A couple of years ago I married my best friend, the Gomez to my Morticia, and our first dance was to Elvis Presley’s Love Me. It’s very romantic and slow and sultry, and it carries a lot of meaning for me. But then we recently discovered a Glenn Danzig cover which is even more heartwrenching and crooning. In fact, the entire Danzig Elvis cover album is a moment.

If we had gotten married, Danny and I would have played these songs at our wedding, for sure. We used to play “Nobody Lives Without Love" from one of our phones and sing it together walking around Chinatown at like 3am. It was on the Batman Forever soundtrack but feels long lost. We liked the dramatic buildup and the sincere vocals, but lyrically, it might also crystalize something about our relationship and individual outlooks. It’s about giving yourself over to some recklessness—this can all go away, sure, but even if you think the pain wasn’t worth it, you can’t totally suppress a desire to love and live fast. Similarly, the sentiment expressed by “Life Of Surprises” is one to live and die by. Danny had a Prefab Sprout tattoo on his leg, and it wasn’t a logo or album art or anything, just the name in simple prison-style font, as in: the very concept of this band, their entire catalogue. When we’d listen to “Life Of Surprises,” he would turn to me and look into my eyes when he sang the lyric, “Never let your conscience be harmful to your health” and I’ll feel that forever now.

Every Valentine’s Day I ask everyone who follows me on Instagram their fave long song. Mine, for the record, is If I Were A Carpenter, the Four Tops version though Bob Dylan has a great cover with The Band. Recently I’ve been obsessed with Just Drifting by Psychic TV and think it’s one of the most romantic songs I’ve ever heard. Here is the responses I‘ve got:
I Love You Honeybear - Father John Misty
Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel
This Guy‘s In Love With You - Faith No More
Danger High Voltage - Electric Six
Do You Realize - Flaming Lips
Yard Of Blonde Girls - Inger Lorre
Dolls In The Dark - Drab Majesty
Surrender - Suicide
Laid - James
Love Song - The Cure
Our Way To Fall - Yo La Tengo
Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

She’s a naughty girl with a bad habit, a bad habit for slips. Peach, champagne, spearmint, aquamarine, bubblegum, midnight, whatever your poison, you can’t go wrong with a 1930s silk slip. Slither into that slinky boudoir mindset. You are a lounge lizard. Wear them barefoot in the summer or under a cardi with big boots and tights in cooler/ arctic months. Illisa’s Vintage Lingerie in NYC is the goat.

Prosciutto. Light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Pro-ciu-tt0. There’s something about a strip of glistening, rose-pink cured meat that I just can't seem to resist, a weakness that earned me the nickname ‘ham hands’ growing up. Which I don’t often share with people but here we are.

My son Reuben is obsessed with knights. He even sleeps in his chain mail and sometimes illegally wears it under his school uniform. For his 5th bday, we took him to Warwick Castle where we stayed in a knight’s cabin in the woods. We watched medieval knights joust, visited the dungeons where a bunch of unhinged actors demonstrated the lost art of leeching from the time of the Black Death, and then at night there was this dragon-slaying performance using fireworks, pyrotechnics and holographic lightning. Honestly, the best holiday I've ever been on.
