I feel like visiting NYC again…it’s been too long.
I am trying to imagine a white president forced to show his papers at a national news conference, and coming up blank. I am trying to a imagine a prominent white Harvard professor arrested for breaking into his own home, and coming up with nothing. I am trying to see Sean Penn or Nicolas Cage being frisked at an upscale deli, and I find myself laughing in the dark. It is worth considering the messaging here. It says to black kids: “Don’t leave home. They don’t want you around.” It is messaging propagated by moral people.
All the applause for Ta-Nehisi Coates with this editorial.
These Are My Friends

Gotta love the ads in NYC.
This was the night of MaraTheron. Still one of my favorite weekends ever.
And then this happened. God bless you, Flatbush.
A lifelong Flatbush resident, Mindy is the first young woman in the history of New York to run for New York State Senate. The Orthodox Jewish woman, aged 22, is the candidate for both the Republican and Conservative party lines. Mindy intends to utilize her religious values and moral compass as her guide. “I can tell you one thing, I have no experience in corruption,” said Meyer. “This is how politics has to change. There is always corruption, but I have the intention to follow my values and ensure that none of what happens in my district is corrupt.”
Has anyone else participated in Sleep No More? The immersive experience of, for example, being pulled into a room by one of the actors and shoved through a wardrobe into a secret passage is memorable…to say the least.
The indescribable sense of being INSIDE the play is mind-numbing, not to mention enthralling; Lady Macbeth used my calves to pull herself off the floor after a particularly fascinating fight with her husband. Throughout the night, you are literally tasked with not only following the characters, but also have to attempt to parse together the scenes, narrative, and even characters with no real information but context clues and your own memory of the play.
If you have a chance to check it out, I’d highly recommend it. You’ll never find anything else quite like it.
Perfection. Happy birthday, love.
Sometimes you just sit around at brunch wearing a Sleep No More mask.
Check out the damage done to the VIP area of the club W.i.P. in NYC after the entourages of Drake and Chris Brown exploded in rage over…well, Rihanna, apparently.
Update No. 3.: The Daily News has police sources confirming that Brown sent a bottle of champagne and that Drake responded with a note; their version of Drake note reads, “I’m still fucking Rihanna,” which, no way. Drake! Then the report gets crazier: “All hell broke loose” after the note (obviously) and then “Drake’s 15-member entourage — a dozen pals and three security officers — peeled off their shirts as the fighting kicked into gear.”
Keep in mind there are conflicting accounts (as to be expected), and the account (and photos) are taken from the Daily News. For more information and other accounts, hit up Vulture’s post on the fight.
I am such a sucker for affordable rent. Best Coast, here I come!
You forgot to add the accent mark. Christ, New York, get your shit together.
Cait understands me.
I gotta testify, come up in the spot lookin' extra fly...
