Interviews - Styling Photo Shoots in Stockholm, The Nitty- Gritty of Pre-Production, and Lots of Coffee - Make it stand out 8:30 am: After getting ready for the day with Frank Ocean playing in the background, I take some time to structure my day ahead. The day before a big shoot, I always write a to-do list with what needs fixing so that I’m fully ready for the production aspect. 10:00 am: It’s always rather hectic before a production, since a lot of the clothes and accessories can arrive last minute. So I usually take time to put the final looks together the day prior and sometimes re-do a few looks since a few more items have usually arrived. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1625073070722-NYEXXEZ8DF5XP69HNUR8/IMG_1482.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Styling Photo Shoots in Stockholm, The Nitty- Gritty of Pre-Production, and Lots of Coffee - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1625072497010-CMQEMGZLCYF860043UV3/IMG_1483.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Styling Photo Shoots in Stockholm, The Nitty- Gritty of Pre-Production, and Lots of Coffee - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1625072835193-JOV48H6OE404SQAMU7ZX/IMG_1486.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Styling Photo Shoots in Stockholm, The Nitty- Gritty of Pre-Production, and Lots of Coffee - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://thedandy.club/home/meet-the-holy-grail-of-high-waisted-sweatpants monthly 0.5 2021-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1624371179719-MAPRQ9AFHBT88QZZXDKE/thewaight1.JPG The Dandy - Interviews - Meet The Holy Grail of High-Waisted Sweatpants - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1624404634977-NAFAZS0XJB7JQD3TZRAW/The+Highest+Rise-Botanical+Bundle+Dye.JPG The Dandy - Interviews - Meet The Holy Grail of High-Waisted Sweatpants - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://thedandy.club/home/the-perfect-catskills-inn-kenoza-hall monthly 0.5 2021-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1624994720657-R0QU1U5X5QKRDTX685L7/kenoza-hall-resort-bedroom.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - The Perfect Catskills Inn: Kenoza Hall - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1624994629862-IDPJSJ501EMERJJDMTDN/kenoza-hall-kenoza-lake-view.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - The Perfect Catskills Inn: Kenoza Hall - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1624994707577-P1H41M2OLIY1XH4QE1JN/kenoza-hall-pool.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - The Perfect Catskills Inn: Kenoza Hall - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1624994736962-O53P2G3KBKUAQUMBDYI1/kenoza-hall-map.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - The Perfect Catskills Inn: Kenoza Hall - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://thedandy.club/home/curating-music-for-public-records-botox-in-a-bottle-amp-music-from-cairo-and-bangkok monthly 0.5 2021-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1623077569653-TNS8GKLFRC6PT5LEBAJ8/Screen+Shot+2021-06-07+at+10.52.35+AM.png The Dandy - Interviews - Curating Music For Public Records, Botox in a Bottle, & Music From Cairo and Bangkok - Make it stand out 1:00 pm: My music supervision work through my agencies Dirty Soup and Raina has landed me commercials with Stella Artois, Audi, countless hotels and restaurants as well as art openings and fashion shows. Curating a space or event sonically is something that is second nature to me, but the most important part of my job are the travels that come with discovering these records originating from cultures and countries spanning decades. The magic really lies in the anthropology. Digging into music from Cairo and Bangkok were some of the most inspiring experiences I’ve ever had with collecting records. The people and sonic landscape are so fascinating and to be able to use this music today and share it with people is my main purpose in doing all of this. There are so many beautiful places and people in this world and discovering their art from decades prior and making it available to the community is really special to me. 3:00 pm: When working on our clothing company OMIN, my partner Amber Doyle and I will head to the studio and coordinate with our production manager Stacey who helps us get orders out and facilitates all the beadwork and detailing that each hand made garment receives. Creating Omin was a dream come true, as Amber and I are both insane vintage collectors. To be able to be inspired by and reproduce rare vintage and costume pieces has been an incredible journey that we are both really proud of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1623078299732-N2L0467718UNQ0MXWPOP/amber.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Curating Music For Public Records, Botox in a Bottle, & Music From Cairo and Bangkok - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1623076434237-S7VM0ES3YCHQDWPDX4JZ/Screen+Shot+2021-06-07+at+10.33.21+AM.png The Dandy - Interviews - Curating Music For Public Records, Botox in a Bottle, & Music From Cairo and Bangkok - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://thedandy.club/home/white-lotus-actress-meghann-fahy-on-dark-comedy-the-pursuit-of-happiness-and-why-we-should-all-try-more-things monthly 0.5 2022-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1622137391772-15YC4NM9DQSSWYKYFD0I/20210506-MeghannFahy-0690.JPG The Dandy - Interviews - White Lotus Actress Meghann Fahy on Dark Comedy, The Pursuit of Happiness, And Why We Should All Try More Things - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1622137357984-5QQD2S7QI2JEC1U9YZL0/20210506-MeghannFahy-0323.JPG The Dandy - Interviews - White Lotus Actress Meghann Fahy on Dark Comedy, The Pursuit of Happiness, And Why We Should All Try More Things - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1622137423006-4O5FCBTB28J6DC6086PN/20210506-MeghannFahy-0496.JPG The Dandy - Interviews - White Lotus Actress Meghann Fahy on Dark Comedy, The Pursuit of Happiness, And Why We Should All Try More Things - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://thedandy.club/home/why-punk-rock-is-the-answer-to-standing-up-for-whats-right monthly 0.5 2021-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1621609665677-NN8HCJHF3UB2UYLUMP8S/rock.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Why Punk Rock Is The Answer To Standing Up For What’s Right - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://thedandy.club/home/the-socks-and-tees-youll-be-obsessed-with monthly 0.5 2021-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1625074319181-TYXKDW8E9TYKMZ4MIPZR/le-bonn-shoppe-her-tee.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - The Socks and Tees You’ll Be Obsessed With - Make it stand out Your second staple tee: Her Tee!

But what if America failed to launch? How would that have played out on the global stage? That’s the premise of For All Mankind, an Apple Original series starring actress Coral Peña. The Dominican actress was born and raised in Harlem and truly kicked off her career with her role in Steven Spielberg’sThe Post, acting alongside Meryl Streep.

So what classes would you recommend to someone who wants to use their own chart to decode the best times to take action in their lives? What tools do you give students to figure things out for themselves? I have a full curriculum of classes and the beginners class is wonderful if you want a starter. In that class, you learn how to read your own birth chart and the charts of anyone you want--friends, family, etc. That class is where a lot of people decide if they want to become an astrologer or if they just want to use it in their life in tandem with whatever else they do. It also gives you the tools to work with the planetary cycles, which is key. And that's a practice I do every day. The more you work with the cycles, the more you're naturally attuned to them and can work with your intuition leading the way. Also, Astrology for Entrepreneurs is one of our most popular courses. How can we apply The Dandy’s birth chart--birthdate April 21, 2020-- to navigate The Dandy’s future and show other entrepreneurs how they can too? The first thing I notice about the chart of The Dandy is that it has a Taurus sun, Cancer rising and Aries moon. So let's first talk about Sun Conjunct Uranus in the 11th house. The Dandy is here to stay. It's an earthy, solid Taurus sign, but it's conjunct Uranus, meaning you're here to push the limits and challenge others to think in different ways to create new perceptual awareness. Based on Sun Conjunct Uranus, Uranus is the planet that spins the opposite of all the others. So, it's saying “we're going to do this a different way.” It’s the rebel. It's in the 11th House, which is the house of the collective community. So the Sun Uranus is here to help other people and really help the community and be a resource. It's really a strong business chart. It looks like you actually might have asked an astrologer, but you didn't. We also see that it's a Cancer rising, which is a nurturing sign. There's a sense of warmth and heart. We’re seeing a connection to women and supporting other people. You have a healthy ecosystem of fire, earth, air and water, and that's actually really good for a business. That's what I encourage when coaching entrepreneurs on choosing a business chart, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1618518784846-YJ51I2PEQA6Q5S47FHR8/Astrologer_Rebecca_Gordon_Forecasts_2021.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Astrologer Rebecca Gordon Forecasts 2021 Since the onset of the pandemic, there have been certain industries seeing substantial gains. We know them as: grocery stores, fitness equipment companies, telemedicine, and yes—astrology. I personally became interested in astrology in 2011, when I was a senior in college. I remember logging on to tarot.com every morning of second semester to read the guy who broke my heart’s horoscopes in tandem to mine. Friends thought I was off my rocker, but I was just so fascinated by how much I related to my sun sign: Gemini and how my rising and moon sign also fit together to validate my strengths and weaknesses. Thanks to millenials over the past few years, astrology has solidified into mainstream culture with meme accounts, big tech backed apps like CoStar and Sanctuary, and articles on sun signs on almost every online magazine, but celestial analysis has been around for 2400 years. To gain more perspective on how I can further use astrology to my benefit, I reached out to renowned New York City astrologer and founder of her 16-year running Astrology School, Rebecca Gordon. In addition to taking me through a deep dive of my birth chart, she also demoed her Astrology for Entrepreneurs course with me by unpacking The Dandy’s birth chart. Yep, you read that right—even businesses have a time, place and date they came to fruition and Rebecca has helped guide hundreds of entrepreneurs through decoding their planetary birth maps. As the resident astrologer for Harper’s Bazaar and collaborator with brands like Chanel, Christian Louboutin, and the Four Seasons, Rebecca is truly one of the best astrologers in the business. Her true passion lies in teaching astrology and helping people find their life callings through virtual, live and pre-recorded Astrology courses and workshops for the novice, professional and occasional Astrologer. Rebecca just launched her Luminary League, which you can learn more about in our interview. We spoke about the common misconceptions of astrologers, what it’s like being an astrologer in a relationship, what she predicted would happen in 2020, and what she sees happening for us globally this year. Hint: it’s a whole lot of newness. And here’s the link to download your Free Lunar Guide to sync your days with the Moon Signs for success! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1618518828194-XLYT9PK93AYSOULVM9M5/Natal_Chart.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Astrologer Rebecca Gordon Forecasts 2021 So an entrepreneur could use this and then look at their chart for the month ahead and decide when is best to make certain decisions? I use this in my own life and I consult companies using astrology to predict the best times for a company to do various endeavors. For example, what we would do is we can look at your chart and see where the Jupiter Saturn conjunction is at the moment. I'm going to pull up a transit wheel and you're going to see Jupiter just under the 9th house of your chart. It will be there for about a year, and that tells me that your strongest most auspicious influences are going to be in the 9th house, which is the realm of publishing, broadcasting, and media. This is a year to cast a wide net and spread your message. What better transit for a magazine than Jupiter in the 9th house. That happens every 12 years. So it's one of your best years to really impregnate consciousness with your ideas. Then in May of 2022, Jupiter enters your 10th house, which is the realm of career, fame, honor, success, so it’s quite a good year. There is something really beautiful about this business with Neptune and Pisces at the top. It has a visionary aspect. But I can also see times when a business should lie low and rest. You don't always have to be on and launching and doing things. But even on the monthly cycles, the chart can show wonderful times for launches. And I use all of this in my own business. As far as relationships, Jupiter and Pluto are in your seventh house of partnership, this shows that partnerships and other people play a big part in this business. I think you're doing all of these wonderful interviews with people, too. Yeah. Can't do it alone. This is all great news and so cool to see. To switch gears, what's once insecurity that you've had to overcome in your life? I never thought I was ready. And thankfully, I've had wonderful mentors who literally pushed me off the cliff. I love to mentor people as well, and when it's time, to help push them off the cliff, because I really know the wound of not ever feeling ready. That feeling plagued me for a lot of years and I think it slowed me down until life started to happen very quickly, and then I was like ‘Wow, I don't have time to get ready in the way that I would want to.’ I just have to show up. And there was one time in 2005 when I was asked to speak at this gallery in Chelsea for an astrological event. The press was there, and I had written so many notes for the talk, because I was over-prepared. I remember despite having these notes, I looked out at the audience and completely froze. Pure silence. And this was such a breakthrough point for me. I decided at that moment, I would just focus on one person. And I spoke directly to her. That's how I realized that this job is about helping people, it’s not about me showing up. I am simply the channel for these people to receive astrology and guidance. We are all ultimately a lot more ready than we think. It's not just about how many books you've read or classes you've taken, there is an innate wisdom in each person, and I really try to help people acquaint with the inner wisdom. So then in terms of relationships, I know it is said that certain sun signs mesh better with others, but have you seen relationships ever work out with opposing signs? Oh, all the time. Those are some of the best relationships. In fact, one of the most notable studies was done by Carl Jung about marriage partners, and most marriage partners either have opposing sun or moon signs. I tend to look at charts as an ecosystem, so if your ecosystem looks like rivers running through the mountains, how is that going to interact with an ecosystem that is this just pure desert? Also in some relationships there's the feeling of magnetism which can't be denied and things like that which show up in conjunctions to the nodes. For example, relationships can be very overpowering if a planet like Pluto is involved and relationships can be extremely helpful if Jupiter is involved. They can be very long-term and serious if Saturn's involved. So, there is so much nuance in all planetary configurations, but I think knowing this helps some people deal with rejection, because they can see that a person has a different ecosystem than they do and so they don’t have to take it personally. I also love to work through charts with client couples. Have you ever been in a relationship where from the get-go, you’re wanting to know the person's birthday and birthplace, and they get weirded out? Or not really, because they know it's your job? When I was in high school and college, I would do everybody's chart when I met them. And now I actually want to know less. I like to watch the art of reality play itself out now. I will probably look later down the road and especially if there's any red flags, maybe I'll have a look. But I think it's really important to not micromanage your reality with astrology. That's not why astrology is here. We also need to really live our lives, and this is one of the tenets in our school. You know, you don't need to see someone naked when you first meet them. It's a little TMI. We don't need to know that much initially. And of course, when you just start studying, everybody wants to know everything about everybody and I get that. But it's healthier to meet people and naturally explore the dynamics. My partner and I are both astrologers and we did not want to look at each other's charts for a while because we wanted to just see how our relationship would play out. And then we found out that we had some of the most amazing astrological aspects, but it was nice to have it play out naturally. It would have felt contrived to think we're supposed to be a certain way and it would put too much pressure on it. So it’s better down the line for like problem solving and seeing strengths and weaknesses. Exactly. It really helps contextualize any challenges because you see that there's larger forces at work. One of the greatest things that the public can receive from astrology is that it helps people realize at certain junctures of their life, that they are not crazy. Sometimes people feel like they are overtaken by an emotion or some situation and they have heightened anxiety or depression. A lot of people come to astrology at points like this. Astrology shows the patterns at work in their life and contextualizes it in terms of something like a Pluto transit. Or someone could be feeling extremely lethargic or depressed and we can see Neptune is on their sun. Seeing that level of recognition can help the client embrace the transit and explore the deeper meaning of why it’s happening. When someone understands why, it’s easier to open up. Beyond context, it also gives a timeline. The timeline is key, because you see when it’s going to be over and that gives it a beginning, middle and end. A lot of people feel relief in that awareness. It’s definitely therapeutic and can be used to confirm so many feelings people are having. On an ending note, I know you’ve just launched your new Luminary League. What is it? I've been working on this Luminary League for quite a while now, because there's many things I've shared over the last 20 years of teaching astrology, but there's also been a lot that I have kept to myself. Lately I've been questioning myself: why have I kept these things so gated? The Luminary League is a monthly membership and community where we’re going to work with the astrological aspects of each month. I will teach some of the ritual practices that help you embody astrology that have really transformed my life. This is also based on the current changes on our planet right now and where I see the changes and innovation happening in the next five years. As a society, we’ve been indoctrinated in many ways and people feel like they're in a cattle herd shuffled around. The skies show that we’re coming into a period of innovation and new beginnings more than any other year that I've seen. People are not necessarily in that growth mindset yet, either. Many people are saying they just want life to go back to “normal” after the pandemic, like let's just go back to the old and that's not really where we’re at. So, I really want to talk about the larger trend that's happening and how we can all actually channel the energies of these planets and be at the helm of this revolution and the change that's happening on our globe. It’s interesting because yesterday I was thinking like it sort of feels like we're in this waiting pattern for things to become “normal” again. But it's like, what is that even going to look like? It’s never going to be what it was, you know? Yeah, exactly. So we have to be really changing our paradigm into becoming creators rather than consumers more than anything. And not only creators, but innovators and thinkers that live courageously. We have to be willing to take risks more than ever right now. We need time to explore ideas and to share ideas--so the Luminary League is also going to be sort of like this petri dish. A place where people can experiment and collaborate, build relationship, create new realities, and have a support system that will galvanize the world that we want to live in versus going back. We need to actually establish new systems and new ways of doing many things and in order to do that community and accountability are key. I love to mentor and this will give me a chance to mentor many people at once. I'm very excited about it! https://thedandy.club/home/arpana-rayamajhi monthly 0.5 2021-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1618519889710-OSP4QCXWXXRR30WQXLZU/Snakes_Big_Tech_and_Jewelry-Making_With_Arpana_Rayamajhi.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Snakes, Big Tech, and Jewelry-Making With Arpana Rayamajhi “To create one’s own world takes courage,” said Georgia O’Keeffe. Inspired by whatever motif or philosophy that’s captured her attention, Arpana Rayamajhi creates one-of-a-kind jewels that encapsulate the vibrant colors of her childhood in Kathmandu, Nepal and the punk rock romanticism of New York City. The multidisciplinary artist, whose current focus is on jewelry making, studied painting and sculpture at Cooper Union and began making jewelry just for the fun of it; to remind herself that despite studying at a “super heady” school, art should be made freely—without the inward and outward pressures of scrutiny. A meditation on her past and present, Arpana’s upcoming series, The Snake Charmer, is a product of her interest in the cultural mythology of snakes and recurring dreams of her own. It began as a collection of drawings is now coming to life as wearable art that will launch this spring. To accompany the drop, Arpana also taught herself how to make a film (talk about using your quarantine time wisely) and we can’t wait to see how she brings it to life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1618519912376-1L5ZIWNR332T226IGSI2/new_series_of_jewelry_the_Snake_Charmer._Arpana_Rayamajhi.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Snakes, Big Tech, and Jewelry-Making With Arpana Rayamajhi What are you currently working on now? I'm in the process of releasing my new series of jewelry , The Snake Charmer. I've been drawing and even making a film to go with it. It's my first time making a film, so it's been the most creatively challenging process in every possible way. But everything that didn't work out along the way has taught me the most. I've written a few small films for my other series. With time, I will be able to share that with everyone as well. How did you start your jewelry business and platform? What was that process like from starting small to evolving to where you are now? When did the representation by Pool Creatives come into play? I started making jewelry while I was enrolled at Cooper, broke, and struggling to be in a super heady school. I wanted to remind myself why I decided to pursue the arts: because its fun and it's extremely fulfilling above any other blah blah of what it means or should mean. I had been secretly making jewels for about two years before I developed a style and then I started to wear them out. My friends showed interest and I put them up on Instagram and that’s how it organically grew. I started working with pool in 2018, two years after I had already done a bunch of work and came across their radar. Delphine (the founder) has been great! Do the majority of your pieces start out as illustrations? You sent over some photographs of the snake charmer--what provoked you about the mythology of snakes? Most of my beaded pieces happen organically. I will be drawn to a motif and I'll figure that out, but over time I’ve developed a bead language and vocabulary to know how I want it to look without having to draw them out. I need to learn new techniques, but I am taking a temporary break from beading to do more metal and fine jewelry pieces which requires me to prep by drawing beforehand. I dream about snakes often or go through periods of dreaming about them. Snakes are also animals we worship back home in Nepal and according to myths, Kathmandu Valley used to be a big lake where a lot of serpents lived. I do not have a "religious/cultural" angle to my work as much as interest in the symbolism of snakes around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1618519950244-1JN9N8IZFB8XIA7SJ7OP/Women_with_Snakes_Big_Tech_and_Jewelry-Making_With_Arpana_Rayamajhi.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Snakes, Big Tech, and Jewelry-Making With Arpana Rayamajhi Something you love about yourself: I work very hard and I think for myself. I'm extremely difficult to manipulate and I stand my ground. Also, my curiosity. I love that you have said you're always going through a phase. Looking back, what was one of your favorite phases? I love all of my phases when going through them! I seem to quickly grow out of one and then go back to it again. Since the pandemic, I'm back to wearing all black—very much like when I was going to underground metal concerts as a teenager. In a past-life, you were probably a: The Snake Charmer! Hopefully, I was a wolf or a colorful bird or a fish that migrated long distance. Describe your perfect party: Hopefully at the beach with close friends, smoking weed, drinking wine, eating good food, listening to good music and laughing a lot. And hopefully someone at the party is wasted enough in good humor and starts dancing or doing something silly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1618519929684-06OA2NZQZKPOU0JIXGVW/about_the_mythology_of_snakes_Arpana_Rayamajhi.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Snakes, Big Tech, and Jewelry-Making With Arpana Rayamajhi What's been interesting you lately? What’s taking up the most real estate in your mind? The general state of the world socio-politically and where I fit in. I have also been consumed with cinema. I’ve been watching so many French New Wave and "international" films and it's been a super enriching experience. It's funny for me to use the word international—I am not sure if I mean it as a Nepali or someone living in New York or both. I see you enrolled in acting school. How has that been? Have you been taking classes all virtually or is any of it in person? What drew you to acting? I did a crash course in the summer of 2018 and loved it so much that I decided to take the full two year course of the Meisner Technique at William Esper Studio. It's been incredible. Acting is incredibly hard if you try to fake it, or at least that has been true in my experience. It's about honesty and expressing oneself truthfully in an imaginary setting, but I do tend to pull from life experiences as well. We were supposed to graduate in June 2020 but the pandemic ended classes in March. After that, we tried to do online classes and about four classes in, we all collectively decided it was pretty strange without being able to physically be together. My mother is the reason I chose acting; she was an actor. I shied away from it all my life, but it was time that I did it. What is one insecurity you've had to overcome to be successful: When I am successful, I will let you know—but the one that shall maybe always remain is "is this good enough?"

