Have you ever had a major deadline yet you found yourselves in the depths of Etsy hell, looking for pleated corduroy trousers for an hour while your kids keep asking you for things? Have you ever sat in your car in a parking lot looking on eBay for boots, leaving yourself precious little time to prepare for an important meeting? Do you keep checking the same online shop for new arrivals even though you know damn well that you checked already yesterday? And does your keen awareness of the unsavory machinations of the lifestyle and fashion industries leave you feeling a bit (or a lot) guilty about these proclivities? Are you, in other words, someone who occasionally (or often) finds that their fantastic taste, sharp intellect, and high moral standards can be challenging to reconcile within the context of parenthood, aging, and late capitalism? And are you losing interest in what well-educated 30-year-old New Yorkers (or 60-year-old New Yorkers) have to say about these topics in sponsored posts?
If your answer to any of those questions is “yes” (or at least “not no”) then this blog is for you.
