The Place to Buy Kurt Cobain’s Sweater and Truman Capote’s Ashes by Rachel Monroe for the New Yorker
More thoughtful than gruesome in regards to the literal consumption of celebrity IMO. As someone whose dream job is still "pop culture archivist," I ate this tf up

If there are two things my work is nothing without, they are my Newspapers.com subscription and my extensive collection of what I like to refer to as “pile of shit celebrity biographies.” There are a number of basic qualities that you should look for if you want to build a museum-worthy library of gossip: low print run , publishers you’ve never heard of, a relationship to The National Enquirer, and 20 point type. These books are usually written by deranged fans , disgruntled former associates , or alienated family members, and they are often accompanied by CDs that you will never listen to. Be careful not to get duped by the self-published literature that comes out in the immediate aftermath of a celebrity death: these books are often less than 20 pages long, and you are going to be disappointed! I’ve been had by these unscrupulous death scammers more than once and it always gives me a laugh, but beware the novice collector.

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.

Katharine Hepburn talks nonstop and Cary Grant wears glasses (and a feather boa trimmed robe) what more could anyone ever want !

Don’t get me wrong, I love a debaucherous night on the town into the early hours of a new day but I also love being home, face washed, teeth brushed, pjs on, in bed before midnight. I spent enough dollars, I drank enough, my social battery was used an appropriate amount, and now its time for me to reward myself for a job well done and to return to my habitat
