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? Iām 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.

A restaurant around the corner from us started doing private dinners, and with my wifeās 30th birthday happening I asked to see what the process would be like. We packed 14 of our closest friends into this gorgeous, tiny little refurbished car garage filled with flowers and wine and Italian music and proceeded to have one of the best five course meals of my life. Moments like last night sort of get you in a āmaybe this is what life is all aboutā moods. Thereās an artist I like that said all of lifeās essence & purpose can be found in the sound of wine glasses clinging together at a table filled with good friends and good food. I think that nights like last night cement those sentiments as truth.

Do you really need to take up an entire table

Iāve 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 āif the first date isnāt a dinner date then he basically views you as a saloon whoreā or āunless you drop into your soft feminine energy, you deserve an entire life alone, you toothless witch.ā I donāt 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 āIf he wanted to, he would.ā 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 āsubtle ways to make him addicted to youā or āhow to become a high value woman who is a prize to be won.ā ENOUGH.

There is no higher high than spontaneously deciding to take a pair of dirty kitchen shears to a finger sectioned chunk of hair that youāre hastily holding between your eyes and just blindly cutting off an inch while your Uber driver waits for you outside. My motto is āhow bad could it look?ā Let go, let god. Iām so impatient when it comes to my appearance. You think Iām waiting for a professional to cut this hair when I literally need it cut right this moment or else Iāll die? No. Paying for a haircut might be a scam Iāve decided.

So Iāve been debating which is more annoying: including this pretentious literary magazine which I authentically love OR excluding it and going with a more ārelatableā choice. Performative relatability is my favorite thing to make fun of in my videos so I opted for the former! Iāve loved it since reading this piece (The Unravlers) by the amazing Stephanie Danler. Itās 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 āParisā which aids in my quest to appear chic and not from Idaho (which I am). And I said, āMichael, thatās absolutely ridiculous and also correct.ā
