1. That picture. Damn.

2. Thanks to your 4th paragraph I can now describe my design aesthetic: “not too big but with really good surfaces.” I feel personally attacked.

More of this please. Hilarious. With a mood board of all the weddings. Like a 13 year girl would. NOT classy like. Jagged edged scissor aggression style.

I have had a really shittastic month and last night I was battling to stay afloat. Today was baby steps on eggshells to get to tonight. And then, just now, I read this hilarious story after getting home from my not-so-glam, $10/mo gym where I also do pull-down chest things the probably-wrong-way AND I LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND SMILED. I needed this tonight. So, thank you. You are a light in a kinda-dark-right-now world. Jodie Foster would be blessed to know ya. Xo

Orlando captures better than anyone the combo of humor and over seriousness intrinsic to the creation of elaborate fictional lives for strangers by our hyperactive imaginations.
