A well washed pair of plaid Fruit of the Loom boxer shorts is a hot look. Very “Roseanne” and very NOW. I buy mine at Dave’s, but you can get them wherever i guess.

Red Bull is amazing. The last time i went dancing i drank a dozen of them. Each one was flawless. I wish I had invented Red Bull. Original is great, but I usually go with Diet.

Mary Magdalene tore the Middle Ages UP with her luscious thick wavy hair that she grew to the ground and styled in various ways as her outfit. Sometimes Mary wore a belt to accentuate her waist, sometimes she just let it all flow free. It always worked. I fell for Middle Ages Mary when I visited the Sistine Chapel museum, a magical place. A LOOK TO TRY!

Patato Latkes are iconic. A Hanukkah delicacy. Theyre really hard to make and can often be a disaster, but I recommend them passionately. My mom makes them really well. Eat them with sour cream and applesauce. HOT!

Are you a true crime fanatic? If so, I recommend The Killing Season, a docuseries about LISK aka Long Island Serial Killer. Everything about LISK is a total freak out: the (unsolved) decades long killing spree, the lying doctor faking a heart attack in the parking lot, the cop with the dildos in the car, the belt with the initials on it, everything Shannan Gilbert, etc. I have more to say and wrote it all down here but I erased it to keep from getting whacked. PS what do YOU think happened to Shannan? Murder by the beach, or accidental death by the elements?!

In the 1971 film Klute, life has call girl Bree Daniels (Jane Fonda) spiraling hard, so she jumps out of a moving car and runs to the after hours club, as one does. The place is popping, the Ann Roth costumes are perfect and as “Bree’s Abandon (Take It Higher)” blasts through the club, our heroine’s mood is dark. She makes out, falls down, hugs Candy Darling, finds her old pimp Frank (Roy Schneider!) and just lets her chaos flow. Bree’s shag haircut is one of the most important haircuts of the twentieth century and as it gets sweatier, shaggier and more incredible as the scene progresses, we witness Jane snatch that first Oscar win DOWN!

In the nineties, Smylonylon was an incredible universe on Lafayette between Spring and Broome that sold deadstock seventies clothes and mixtapes by the DJ Alex Gloor. My favorite store ever. Smylonylon’s influence on fashion endures, and if you know you know. Long ago a great guy on the internet converted my Smylon tapes to MP3, and I’m down to trade mixes with other collectors. Im especially looking for Smylonylon 17, 20 and 25. I have Smylonylon 1, 4, 6, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 28 and 29, as well as Arkle & Sparkle and tynynyny 1 & 2. If anyone knows what I’m talking about, DM me.
