a moment later, a rat scurries af...

Ask any true snowboarder and they'll tell you: the way to live life is by going for it, by any means necessary, 24-7-365, 'til the break of dawn.
Some of the things these white line junkies get up to both on AND off the slopes are unprintable--even in a magazine like this! Over the past two ye...

 COORDINATED CORRECT!
Right now, hip-hop fashion in America is definitely where it should be. All the people making regular clothing are from another culture. So you got cats like me, Sean John, and anyone else who has some kind of record career or entertainment career, they also have clothing lines.

 GROWING UP KRAVITZ
As an American latchkey kid raised on too much TV, microwave dinners, and easy answers that never made much sense, I often felt musicians were more like family to me than my own parents. Sad but true. In emotionally disconnected times, the rebellious heroes of rock have a lot more to tell the kids t...

They kick ass, don't ...

There's no longer a need for Australians to travel a million miles to move it in downtown, because Australia has M-town. Yes, Melbourne is shaking--cocktails that is.

Who knows why, but with the genre working its way out of the undergrou...