It’s the level of connection and not the length of time. In that essay, when you are recounting the breakup, you said something that is so relatable--which is along the lines of “I did the self-work and I love myself now, so isn’t he supposed to show up when I finally do?” When women who are self-critical end up doing “the work” it feels like we create this expectation from the universe, like there's some spirit that's supposed to know when to send you this person. Are you still grappling with that? It’s a different story every day. But yeah, I think that narrative is really frustrating for a lot of reasons. One is that I don't see men being told the same story. I don't see men being told to work on themselves. When a woman goes through a break up, she's often told “invest in yourself and do things to love yourself more” and men are encouraged to just keep dating. It’s almost like there's an entitlement men have—societally-speaking—to love whenever they want, while women are supposed to “work on themselves” and be their best selves before they can find love. And then when we do all that work, it’s like, ‘Wait, where's the reward? I was told that if I did all these things, I'd get this magical cosmic reward, which is a boyfriend,’ which isn't even really a reward. A relationship is a lot of work. It’s a tremendous growth experience and we treat it like the lollipop you get at the end of all this self-care, which really frustrates me. And you know when you break up with someone, people often ask “How long were you together?” If it's under 10 years, they’ll just say,“Oh you know, you can find someone else.” It was similar when my dad died because we were estranged. People would ask, “Were you close? And I’d say “no” and I got the feeling it was like ‘Oh, thank God, now I don't have to deal with her grief.’ Whereas my grief was just as meaningful. So I wanted to play with all of these different stories that our culture gives us and write a new story. I was also thinking about why we have to make this conscious effort to give ourselves permission to feel the “in-between feelings,” the non-binary ones, as you say. Do you chalk that up to just the way our brains function or the narratives American culture feeds us? I think it's 100% the society we live in. Our bodies are incredibly wise and tell us everything that matters to us. A feeling is just our bodies saying “this matters.” Our society tells us that some things matter and some things don't and that we should be so disembodied that certain emotions don't belong in our body. But we are all the owners of our bodies and any feeling should be welcome there. Humans are incredibly emotionally intuitive animals and we're capable of over 34,000 distinct emotions. It seems so obvious that those emotions would overlap and contradict themselves and that you can feel can feel so many things in one minute, but we have so many narratives that say, “if someone else is suffering more than you, you're not allowed to suffer,” or “you can't miss someone who hurt you.” I so badly want people to be as embodied as possible and let every feeling in. I also do think it’s very American. I heard from a neuroscientist that disembodiment is specific to contemporary American culture. Girls start to experience disembodiment around age 11—where they feel like certain feelings are allowed and certain ones aren't—and boys start experiencing it at age five or six. We have a big problem and I would love to help get people to be more receptive to their feelings. I want to ask you not about disembodiment but dissociation. Do you ever feel disassociated from the moments that you describe and feel more present afterwards while recounting them? Or are you a fairly present person? That’s such a good question, I love that. I was just thinking today, I'm a person who takes a long time processing things and a lot of people aren't that way. Many people can really identify exactly what's going on in the moment and I am someone who feels very compelled to mythologize the things that happened to me, meaning “what does this small story have to do with my big story?” And so I take a really long time to process. which is hard for someone who does a lot of self-expression on social media, because often the way that art is consumed these days if something in the news happens, or even something in my life happens, people will expect real-time reactions to that. I was noticing earlier this year when I read lot of poetry about World War II, most of the poems were written about 10 years after the war, because people needed time to process. I just kept thinking that would not be allowed today. People want reactions so quickly. That’s another thing I hope to encourage: more processing time. https://thedandy.club/home/the-evolution monthly 0.5 2021-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1615218041620-XZFEM1HJ7IV35X88XPB0/brenn.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Evolving Is The Hardest Part https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1615223362458-RNHSL10MY8W8RHDSX3W8/hb.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Evolving Is The Hardest Part International Women's Day is about the evolution of women. The celebration of our achievements. I'm interested to know in what area of your life you feel you have evolved the most. Is it in your personal confidence? Your relationships? Your career? Healing of trauma? Or something else? I’m not sure if this is the area I’ve evolved the most, but the area I’m most proud of is my ability to like myself and be myself at all times. Loving yourself is one thing, but liking yourself is far more important. In a world where almost every industry is designed to make women want to be more of this and less of that, liking yourself is a radical choice. I spent so much time when I was young trying to fit in and pretending to be someone I wasn’t. And let me tell you, it was exhausting. Now that I’m a year into my thirties, I’m not as concerned with what people think of me or if I’m fitting in—but in this digital and social age, where our worth is quantified by likes and views, this becomes increasingly more challenging. It’s a never-ending battle because the world is constantly telling us women that we’re not enough. Once I learned to like myself, everything else started to make more sense and fall into place. So as I continue to evolve, I hope and expect to care even less about what people think and live the way that makes me the happiest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1615217890570-JYIW9DOZU6TL1CUZ7R88/Chase+Cohl+-+General+1+-+Kristin+Gallegos.png The Dandy - Interviews - Evolving Is The Hardest Part Photo: Kristin Gallegos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1615224755410-1ZB9TVNBRHYN2HCS4TL6/IMG_3181.PNG The Dandy - Interviews - Evolving Is The Hardest Part https://thedandy.club/home/meet-the-new-makeup-brand-thats-dope-clean-and-green monthly 0.5 2021-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1614697368861-LH97W6ZA19Q524DBXAPJ/mobski.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Meet the New Makeup Brand That’s Dope, Clean and Green Because experimenting with makeup pairs well with an evening out (once we can all do that again), what’s your perfect night out? Where’s dinner? What’s the music? Color palette? Vibe? I cannot wait to go see live music again, so that would have to happen post-dinner! Dinner would consist of amazing food and wine at one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco, Piccino, but I can always be swayed to detour for margaritas and guac! I live for shows at The Fillmore and a powerful performance by the fierce Patti Smith sounds amazing to bring me back to life in the outside world. I cannot wait to wear a full face of makeup: bring on a smoky eye starting with our M39 Punchy Blue Shadow, lots of Cake Liner, and Highlighter paired with a perfect nude lip like our M3. I might even throw on some lashes. Just typing this brought a tear to my eye ! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1614697309677-W6YDM2KXN6UN4BOJVWZV/Alisha.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Meet the New Makeup Brand That’s Dope, Clean and Green https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1614704841493-NQN2MXZRX24DNFO1CXU8/image-1.JPG The Dandy - Interviews - Meet the New Makeup Brand That’s Dope, Clean and Green So we’re not exactly out of the woods yet, but there’s definitely light at the end of the tunnel as we inch closer towards more encounters with normalcy! This optimistic, springish-feeling may be the reason why our interest was piqued when we saw MOB Beauty on Instagram throughout our nightly sleuthing. Yes, it’s clean, cruelty-free and vegan—which is great, but not necessarily novel. What is standout about MOB’s array of products is that the brand has actually thought through packaging design to reduce waste and the use of single-use plastics—which is quite high in the makeup industry. That means you only have to buy their palette case and lipstick capsule once, then fill it with only the colors you like, and recycle the refills when they’re done. To top it off—we recently experimented with MOB’s customizable palette of blushes and highlighters and got a slight dopamine rush from how spreadable, moisturizing, and vibrant their lip balm is. A big part of the reason MOB has the clean-but-effective formulations down is because of co-founder Alisha Gallagher. She’s a veteran boss in the makeup industry and has made biz happen over the years for brands like Laura Mercier and Cover FX Skincare. We recently spoke with Alisha about what motivated her to start MOB, why their Lip Balm is so bomb, and what she learned from past jobs that she’s bringing forth to her new role at MOB. https://thedandy.club/home/what-its-like-to-be-a-restauranteur-in-texas-right-now monthly 0.5 2021-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1614262587150-STSFNWCIHZI16TOSPZ0P/8A047EE9-2EEF-42AA-9ED9-98A725782BB6.