I met Becky in middle school in Atlanta. She was instantly popular, I was a mixed up little wallflower. Still though, we clicked, and when she moved away during high school, we became pen pals. Fast forward to 2015 and Iâm living on her couch in Nolita and weâre both doing some of our first internships in media at *lowers voice* Viceâme at the art section, her in the food section. Weâd walk across the bridge to the office together every day. Around this time is when we somehow found ourselves on a Twitch stream with Martin Skhreli and he called us the Moron Twins. 7 years later, people still call us that. I love Becky so much that I call her my dogâs name, and I call my dog Becky. Itâs the same kind of unconditional love and instant happiness upon seeing her, like a puppy dog. Get you a best friend like Becky.

Anna and I have been friends since we started university three years ago and we have just gotten closer and closer everyday.
We are both the horniest genderqueers you will ever meet and are always on the look out for cute queer people to get dreamy over and giggle. We are very reliable companions, braving The Horrorsâ˘ď¸ together every single day. My life would be impossible without Anna.
Anna is a business boy ironically. Like, they are Patrick Bateman with pronouns. Anna is EXTREMELY BASED and knows a shit ton about politival history everywhere almost. Theyâve also been queer for forever, so they know a lot about that too and have taught me a lot about being queer.
Anna is also really funny, really smart, really kind, full of love to give, very considerate, very stylish, and very driven. They are a blessing to have in my life and I think everyone need an Anna. We are such an iconic duo.

I recommend Oliver Levitt, Gabe Wells, AJ Marcus, Ezra Miller, and Caleb Miller. Some of the best people I know. Our fatal flaw? Our original sin? We like each other too much. Truly, madly, deeply. We love hanging out, foreal. Theyâre very much a centering force in my life and I would be lost without them.

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...?

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.

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?
