Happy Monday, friend. I’m wrapping up a glorious weekend with my Aunt Annie, celebrating her 70th birth with maximum gusto. The past 48 hours have been jam packed with sight-seeing, chocolate,champagne, and strange men spitting paint. It is glorious. We are now off to conquer the suburbs and maybe eat pancakes so I’m feeling pretty good. Hope your week gets off to a great start!
We spend a lot of time talking about glamorous grannies around here, but this gentleman has major swag worth talking about!
Hashtag of the week: #oreoart (PS: Have yal tried the new thin Oreos? Yuh. So worth it.)
The village where men are banned.
Have you heard about Banksy’s Dismaland? I need to go.
Joey Fatone wrote a disarmingly hilarious, sad, and painfully honest letter to the guys in One Direction. Never thought I would enjoy/be uncomfortable reading boy band advice this much.
For the new kids: a back to school love letter.
The evolution of a living room.
A new vision of WWII era photos. Gorgeous!

I loooooove that Joey Fatone letter, but… it is important to note that Joey Fatone did NOT write it. It is on a satire website. I wish he had, though.

I always enjoy reading your monday posts, they always have something interesting I´ve never seen before.

I still can’t figure out how to get Instagram. I think I have it, but I can’t access it. Anyway. Those 1940’s photos are AMAZING. I wonder if someone could do that to some of the photos I have. They are delightful, and give a whole new life to the photo. I would go with you to Dismaland this year, but I have a lot of trips booked.

I think the Joey Fatone letter is spot on about being in a boy band. It’s honest and more performers should read it before they think about pursuing a career in the entertainment industry.