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - What It’s Like to Be a Restaurateur in Texas Right Now Heidi Garbo of Garbo’s What's your experience been like so far? How are you feeling? We were very lucky throughout the entire storm. Our restaurant didn’t lose any power; we think because we are near a hospital and a fire station is within our shopping complex. We feel overwhelmed by the high demand for support and we are doing everything we can to help people in need of food. We cannot thank the individuals, non-profits and businesses who stepped up along side us to offer up over 1200+ free meals to the community and breakneck paces. We only wish we could do more. How has the power grid failure affected your business? Being closed for a week—especially during Valentine’s weekend—was a hit to our bottom line. It hit everyone’s bottom line and our employees were out of work for a week. We were able to help pay their lost wages with individual contributions in the end. We feel super lucky. So many other businesses were hit harder, especially with water damage and loss of product. So much of this power crisis has to do with failed leadership--from federal to local. Beyond the extreme conditions of climate change affecting the grids not being able to handle the current magnitude & frequency of storms, high demand caused power prices to go up--which is further exhibiting the large gaps in our social and economic ecosystem and how fucked up everything is. Do you think we should all be demanding more from our country and state leaders? Or what are your thoughts as you process this outage in conjunction with the pandemic? We focus on serving our community and providing great food. That fills our mental plate all-day, everyday. We think that everything needs to be done to ensure this doesn’t happen again, but we aren’t the experts on who was at fault or what could/should have been. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1614263545628-Q2TJAM8C3Q4DJRM4AUO1/IMG_2677.PNG The Dandy - Interviews - What It’s Like to Be a Restaurateur in Texas Right Now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1614262514246-XRYJUJHX6KGY48VVAMIB/erinnwade.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - What It’s Like to Be a Restaurateur in Texas Right Now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1614196386373-31IDGJ0XQN3XCU977U8E/najeanbernard.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - What It’s Like to Be a Restaurateur in Texas Right Now Naijean Bernard of Jeany’s Ginger Elixir What's your experience been like so far? How are you feeling? My 9-year-old son woke me up on the morning of February 15th and told me that we did not have any electricity. I checked my phone and saw it wasn’t charging. Soon after, I realized that we had no water. I immediately went into action and turned on the gas fireplace, which we rarely use here in Central Texas. I thought I opened up the chimney flue correctly, but it turns out, I did not. A few hours later, the carbon monoxide indicators started going off. I quickly switched the chimney flue in the other direction and opened up the patio door. Although it was below freezing outside, I had no other choice. As a single mother, I felt immense guilt to see that I could have caused my child harm due to the potential carbon monoxide poisoning. I sent my son to stay with his cousins, and I stayed at home and bundled up, trying to keep the house warm enough to prevent the pipes from bursting. Thanks to our gas fireplace, our home stayed around 55 degrees in our living room. Other places in our home dropped to 35 degrees. I did receive notices from our gas provider, Atmos Energy, to reduce natural gas consumption, but I felt that I was left with no choice. I kept the gas fireplace going until we received power back. I received no warning that the power/water were going to go out, other than a text at 2 am from Oncor (our local energy provider) stating that we should prepare for a rolling blackout. Like most people, I was asleep at this time. This blackout did not roll. We received power back around 8 pm on Wednesday, February 17. Our water was turned back on around 2 pm on Thursday, February 18. A neighbor was kind enough to turn off our main water valve, which I had no idea how to do. This likely prevented our pipes from bursting. Overall, we were fortunate. How has the power grid failure affected your business? Jeany's Ginger Elixir is my sole source of income for myself and my son. I primarily sell at three farmers markets in Austin TX, online and wholesale. I did not sell the weekend before the power failure due to the cold temperatures. I did have a few wholesale orders from two local hotels in Austin and a few online orders before the snowstorm. However, the main source of my income comes from the markets. I saved up money so I wasn't overly concerned about the loss of income. Then the snowstorm happened and my water source was wiped out. I had filled up three 5 gallons jugs of water a few weeks prior to the snowstorm. However, I had to make a choice whether to use the purified water towards washing the fruits/vegetables or using them in my juice blends. According to our local health district, we can boil water and then use it, but I didn't feel right about that either, especially seeing people posting on social media about how murky the water looked after boiling it. My commercial kitchen sustained a water leak due to a pipe bursting and the overhead sprinklers deploying. Luckily, my commercial juicer was not damaged or any of my other equipment. My concern was my staff, four ladies who help me in the commercial kitchen and selling at the markets. They were also without power and water, so I had no staff to assist me in the kitchen and had to do all the prep alone. A normal 3-hour job stretched into 8 hours easily. https://thedandy.club/home/dandy-day-with-illustrator-jess-rotter monthly 0.5 2021-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613502407637-8S0CJ76K020D1L8VNXDT/jessrotter3.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - The Dandy Day of Illustrator Jess Rotter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613502518272-Q26LHK813UJUYWJ54HGP/jessrotteer1.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - The Dandy Day of Illustrator Jess Rotter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613494261647-Y7E1R76VTIKJECBKK7LX/jessrotter.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - The Dandy Day of Illustrator Jess Rotter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613502562065-60QGYD7CNNJ8KEO45GXA/jessrotter2.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - The Dandy Day of Illustrator Jess Rotter https://thedandy.club/home/love-in-the-time-of-covid monthly 0.5 2021-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613145717065-AJHAJOUSWEL8EAF57Z4X/DANI2.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Perceptions of Love in the Time of Covid-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613145717763-P0QNRYOGN4PZWRU2RN9V/DANI.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Perceptions of Love in the Time of Covid-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613145727126-9RW29H5VRBVNG3HGRZ69/DaniCase_02_8x10.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Perceptions of Love in the Time of Covid-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613144684763-S9TPQIZXHPE47DSNSECI/Zinnes_Lost_in_The_Fog_of_Hope_36x44in.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Perceptions of Love in the Time of Covid-19 “Lost in The Fog of Hope,” Alice Zinnes, 2020 “My mother, the poet Harriet Zinnes, died on November 30, 2019, and through these covid months of solitude I have had the quiet to discover how to channel her love, life and being into who I am as an artist, in terms of feeling her unwavering belief in me, the passion she had for poetry, my own grief – and her unwavering belief in life, and the power of love. This poem below by my mother expresses much of what the painting I have submitted says: the love of hope.” When Stars May Shine By Harriet Zinnes (published in Weather Is Whether, Marsh Hawk Press, 2012) In the evening when light is gone when stars may shine, and the moon may appear in full, in half-light or in a mere stream of light, there is a sense of ending, of doors being closed, of a finale that is hidden and yet boisterously alive. There are ghosts flitting in darkened rooms in the evening, ghosts unseen, mysterious manipulations of human dreams that appear and disappear like unheard lightning bolts. And when evening ends its gloomy descent, and the dawn slowly rises, the peace of beginning relaxes into day, and light is a new smile of a cosmic delirium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613144854948-TQWOM2MMG81KDMIVUTD0/candy.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Perceptions of Love in the Time of Covid-19 “CYPHASTREA,” Candy Spilner, 2020. “Art depends on whatever is felt in the viewing without being specifically named.

