Peggy Lee in “is that all there is?”
Sean turned me onto this song, written in ‘69, months ago, and I find myself going back to it whenever I’m having anxiety about things pertaining to life/profession/friends/family.etc. Fashion week is an esp trying time since it’s a bit hard to get into the triviality of the whole thing.

Now of course, it feels more like work (and superficial work at that!) than a fulfilled childhood fantasy. What a disappointment? Well yes and no. Really. If that all there is to Fashion Week, then instead of being disappointed, lets “keep dancing, break out the booze and have a ball!”
And that is how I get through the week (with a little existential love from peggy lee). And, it’s been quite a week so far:
