“Don’t hold it, behold it, it’s not yours or mine”…
Haven’t listened to Josephine Foster for the past couple years for fear of nostalgia quicksand. Not only am I pleased as punch to revisit her gorgeously ghostly folk, I find that she is… totes my new fashion icon.

- Madam, a respectable woman has her own lovers, she doesn’t take someone else’s!
- Madam! Madam, if I didn’t respect myself, I’d beat you to a pulp!Illustration by Paul Gavarni, from his series Carnival in Paris. From Le Diable à Paris (The Devil in Paris), vol. 2, collective work, Paris (Hetzel) 1868.

2 years ago • 146 notesPlease, please let me know if you / anyone needs a place in Chicago. I’ve been living with this lovely subletter named Aldo the past few months, and he wants to stay on here, but is having trouble finding a roomie.
My place here, if you haven’t seen it, is really a great deal. Inexpensive, spacious, on a tree-lined street in Andersonville/Edgewater, right by the train. I’ve loved living here. Plus I want to leave some furniture here that I won’t need in Ukraine, like my bed, so just think of it, you can cuddle my ghost!
Obvi this is last minute, but it would makes things hella lot easier for Aldo, and for me, because then I wouldn’t have to haul as much shit. THANK YOU, over and out.

Dinner with Amy tonight at Lulu’s, where my most favorite baker Jesus works his night job. I hadn’t seen him in a couple of months since I quit the bakery, and he gave me one of those manly-friends-hugs (shake hands while patting the other person gruffly on the back). As we finished our dinner, our friend Isaac brought over the MOST RIDICULOUS BROWNIE SUNDAE: coconut ice cream on top, with chocolate & carmel sauces and powdered sugar. “Jesus said to bring this to the ladies.” What a guy - I guess we have the kind of bond only working at Sugar & Spice can seal.