Do you shop mostly vintage? Definitely a lot of vintage. I also can sew, so I make stuff all the time and I really like some of the smaller Instagram brands like Selkie and Lirika Matoshi, but I don’t actually shop that often. I’m very scavenger-oriented. Did you learn to sew when you were a kid? Yes, and I went to school for women’s wear fashion design, so most of my college education was in sewing and pattern-making. And you worked in fashion for a while. What was that transition like from working in fashion to opening your own tattoo studio? I worked in fashion, but I was really young and making tech packs on a computer. It was not for me. I wanted something with more action so I took a tattoo apprenticeship, then I worked at a tattoo shop for a while, then at a private studio in the back of a gallery, and afterwards at Fleur Noire. Now we work out of the Lower East Side in Manhattan at my studio, Girl Knew York. Have you been seeing more foot traffic in your shop or less because of the pandemic? Because we have an application process, we only see as many people as we feel comfortable seeing, in or out of a pandemic. I don’t have an area where you can just drop in. I see less people now living in a pandemic because I’m trying my hardest to be responsible. I used to let girls bring their friends and I only have 1 person at a time now. I also used to have a more bustling entourage/crew and we can’t do that anymore. So that’s different, but we try to keep the vibe in the shop like the poem on the website. It’s pink and it’s beautiful and we listen to Dua Lipa all day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1612978263784-2W0QP4RWWH4SWGAU5Z0L/yellowpop_38.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Mira Mariah What are some of your go-to beauty products? I really like this Facial Oil by Winky Lux. It’s not expensive and I use it 20x a day. I love the KUSH Waterproof Mascara by MILK. I have a Sugar Caramel Lip Balm with Fresh Beauty that comes with stickers I designed and that’s also one of my favorites. You’ve done a bunch of brand collabs—including Fresh, Yellowpop and MeUndies. How do you go about forming them? Fresh approached me a long time ago and then we worked on a project together. If I’m obsessed with a brand or a product, I make it part of my personality. I will let everyone know. I was a Fresh super fan and then one of their PR girls came for a tattoo and saw that I had their face spray on my table and then it went from there. It always feels really organic. Tattooing someone is a very intimate process. Does that naturally lead to a lot of personal friendships? I’m selling friendship. I often become friends with my clients; my business manager Camilla got a tattoo from me. I thought she was cool and then eventually she ended up quitting her job and becoming my business partner. And that story is really common for me. My now upstairs neighbor was a client of mine working on her sleeve and she was flying in from Detroit often. I was like “I feel so bad you keep having to fly in from Detroit for this,” and she said “I wish I just lived in New York, but it’s really hard.” So she ended up sleeping on my couch for a few weeks while she interviewed for jobs and now she lives upstairs from me. The client-to- friend thing happens very often. They’re all my friends! That’s the thing, I’m not girlknewyork, you’re girlknewyork. How many tattoos do you have? Do you look at them as telling your life story? Are they a mix of completely random and then meaningful? I have 50-something tattoos and I’d say it’s about half and half. As a disabled person, I don’t think about my body the way that other people do. It’s just a body, my spirit lives inside of it. So some of the tattoos I have are really comical; they don’t mean anything. And then some of them are really beautiful and others are sentimental. ‘Cause I’m funny and sentimental and also beautiful. Who do you think you were in a past life? I think I was a really happy french peasant just baking bread, wearing a corset, having 10 babies and frolicking around picking wild flowers while waiting for my man to get home from war. And I probably had a bunch of lady lovers while I wait for my man to get home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1612965487729-X256GP4ADGP8GN3657VZ/mira.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Mira Mariah https://thedandy.club/home/rozzi monthly 0.5 2021-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613776104022-SY3UN08HA37P37BCWFWV/Rozzi%2Bmain%2Bbeige%2Blaying%2Bdown%2Bhi%2Bres.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Rozzi Photo: Oscar Ouk Amen. Also, being comfortable with showing vulnerability seems to come with age and gaining more confidence. As someone who can easily write about your feelings on paper, have you ever struggled with being vulnerable in relationships? Yeah, definitely. While writing “Joshua Tree,” it was the first time I said a lot of that stuff about my relationship at the time. And now, because that relationship is long gone, I look back on it and that song is just what the relationship was—it was the perfect description. But I never said any of that to him when we were together. Writing the song helped me figure out my feelings, and I often write myself out of a feeling. My song “2 Minutes” was all about body image and the impossible expectations I used to have for myself. And it’s not like that disappeared overnight when I wrote the song, but I do listen to it and think, ‘Wow I really did write that out of myself.’ There’s something about releasing the song that almost sets it free, and then you tour the song, and by the time the tour is done you’ve really released it. Even if no one ever wanted to listen to my songs, I would need this process. I can express my way fairly well as person, but not like I can through my music. It’s so much easier. Speaking of body issues--how has your relationship with your body changed since your early 20s? It’s like night and day! I like my body so much more than I did in my early 20s. I look at old photos of myself and my body isn’t that different than it is now, but I can see how much more I love it now. It’s not even that I actually looked that different, I can just feel the energy within me. My heart breaks for my younger self. I just think about how much time I wasted feeling anything else than amazing. What’s so tricky about body issues is, yes you have a body and yes you can change it, but that is not what is driving the feeling of wanting to change it. It’s completely about confidence and perspective. Definitely. And in thinking about your song “Orange Skies” which addresses climate change, It had me thinking about how mind boggling it is that so many of our leaders throughout the past few decades have permitted so much pollution and toxicity in a way that could’ve been prevented with the knowledge and data that’s been available. From the air we breathe to the chemicals they put in our food, it’s just so gross. Do you also share this utter disturbance with those that permit this in the name of capitalism? Yes. I’m from San Francisco and I grew up very aware of climate change, which we called global warming then. We were taught about it in school, and sometimes that makes me feel worse—because we knew. Obviously I’m not blaming me and my earth science teacher for climate change, but there is this icky feeling I get when I think about how many decades we’ve spent talking about it. I remember doing this exercise in class which asked questions like, “How many loads of laundry does your household do? “How many miles do you drive per day?” and it calculated how many earths you would need if everyone lived like you, and mine was like 7 earths. I understand this has to be a global effort, so it’s hard for one country to do everything, but we were taught that America is supposed to lead the way, so it’s really disappointing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613776086076-PQRFO9TVNBRR08YYBLC5/Rozzi%2Bmain%2Baqua%2Bhi%2Bres.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Rozzi Photo: Oscar Ouk “I’ve been the bitch with the bad weather,” Rozzi belts on “Hymn For Tomorrow”, a new single off her upcoming album. That lyric alone made us excited to speak to the soulful R&B/pop singer, who is known for writing diaristic one-liners that we want to emblazon on a tote bag. The LA-based songwriter was discovered by Adam Levine at 19 years old, and she has created a strong and sultry body of work that touches on the messy emotions we all feel: shame, pain, heartbreak, and the inner strength we find when we move through it all. She’s currently putting the finishing touches on her new record set to drop sometime in 2021 and we can’t wait! We recently spoke to Rozzi about coming into her own and gaining the confidence to call the shots, writing sad poetry in elementary school, climate change, and so much more. https://thedandy.club/home/the-only-body-oils-youll-ever-need monthly 0.5 2021-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1611871761302-ZHMU9QAQQMCVGKYJGJDD/IMG_3433.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - The Only Body Oils You’ll Ever Need Tata Harper Revitalizing Body Oil $115 Oh, Tata—the crème de la crème of clean beauty products.

In the meantime between now and our next reincarnation, we spoke to Sanne Vloet, Dutch runway model and wellness entrepreneur who started from the bottom and now is definitely here. Sanne has walked the runway for all the big names like Chanel, Tom Ford, and Balmain and while she’s still committed to modeling, Sanne is venturing into the world of entrepreneurship, which is the smartest thing you can do with the large following she’s amassed on Instagram by keeping it real with her audience. Sanne will be launching her new matcha brand Nekohama this spring and currently purveys a line of pure, ethically-sourced, CBD-infused face oils called Izé. We spoke to Sanne about what she really eats before shoots, learning to get out of her own way, and of course—her skincare routine. How are you doing? How have you been spending most of your time lately? I am doing well! It was definitely a really big transition for me at the beginning. I used to spend every other day on an airplane or hotel far away from home, so it felt good to spend more time at home and take everything at a slower pace. I did notice my routines became very important and that I had to create them to keep myself sane. By making a matcha every morning, I started a healthy routine and it calmed my mind and body! The step-by-step process of making matcha is very meditative for me. What was it like growing up in the Netherlands? What are some of the biggest cultural differences between the U.S. and where you grew up? So I was actually born in Switzerland, grew up in Zimbabwe and moved to the Netherlands when I was five. I was raised in the countryside and enjoyed every part of it: being outside, surrounded by nature, and biking everywhere. The biggest cultural difference I notice here between here and the Netherlands is that the Dutch are more easy going and take holidays very seriously. We Europeans find quality of life to be very important. You've modeled for Chanel, Tom Ford and the like. Which one was the biggest deal for you? Any funny or stories to share from backstage? Chanel shows have always been a favorite. The settings are so extraordinary and special. I think my craziest backstage moment was when I arrived in Paris from another show 10 minutes before the show started. They had to wash my hair in a bucket to get it ready. The show already began when I started changing and then they realized they made a mistake in the alterations which had been done at 4 am that day. I ended up waiting in line in my underwear for my dress to be altered. Unfortunately the dress and I didn’t make it on the runway that season. Before runway shows, are you just eating veggies and fish and cutting out carbs? Or what's the diet actually like to prepare for runway/shoots? I try to eat very healthy during the fashion months otherwise I can't keep up. Modeling is a top sport and having healthy nutrition is a huge part of this. You have to always look good even between all the travel and late evenings. It’s our job. Especially before a shoot or runway show, I make sure I have a healthy and clean meal with a balance of protein, veggies and brown rice. What are your 5 essential beauty products? Izé face oils! I launched the brand this year and these vegan clean face oils have changed my skin. Simplicity is everything to healthy skin. Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum to hydrate my skin. Sonya Dakar Rose Gold Face Mask. It’s a nice clay mask that doesn’t dry out your skin, but manages to get rid of all impurities. Kevyn Aucoin Eyelash Curler. I don’t like to wear mascara all the time so a good eyelash curler is everything! Laneige Lip Mask. This is literally the best lip balm ever. It doesn’t dry out your lips and I use it as a balm as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1611535402950-DD8QI28E2R0HFBPPW7GY/image0.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Sanne Vloet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1611536034665-3PKF9E41KYUTG38JV5T4/IMG_1992.