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!
If you like going to the movies and have a selection of AMCs near you it’s an unbelievably good deal. Even at my most destitute I have refused to cancel this membership because it’s basically a free activity anytime and a fun little date with myself. 3 movies a week for $25/month??? I will never shut up about this.
i live laugh love going to the movies, and having my regal unlimited membership makes it sooooo much more financially feasible! plus i love rewatching movies and being able to see an unlimited amount of movies for a flat rate a month is so unbelievably worth it to me. if i had an amc near me i would be an amc a-lister for sureeee! we gotta keep movie theaters alive it's like one of my favorite places <3
This website is run and curated by my friend Mary Louise who has the most impeccable taste and there is always a rare extraordinary short or documentary on there every week. They work with Chanel, so chic, and it’s all for free!
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?!!
This is currently my ideal night in. After Andy, Cookie Meuller’s collected stories by Olivia Laing, the Whitney review I got to read Alissa Bennet and Mary Gaitskill’s interview, Liz Phair’s memoir are what’s on the docket at the moment.
