Monday. “Stop all this divagation!” I say, & in the ensuing confusion & googling, I make my escape.

Lust Month Icon, Day 12: Jacques De Bascher
a French dandy, a hedonist, and a troublemaker. Caught in a rivalry between Lagerfeld’s devotion and Saint Laurent’s desire, he loved beauty, parties, and chaos. His short life was a mix of glamour and temptation that everyone around him couldn’t resist

Walked by a guy, hunky, in gym clothes, with his bro, hunky, also in gym clothes, who said, in the most SoCal accent possible, “It’s not a kind of sitch where you normally RSVP but I don’t want to be rude so I’m going to fucking RSVP” & I hope this is a new Jane Austen project.

It reminds me of classic Chloé: draped & diaphanous. Love.

No one likes the fact that I capitalized one “pile” & not the other, but my blankets were afire.

I like to watch this a few times before I go to a party to really hype myself up.

Every day, at some point, the imaginary theatre lights around me dim & I deliver my stirring, “He shall not dominate my imagination…,” monologue & my friends try to act like they’re hearing it for the first time.

I totally imagine her saying this to all these tributes.

Thank you, Diane Keaton, for showing us a way.
