Simplify
Hold on to less because you buy less. I went through every closet, hiding spot, and shelf in my house to get rid of anything that doesn’t make sense to hold on to. Even if it’s nice, even if it’s new. Time to let go and begin again with less.
I Made My Mind Up To Attend Five Minutes Ago
Gucci pre-fall aesthetically captures my party mood this holiday season;
Where you’re too cold to get dressed up properly, so you put on mismatched layers and socks to cover up, and next thing you know you look like those little kids that parents let dress themselves to school and other events, except you’re in your thirties now and that’s kind of strange, but you’re out! so be happy you’ve blessed this gathering with your presence to begin with, even though now leaving the house you realize that staying in would have been nice too, without all the makeup and the effort, but that’s not how you keep friends, you must be a friend to have a friend etc, so let’s put on some music and get a drink and get this party going then.

AOC
Not only rooting for you, but looking forward to getting out there, voting, and keeping this movement alive.
Go, AOC, go!
Bravo
To see a woman like her on the cover of Vogue (even if it is Mexican Vogue) is a huge deal for Mexico, women of color, and any human on this planet that is wanting more diverse portrayals of what it means to be beautiful. She looks regal, gorgeous, and modern here. I will be searching this out on news stands and buying one because bravo.
More. of. this. please.
Moving to Portraits
I may just go back to doing portraits for a bit after Alice Neel. I just finished an exercise of copying a master’s work (Fairfield Porter!) and I found it incredibly useful as I try to figure out what my preferred personal style is.
