Books are hard- not reading them, I'm cool with that. it's the fact that it's either like $30 for some piece of junk you might not even like from Unity or getting stuff from the library which means you then have to deal with inevitable fines because god knows what kind of machiavellian mind can remember when they're due back.
So analog books are on the way out, but e-readers haven't quite sorted their shit out either. But reading makes you smart and gives you interesting things to talk about, and it also helps me get to sleep when I have an iced mochachino anytime after midday. My response to this dilemma is to read lots of things on the internet. Here are the best three I read today:
In this article, Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel shares an average 24 hours of his life. And spoiler alert- this guy is batshit insane. He spends all day lounging sensually around his Parisian mansion in a seventeenth century lace nightshirt, pausing only to drink chocolate protein shakes and play with his kitten, who he creepily describes as 'a very refined object'. Also, judging from the hilarious photos from around his boudoir, dudes totally a hoarder.

Pictured:a 'refined object' This is the greatest website. I learn all my best information on here. It's actually kind of a problem because my BFF Alyse reads it religiously too, so whenever one of us tries to tell the other something exciting we've learned, the other person always goes 'YEAH I know ireaditoncrackedtoo'  Do you remember Francesca Lia Block? She wrote teen novels in the early nineties about punk fairy princess Weetzie Bat(not a typo) and her adventures in Shangri-L.A. (Los Angeles.. get it?) with her gay best friend, her Secret Agent Lover Man, and her daughters of dubious parentage, Cherokee and Witch Baby (I have to remember to save those for kitten names). Well, she collaborated with L.A.-neo-vintage-indie label Wildfox Couture to write a short story as inspiration for their latest capsule collection. It's very sweet and romantic, and the editorial that goes with it is pretty killer. They set up a standalone website for the project, but I prefer to read it on the WC blog because the outtakes from the shoot are on there and they're stellar. My favorite girl is Dahlia, who's yours?  Yes, those are platform ballerina shoes. No, I don't own them... yet. |
