Old as I am, your blog still reminds me of what it was like to live & work in NY, the visceral smells, the love-hate of the summer months when everyone but me went to Hampton, the all-consuming jealousy of those who had “made it.” (Usually Nepo in my day since no influencers). It’s soul-crushing then you realize you’re not really imprisoned and get out!! Or make it. I made the band swear they would not play New York, New York at my wedding. They did it anyway. I didn’t make it there, and that was ultimately fine. I love your blogs!
Aaaand you get it!!! And ended up being chicest woman alive between TN and Maine so that's a comforting thought. Ty as always for reading <3 so glad you enjoy
sometimes i really do feel like victoria justice when the cast of victorious were doing an interview and they were all asked who is the best singer in the cast and everyone said "ariana grande" but victoria said "i think we can ALL sing!!!!" anyway, soo glad to see that girl, so confusing made an appearance on the june playlist!
Loved this essay. It perfectly captures how I felt when I was 27 and in New York (and beyond)
The chin zit…. Wildly relatable (as was a lot of this!!!)
this was brutally honest, and exactly what I needed
I envy the shrewdness of this article, what goes around comes around :)
