Things That Make Us Love July

40th anniversary of the first moonwalk (July 21). Neil Armstrong's, not Michael Jackson's.

National Nude Day (July 14).

Also Bastille Day. La coincidence?

BBQs and fireworks (July 4). The one day it's OK to crack a Bud Light at 11 a.m.

For National Cheesecake Day (July 30), the Cheesecake Factory unveils a red-velvet version and donates 25 cents from each slice to a food bank. Chow down—Nude Day already happened.

Fine-arts painter Wayne White's new book, Maybe Now I'll Get the Respect I So Richly Deserve, edited by Todd Oldham (July 1). Buy it, and your cute, arty neighbor will give you the respect you so richly deserve.

Cartier's fabulous new sunglasses line. The only accessory you need on Nude Day.

Nine West's new Vintage America line, inspired by the Gold Rush. Vintage is the new new.

Bath & Body Works's new American Grown body washes, with scents like Washington Apple and Napa Grape. No plans yet for Wisconsin Cheddar.

Major League Baseball's All-Star Game (July 14). If your guy's team wins, you might get to third base.

Jennifer Lopez turns 40 (July 24). And still caliente!

Loose, imperfect finger waves, as seen on the Proenza Schouler runway. Now it will only take you 40 minutes to look low-maintenance.

The Y.E.K. Market Tote ($32; global goodspartners.com), made from Cambodian rice bags, to benefit land-mine survivors. Wow the checkout guy at Whole Foods.

Abigail

Abigail Pesta is a journalist who has lived and worked around the world, from London to Hong Kong. A highlight from her travels: bar-hopping in Shanghai with a minor-league Mafioso in his hearse-like limo. A lowlight: getting attacked in Cambodia by swarms of flying cockroaches, each one the size of your thumb. She writes short-short stories for her website, Fine Words Butter No Parsnips (butternoparsnips.com)

Lauren

Lauren is the articles editor at Marie Claire. She loves to obsess over politics, play soccer, and watch movies, not necessarily in that order. She can't imagine any human interaction that wouldn't be improved with a line from The Simpsons or Rushmore. She saved Latin - what did you ever do?

Jessica

As Associate editor of the Radar section, I obsess daily over movies, television, celebrities and music. A southern girl at heart and Brooklyn by address, my skill set also extends into witty asides, vintage shopping, planning themed parties, brunching, entertaining, applying eyeliner, dancing, concocting bourbon mint iced tea, gift giving, movie quoting, coffee drinking and Elvis spotting. I love conversations that begin with "remember the time...", am still paying off my student loans (and then some), and have fallen madly in love - with my DVR.
