Hope everybody is as excited tonight about the Battle of Blackwater as I am.
P.s. Sansa Stark, Queen in the North!!!!!
P.p.s. really interested in how much they’re making her look like Cersei.

I splurged!
I’m wearing Rive Gauche today, since it’s great for the office - a reserved, sophisticated floral, rose without the syrup. It’s not quite an ice-queen, though; that title belongs to even more austere Chanel No. 19, which is what Luca Turin calls a “wire mother” fragrance.
Fracas, by contrast, is a delirious bombast of outrageous florals like tuberose, gardenia, and carnation. It smells like a church-hatted old lady, resplendent in her Easter morning finery (I mean that in the best way possible). I think I’m going to save it for special occasions and especially bright spring days. It would also smell great on a little girl.
Samsara is a sweet oriental, all vanilla and incense. There’s an initial plasticky note that can be jarring (synthetic sandalwood?), but it settles into something soft enough for everyday wear. It’s definitely not my favorite Guerlain, but I wanted another oriental in my rotation as a counterpart to Coco.
I’ve also been building up a nice little collection of decanted samplers - ranging from the Guerlain classics (Jicky, Shalimar, Mitsouku) to more modern stuff like SJP’s Lovely, Angel by Thierry Mugler, some masculines and leathers (excited to talk more about Kouros (!!!) and Cuir de Russie), and a few intriguing, woodsy things from Serge Lutens and Frederic Malle.
So, watch this space, etc!

You might be Werner Herzog if:
- You are imprisoned while making a film because one of your crew members bears the same name as a wanted German mercenary.
- You build a ship 120 feet in the air in a tree in the middle of the fucking jungle to use for a 30 second…
Me getting through Mondays.
Not going to lie: I love Sansa. Absolutely one of my favorite characters. I love her strength, sensitivity, and idealism - (yes, five books later). She is a true Stark because of her innate kindness, but she’s also got that Tully savvy. QUEEN IN THE NORTH.
(also in my top five, post ADWD: Arya, Sandor “The Hound” Clegane, Jaime Lannister, and Barristan The Bold.)

Really excited about seeing/talking about this with some badass lady 8- & 6-year-olds that I know.Pixar? Curly redheaded girl? Strong female character? Archery?
This is my Avengers.
Today’s adventure in food-trucking: fried rice with filet mignon from Tainamite.
(My lunchtime walk to and from the food trucks on Olympic & Bundy is a solid 40 minutes, so that’s how I’m justifying the carb/rich meat-overload. THAT’S HOW I’M JUSTIFYING IT, OKAY?) Pretty good, but would benefit from some kimchi garnish. What wouldn’t benefit from some kimchi, though?
I’ve passed by this truck several times recently during my commute; chilling in traffic on the 405 gives you lots of chances to check out food truck menus.
Perfumes of the past
Lunch: The Deli Special (pork banh mi with pate and head cheese!) from The Nom Nom Truck, which was parked on Bundy & Olympic today.
