That brief period when your bank account is ripe and you think I COULD BUY ANYTHING!, knowing next month you will probably consider selling gently used sneakers on ebay (again).

Happy birthday to @allison_mccabe, who makes the world infinitely more hysterical. 
Okay, this brings up one of the greatest moments in Harry Potter reading history.
Imagine yourself reading book 7 for the first time and Harry has followed some mysterious doe Patronus into the woods. He sees this pool of water and the sword of Gryffindor down the middle, and as he dives into the freezing cold water and as the Horcrux around his neck pulls and chokes him and everything gets very dark and very cold and you start to seriously wonder how he’ll get out of this one now - he’s pulled from the pool! And you gasp air with him! And feel relief! And turn the page and see the words:
“Are - you - mental?”
If you didn’t shout and cry and throw the book into the air in joy and jump on your bed thanking the sweet Heavens above BEFORE even reading who said it - without HAVING to read who said it - then I don’t even wanna know you.

NATIONAL MAGAZINE AWARD WINNER - A big congratulations to the team at FLARE magazine for winning the GOLD for Fashion Editorial at the National Magazine Awards the other night!
Photographer: Chris Nicholls
Stylist: Liz Cabral
Model: Coco Rocha
Art: James Conran
You might be a little surprised by the last name on that list - When we did the shoot over a year ago, James came on set with me and thought he was just going to have a relaxing day reading his book while I worked! It turned out Chris the photographer heard James was an artist and asked him to draw chalk backgrounds for every shot we took. The whole project turned out great and I am so proud of the entire team for winning this award.
The shoot is documented on THIS VIDEO so please watch that for more information.
Loved this shoot. Well-deserving of the NMA.

I vaguely recall doling out this advice in reverse to a wandering lovestruck dairy farmer, while perched on the garden outside Crown Plaza this morning. Got through to him—he cut the games, and sent the text. Just call me Cupid.
Actually, it would be more like a, “yeah? High five!”
