I got a new mirror, and it’s full-length, so I’ve embarked on a really retro-feeling mirror photo spree as if I didn’t know there was already an entire hashtag dedicated to this sort of behavior. I mean, wtf not? Being your own photographer requires a little bit of a regression. Is it deplorable? Maybe. Do I need a record of this blur of a month, though? Yes. Above—fueling up with a Pacifico before attending a political rally, for whom I cannot reveal. Let’s keep it a-political here, guys.
BUT… this is a Karen Zambos dress which I’m pretty sure is the first thing I ever ordered from Shopbop? Like, a relic, right? I popped it over a t-shirt and put on my favorite Austin Powers boots and stomped around in the crowd unable to see over anyone’s heads. But I got a lot of compliments. (Priorities.)
If my energy were a pie, every slice has gone toward work or going out every single night since September 1. I’m not sure how I’m still standing up or even typing, but I am. It’s a good pie. Good job, pie. Above, documenting Eli noting that the clock had just hit 5PM. But, Eli, we work on PST. Bite down.
Pre-dinner with a pal—Mexican food. I got my 500th LNA t-shirt (pictured) and it seemed like the last viable night to wear shorts. I had two margaritas then backed up onto a curb. Nothing to see here, guys.
Now the nights are starting to run together. This was a pretty rad Small Black concert. I’ve been listening to them for years, with a distinct memory of playing side B of their Vinyl Record “Limits of Desire” repeatedly while putting together a mediocre puzzle showing something like 200 brands of beer. I was like 10 feet from them, which was surreal.
Agree? Disagree? Let’s agree it’s a phenomenal piece of bathroom wall art, regardless.

Got away for a night in DC at the Mandarin Oriental, and spent a couple hours in the spa where they opened up the robot panel on my chest and rewired a few things, then upgraded my operating system. Just in time, I say! Popped out to Mintwood Place that night and had steak tartar. I’ve had some form of tartar 4-5 times in the last month, the key being it’s small and so is my appetite. Morbidly hoping that doesn’t change too soon.

The next night, in another Joie dress, and another hotel—the Quirk Hotel here in Richmond! It just opened and it’s divine. Joie and hotels—when your axis is behaving like a wet noodle, you gotta go with what works.
That’s all for now. Well, all I’m feeling entitled to reveal, that is. Boop!
Someone tell me a story.

So jealous. I used to bask in the glory of a good full-mirror outfit selfie, but my cat had a different idea and knocked over and broke mine while I was out of the house.
