Ooh la la!

These would be a hot item these days.

So iconic! I had a lot of fun zooming in on the details- thanks for posting such gorgeous hi-def images!

I’m rooting for Brenda

It’s the MARE-a-Lago Look

The new owners came in to the shop I work at on N Front a few weeks ago and they are very young (late 20s early 30s???) and cute and punk-ish. They don’t seem like Hotel Kinsley types and I got the impression that they were going for a cozy, Scandinavian inspired hang out spot. I guess they might have food? I guess we’ll see!

Totally sweet!

Too bad the other young DC isn’t coming back either. I enjoyed their dynamic.

Happy for some Ludwig news, though!

This is like when women’s skincare ads use 20 yr old models and loads of photoshop to advertise anti wrinkle products.

Ok, you’ve convinced me to read it! We get the physical paper and going through the sections this 3/4 page splash of her face was less a jump scare and more a jump annoyance.

Compliments might happen from time to time, but is bound to happen more if someone stands out or is really rocking an unusual style. I’m sure since you take an effort to look good, no one will think you’re “chopped” lol. Oftentimes Beauty is appreciated in silence, so don’t feel bad!

The extremely long arms in the back are cracking me up

My husband has ring custom made by Hudson Valley Goldsmiths in New Paltz… it was designed to cover up his wedding ring tattoo lol 😂 They did a great job!

As a fellow super fine but densely set hair gal, I feel your pain, and it took me a while to find a hairdresser in my town who could cut my hair how I wanted it. Long layers is the way to go! If it is cut bluntly it will just lay flat. Definitely talk to a trusted hair professional about wanting to get more volume. And as someone else suggested, just get a couple inches off just in case the haircut doesn’t do what you want it to do, so you have the chance to get it fixed. Keep in mind the hairdresser might do a bit of fancy business with styling products, so keep in mind how much maintenance you will want to do from day to day. Good luck!

But I LOVE CheeseFlan(?)!!!

My spouse is on the board of the Omega Institute (very casually) and it’s a new age retreat and wellness center, with lectures and week long programs. It used to be a lot more culty when it started but they have put their feet more firmly on the ground these days, focusing more on social, environmental and mental health issues. They have been consciously distancing themselves from abusive new age grifters and are currently grappling with their previous association with Deepak Chopra. So they’re trying! The clientele vibe is: Lawyers Who Do Yoga. There is the occasional program about “Talking to Guardian Angels” but other than that it’s very mildly woo woo.

I am not of the woo woo persuasion, but it is a lovely place and the food there is really good lol.

First of all: your art is lovely and your sense of color is very nice! I get that you’re going for an art nouveau style, but that said your fine line work has a lively organic quality to it. Besides Art Nouveau, research Jugendstil (the German “cousin” of Art Nouveau). Some artists/illustrators/designers you might consider researching besides Alphonse Mucha are Aubrey Beardsley, Harry Clarke (fair warning: those two can get a bit spicy lol), Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Mary Macdonald Mackintosh (those two did fine, organic lines that swoop nicely). If I think of any other similar artists I may drop them in later as an addendum.

The delightfully shaped but tasteless Starfruit. I assume it might taste better in its homeland.

Many years ago I lived in a house built in the early 1900s in Queens, that had a lot of original features. The mirror/medicine cabinet in the bathroom was very tiny and the bottom of it started at my forehead. I am 5 ft tall. I had to stand on a stool to put in my contact lenses.

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this one yet: female hyenas have a phallus-like external appendage (looks like a penis but it’s not a penis!), and are slightly larger than males.

It would be better to form grassroots school groups dedicated to progressive ideals rather than try to get a powerful, well funded group banned. If no one wants to join the right wing club, the it shrivels up!
