A very smart ex-boyfriend of mine once told me that when you want to start incorporating something new into your life that feels like a burden, start by doing it in the most fancy, expensive way so that it doesnât feel like a punishment. At that time, it meant buying only Whole Foods groceries for myself so that Iâd make myself stay home and cook. Now Iâll cook whateverâs on sale or laying around. I used this for exercising too, starting at boutique classes and then graduating to free Youtube workouts. I hate flossing but I applied this mentality to trying to force myself to do it, and these flosses come in obnoxious DTC packaging and in shishi flavors like Cara Cara Orange and Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Making the flossing process a financial burden and a little bit more dynamic has improved my dental hygiene significantly.

Itâs rare for men to have je ne sais quoi, and I am obsessive about the ones who I think do. The depraved, roguish charm of Serge Gainsbourg has fascinated me for as long as I can remember, and so has Rod Serlingâs ability to careen between sinister and comforting. I already regret saying this in a public forum, but when I interviewed Larry Gagosian, I detected a lot of that nameless quality in himâprobably from his ability to self-efface freely with a fox-in-the-henhouse twinkle in his eye. Most recently, Iâve become completely enraptured by Gene Wilderâs peculiar energy, which ping-pongs irrationally between mellow yellow to tempestuous. The âPuttinâ On The Ritzâ scene in Young Frankenstein makes my heart swellâimagine that man, with those watery, cornflower blue eyes, describing you as âWhat was once an inarticulate mass of lifeless tissues, [who is now] a cultured, sophisticated, man about townâ...?

So many restaurants in New York give you amazing postcards at the end of your meal. A good lifehack for good free art is postcardsâI have several framed in my house (one I got from Dimes of ladybugs having sex and another of a Mike Kelley piece from the Whitney are my favorites). I like to share the wealth and send good ones to my friends and my mom. Perfect way to entertain a table after dinner is to pick someone to send a postcard to and actually drop it in a mailbox after the meal. Who doesnât love getting mail?

I understand why, but it's so strange to me that parts of the body go in and out of style. Lol. I know boobs are decidedly *out* right now but I love showing off my underboob during the dog days of summer with these Sandy Liang tops. Peak ventilation! Excuse me, sir, but my eyes are down there.
