Iggy Azalea Gets Wet With Sharks While On Vacation

by Tracy J. Chu

Iggy Azalea is living dangerously!

The talented rapper who has been making waves and securing the bag on OnlyFans recently took some time off to enjoy a vacation and make memories that will last a lifetime. One of the highlights of her trip was an exhilarating swim with sharks. This adventure was incredibly daring as she got up close and personal with these fascinating creatures.

Iggy Azalea Gets Up Close and Personal With Sharks

The star tested boundaries while on holiday and shared a picture while at it. In her Instagram story, she was seen standing in water without wearing protective gear as the dangerous sea animals swam around her. 

She wore a dark green spaghetti top swimsuit and matching bottoms as she left her tresses with a face cap on to protect her face from the sun. The water was clear with an aqua-green hue as she bravely placed her hands on the top of the shark’s body.

She showed no signs of fear even as its fin seemed to brush her bare abs. The singer wrote, “A shark in the water how you found me.” After that mini adventure, she chose to chill and show some more of her toned stomach as she lounged on the yacht’s deck. 

In the picture, she lay on a towel wearing a beige-colored bikini and let her blonde curls flow to the side. Covering her face with her hand from the sun, the entrepreneur left the post captionless but provided the name of the paradise she was at, “Exuma Islands.” 

The comment section was filled with fans expressing their wish to be on vacation and gushing over her body. Like this person who jokingly wrote, “Iggy teaching us geography cuz im too broke to have ever heard

Many celebrities leave their colder homes to enjoy tropical and warmer vacation spots over the New Year holiday celebrations, and Kaley Cuoco is one of them.

She and her boyfriend, Tom Pelphrey, enjoyed some fun among the palms for a bit of a break in the winter blues as they anxiously awaited the arrival of their baby girl.

The two aren’t shy at all when it comes to showing their love for each other on social media, and this vacation was no exception.

Kaley took to her Instagram Stories earlier this week to share a quick selfie that Tom snapped of the two of them as they enjoyed a sunny soak.

They both donned sunglasses and closed-mouth smiles for the pictures, but Kaley added some extra layers of sun protection and accessories to her look.

Sticking to a simple and classy black bikini, The Flight Attendant actress also wore a dainty necklace and a couple of similar bracelets and finished the look off with a sunhat complete with a blue ribbon.

Although her growing baby bump continues to take over her pictures, it’s clear that Kaley is still staying fit as her pregnancy progresses.

‘The White Lotus’ Season 2 Understands the Emptiness of the Instagram Vacation

Yes, ‘White Lotus’ Is Dragging Your Insta VacationFabio Lovino/HBO

A few months ago, I instagram” data-ylk=”slk:read a Vox story about” class=”link rapid-noclick-resp”read a Vox story about traveling to the “Instagram capital of the world,” Positano, that has haunted me ever since. After the writer Rebecca Jennings’ week-long trip to the Italian city, she wrote that the whole vacation left her feeling suckered, in part because she took basically the same vacation as everyone she follows on Instagram. Watching this season of The White Lotus, it’s clear the show not only understands the idea of the “Instagram vacation”—complete with recommendations from friends, Resy reservations, and Google review-based activities—but it also wants to call me out for it. And frankly, I deserve it.

Towards the beginning of season 2, episode 3, Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) is having a conversation with Albie (Adam DiMarco) about how boring life seems. “I’ve been feeling so depressed at home, and I just thought I’d come here and feel something…. And now you come somewhere like this and it’s beautiful and you take a picture and then realize that everyone’s taken that same picture from that exact same spot. You just made some redundant content for stupid Instagram.” And Albie responds with a half-hearted idea that even he doesn’t buy into: “Throw away your phone. Throw it in the ocean.” Notably, Portia continues to sit there and text on said phone, doing the literal opposite of throwing it in the ocean.

Later in the episode, there’s a scene with Daphne (Meghann Fahy) and Harper (Aubrey Plaza) that gets at this same idea in a different way. Daphne asks Harper to go on a day trip with her to a palazzo in Noto, but when they get there, Harper discovers they’re actually spending the

Using Social Media To Plan My Italy Trip Was A Great Choice

by Tracy J. Chu

This is an excerpt from Please Like Me, the BuzzFeed News newsletter about influencers and internet culture. You can sign up here. In our new column, Social Media Made Me Do It, we try a new trend, product, or tip from the feed.

I did the second-most-annoying thing you can do on Instagram besides fall in love: I went to Italy.

Everyone and their hard-launched partner has visited the Mediterranean country over the past few months, or at least that’s how my feed looks. In fact, Italy’s delicious pasta, wine, and views have ensured its popularity for literally thousands of years. Because of that ubiquity, trip planning is remarkably easy.

For years, I’ve been screenshotting and bookmarking everything I see about Italy on TikTok, Pinterest, and Instagram. In March, I finally broke open the vault and bookmarked the places I wanted to visit in Google Maps, then started booking accommodations around the bookmark clusters.

That’s how I ended up stopping in 13 different Italian destinations in 16 days on a chaotic vacation: Milan, Lake Como, Cinque Terre, Portofino, Venice, Bologna, italy“Verona, Florence, Siena, instagram.com/explore/search/keyword/?q=tuscany+italy”Tuscany, Rome, Naples, and the dreaded Positano. Bonus: Thanks to my sample-platter planning, we would leave before ever getting bored.