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Sanne Vloet https://thedandy.club/home/adeline-interview monthly 0.5 2021-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1611072525682-2N5QEF0GNXPF79X6LP5X/ADELINE+BASS+2+photo+by+Shervin+Lainez.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Adeline Photo: Shervin Lainez What would you say are the main differences in the standards of beauty between women in France and the U.S.? Well, I’m looking at my nails right now—and I never get my nails done, which is a very French thing. When I moved to NY from Paris, I had never been into a nail salon. It’s starting a little bit, but it’s just not a thing. Our definition of sexy in France is completely different and I am seeing a lot of older French female actresses with less work done; it’s a lot more natural. It’s more about a sense of attitude, the shape of your clothes, and dressing well rather than having your makeup done and wearing a tight outfit. I relate to that way more. That also sounds healthier in general. You see these American actresses and it’s like wow—the amount of work some of them get done is just wild. Yes, but in terms of healthy, I will give American women credit because they’re definitely more caught up when it comes to exercising and not smoking. A lot of French women smoke cigarettes and don’t really exercise as much. But as far as beauty aesthetic and the definition of sex appeal, there it’s not related to sex, per-se—and that is the biggest difference for me. You were in the band Escort for a few years before going solo. What was that process of shedding the band and focusing on your own look, sound and feel like for you? I was having that conversation yesterday. I’ve been solo for almost 3 years and my career is really solidifying now. I realize that because I spent so much time in a band, I had to go through a lot of processing with finding who I am as a solo artist. It took a long time to find my solo identity. That growth has been huge for me and I needed to not be in a band to be able to find myself. The two just weren’t compatible anymore. Did you oscillate through moments of empowerment and fear surrounding that? Oh my god, of course! I wanted to do it for a long time without admitting it to myself because I was too afraid. The band was doing well and I would get defensive when friends would ask me when I was going to go solo. It was just insecurity, because I wasn’t ready. It took a lot of negative events that happened in my life to push me to make the change. That’s actually usually how I thrive—when I get hit hard and have to bounce back. It became obvious after a while that I needed to do it, but it was definitely very scary for a long time. We love your new EP Intérimes. It’s a lovely mix of funk, soul and fun. What was your concept or intention around creating it? It was mainly to make music that you just described—something that’s funky and soulful and unapologetically me. I released my first solo album before that and it was sonically all over the place. But by touring often and owning my solo personality on stage, the sound that I wanted became clear to me. The goal with this EP was to make something that was full and funky and left room for my personal stories, my bass playing and my vocals to shine. Obviously it’s more common now to see women playing bass and all sorts of male-associated instruments, but we’re curious to know about your experience as a female bassist in the industry. All the bass players around me—female and male—never made me feel pigeonholed or disrespected for being a woman. It was a very welcoming community. But the thing I am fighting for more so than the bass is female producers. We are way behind on that. We represent less than 8%. That leads to this male dominated misogynist situation that we have been fighting against in the music industry—whether it’s in the studio or office or deciding who gets signed or used to get a song recorded. What can really make a lasting change is having more female producers. I had no examples of female producers when I was little besides Missy Elliot. I didn’t even know it was a thing—that’s the only reason I didn't start earlier. Do you produce your own work? I do and I work in tandem with a man. I began working on my music by myself, but then partnered up with my friend Morgan, because he is an amazing keyboard player. I believe music is meant to be shared and I work better collaboratively. And also his personality is complementary with the way I view the industry and female empowerment. It’s still my music and I make the important decisions, but we have a nice thing going on. For sure—good people are good people. Doesn’t matter the gender. Exactly. I’m not the kind of feminist that’s like, 'cancel men completely.’ It’s more important to train young boys and give them the tools. I watch RuPaul’s Drag Race with my stepson! Train young boys. It starts there. Word. Who are some of your favorite disco artists? I wouldn’t typically say Diana Ross because I feel like everyone knows her, but I just worked out to the vinyl of The Boss and its one of my favorites. Also Linda Clifford, Sylvester, and all the music of Patrick Adams. You used to tour often. Do you think you’ll be back on stage in the summer? It’s difficult. That’s the one thing that I allow myself to complain about nowadays. But once it comes back, it’s going to be great! I am optimistic about seeing live music this summer. I was just reading an article my manager sent me this morning about Primavera Festival in Spain. They did a trial festival in partnership with health organizations and it was conclusively positive. So that’s a good sign! It was scary when the pandemic started, because all of these zoom and pre-recorded performances looked for a time like that would be the future, regardless of when live music returned. But now, I honestly don’t think so. Once we are back on stage and people experience being at a concert, they’re not going to want to see anything on their phone. Agree! It’s unlike anything else. It’s like food! You can look at photo of an apple pie, but it’s not like taking a bite of it. Amen. What are your vices? I enjoy a cigarette once in a while. I think it’s the French in me. Feel that! We mostly abide by exercising and eating right, but you have to live sometimes and have a cig if you want one. I totally agree. I’m about doing lot of good for myself, and then a little bit of bad is okay. Instead of diving into an unhealthy regimen for one month and then doing a cleanse for one month, I just eat healthy most of the time and have a cigarette here and there. A lot of wine for me, too. But I also do yoga, exercise, and drink a lot of water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1611072431185-B6TC99B6B20PS1E6GWQJ/Adeline+Jan+2021+photo+by+Sergei+Bahmetenko.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Adeline Photo: Sergei Bahmetenko https://thedandy.club/home/jenny-odell monthly 0.5 2021-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1610409646389-QQ1MNPUX87GUV7NXAUYB/How+to+Do+Nothing-1.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Jenny Odell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1610394475456-RHWVDPW9RZTRUITKWUH2/Odell%2C+Jenny+%28C%29+Ryan+Meyer+.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Jenny Odell Photo Credit: Ryan Meyer We were excited to speak to Jenny Odell, art educator and author of How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy on a call last week. Her New York Times Best Seller made waves in 2019—the year in hindsight where productivity as the ultimate arbiter of self-worth hit its peak. While we are still glued to our phones and stymied by techno-capitalist machines day in and day out, it appears that one positive attribute of 2020 was that we were all forced to reevaluate how we define personal success and what is truly valuable: i.e. health, friends, family—and yes, of course money. But what How to Do Nothing explores is not the need for the absence of capitalism, but a recognition of how the most insidious features of technology in coordination with capitalistic forces are diverting our attention away from the things that create a meaningful existence for ourselves on a local, ecological, and spiritual level. While we’re all guilty of doomscrolling and watching for the next political shitstorm, it’s nice to be reminded that if we’re lucky enough to have the time to hit pause, we can always redirect our attention to literally anything that makes us feel a bit more alive—even if it appears to the productivity-programmed eye as “nothing.” As someone who wrote a book partly about being mindful of our relationship with technology, have you found yourself succumbing to the pitfalls of incessant scrolling during the pandemic? Yeah, definitely there have been moments of that. It’s like a pendulum, you swing back and forth. One of the things I am trying to suggest in the book is that it’s not going to be a once and for all epiphany you have one day and then you never participate in the attention economy again. The reality of living in the world is that it’s going to be this constant negotiation. In either case, wherever you are on that pendulum swing, it’s just about trying to have awareness and an ability to watch yourself and your thoughts and the way that you’re engaging with these platforms. It’s really the only thing you can do. One thing that I understand better now than when I wrote the book is that these times of doomscrolling are so specifically tied to feelings of fear and danger. Since writing the book that dynamic is much more familiar to me and it’s clearer when it’s happening to me and easier to get out of. Also, since we’ve never experienced a global pandemic in our lifetime, the level of isolation mixed with the urgency of needing to know what’s happening next is brand new in itself. In my experience, there is not a lot of precedent for the background radiation of fear and absurdity. For me, some of it has been recognizing the size of the thing that you’re up against and not trivializing it. It is scary. The fear makes sense. That’s not going to change. Where I still feel I can exercise some agency is what I choose to do with those feelings and where I take them. It’s helpful to step away and observe yourself and act like a fly on the wall. Imagine those moments when you’re doomscrolling and sitting in some horrible posture in the corner of your apartment. Just picture yourself as a fly on the wall seeing yourself doing that. That’s already a step away from being so absorbed in it. You write in the book, “What the tastes of neoliberal techno-manifest destiny and Trump have in common is impatience with anything nuanced, poetic or less than obvious. Such nothings cannot be tolerated because they cannot be used or appropriated and provide no deliverables.” That had me thinking about the selling of simplified concepts in the news. This obviously started at the dawn of consumerism, but curious when you really saw this shift as mentioned above. The attention economy is heavily associated with social media, but it actually goes back to the entire history of advertising. As long as there have been representations of reality, those representations have never been reality. There’s always some selection going on. One group of people is always going to be pulling out details and communicating in some way to other people and that’s inherent to the nature of communication and news. And then you get something like social media which hyper-accelerates that process and also accentuates the worst aspects of it. Anyone who is on social media has at least a vague sense that there are structural aspects of these platforms that are encouraging its addictive nature and speeding it along. But for me so much has to do with the pacing on social media and the relationship of that to patience and context. I was looking at Twitter this morning and I saw this tweet statement that read like a headline you would see in the news. It had hundreds of thousands of likes, but there was no source. And I’m not saying that person was lying, but it took me this extra beat before scrolling on to be like ‘wait, some part of my brain just uncritically accepted that information because it gels what I think is happening based on the people that I follow,’ but don’t we have a basic responsibility to cite a URL attached to a significant statement? And that’s one tiny example of things that are happening and are encouraged. Clearly that person got a ton of engagement from that statement and was riding on current feelings of fear and anxiety. There is this implicit pressure on social media to respond in great haste and often before it’s even possible to process the event being commented on. In addition, most people’s responses to whatever is going on in the world feels like echoes of other people’s responses. What are your thoughts on this phenomenon? I definitely agree. It is something that I think about a lot and it’s curious that not just writers and news commentators have a take on something, but everyone somehow feels like they have an obligation to post some kind of acknowledgment or reaction to an event. And I don’t think that’s always bad, but for example my Twitter account is very weird; if you go look at it right now you’ll see I’ve been posting kind of silly things and part of it is because I don’t want to add more material to that reactionary shitstorm. I already know, I’m already concerned, I’ve read the news, I’m aware of what’s going on. I don’t need to add to that for myself and for other people purely in the emotional register. But it’s also morbidly fascinating to me how habitual what forms of expression or opinions become habitual on social media. As a result of that sometimes the possibility of simply not engaging or not adding is obscured. You forget that you don’t have to do that. Totally. It also feels like this acknowledgment of or comment on a current event often acts as a siren of social validation within peer groups, because a lot of the people who probably follow you--unless you’re a huge celebrity--already share the same values as you. So it’s interesting to see people feeling the need to virtue signal within friend groups or professional networks. It is really strange and it seems exhausting. My ways of engaging with social media are pretty strange--as you may guess from the book. I rarely look at Instagram, but the few times I scroll through the main feed recently I’m just like ‘oh my god, this is exhausting.’ And these are people that I know! I just want to let them know “It’s okay, I’m aware of your politics.” It seems like this ongoing need to externalize and position oneself is probably not great for longer-term processing and learning about the deep history of things that informs what’s happening right now. In the book you say, “We all have to reexamine our relationship between attention span and the speed of information exchange.” We regretfully didn’t make it to the end, but do you touch upon the dopamine feedback loops and the addictive nature of it? I don’t really address that in the book; I leave that more to people writing about persuasive design. I talk about how these apps are designed to make them more addictive, but I don’t go into the science. In the book I was more interested in this parallel where you can tell someone to stop paying attention to something, but at a certain point you have to give them something else to give their attention to--similar to breaking any habit. I was talking to a friend about the phenomenon of waking up and doomscrolling in bed, which I have done over the year. But I was telling him that you need to have some kind of alternative that provides some type of reward. So he started doing those delightful Yoga with Adrienne videos. The book itself is quite self indulgent; it’s about me having this love affair with local ecology and ultimately that was the thing that gave me perspective and drew me far away enough to look back and see how I had been engaging with technology; which doesn’t dilute the elements of addictive design. But I’m coming from the perspective of an artist interested in art that shows you some new dimension of reality that is seductive and absorbing. You don’t seem like someone who would be comfortable with building a “personal brand,” but in order to sell a book these days, you have to. How did you deal with those conflicting forces within yourself? I am a very private person and my impulse as a person is to not become a commodified public figure. I think this is probably true of other writers where you just have to make a compromise that you’ll do a certain amount of publicity and no more. I’m not going to have a super hyper-developed Instagram profile with different groups of stories and branded infographics. But I’m trying to exercise choice within the latitude that I do have with the necessities of publicity and just trying to keep a clear boundary with my public world and my private world, which can feel complicated especially now that everything happens at home. Have you been working on anything the past year? Or have you been focusing on teaching, observing and birdwatching for the most part? All of the above! I am working on another book and at this point I’m realizing the book will have been written during a pandemic and I know there will be a person whose like “Oh, the person who wrote a book about how to do nothing finished writing a book during a pandemic,” but it’s a book about time and the origins of time as money. It’s an attempt to address a missing piece of How to Do Nothing which is that I don’t adequately address what the book says to someone who doesn’t have the time to do nothing, and that’s been a thorn in my side ever since I’ve published it. I’m also teaching and walking around and thinking. It’s been really strange because one of the things I wanted to talk about was different lenses for perceiving time and thinking about what time is. I started writing the proposal before the pandemic, so it’s added this interesting dimension of trying to defamiliarize how we think about time. I’m hoping that it will make readers more receptive to this idea that the way that we ordinarily reckon time within capitalism is really narrow and specific. https://thedandy.club/home/blame-people-not-2020 monthly 0.5 2021-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1609956242558-O91F8EF0PH5KM3SE8ZPQ/people.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Blame People.

This year has been undeniably difficult. We have been tested in ways we never thought possible. We have been grounded by the idea that even in such a technologically-advanced society, we can still experience mass chaos. We've collectively experienced that feeling of everything just breaking. We know how our society has experienced this year on macro level, but as we reflect on 2020, we're curious how you as an individual have experienced this year in relation to your personal and professional growth. Has 2020 been a time to hit the pause button on certain areas of your life? Has your focus become more on maintaining your mental health and keeping your head above water? Have you continued towards focusing on your goals, using this time at home to keep on trucking? 2020 forced me to press pause on a lot of plans, trips, and visions I had for this year. While my work has always involved a lot of solitary time (writing) and a blurry work/life balance (grad student life), this year has changed my lifestyle significantly. Sheltering-in-place has forced me to reckon with my pace, my professional progress, and my personal growth by confronting habits I could no longer rely on; fears that controlled me in unknown ways; and new ways of living with my partner. I’ve experienced the loss of routine, a beloved pet, and my own personal workspace, but I’ve gained a lot of self-knowledge and trust and I know a lot more about how I cope with difficulty and uncertainty now than I did a year ago. I’ve found that my productivity is directly tied to my ability to manage my anxiety. I have lived with anxiety long enough that I have learned how to channel it towards achieving my goals. This involves feeling the pressure of deadlines, comparing my progress to others, and trying to maintain some semblance of work/life separation. These are normal stressors and although they can feel burdensome and provoke anxiety, they are also motivating factors in my life. However this year has brought about a new, heightened level of anxiety. I find myself bearing the pressures aforementioned alongside new and heavier anxieties like: When will I see my family again? What if someone gets sick? What does the future look like? Does my work even matter anymore? While I’m accustomed to living with intrusive, anxious thoughts, my thoughts have taken a distinctly 2020 character. That said, I have managed to keep my head above water and I don’t think this is an unworthy use of my time and energy. 2020 has not yielded the personal and professional vision I had for myself, but it certainly forced me to grow in new and valuable ways. So while I have kept on trucking towards my goals, every step is a bit heavier than before. It hasn’t stopped me yet and I’m sure the weight will one day lift and I will feel some relief. Until then, I’m getting stronger through the effort.

Has 2020 been a time to hit the pause button on certain areas of your life? Has your focus become more on maintaining your mental health and keeping your head above water? Have you continued towards focusing on your goals, using this time at home to keep on trucking? This year was undeniably the weirdest, most challenging, and most rewarding year of my life. I'm aware that's not the case for everyone. For most people, this year was a continuous struggle. I know how fortunate I am to have experienced this period differently, but it wasn't because I didn't have a set of challenges and world-shifting decisions to make. It also came with a hefty amount of anxiety. Two months after the lockdown started, my husband and I decided to take advantage of our work-from-home situation and embark on an adventure across the coast. We were dreaming about a move to the west coast for a few years, but our job opportunities were always in NYC. We never felt comfortable leaving our jobs in the hopes of finding something different, but we experienced lockdown in a two-bedroom Brooklyn apartment and our lease was about to expire. Our landlord decided they would raise our rent and we broke. We didn't understand how someone would do that in the middle of a global pandemic, so we decided to make the best of the situation and take the plunge. Our life in California has been exciting. We've been working really hard on NY time, about 7 am to 4 pm, which allows us experience the end of the day in a much more relaxing way. We made a point to rent month-to-month in the desert while the pandemic is still going on (La Quinta, Palm Springs) and take advantage of the warm fall and winter here, while being in close proximity to mountain hikes and nature. At work, I'm feeling 10x more productive and I feel like my career has really benefitted from it. I've always struggled with working in open-spaces. My story points to three significant things this time at home during the pandemic: 1) I constantly moved around, which made me concentrate on the day-to-day experiences more wholesomely. Submerging myself in nature created a more relaxing state of mind, while still remaining almost entirely social distant. 2) The time at home opened up the door for ‘me’ time. I was sometimes able to create and feel inspired and when I wasn't, I rested. I didn't feel the need to do anything else, because I couldn't. I didn't have anywhere to go. I made it “okay” to clear time for myself. This is a lesson I will cherish forever. 3) I built my schedule in a way that fit me. I was never okay with my regular 10 am - 7 pm hours. I always felt like I never really enjoyed any part of the day. The mornings were cut short because of the commute and the need to get ready for work and in the evenings, it's already dark most of the time when the work day is over. I’d rather start my day much earlier and finish while there's still time in the day to walk around, sit outside, or just watch the sunset. It forced me to rethink my schedule, taught me what I really prefer, and enabled me to shift my life to fit that. This pandemic forced me to reevaluate everything I thought I knew about my lifestyle and about work-home balance. For a second, we all went into survival-mode and looked within ourselves and our closest circle to find what really matters. I found that I genuinely love my job; I need to live in proximity and access to nature; and that me and my husband truly are the best of friends. Learning so much about yourself in a year is really remarkable. With all the terrible things this pandemic has brought us, I choose to look at the glass half-full. I can’t for a second regret it.

Has 2020 been a time to hit the pause button on certain areas of your life? Has your focus become more on maintaining your mental health and keeping your head above water? Have you continued towards focusing on your goals, using this time at home to keep on trucking? The thin veil of what we thought life was "supposed" to be like has lifted for me. I would not want to go back to a world where we all kind of numbly move through it. I know on a personal level how numb I was to my own voice before 2020 and in a lot of ways many of us touring musicians have never really had a healthy break like this. I’ve talked to multiple musicians who all said that they cannot go back to our lifestyle pre-Covid and tour without any regard for our mental and physical health. We have to build a better world for all of us, and as a touring artist in America, we have to value and respect our artists in a deeper way. A universal problem we have in this country is that the survival of the fittest mentality has permeated every aspect of our culture and I dearly hope that changes. So, in my small part of the universe, I am finally taking time to actually listen to the sound of my own breathing after years of hardly knowing how to take a deep breath. It’s also given me time to remember why I started making music in the first place before all the business creeped into it. I know that I want to keep my love of music closer than ever before. https://thedandy.club/home/last-minute-gift-guide-for-all-the-moods monthly 0.5 2020-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1608561914741-0DDW1IAPOVE3O2F6COCB/tye.png The Dandy - Interviews - Last-Minute Gift Guide For All The Moods - Clare V.

