I’m thinking wig.

Here in the UK, you and I (although we are entirely different races, just not white) are referred to officially as BME, or Black and Minority Ethnic. It’s meant well, but jesus god, I find it reductive and disdainful.

I always thought it was a sort of dusty pale purple. Embarrassed.

You can still get them in South Africa, fwiw.

Oh my - me too. I ‘ve always *loved* her; I have fantasies about having lovely girls-only best-friendy outings and little sandwiches and things with her and Lena Dunham.

That sucks.

Which is why Romancing the Stone remains one of my favourite movies. (Seriously. Fuck heels. I can’t walk in them without agonising pain, let alone sprint through undergrowth.)

I have to take at least one transatlantic trip per month. I always take checked luggage, but I’ve been using this bag for a ridiculously long time, and it does me proud. (Although that little bottle of water in the side pocket is pissing me off, because as we all know, little bottles of water are verboten in these…

It does my nut. To start with, I NEED a big bottle of Aveeno lotion (or else my skin starts trying to crawl off my body 24 hours after landing) - you can buy tiny ones but they only last a couple of days, and I’m usually away on business for at least a week. I am a past mistress at packing: I have to take at least one…
