I’m getting out a links post actually on Friday, pre-classes, pre-full-day-of-smelling-synthetic-raw-materials.
- Welcome to space. Meet Steve.
- Congratulations to John Oliver (and best wishes to Marlon Bundo and Wesley).
Love is love. - …There’s going to be a live-action Lady and the Tramp. Can someone please explain why CGI counts as live action? And can someone also please explain why, in general?
- The beauty and power of fandoms. Read it for the first, introductory segment alone.
- A super interesting read on the ‘brand-influencer power struggle’. An examination of the rise of Instagram influencers and bloggers as fashion personalities, how they’re compensated, what it means, and how it’s changing.
- Honest Trailers does it again. On the slate this week: every Wes Anderson movie. One of my pet favorite directors and they get his idiosyncrasies so right.
- “Visitors are encouraged to create drawings, one of which will be interpreted into a personalized Diptyque scent.” Diptyque is opening an interactive shop in Soho! I’ll have to visit once I’m back in the US (because lord knows there aren’t enough Diptyque shops in Paris). Don’t want to miss out on the fun? You can also submit online.
- “I will insist on my grandchildren referring to me as Grandmamá, with extra emphasis on the á.” All the Glamorous Things I Will Do When I AM A Rich Old Lady. Honestly- goals. But also, don’t wait! Get that Burmese python now! Or, you know, perfect your posture).
- Roland Mouret on his scent preferences and his newish perfume, Une Amourette.
- Olivia de Havilland, 101, alive, and very much kicking. I watched In This Our Life, featuring her and Bette Davis, this week while studying. Not the best movie ever but watching them was like visiting two old friends of mine.
