it's world postcard day -- so a little #Penpalooza pop-up. i'll open my DMs for the next 30. if you send an address i'll have someone send you a postcard and give you someone to send one to.
the last time we did this about 400 people sent postcards! i am a postcard booster and this makes me so glad to see
i know its later on a friday so i will leave them open for a bit longer...
also as ever you dont get a 1:1 match so if you want to start an ongoing exchange put your return address on your postcard when you send out!

now that the french dispatch is (semi)out in the world and tilda's (semi)portrayal of rosamund bernier is out there i cannot recommend enough reading bernier's memoir amazon.com/Some-My-Lives-…
it's such a weird piece of writing! sort of like an art diary meets who-i-banged meets european travel guide meets college lecture and also fashion magazine???? it's very good for fall because it's all about crisp seduction and seasonal affairs
also what you will see in the film is tilda giving a museum lecture like bernier did for decades (rosamund was never really a features writer, so that part of tilda's character is a composite of other women). her met lectures are so worth watching: nytimes.com/video/arts/119…
the people have spoken so it’s time for your quarterly madcap on a budget suggestions: what is the ONE thing you would tell someone to buy to gild or enhance -- even SLIGHTLY -- their life that costs $25 or under. i'm talking something frivolous and silly but that brings you joy
my contributions for this round: a fancy watering can, marble enamel mugs, witch baby bath bombs, copper straws, and that Laniege lip mask
also brins jam, preferably the lemon saffron marmalade, and the Trader Joe’s lemon creme baton cookies that are like creamsicle pirouline and cost $4 but taste like 20
I’ve been watching our way through the New York series on criterion, and got to the out of towners last night and oh my god what a movie
How are more people not talking about how Sandy Dennis is one of the best that ever did it
When she runs through central park holding a box of Cracker Jack wearing Jack Lemmon’s shoes trying to escape a great Dane… It was then that she carried me
you cannot deny that olivia going to the white house looks like a promo poster for a 2004 rom com called Heart of State about the first daughter who (whoops!) falls for a hunk who works in the rose garden during his summers off from college and they are star-crossed
at first, they hate each other! she's studying to get into georgetown! he rides a motorcycle! she's a priss! he's a rebel! but then, one night, as it turns out, he learns that she is a rebel too. climbing down a trellis? changing into a miniskirt? she does it all.
he's like "let me show you MY dc" and they have a wild night of dancing and going to all night restaurants and then she's like let me show you MY dc and you think she's going to take him to a fancy thing on the hill but really she takes him to...a skate park
Officially studying to get my nyc tourguide license 😬
My dream is to lead extremely wacky tours with names like “Horny 1920s Bonanza” and “Places Notable New Yorkers Probably Cried” & I hope you’ll join me one day
the #1 reason that I have longed to become a New York City tour guide was watching the cruise and if you haven’t done that you must
