This queen had the wackiest taste (in the best way). One of my favorite eras in art, people were just doing shit for the sake of it. A hat that is a shoe. A hat that's made of gloves. A gigantic cockroach brooch. Elsa was crazy for that one!!!

My friend Carly Mark is a genius artist, making work about the female gaze, body horror and conspicuous consumption. But now you can conspicuously consume Puppets and Puppets, the high meets low endless design experiment she’s running like it’s Gucci in the Tom Ford era only EVERYONE is invited. Gender, size- she’s blowing up all the binaries of fashion. It ain’t cheap, but the prices reflect couture level production, fascinating fabrics and playfully sinister details (a demure Mary Jane with a wooden wedge of cheese for a heel, a chic little purse with a resin black and white cookie slapped on its front in place of logo hardware.) This is high fashion for the kid who liked to layer macaroni necklaces, for the former Emily The Strange who now works in branding, for any person who wants to add “art witch” to their resume. Carly has made me a few dresses and whenever I wear them, I feel like I can change the world with the power embedded in the layered skirts. It’s also so genderfluid that my husband can (and does) steal.

This shit. This shit bangs. So this guy, if you don’t know who he is, he made those crazy fucking alien looking freak shoes for Lady Gaga in the “Bad Romance” MV. He was cooking. The top half of this? Microscope slides dyed red. the bottom half? OSTRICH FEATHERS. Apparently it sounded like chimes when you walked because, like, you’re slapping a bunch of little glass slides together. I wouldn’t know, I’m not Bjork so like I haven’t worn this thing (she has in fact worn this thing).

I've been kinda obsessed with this album This Could Be Texas by English Teacher recently. Something about angsty british people singing over lush instrumentals just hits every time. If this is your vibe, the song 7 Seconds by Porridge Radio is a good jumping point.

Ok corny self-aggrandizing post incoming. I started transitioning this year. I've known I was trans since 2019 but was too scared to do anything about it (lived in a red state) and have been taking miniscule, tiny, baby steps to get little tastes of validation and living off of those crumbs. This year something switched in my brain and I finally pulled the trigger and started hormones, got a trans-focused therapist, joined a support group, really leaned in. It goes against all of the self-preservation instincts I've developed my whole life, but I feel... great? I felt like time was going in fast-forward for the past several years and now I feel like I have all the time in the world. Anyway, TLDR I guess, finally took the big leap I was terrified to take and made my life way better.
