Messe
This week has flown by.

I meet them in Frankfurt on Sunday and we will hit the ground running. Year 11 of this show, year 3 for me. And in a blink of...
“michelleomatic said: You’re such a baller. Who watches Montauk when you’re away?...”
– Oh hai, you’re awesome :)
Montauk lives full time with The Initials, and she has a little pack of pups who she goes on afternoon walks with so she is well taken care of. I see her whenever I can, and she and I like to have cocktail dates when I am in town. One of the best things about...

On hashbrowns.
There is a little cafe on the seafront in Brighton, just on the border of Hove, Actually. It’s across the street from the little flat where I stay with The Men and The Old Boys, with the balcony that over looks Kings Road.

Toppers.
This is a bit of a long-shot, but I am in need of a fascinator for a wedding in England this June. It’s my first wedding in the UK and truth be told, I am most excited about this hat situation.
