Under My Skin - Gin Wigmore

The song in my head today. But it keeps making you want to start singing some Cole Porter, doesn’t it?

The existence of affordable, interesting, and crazy random classes at the new Brooklyn Brainery makes me infinitely happy. I signed up for the Scents & Sensibility classes, which excite me due to my newfound obsession with perfumes.

Report: H&M Has Been Trashing Clothes Outside Herald Square

NBC just reported that H&M cuts up unsold clothes and curbs them. I’ve known about this for a while thanks to a lucky find one day where a friend and I ended up with a handful of accessories that were still new and with tags. I thought this was shockingly wasteful, especially in a city where homelessness is so prevalent.

I’m so glad that the media has discovered this. Currently, H&M is dealing with the backlash in real time on their Facebook page, but consumers are extremely upset about it. Furthermore, the company is claiming that this is “an incident”, while I originally found the boxES in March.

I serendipitously ended up attending “Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present” exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum this last week. Although insanely crowded (very appropriate considering the subject matter), the breath of the show was impressive- from fans to album covers to editorials to Courtney Love Polaroids. While walking around the exhibit for 10 minutes TOPS I managed to overhear 4 conversations about Fugazi, 1 conversation about Amy Winehouse, and a lot of museum-ly “humphs”. Go Brooklyn.
