    Valentine's Day Special! (Maybe the more I do this, the better I'll get?) I got slapped with a dating-forward ad from MoMA this morning, got slightly unhinged explaining the most toxic thing you can say to someone, I explain why I've faked relationships to socialize better, we need to normalize loving being single and not having a pet, the reasons you never have or ever will catch me on a dating app, and why I love objects more than living things.

    I'm pre-coffee—don't judge! Been putting off recording because doing this solo feels odd, but I can't trust anyone to co-host, so here we are! It's my favorite day of the year (Friday the 13th) and I have takes on Bad Bunny's bush (people), Levi's misreading the moment at the Superbowl, ice skaters giving Disney adult with their stuffed toys, a cultural take on Lindsay Vonn's accident, the winter hair and skin care routine, NYFW, why I'm mad at Michael Kors and Coach, and thoughts on the Marc Jacobs, Rachel Scott's first collection for Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch shows.

    Fanny Damiette

    Recorded in 2025, Fanny Damiette joined me from Paris. We discussed burnout, leaving our corporate careers, searching for more aligned ways of being, fasting, tapping into intuition, using Human Design/Astrology, feeling the pull of creativity, George W. Bush becoming a painter, AI, universal basic income, consciousness, humanity’s greatest strengths, and forecasting societal changes.

    PLAYLAB, INC.

    Recorded in early Spring 2025, I spoke with founders Archie Lee Coates IV and Jeff Franklin on meeting at Virginia Tech, starting out, their work process/philosophy, moving from New York to Los Angeles, + Pool, working with Virgil Abloh, and what their next chapter looks like as they celebrate an anniversary.

    It's the first episode, and I don't know what I'm doing. I talk about why I'm starting this (and why this isn't a Substack), explain the title (shoutout to Anton Newcombe and The Brian Jonestown Massacre), being in the mid-Hudson Valley during the winter, someone needs to check on the staff at New York Mag, why isn't there bar-chat etiquette, AI and Google Maps have gotten shockingly bad, the Milano Cortina opening ceremony, Nike's #eagleskirt, my issues with Ralph Lauren for Team USA / Ben Sherman for Team GB, and ideas for an epic LA 2028.
