Horizontal and Vertical

I try not to repost images, especially not from parties, etc. But this. This. Ughod. This is Christmas for Andre (especially since i gave him the heads up about the mustache)

I really admire people who create their own worlds so thoroughly, who have no FOMO about life outside their particular fishbowl. The above icons are stylistic (and probably lifestyle) examples, but i do mean it more broadly.

Tangent: My (legit) crazy neighbor was telling me about Los Angeles yesterday and how much he liked it, compared to New York. This is something you don't hear very often. But his point of fascination was that there is no 'downtown' in L.A., no center, and since the core of L.A. is a movable unit (your car), the place to be is wherever you physically are at that moment. I think it's kind of refreshing in theory to not be pummeled by an idea of where everyone else is or the goings on of where you aren't. As opposed to New York where you are always working and running and huffing and puffing and just treading so hard to get to where you want to be, locationally, and aspirationally. New Yorkers, myself included, have a tough time with self acceptance. The self-celebration, however, isn't a problem.

Post Note, I've deleted my twitter account. Bravery in this new world. Especially at the start of NYFW.
