Good morning!
The first time I read a David Sedaris book was in 2013. I picked up Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls at an airport in what would be my first solo trip to Portugal and Spain. Ever since reading that book, I’ve been enamoured with his work ever since.
On Friday March 25, I met the gayest man in the literary world. He’s even a boomer.
As for Alyssa’s book, well, I may have given him too much fodder for the outcome of her signing. At least he knows you are a landscape architect. And then I took the subway home at midnight and made it home just before 1AM.
Homosexual Agenda
Lykke Li has a new song: No Hotel. Lykke Li is releasing a new album: Eyeye (pronounced “eye”). Lykke Li is going on tour. Lykke Li can take my life savings and I am okay with it.
With Her New Album EYEYE, Lykke Li Is Closing the Chapter on Heartbreak at Vogue. “I’m always slightly unhappy about my work. I always feel like I start with this pounding heart and trying to capture whatever it is I’m feeling, and then a lot of the time, it just gets lost in the process. So I really have this grand ambition to nail it for myself and only for myself—to make something that I would actually be proud of.”
We finally get to meet, Rebecca Grice, the stylist behind Haim, Maya Rudolph, Aidy Bryant and Maya Erskine. I only wish for the piece to be longer and more in depth, but I take what I can get. The Funny Woman’s Stylist for The New York Times.
Fender’s Player Plus Sessions featuring Japanese Breakfast. That album, as they say, is a bop!
Fine Ingredients with Kogonada & Michelle Zauner at The A24 Podcast. Really good subjects discussed: on being Asian, climbing the corporate ladder (or lack thereof) and just putting your art out there, whether great, lukewarm or bad (like what I am doing with this newsletter!)
Can Diamonds Made In A Lab Replace Natural Ones? from Business Insider. Honestly, I see no value in diamonds and its perceived worth. However, if you give me a diamond I will happily trade it in for a cash.
Nobody wants more crappy videos on Instagram. Too bad. for Vox. As the great philosopher Mitski would say, “Nobody, nobody, nobody, Nobody, nobody Ooh, nobody, nobody, nobody.”
Wealthy gay gen x dads are moving to Brooklyn! Cobble Hill to be exact. A Family Is Delighted, and a Bit Surprised, to Move to Brooklyn at The New York Times. The interior design is really, really ugly. This is what happens when you start having children. The kitchen is really nice and has a lot of potential, but unfortunately there’s so much clutter. Gay dads get your shit together. You have a nanny!
That staircase is giving me art gallery vibes, but for the home in a good way, you know? The oakwood floors with black trimmed windows is a classic. I am not loving the design of the kitchen, but if I lived there, I would have intergenerational wealth and would renovate it. It’s the gold accents and black backsplash/counter. I would also change the interior design, those chairs look/feel really cumbersome. A Neo-Moderne Reinvention of a Derelict Village House, Abandoned for 10 Years at Curbed.
Behind the Scenes of Severance’s ‘Very Creepy’ Office Dance Party at Vulture. “We wanted more and more stylistic juxtaposition: something that seems really, really nice and beautiful next to something that’s horrifying and scary.” I, too, 100% would choose Defiant Jazz.
Give a basic suburban woman designer furniture and you have Ashley Tisdale’s home on Architectural Digest. The pieces are really, really good. Starting with the Mario Bellini sofa to the Noguchi floor lamp. Why is everything described as “quirky”, Ashley? Don’t even get me started with the hearts that she got from her favourite hotel in Cabo. FUCK!
Do you want more/less/none of design content?
Perry
"This is what happens when we start having kids" HAH
I like those chunky chairs. More design content, although I am very biased!
Okay. So. Last night I had a vision of what the perfect first home would be. I described it to Jash this morning. It had white walls, huge floor to ceiling windows (curved at the top) with black finishes. The curve would extend within the home to other entryways etc.
I told her I would manifest this home, I had a feeling.
I just read #9 on your agenda - Im speechless but also do I need to say more?
