Bruce labruce’s instagram

my favourite account of all time. Libidinal hot takes and celebrity birthdays. Running list of celebs BOTD along with a quick rundown of any notable or horny trivia. BLAB is a cinephile with an immaculate sense of taste and humour, a holy trinity rarer than you might think. I often watch whatever film he’s recommending in the birthday posts and I’m never disappointed.

Read

Read this Rick Owens interview for Vestoj from 2016. It’s vulnerable and raw and full of wisdom. Including this nugget: “You know, the interior designer Jean-Michel Frank had forty identical grey flannel suits in his closet: I always thought that was the height of modesty and extravagance at the same time. I love that.” Also, I thoroughly enjoyed Chloe Wise’s new book published by Almine Rech showcasing her works that use food and the female figure as an exploration of desire, consumerism, and…. sex, lies, and videotape.

the deep lore of erewhon

Erewhon is currently strictly a SoCal thing but its history (as told in this brilliant article from last year by Kerry Howley) is truly mindbending — from postwar Japan to Boston-area macrobiotics to literally one visionary smoothie shaman named "Truth" to posh corporate Instagram sensation

Having An Extremely Informal Dating Life

I’ve been single for a year and a half now and have recently had a massive breakthrough with it all. I spent a while deeply brainwashed by the horrific dating advice on Tik Tok which stipulates things like “if the first date isn’t a dinner date then he basically views you as a saloon whore” or “unless you drop into your soft feminine energy, you deserve an entire life alone, you toothless witch.” I don’t want to do either of those things. What the fuck is soft feminine energy? I want to focus on work and make videos that make people laugh and write and spend time with friends and eat and drink wine (see above) without being haunted by the viral refrain “If he wanted to, he would.” Who cares? I like meeting guys out and about! Maybe grabbing drinks. Having crushes. Flirting. Enjoying them. But I will never again sit through a Tik Tok titled “subtle ways to make him addicted to you” or “how to become a high value woman who is a prize to be won.” ENOUGH.

The Paris Review

So I’ve been debating which is more annoying: including this pretentious literary magazine which I authentically love OR excluding it and going with a more “relatable” choice. Performative relatability is my favorite thing to make fun of in my videos so I opted for the former! I’ve loved it since reading this piece (The Unravlers) by the amazing Stephanie Danler. It’s impossible to love the Paris Review without getting shit on for it though. My friend Rebecca saw it peeking out of my purse when we were getting drinks recently and accused me of planting it. My other friend, Michael, accused me of only liking it because it contains the word “Paris” which aids in my quest to appear chic and not from Idaho (which I am). And I said, “Michael, that’s absolutely ridiculous and also correct.”

Table Linens

I am a devout lover and regular hostess of dinner parties. I recently invested in a massive dinner table that fits twelve people. As I inch towards my thirties I am becoming obsessed with table linens. How many readers did I just lose? I’m a huge fan of Laura Jackson (designer, professional hostess) who describes the love of tablescaping so perfectly in this vibey little video. For my last dinner party I actually went to the fabric district in downtown LA and picked out my own linens and MADE a runner, placements and napkins. It was extremely expensive and time consuming and dare I say not worth it. But, hey, now I have my very own, one-of-a-kind, humble little linens. These details are just for me and I acknowledge no one else gives a shit.
