“Some tattoos mean more than others to me. They all mark a moment in time.” IT’S A CHILLY MORNING IN BROOKLYN, AND ANTHONY BOURDAIN IS LYING on his side on a tatami mat, being poked in the arm by a very pointy stick. There’s a glass of whisky nearby, from which Bourdain periodically sips to help dull the pain, while cameras capture every moment. The man doing the poking is Japanese-born tattoo artist Takashi Matsuba, who owns the studio that Bourdain and his crew have taken over for an episode of the Balvenie’s Raw Craft. The web series, which premiered in 2015 and began its third season this year, profiles America’s most talented craftspeople, all chosen by the host. For this episode, Bourdain is getting a large tattoo on his…

STATEMENT OUTERWEAR IS UNDERRATED This season’s coats are all about grabbing attention—make sure you get the right kind by striking a balance somewhere between David Bowie and Kanye West.

THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT the ninja is the absolutely bonkers core strength and the ability to turn the body any way they please. Be it Chuck Norris’ more steady turn in The Octagon in 1980, or bona fide Japanese martial artiste Sho Kosugi and his skills in 1985’s Pray For Death—the man actually studied ninjutsu—the art has become a mainstay in Hollywood. And with reason. It’s immensely satisfying action, and it takes us back in time to when strength wasn’t all about muscles and bulk. Even in 1995’s Mortal Kombat and the more recent Ninja Assassin in 2009—a genuine martial arts masterpiece that really takes the ninja mystique to the next level—the focus is on the agility and skill of the ninja or shinobi. Inspired by all this…

ONE OF THE ONLY REASONS TO GET INTO magazine publishing was the glamour associated with it. There is no real glamour, really, because a large part of the job is wading through words and pictures, most likely in a dusty office in suburbia. But the man who made me and others believe that it is the best life you could live—because that’s what he created for himself—was Hugh M. Hefner. The legendary founder of Playboy wasn’t all play, as news reports would have you believe. He changed mainstream media, survived attempts to embarrass him, and inspired countless publishers to create their own legacies, including Felix Dennis, Maxim’s founder. The Hef will be immortalised in pop culture through his larger-than-life but amenable persona, through the women who have become legends in…

What’s Kubra Sait like when the cameras are turned off and the audience goes home? Lazy and hungry. I also play with my cat Shifu Sait. I write sometimes and watch TV shows. Basically relax. The couch becomes my favourite place to chill. What attracted you to being a part of Going Viral Pvt. Ltd.? The team. I have been a fan girl of Anuvab Pal’s writing skills, his delivery and his madness. Then there is this notorious Kunaal Roy Kapoor, who is effortlessly funny. His nuances and little responses crack you up. It was hard for me to play the badass boss, because I would constantly break into a laugh, that is who I am. Even at a stand-up show, I’ll be the one laughing the loudest. So to…

IT’S CALLED LE PAS DANS LE VIDE—STEP INTO THE VOID— a tourist attraction at the top of Aiguille du Midi mountain, a ski resort in the French Alps town of Chamonix. If you’re a tourist, you take a cable car and then an elevator to the peak, where you can gaze at the spectacular scenery below. If you’re Jokke Sommer, you take the same elevator to the top of the mountain—and then you jump. “It’s pretty crazy,” Sommer says. “You’re standing there with the tourists and then you go over. You can fly for three minutes, from 12,000 feet. It’s super trippy, like Alice in Wonderland.” Sommer is one of the world’s premier wingsuit pilots, in addition to being a BASE jumper, paraglider, free skier/boarder, surfer, and motocross rider. “Lately…

You’ve already had five films this year and have a packed schedule ahead. You’re one hard-working person, aren’t you? I’m just making sure my audience doesn’t miss me much and that they get used to watching me onscreen! Trust me, there’s no other way people will feel my presence. I’ve realised that. The easy way isn’t helping me. I have to work doubly hard to get noticed. More power to you. What’s next? There are two more films I’m starting and hopefully finishing this year. One is called Mulkh—it’s a social thriller directed by Anubhav Sinha with an ensemble cast including Rishi Kapoor, Neena Gupta, Rajat Kapoor and Ashutosh Rana. It’s going to be pretty hard-hitting. Then, we’ve got a biopic on the ex-captain of the Indian hockey team, Sandeep…
