In the Rearview 👁️

There are a mere 40 days left in 2022—but who's counting, right? (If you're counting, we have a great calendar that'll do that for you.)

In Hindsight

Dedicated readers of V—Mail may be familiar with the monumental effort of Cheek to Cheek, Bianca Albino's yearlong project of illustrating a new butt each day. To honor her work in creating 365 beautiful buns, we've created In Hindsight: a tear-off, butt-a-day calendar.

While In Hindsight is perfect for 2023, it is not year-specific—gift one to a friend and stockpile a few of your own. Each day brings a new, delightful derrière.
