During covid, in the 6th arr. in Paris, a woman who used to own a childrenās store opened a curiosity shop called La Boutique Fantasque. A few weeks ago, I stopped by and bought an ornamental cricket cage and a few yards of fabric with horses printed all over it. (Apparently itās good luck to trap a single cricket and keep it in your kitchen.) She also sells specialty Christmas ornaments. Her instagram doesnāt really capture what sheās doing, I recommend visiting in person. If you email in advance, sheāll have a friend come translate for you.Ā And while in Parisā¦ why donāt you have dinner with Donatien Grau, who works at the Musee dāOrsay, at Voltaire, which is across from the Musee dāOrsay. Heās a local and itās a localsā restaurant, the only kind of restaurant I like. Heāll force you to order this salad he invented, itās disgustingāsalmon, uncooked mushrooms, avocado, slathered in some mystery white cream sauceāhighly recommend the experience.

I thought Labi Saffre was a woman, heās not. Nice quality in a singer. Anyway, these are two of the best love songs ever written. I first heard Youāre Lovely on repeat on mushrooms. Itās :32 seconds. I recommend the experience.

Henry makes a lot of low key insufferable navel-gazey films that I really enjoy. Last Summer in the Hamptons (1995) is his best. A matriarch presides over her family, who are all somehow involved in the theatre. It makes you wish you grew up with intellectuals in a house by the sea. Eating: A Very Serious Comedy about Women and Food is so annoying, itās just women saying theyāre fat at a party in Los Angeles, but my friend and his wife have the poster in their dining room, and itās a great poster, I recommend getting it.Ā Heās alive, Henry is, my translator friend knows him, sheās his muse, though sheās turned the camera back on him, her documentary on him needs a place to screen, if youāre a gallerist, get in touch. Support living artists!

Natural Rock Spring Water Ice Cubes are a bag of ice cubes like any bag of ice cubes. But I really like the idea of drinking ice cubes from Maine. And I like that the packaging says ācocktail style ice cubes.ā Hereās their copy: āThe spring water used in making this ice is protected by acres of Maine conservation land and evergreen forests. The natural mineral content in our premium spring water produces a harder clearer ice with no sodium and no aftertaste. When you use natural rocks ice to chill your favorite beverage, you taste the drink, not the ice. The original spring water ice, since 1990.āĀ These are summer ice cubes to me, best paired with Creme de Cassis and seltzer and, like, a porch. Wear Asia Luna bug spray. Iām not sure it works, but it smells nice.
