If you’re not going to scroll all the way to the end of the email, first of all – how dare you! jk jk but also – just know that I have a show this Sunday 7/24 at 7PM in nyc and it’s FREE and you could be there????????? More info below xoxo
Sorry to be controversial, but I’m a summer girl. Summer is the best. Summer is my favorite. I love summer!!!! It’s warm at night and I live for that! None of the other seasons are doing it like her.
All the autumn girlies can dump their pumpkin spice lattes in the Delaware river for all I care! Have fun holding onto that jacket you needed this morning but is too hot for the rest of the day! I’ll be sipping my ice-cold wild blackberry mint limeade by the pool.
HOWEVER!
However…July is easily the worst month in New York City. It’s just gross and unpleasant and it smells bad and it’s wet?? But this is my first summer in Brooklyn – and, overall, the vibe is vibing.
The people of Brooklyn simply know how to relax. Manhattanites know how to have two work phones and one personal phone and walk really fast and do coffee enemas. But in Brooklyn? We live for the party and the party lives for us. The guys in the building next door have a whole living room set up on the sidewalk – chairs, coffee tables, speakers. Sometimes they pull out an x-box and play NBA 2K. You open the window to invite in the sounds of laughter and the game’s faux stadium applause; the sky glows neon tangerine and the smell of someone’s smokey barbecue floats up into the living room. Brooklyn and Summer have chemistry like Keanu and Sandra in Speed (no I will not apologize).
I also recently had the pleasure of being on the west coast where the nature is NATURE and the outdoors is OUTDOORS, if you know what I mean. Within 24 hours of landing in the state of Washington, I was watching nude, witchy hippies take a bicycle seat up the ass in honor of the summer solstice. We missed our ferry and had to take an impromptu ride in a tiny 6-seater airplane and the view was amazing. Overall, I saw so many mountains and also goats and chickens and two foxes and an owl. Like I said – the nature is nature!!!
Anyway…all this just to say – 11/10 spending time outside in nature during the summer. Highly recommend.
Hope your summer is vibing with your vibe. Go where the vibe takes you. #vibe
