I wanted to get a vintage flip phone to use on my days off, and ended up discovering that 2G and 3G service is basically obsolete within the US. Luckily, I found a cute phone that runs on 4G and even made some cute trinkets for it. I leave my iPhone at home during my morning walks, and on my days off, Iām only on my burner. I thought I needed a vacation until I started using my flip phone - 10/10, would recommend.Why the flip phone? There are countless reasons. I think about this experiment often.

Back to basics if you need a detox, strictly limited to calls and texts. Way more durable, easier to fit in your pocket. Much more aesthetically pleasing and cool than iphone or android.
Should be at the forefront the same way vinyls are back on the menu.

I never hand one. But I always wanted one.
I had the LG phones you could slide up to type. But I always wanted to get a BlackBerry or a Sidekick. They looked sooooo cool.
Now I debate on getting a flip phone to unplugged completely, but TikTok has got a tight grip on me.

Over the last six or so months I have fully embraced the world of pre-digital technology. I communicate with friends and family over the world mainly via letters I type out on my Silver-Reed SR 180 DeLuxe and I currently yearn for a rotary phone. In the Information Age, there is something so intrinsically charming about using the innovations of yesterday that now mostly lie by the wayside. I am sure that in many ways my love of the analogue world is predominantly superficial but I think that is OK.

Leisure Centre is a vintage shop on Hester Street in the Lower East Side. Frank, the owner, is a really cool, interesting dude - and his shop reflects that. Itās impossible to walk in there and not find something you like. Itās well-curated and well-priced; everything is a steal. I do damage every time I visitā¦ my wardrobe is slowly turning into only pieces Iāve found here.

Not sure why I didnāt learn how to do this earlier. My music taste slaps - it feels like Iāve spent my entire life compiling an extensive music library, and itās finally getting put to good use, gracing more than just the ears of me and my friends. Youāre welcome.

Didnāt think Iād ever be cool with āoutside pantsā in my bed, but here we are. Kind of fun to be a rockstar about it, and the t-shirt additions to my wardrobe are a plus. Not sure what I expected - Iām dating Nick Hadad, after all.
