james had his finger on the pulse. i was first introduced to him via Sunny's Blues. what does it mean to be an artist nowadays?
is it this feeling of the ice in your veins? ice that's starting to melt because you feel the passion of your work, of your dreams?
i really liked Giovanni's Room... i think we all had that lover that we kept quiet in a room somewhere. maybe if the world knew of this love it would become tainted in a way. the vulnerability of this short but sweet book. if you have to hide your love ~ is it love?
pour one out for james.

Short and enthralling, with prose that is both breezy and profound and a simple yet confounding story. It’s like a snapshot of someone’s heart. I think the scenery and emotion of this book brought about a natural and gorgeous visualization of the story, which is wonderful to experience.

I’m not sure how accurate this is to what you’re looking for, but Giovanni’s room definitely has an atmosphere of heartbreaking romance, jazzy, floaty summers and swooning emotion 🫶🏽

Growing up my mom always said "always have your mini skirt and high heel boots ready."
Rewatching The Nanny I see where she may have gotten it from.
Fran Drescher is a timeless style icon. A sexy appeal that wasn't too much in your face and yet still possesed that allure.

Film needs to make a comeback. Dark rooms, chemicals, film reels.
I know polaroids are common nowadays but lets bring back disposable cameras, 35mm pocket cams, kodak developing centers at cvs.
(Polaroid I took at a photoshoot 5 years ago.)
