Harvey was a semi-regular at my old store (in West Hollywood). He sometimes came in with one of his daughters, who at the time was already a teenager. It always made me sad to see her (and I hated seeing him, because not only was he a creep, he was also just a COLOSSAL asshole, every second I had to deal with him),…

What a sweet thing to say, thank you! (I will say, I’m sure I’ll be fine, too. Barring major disaster, most of us are, most of the time, when it all shakes out. And in the meantime, I do have someone very special in my life who gave me a really amazing week last month. Even if he’s far away, we do still keep in touch,…

I’ve seen it twice in theaters overall; once a few years ago, and then last night. I will say, one of my very favorite things about living in LA is that I will never, ever run out of options for seeing older films (both contemporary “old” ones and genuinely old ones; caught a beautiful silent film from 1928 at LACMA…

Yeah, I didn’t get kissed or laid or anything in between until 26. I’m not saying my early 20s weren’t rough because of this, because they were; but — like you, I rarely meet people I truly click with, but when I do, it’s so much better as an adult when you really know what you want. The couple of people I’ve been…

It’s so funny to read this right now; LDR fella actually wrote a review of a book about this very subject — essentially the quintessential Nessie debunking book, since it gets fully into the man who started the whole myth, and why. Fascinating stuff. He also got into what an extraordinary (and, frankly, insane) amount…

God, I love Paperback Paradise so much. I have cried real tears laughing at it on more than one occasion.

I love this and I love you.

Hard same.

Did not know this, but I’m half-Swiss, so!

Yup. I’m a haver of said mutation/gene oddity. As I understand it, the gene meant to switch off once you age out of theoretically subsisting on mother’s milk, never actually switches off. For those of us who have this, they’ll crave it, to some degree, the rest of their lives.

Damn. Not exactly surprising, especially after that read, but still.

Its a certain type of shitty person that law enforcement attracts, much like car sales.

Thank you for chiming in on this.

Hospital is a good guess, though.

Oh my god, 31? My age? I just looked, and boy, you are NOT kidding.

Straight up popped into Sephora yesterday expressly to pick a couple of these up, then immediately tried them. Specifically the new 7daywknd/Poolside Killawatt Highlighter combo and the Mamacita/ Tini Kini 2-in-1 Eye Shimmer. Loved both right away.

What a Queen. I love her so.

Just finished the excellent true crime book by Richard Lloyd Parry, People Who Eat Darkness. It’s about a truly gruesome and bizarre case, but it also delves into the huge differences between the policing and investigation and court systems in Japan vs. the US and UK, which is pretty fascinating.

I’ll admit, I never actually watched the show, so I wouldn’t know what episode it was in... But it’s a very short one where some older woman asks a young male clerk about a book in an old bookstore. That’s about as much as I remember!

Oh man, do I envy the light in your place! I love plants and really miss having and caring for them, but my apartment is situated in such a way — much larger building shading us directly from the west, giant hedge blocking the entire front — that we get practically NO sunlight. Apart from a bit in the kitchen, but the…
