[ROUND-UP] IN MY PLACE(MAT)

When I was a kid, my boring Republican relatives would buy me equally boring Republican gifts.  You know what an eight-year-old NEVER wants?  A placemat masquerading as a birthday gift. 

How does that crappy present get even WORSE?  When it's an "educational" placemat that lists every single US president in chronological order.  Eat your vegetables AND learn about William Henry Harrison! 

What FUN that was.

On Being Bold

While I can't easily answer the question "what's my style," and seem to have an ever evolving, sometimes contradictory opinion about what I like and what I don't like, I'm increasingly coming to realize that 9 times out of 10, what really gives me a hard on is this: being bold.

It's hard to describe exactly what being bold even means, as of course, it's different for us all. But for me I feel like being bold often means doing the unexpected thing...the thing that most people wouldn't think of and even if they did, they'd be scared to actually do it.

Like a black fucking sink. I mean, who does that!? ROMAN AND WILLIAMS DO IT, BTCHZ, THAT'S WHO. And if that sink doesn't make you faint, than you smoke far too much weed. Cause come awn! It's epic!

And it's in a fairly traditional looking kitchen with simple white cabs, and hello = BOLD.

Target Collab With Calypso

HOLY SHIT I am deeply into this idea.

And I mean deeply.

Target is teaming up with Calypso St. Barth on a collection that is scheduled to hit stores on May 1st...right in time for summer! (and yes, ppl: that sounds pretty damn good to me as the 3rd blizzard in as many weeks dumps even more snow on nyc).

The collection will include clothing, acessories AND home decor! YEZZZZZ!

No final word on what all the decor items will include, but there are allegedly "candles, pillows and glasses." Prices will range from $1.99 to $79.99 for the entire collection.

Sidenote: having to deal with these designer collab releases AND living in NY is literally HELL ON EARTH. You ppl all over the country have your fancy, clean, big Targets with lots of shopping carts, and full shelves and all that jazz and we've got this shit.

It's hard out here for a pimp...jus sayin.

Saunas Are Srsly Happening

Did you get the memo? Cause yes, it's true: Saunas are having a moment.

A few weeks ago we rented a house in the Catskills that had a "sauna cabin."

And as y'all know since I talk about it non-stop: I'm constantly combing real estate listings to look out for our imaginary future house upstate. And I gotta tell you: I've come across 3 or 4 properties so far with saunas.

Charles and Hudson noticed too, and they pointed me in the direction of the WSJ who *also* reports that saunas are the hottest home improvement trend since the man cave or some shit.

[I'M OBSESSED] The Sartorialist

Even if you don't give a rat's ass about fashion...or photography...or style, you're still a real life crazy person if you don't visit The Sartorialist several times a week. If I had to choose one site as my absolute, hands down fave, that site would definitely be it.

I LOVE IT SO HARD. Also Scott Schuman, the brains and galactically talented photographer behind the site, is like THE OG fashion blogger. The dude literally kinda invented the concept of street fashion blogging as we know it.
