My sister-in-law has a new etsy store, and it features this awesome print. Mostly it’s cool old kids books, but she’s a slammin painter, and she’s starting to put up some of that too. I already know what I would take down in my apartment to make room for a discerning bunny.

“ Did you know that Barbara Ehrenreich got her PhD at Rockefeller in 1968? I read her stuff from time to time, and sometimes I agree with her, and other times I think she’s a communist, although she says she’s a democratic socialist. ”

I watched Spring Breakdown

with Amy Pohler, Rachel Dratch, and Parker Posey. It was really funny, whatever straight-to-DVD-release. And it had a throwaway Mists of Avalon joke. I love movies by girls for girls.

The thing that sucks about driving a big ole rental truck across the country is that you can’t stop and take pictures of all the cool stuff. But we were already stopped when we came across these.

Strands of American History It’s a kind of calligraphy, these ringlets and waves, hair combed, twisted and pinned. A first lady’s coiffure is a pattern, chosen as deliberately as the White House china, but prey to wind and rain, especially on cold Inauguration Days. It’s also prey to public opinion, should she dare to make quixotic changes in her ’do — a sign of flippancy and flip-flopping. Notice there are no flips. In the beginning, we see a newborn empire in those Josephine curls. The mid-20th century is marcelled. And in recent decades, increasingly liberated first ladies sport more leonine locks. Interestingly, there are no bangs. Perhaps this has less to do with hair and more to do with campaign promises of marital harmony and world peace.—LAURA JACOBS, the author, most recently, of “The Bird Catcher” Hair-Portraits of First Ladies.
