Oh my god. The most beautifully made and moving documentary. My friend and I bawled our eyes out watching it this weekend. It follows incarcerated men who have little or no connection with their daughters prepare for a ‘date with dad’. I didn’t know so many prisons in the states do not allow contact visits. Angela who runs the program is a saint. To have an event that they could connect at where the Dads could put a suit and tie on, the girls could dress up and enjoy their dads... how deeply it impacted them all, is heartbreaking to watch. It reminds you of the strength and importance of familial bonds and also the power of story. A new narrative in these relationships was the beginning of huge seismic shifts and future outcomes. It’s a must watch!

At the Lincoln Center Performing Arts Library you can watch almost any theatrical production performed in New York City since 1970. Due to union laws, you can only watch a production once and must stay in the library’s viewing cubicles. Recently, I watched John C. Riley and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Sam Shepard’s True West. If you love theater, do yourself a favor and spend an afternoon watching an old production. I love theater and want new plays. I am imagining a burgeoning playwright creeping into the library to watch Meryl Streep in “Mouther Courage and Her Children” and going on to write their own Mother Courage (and casting me).

What I love about nyc is the infinite amount of screenings there are for all types of movies — I think of it as an event more than anything! Feels way more fulfilling than just catching a film that just came out at an amc or whatever. The theaters r so much more intimate! And then you’ll watch happy together 1997 and the colors will be so beautiful n bright and you’ll cry and feel the same way someone did after seeing it 20+ years ago!

These vitamin sachets are the holy grail. I heard Robert Downey Jr takes them? They taste like cat shit so drink them with juice or coconut water but MY GOD it’s worth it. Saved me from getting sick or sped up recovery every single time... they truly have superpowers.

When I was preggers in the last month and didn’t really feel like seeing anyone I got obsessed with getting a bonsai tree. I found a number on Google and pulled up to a house in East Hollywood and a lady had a bunch of them locked up in her back garden. Felt super cool and mysterious. Some of them she’d had for 30 years. Fell in love with this guy and have become obsessed with pruning- does he not look so fab?!!
