Can’t wait to settle in with a G&T and give that Rudolph Valentino & Natacha Rambova article a good read.
The McSweeney’s column made my day. Hilarious..and so true.
Hahaha loved it!
Love the links! Years and years ago on a Girls Weekend with some friends we decided to practice our synchronized swimming skills at our hotel pool (margaritas may have been consumed––it may have been late at night––the pool may have been closed for the evening) even though none of us had ever done any synchronized swimming, but we thought “how hard could it be?!” Amazing none of us drowned!!! I have major respect for the women who do actual synchronized swimming––powerful, artistic, creative athletes! Have a great weekend, everyone!!!
i thought that old Barneys location became that nice museum devoted to Himalayan art but maybe i’m off by a block or 2.. the thought of a Spirit shop being there is deeply depressing.
and agree w/ C.W. of course, your links are always the best.
Wasn’t it a Loehmann’s (RIP) for awhile?
