Last year I watched Orlando, the 1992 period drama based on the Virginia Woolf novel of the same name, starring Tilda Swinton, for the first time. In case you donāt know, itās about an Elizabethan nobleman who canāt die and one day wakes up to discover heās a woman. I donāt think Iāll ever go six months again for the rest of my life (presumably, unlike Orlando, Iāll die one day) without watching it. It hurts when she breaks the fourth wall.

A beautiful twist on the vampire genre. Jim Jarmusch always portrays love so well in such an interesting way. Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston are brilliant.

Ok so I couldnāt sleep last night so I decided to watch this film. Dude, what a whirlwind of a film. I had no idea (until my girlfriend told me) that some women really crave swallowinf random things when theyāre pregnant?!? anyway, it was an ok film. Itās worth a watch for the costume design and cinematography. There were some shots that went crazy. I canāt recall the main actors name but she did her thing. Itās hard to give off a sense of vulnerability that doesnāt come off fake. Some actors āactā vulnerable and some really give off this vibe that they genuinely understand the material and live in that character. Not sure if Iāll ever rewatch it but goddam what a flick.

I went to Miami for Art Basel and by the end of the weekend I was filled with hangxiety so I spent an extra day sitting on the beach reading Stephanie LaCavaās newish novel I Fear My Pain Interests You. Itās about the daughter of two punk rock stars who suffers from ācongenital analgesia,ā which means she feels no physical pain, and though itās definitely not a breezy beach read, it destroyed me, in a good way.

People are constantly asking me where to go out in New York, but thatās kind of a hard question to answer. What I try to encourage people to do is get together with a group of people they love and go somewhere they would normally never go. People are far too fucking pretentious about their nightlife in this city and if youāve spent every weekend for the last three months at Basement or Bossa or whatever, youāre probably chasing something youāll never actually catch. I have the most fun when my friends go somewhere out of our ordinary, with people weād never normally associate with. All of this to say: Itās ok to go dance at ACME sometimes.

Bethenny Frankel is the true queen of the Real Housewives, and her TikTok is just as good as Bravo. Mostly itās Bethenny looking hot and reviewing beauty products with profanity and gusto, but lately, for whatever reason, sheās also started reviewing things likeā¦ fast food coffee and cans of tuna? Itās brilliant and batshit. Sometimes she shares her thoughts on the culture, which are the best, such as her thoughts on Harry and Meghan. I donāt like them either. But I love Bethenny.
