I donāt have an obsession, I have a collection. Itās gotten out of hand though. Didnāt make an In/Out list for 2023, but Berets are in for me. Whose got 2 thumbs and 4 berets? This Guy. A raspberry beret and a black one. An Aerosmith beret and one from The1975 merch booth. My finsta is actually Merchcunningham (highly vetted) so uak this is a real lifestyle investment. See you on the other side ! š

š©It started with regular hats that others passed on - bucket hats, baseball caps from family, then I started buying hats - like sunhats, wider brim wool types, even a fedora inspired one, and when I picked up knitting, I made more hats...
Besides the standard types, people have gifted a fez, a traditional chullo and a beautifully embroidered Arequipa hat. I bought a hat here and there too, so it's getting to be a sizeable collection. But there are so many hats I still want to try! I want to get the Blockbuster beanie, a mariner's or sailor's hat, a OOO baseball cap from hoho coco, the Madhalla, that massive floppy sunhat (but I need more wardrobe or wallspace), the Assam hat (rice hat?), a cowboy hat, and so much more. It's my weird thing, but I love it, and I wear them all :))

I think Iāve finally accepted that I am, in fact, a āhat guy.ā I always wear a baseball cap in the summer and a beanie in the winter - though my summer collection is a lot better imo. I wore the one with the bee on in through all of high school/ most of college, the broken record one for most of grad school (that used to be pure white lol) and recently Iāve been rotating between the āValentines Day is Stupidā and the Brooklyn Museum ones

number one is bandanas. wear these with your hair through them. just tie em once around the back, wear them as an ascot, wrap it around your bicep a la freddie mercury. the possibilities are endless.
in that same vein, or whatever the right saying is, CAPS, BEANIES, OVER EAR HEADPHONES, headwear is IN this summer no one is stepping out without a lil embellishment on top. and you heard that HERE first!

š·a beautiful inlet coffee & wine shop in the heart of Fort Greene. Run by some amazing, industrious friends of mine (Darryl Nuhn & Brad Ogbonna) featuring food from my guy, my genius, Nate Cox. Ferris Bueller Voice: āThe menu is always changing but the vibe is so consistently choice. I highly recommend!ā

š„Honorable mention. If youāve hung out with me the past year or so, heās my favorite topic. A fellow virgo, my acting inspiration and exercise guru lol In all sincerity, I find his work groundbreaking at times. The quintessential post-Pacino, James Dean renaissance leading man/character actor of his time. Do yaself a favor, Go watch Pope of Greenwich Village (1985) , Barfly (1987) and soak it in. I think they are both free on Y*utube š

š«Another recent find. Marylandās finest. Tommy was an exceptional pop writer from around my neck of the woods of Greater Washington DC/MD. A king of sincere queer coded lyrics a bit before it was okay to be or bait (think pre-Nirvana dress, but u mean it etc). His debut āPlaces That Are Goneā and āNothing Can Change Youā are also perfect. He did a lot of āmulti instrumentā playing for ppl like Paul Westerberg in the mid 90s, which is something I often do for bands I play with. He has been a big inspiration for me and my next round of albums.
