World AIDS Day 2024


I often think about how grateful I am that HIV is no longer the automatic death sentence it was when I was coming of age -- and visit The AIDS Memorial daily to remind myself of the millions of people of all walks of life we've lost to this unrelenting disease. xo

Good Going, Stranger


Just now seeing this incredible photo of Madonna in front of Manic Panic -- the first punk boutique in the U.S. -- on St. Marks Place in the East Village, while filming "Desperately Seeking Susan" in 1984. Photo by Andy Schwartz.


Read an interview with Tish and Snooky -- onetime Blondie (and the Bonzai Babies) backup singers and Manic Panic proprietors -- HERE.

A Tri-state Thanksgiving


I'm off this week, although we ended up scrapping our plans to visit my colorful family in Arizona for Thanksgiving. Instead we're going to my sister-in-law's house in Madison, N.J., for dinner before heading out to Westport, Conn., for a long weekend where I'm hoping some time away -- reading, enjoying the Long Island Sound and exploring my grandmother’s old neighborhood -- will be good for the soul. xo


Follows always appreciated on Instagram, Threads and now Bluesky.
