meaghano:

Growing up I always planned to lose my virginity to this song. And by planned, told everyone whenever I could, played it whenever I could, explained to my friendS SUCH nuanced sexual references as, Baby let’s cruise / Let’s flow, let’s glide / Ooh let’s open up, & go inside. Get it? She means INSIDE HER VAGINA. IT’S PERFECT!

Fast forward many years and many unfulfilled plans later and I was in New York, or deep in Brooklyn, rather, with a boy, a musician, of course, whom I had met in the line at Max Fish because I had made fun of him for something in front of all of his friends and then kissed him in the corner, by the juke box, because he said he submitted a List to McSweeney’s or something like that. (THIS WAS AT LEAST THREE YEARS AGO, OKAY). So I was still a virgin and he was very attractive in that I am an incredible jackass and have this really obnoxious spiky hair but play the bass and everybody knows the guys that play the bass are great in bed way and who knows what he said to get me, a virgin nanny who planned to lose it with some guy in a loft apartment over a used bookstore while he read Pablo Neruda or something, to get in a cab and go over the bridge and put on my seatbelt because I was so new I still had that urge and then kiss him in his tiny stupid room full of instruments and, I don’t know, Bill Bryson books.

We sat on the corner of his bed kissing and I devised ways to tell him I was totally not going to sleep with him despite all evidence to the contrary and he said, “One sec, we need music.” And I leaned over him at his little laptop in that, You are totally about to touch my boobs way and he clicked on a playlist that was called LATE NITE MIX (nite not night— I feel like that is important) and what song came on?

Dammit. There is something very specific about Taylor Momsen that totally slays me, and I can’t figure out what it is, and it’s not that she was born in 1993, sickos.

“Situated at the base of sacred Mount Fuji, the dark, grotesque and eerily silent forest of Aokigahara is the worlds leading suicide destination. Often depicted in Japanese literature as haunted and deathly, it was described in Waturu Tsurumi’s The Complete Manual of Suicide as ‘The Perfect Place to Die.’”

Q and Answer

Matt writes:

I must thank your blog for filling a gap in my life I didn’t know existed. I am now well on my way to dressing like a grown-up. Due to my new self-awareness I have realized that I don’t own a pair of black shoes. I also wear sport socks a little too much, but I can easily correct that myself. With regard to the black shoes though what would you recommend as a good classic style black shoe?

First of all, thank you, Matt, for filling a gap in our lives we didn’t know existed.

As far as black shoes goes, above is the Allen-Edmonds Park Avenue, which as far as we’re concerned is the gold standard of black shoes for the man who has only one pair of black shoes. It’s not the cheapest shoe in the world (goes for $325 at full price), and it’s not the prettiest shoe in the world (AE shoes tend to lack a certain… sleekness), but this pair of shoes does have its advantages.

To wit:

It will never go out of style. This shoe would have looked perfectly appropriate on your foot in 1920, 1960, 1980 and 1995, and it will look perfectly appropriate today.

It will always be appropriate. Every wedding, funeral, Important Meeting or any other Important Day, you can wear this shoe. No one will ever think twice about it.

It will last forever. If you’re wearing them for special occasions and conservative meetings, and you care for them, they will literally last your lifetime. It can be resoled and recrafted easily by Allen Edmonds or an independent shop.

It is made in God’s United States of America. So you won’t be giving away any jobs to THE JAPANESE or whatever. (Note: second sentence intended ironically)

I AM IN. LET’S DO THIS.
