It's been so cold this January that I actually felt the difference between 0° and 3° "real feel" temps. I even observed an icicle melting in the direct sunlight. A beautiful sight.

A bright jewel in dress form, the classic #1920s aesthetic but with some lovely decoration. The trompe l’oeil bow over the hips flows to a beaded hem and a frost of lace appears at the edges #ksumuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Here we have a 1927 Worth evening dress. The fabric of brown silk satin with gold and silver lame was made by Jean Dunand. Dunand was an interior designer, sculptor, furniture maker, and all-around artist. He worked with Jean-Philippe Worth to design unique fabrics for him.

We needed a protest song. But as a person over 50, I also apparently needed a new iconic Bruce Springsteen song that is suddenly ubiquitous. That's an America I actually know and recognize and, for better or worse, associate with the halcyon days of my youth.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Getting really good at making soups this winter. Tonight a carrot soup with ginger, lemongrass, orange zest, and coconut cream & garlic sourdough croutons. Perfect antidote to this arctic weather. Paired with pinot grigio frizzante and some Miles Davis.

Serious question: Who exactly fired Bovino? I find it difficult to believe Noem, Miller, or the president made that call, at least not without a proverbial gun to their heads. As much as I'd love to believe we manifested it, I'm curious to know exactly who was responding to exactly what pressure.

After spending Sat & Sun nights pacing the apartment in a state of distress, last night I slept abruptly, before my usual bedtime, like a corpse, for 9 hours. Awoke with an existential weight lifted. Political accountability is an incredible anxiolytic.
