Death Note

Growing up Mormon in the 80s, we watched a whole lot of The Man From Snowy River, at every other church function, so going to guess that counts
Snowfall would be the one to look at in re charm + smarts + flashes of an underlying current of menace

Peak social media
The Brooklyn musician community you could create just by finding musicians you loved & messaging them to come to hootenannies
Aw man
& Gerard Manley Hopkin’s Windhover
provided I’m sober
the others stick in any state
First lines of Canterbury Tales

Behind the scenes at a midtown NYC fashion photo shoot, lovely model Hilary looks at her phone, reflected in the window that is backlighting her.
“People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.”
That the NSA came up with the conspiracy theory that the CUA/mob assassinated JFK because they didn’t want the masses to realize one lone weirdo did in fact kill the president
Have you had Turkey & Wolf’s Collard Melt in New Orleans? Takes a Reuben approach to layered collards & slaw. Best collards I’ve ever had, somehow with zero pork.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work
“Long neck, shoulders down!“
Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.
The phenomenology of white supremacy laid bare
is the aesthetic goal here Terry Richardson outtakes?
Our little movie club watched a double feature of No Way Out & The Big Clock a couple of months ago & made stingers in honor of a key clue in the latter.
No redeeming features. Vile.
Evidently before Prohibition they were posh, but then became popular to cover up the taste of terrible brandy.
A beautiful, heartbreaking anthem about family separation
Never fails to give me goosebumps
Hard not to yell out the chorus by the end

Came here to say this. The most deeply cynical manipulation I’ve ever seen pass itself off as sentimental.
Ingenue Catherine Deneuve, in a lemon yellow cardigan, hair half up & tied with a black velvet ribbon, smiles & waves through the window of an umbrella store to a beau we can’t see.
A couple kisses in an alleyway, walls painted in acid pastels: grass green, hot pink, taxicab yellow.
A despondent angel in white on white bedding, her mother in a pink-striped robe fails to console her. Striped floral wallpaper in a Virgin Mary blue dominated the scene.
Epilogue: our teenage couple are now parents but married to other people. They cross paths at a gas station at Christmas. Snow spatters the scene.
Four stills from a film you consider a masterpiece. No title.

Lastly, because your bio says you’re a horse girl
Sent a decant to a childhood friend who grew up on horses & she texted me all caps for days after she got it

This is a great sample set meant to evoke vintage classics. A lot of natural materials & powerful fougeres, which it sounds like we both dig

Bummer, looks like they’re not shipping directly to the US at all anymore, but can still get samples for now at Luckyscent
Would start with these:
Tabac Tabou
Wazamba
Fougere Bengale

If you want the most wood that has ever wooded, try a sample of this
Meant to evoke a 19th C luthier’s workshop but to be it’s pure 80s ballet studio nostalgia (w a pile of rosin in the corner)

Rumors that this one has been reformulated, but if you like your woody tobacco a bit feral…

O hey, me too! So many thoughts.
First off, anything by Parfum d’Empire is divinely crafted & impeccably chic. They used to have the best sample pack in niche (20 euros for 5x2ml, free shipping, that counted towards a full bottle) but unsure if tariffs have nixed
