Maybe I’ll have some cheeky tea magic. Maybe I will continue to spew word vomit. Who knows, it’s a fresh start! Likes: fashion, literature, music, birds and other creatures, pop culture, politics.
I just learned about how there are tourists who don’t like the singing frogs in Puerto Rico. If tourists ever got rid of the singing geckos in the Philippines, I’d be so pissed (I haven’t been in so long, pls tell me the geckos are still around). Leave these creatures alone.

Someone want to tell me what Brandi Carlile’s lapel pin is? I saw her wearing it on Fallon and SNL. It looks like a deer but also duck? What is it?

I am not a phone person, at least not like when I was a teen, but I’m glad I chose to pick up the phone today. I haven’t spoken to some of my east coast friends in a min. I’m back in NY (had been house/pup sitting in CA) and the calls helped me transition without having to rush out of the apartment.

My social media habit has slowed over the past few months. I recently signed onto TikTok and see discourse about NYC influencers “crashing out” because someone called them boring. TBH… I don’t know who any of these NYC influencers are. I just see topic relating to them.

I wouldn’t call myself a Gracie Abrams fan… but I feel maybe I could like her. She’s covering “Long December” during Fire Aid. (Also I need to remember to add this to my karaoke rotation).

I know Jenny Han is very much into producing and writing for TV, but I would love a new book. That or I need recs to fill the void.

I am not well versed with Chinese Astrology, and I can’t seem to find Sandy’s notes… what is the association of butterflies to snakes? The butterfly is Sandy Liang’s motif for her Lunar New Year collection.

Me: "Oh, no, this is going up immediately in my workroom."

Had a really bad night terror last night/this am… now terrified to sleep.

While hunting for my Mary-Kate and Ashley coffee table book (Influence) in my parents garage, I found stacks of old Teen Vogue and ElleGirl. They were my bibles!

Basically I only know French words because of my beauty products (this is an exaggeration but go with it)

After days of holiday-ing it out, feels nice to relax at home and watch an Adam Sandler movie 😅

The woman in my room is better than me. She warns everyone she’s wearing a mask for her safety, she’s not sick. Meanwhile I just walk on and let ppl assume.

I finished Real Americans by Rachel Khong. It was so satisfying and entertaining. I heard Ali Wong really loved it so keeping my fingers crossed she adapts it for a movie!

I have a lot thoughts about the current discourse on personal style, trends, social media influence, and perception. I have promised myself that I would bring those thoughts to Substack. I still intend to, but I can’t help but feel “late” as ppl rush to post disjointed ideas for the sake of the algo

Is it proper etiquette to share TikTok videos here, because I looove this. Didn’t realize there were fashion historians in Las Vegas. Would love to see more of showgirl costumes. Guess I need to check out this museum: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYkvW7ND/
Public History is honestly so much fun. These costumes were from a tour we took at the Nevada State Museum. The museum holds many of the cosutmes from the Folies Bergere show, which lasted an impressi...

I love it when I’m reading a book and discover inaccuracies. So far I’m enjoying “Real Americans” by Rachel Khong… but she has these kids flying Seattle-Newark and buying alcohol from a Duty Free. You can’t do that, there is an international travel requirement if you want to shop there.

I have been away from bsky for about a week and saw that I have a lot of new friends/followers. Hello to you all, nice to meet you! Hoping this app continues to be a breath of fresh air!

Cool - I’m 29! Almost a whole decade younger than the age I just turned 😅
Your real age is 70 minus the number of musicians you recognize playing at Coachella 2025

I’ve heard about people buying archival fashion pieces (or even regular secondhand designer) off social media instead of resell sites. How do I get to that community? Resell sites are a slog to scroll through.

I’m sorry… why is SNL doing another Domingo sketch so close to the Ariana episode?
