During covid, in the 6th arr. in Paris, a woman who used to own a childrenâs store opened a curiosity shop called La Boutique Fantasque. A few weeks ago, I stopped by and bought an ornamental cricket cage and a few yards of fabric with horses printed all over it. (Apparently itâs good luck to trap a single cricket and keep it in your kitchen.) She also sells specialty Christmas ornaments. Her instagram doesnât really capture what sheâs doing, I recommend visiting in person. If you email in advance, sheâll have a friend come translate for you. And while in Paris⊠why donât you have dinner with Donatien Grau, who works at the Musee dâOrsay, at Voltaire, which is across from the Musee dâOrsay. Heâs a local and itâs a localsâ restaurant, the only kind of restaurant I like. Heâll force you to order this salad he invented, itâs disgustingâsalmon, uncooked mushrooms, avocado, slathered in some mystery white cream sauceâhighly recommend the experience.

I thought Labi Saffre was a woman, heâs not. Nice quality in a singer. Anyway, these are two of the best love songs ever written. I first heard Youâre Lovely on repeat on mushrooms. Itâs :32 seconds. I recommend the experience.

Henry makes a lot of low key insufferable navel-gazey films that I really enjoy. Last Summer in the Hamptons (1995) is his best. A matriarch presides over her family, who are all somehow involved in the theatre. It makes you wish you grew up with intellectuals in a house by the sea. Eating: A Very Serious Comedy about Women and Food is so annoying, itâs just women saying theyâre fat at a party in Los Angeles, but my friend and his wife have the poster in their dining room, and itâs a great poster, I recommend getting it. Heâs alive, Henry is, my translator friend knows him, sheâs his muse, though sheâs turned the camera back on him, her documentary on him needs a place to screen, if youâre a gallerist, get in touch. Support living artists!

My two favorite living American writers â Fanny Howe and Mary Robison â both named female characters Money. Fanny imagined it was long for âMona,â Mary, that it was short for âMonica.â I will be naming my child Money Phillips, no middle name. Anyway, you should read their books. (I have a lot of ready demands on whatever partner is dumb enough to procreate with me. Like, whoever has a child with me will have to drive me to a random hospital across the stateline into Montana in my third trimester, because I need my child to be a fifth generation Montanan. Itâs a great source of anxiety to me that my dad lied to me growing up and said I was fifth generation. I was fourth.)
