1. Make Eye Contact
I cannot stress enough how important I feel it is to look someone in the eye. Everyone. From your loved ones to store clerks & bank tellers. Treat everyone like your equal. I also find eye contact immensely attractive. It shows you’re assured & open & I dig that.2. Remember…
Read them all! They are really, really important.
Each time you happen to me all over again.
Williamsburg seems to have forgotten about winter.
I am currently drinking iced tea, windows open, bare legged, considering taking the second nap of the day. If that doesn’t sound like summer, I don’t know what does.
Happy 200th Birthday, Charles Dickens!
This is brilliant. You’re scrolling through, thinking, “Oooh, Prada! Male model… male model…” Then suddenly, “ADRIAN BRODY? WILLEM DAFOE?!” Then it’s back to “oh okay, pretty men wearing Prada,” until GARY OLDMAN shows up looking like a BADASS.
“Literature, real literature, must not be gulped down like some potion which may be good for the heart or good for the brain—the brain, that stomach of the soul. Literature must be taken and broken to bits, pulled apart, squashed—then its lovely reek will be smelt in the hollow of the palm, it will be munched and rolled upon the tongue with relish; then, and only then, its rare flavor will be appreciated at its true worth and the broken and crushed parts will again come together in your mind and disclose the beauty of a unity to which you have contributed something of your own blood.” ― Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Russian Literature

I swear my productivity stops immediately after 6pm. I’ve only got two chapters of “History of Sexuality in America” to read but I just spent thirty minutes looking up red velvet cupcake recipes and now all I want to do is sit here and read Cosmo.
That kinda counts as a history of sexuality in America, now that I think about it. I’ll just critique Cosmo and pretend I’m doing homework.