Cue Somali chef and professional flavor enhancer Hawa Hassan, founder of small batch condiments company Basbaas and author of East African recipe book In Bibi’s Kitchen. Her revered 75-recipe cookbook weaves together culinary narratives belonging to various bibis aka grandmothers from eight African countries along the Indian Ocean. For this edition of Dandy Plates, we were lucky enough to get this simple and delicious Sukuma Wiki greens recipe from Hawa to try out at home. What we love the most about this recipe is that you can use any greens of your choice—be it collard greens, spinach, kale, etc—and most of the ingredients are likely already in your pantry! Low effort, big gains-—it’s a rarity. “These well-seasoned greens are similar to collards, which are popular in the American South with their fragrant potlikker and are a reminder of the undeniably deep threads that tie together African and African American cooking. Sukuma wiki means “to stretch the week”—in other words, using these greens, which are affordable and readily available, can help stretch any meal a bit further. Greens are a staple in Kenyan cooking and in most East African cooking in general. Serve this dish with rice for a traditional, healthy and completely vegan meal.” — Hawa Hassan INGREDIENTS SERVES 4 2 tablespoons canola oil 1large yellow onion, finely diced 1 teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon ground coriander ½ teaspoon ground turmeric 2large tomatoes, coarsely chopped 1pound kale and/or collards(or any dark leafy greens), tough stems discarded, coarsely chopped Kosher salt ½ cup water 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice DIRECTIONS Warm the oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot set over medium heat. Add the onion, cumin, coriander, and turmeric, and cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, greens, a large pinch of salt, and water. Stir everything well to combine, cover, and simmer until the greens are very tender and soft—about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the lemon juice, season the greens to taste with salt and serve immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few days and rewarmed in a heavy pot over low heat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1607363378134-2TFFWGH58U411IFAZLBQ/HawaHassan_LizClayman.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Hawa Hassan’s Sukuma Wiki Recipe https://thedandy.club/home/what-the-f-are-active-ingredients-we-asked-the-founder-of-circumference monthly 0.5 2020-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1606935510330-O3BBTAN61JDXQ8XAME0N/Circumference+Active+Botanical+Refining+Toner.png The Dandy - Interviews - What The F* Are Active Ingredients? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1606937096451-1K5O4J1QYDQ7YXN3P09C/Circumference+Active+Restorative+Moisturizing+Cream.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - What The F* Are Active Ingredients? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1606937686671-AIP0LU96GVIN8GP5WZUG/JINAKIM_BIO+%281%29.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - What The F* Are Active Ingredients? https://thedandy.club/home/julia-bainbridge monthly 0.5 2020-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1606313772116-TCRZ8EMK6FM2QGGXF0I2/wow.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Julia Bainbridge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1606313591345-9KI8RWJSPDHWCTFX0MYH/Good+Drinks_COVER.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Julia Bainbridge Photo: Alex Lau https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1606313513245-G3QHUBZMJ965FQ8A1POA/Bainbridge_Julia+by+Theodore+Samuels.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Julia Bainbridge Photo: Theodore Samuels We were curious to know more about writer and former Bon Appétit editor Julia Bainbridge after seeing her non-alcoholic cocktail recipe book Good Drinks in our internet sleuthing. If for whatever reason you’re taking a break from drinking or simply sitting one night out, this recipe book is full of inventive cocktails that look just like the real thing. As it turns out, Julia is not sober, but chooses to live an alcohol-free lifestyle. She’s also the host of The Lonely Hour, a podcast dedicated to de-stigmatizing loneliness and underscoring the joys of solitude. We spoke to Julia about navigating familial alcohol use disorder, how the pandemic has changed the way many of us are approaching relationships, and the difference between loneliness and alone-ness—among other things. It’s a good read!

Whatever political ideology you align with, we can all agree on one thing: the political discourse in this country is deeply fractured. There’s an onus on all of us now more than ever to be civically engaged and fight for what’s right, but what about the onus we have to question all political leaders, their motives, and the media that informs our reality? Unsurprisingly, since Trump took office, cable news ratings have surged and late-night shows with a heavy political bent have experienced massive growth. The demonizing of a hot-headed, pompous, and orange-colored financial industry type has given the media establishment a steady stream of revenue and even more power over the “right” and “wrong” ways an American can think—which essentially boils down to “racist” and “non-racist.” In alignment with the president’s stark rhetoric, a media script has emerged that is rigid and tired with little room for nuance or original thought. In fact, nuance and original thought is not encouraged; it’s frowned upon and rarely featured in mainstream press. We can’t forget though, that Obama paved the way for Trump’s ascendancy. It’s clear that President Obama fit the aesthetic bill for the American people: he had swag, he worked his way up the ladder, he was of immigrant descent, and eloquent. Trump does not fit the aesthetic bill: he’s brash, misogynistic, and inarticulate, but he still did something that Obama did not do. He spoke to the American people who the media establishment left behind—and however cringe-worthy that faction of the country may be to you—it is 100% worth examining as we move forward with establishment-backed president elect, Joe Biden. This leads us to some hard questions: Can someone who has made racist comments do anything good? Why wouldn’t Democrats and Republicans work together on issues that they in fact ideologically aligned upon (as you’ll see below)? Who benefits from fostering partisan divisiveness? Who profits from the woke narrative? Why is the wealth gap growing at exorbitant rates? These are some questions below we were lucky enough to ask Batya Ungar- Sargon, opinion editor at the Forward and ADL & Aspen Institute’s new Civil Society Fellow. https://thedandy.club/home/dandy-plates-double-chocolate-rye-pecan-cookies-by-caroline-schiff monthly 0.5 2020-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1605891266395-ZV46MDS6ZQLQQ8W7P483/23661599-174C-4D58-957A-2E450669EF45.JPG The Dandy - Interviews - Double Chocolate Rye Pecan Cookies by Caroline Schiff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1605892250356-45D8G44I3INWT00ZASNB/7CBEC9BB-0848-4671-B89F-6098560A3333.JPG The Dandy - Interviews - Double Chocolate Rye Pecan Cookies by Caroline Schiff https://thedandy.club/home/dandy-plates-winter-wines-by-meg-mcneil monthly 0.5 2020-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1605799132016-OQBMC7FK7XB06GLGKQDG/enderle-moll-grauburgunder-2019.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Winter Wines by Meg McNeill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1605799834575-MIAM59K0A4G9B6K2WW39/monte-bernardi-retromarcia-chianti-classico-2018.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Winter Wines by Meg McNeill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1605799971053-M4Q2U5QXASK0RJ26L5A3/les-lunes-cosmic-red-2019.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Winter Wines by Meg McNeill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1605803924000-O2KCP3KYH5FWPKXNREG3/IMG_0484.JPG The Dandy - Interviews - Winter Wines by Meg McNeill Winter wines, anyone?

Similar to many women we know, we truly value the experience of shopping in-person. The ease of online shopping cannot eclipse the feeling of gliding your hands through soft textures and seeing the thoughtful presentation of beautiful things. Also—we literally dread going to the post office. Sry, USPS. To highlight this amazing shoppe and learn more about the new consumer shopping experience, we asked Alessandra a few questions about how her business has pivoted since the pandemic and what she’s gone through to set up a new way of working. If you’re ever in upstate NY, The Velvet Maple is a GEM and features an array handmade and internationally-sourced items at pretty fair prices. https://thedandy.club/home/we-all-deserve-a-bath-right-now monthly 0.5 2020-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1604688393247-N4LFC31Y7FP4XHOYMCPJ/dp.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - We All Deserve a Bath Right Now - Deep Steep Bubble Bath These grapefruit-scented bath bubbles smell incredible.

It’s no one’s fault really—except maybe the culture’s obsession with the celebrity thrust before you—-but producers are the brain magic behind so much of the song, but get the least credit. We were doing some research on female music producers and came across TRAKGIRL aka Shakari Linder, an incredibly talented producer, songwriter and entrepreneur who has worked with artists like Jhene Aiko and Omarion and is potentially cooking something up now with Mark Ronson. The up-and-coming hip hop producer is also using her platform in the male-dominated music industry to highlight women in music with The 7% Series, an initiative created to unify all of her women peers music, from producers and engineers to lyricists and artists. As an innovator in her field, TRAKGIRL’s production style is deepened and differentiated by her vast exposure to all musical genres. Whether it’s culling from jazz syncopation, the rhythm and blues of Quincy Jones, or the shamanistic sampling of our dear Yeezy, TRAKGIRL soaks up the sounds of the greats and infuses that amalgamation into a tone that’s uniquely her own.

How are you moving through the dips in motivation that even the most ambitious people face right now? When I get overwhelmed or nervous or stressed I have a couple of techniques. First, I stop doing whatever I was doing the minute before and I move—literally. Often this means I walk to the kitchen or outside where I do a few stretches and then take three deep breaths in and out (this resets your mind and is a scientifically proven stress reliever). Second, I put things into perspective and think about all I have and all the good in my life. That usually just takes a minute or two and then I go back to work. If you’re having a bad day, do you accept it and allow yourself to be “off” that day? Or do you push yourself to move through it? I tend to push through everything. I believe there is always an answer, a new route to try, a new hour ahead. With that said, I use the techniques I mentioned above a lot. There are days I walk to the kitchen to reset more than 10 times! For me, it's important to focus on the positive and not the negative. However, when I get very overwhelmed and nothing seems to be helping, I call it a day. This happens probably once a year to me (and oddly, it happened this past weekend) and when I realize it's that kind of bad day, I give into it. I allow myself to watch TV for six hours straight or lay in bed and do nothing but think horrible thoughts for hours. We can't have good without bad, so at those times I recognize the need to do whatever the F I want and wake up the next day ready to take on anything. Have you tried anything new to make yourself feel better during quarantine, or did you already have your go-to self-soothing methods? I haven't showered since April. That sounds crazy but hear me out: I started only taking baths and it has been AMAZING! It gives me quiet reflection and alone time. I usually listen to podcasts or a book on Audible, burn candles, and at night I drink red wine. I mean, LIVING.

How are you moving through the dips in motivation that even the most ambitious people face right now? The pandemic has certainly taken me on an emotional ride. I'm not immune and not pretending to be. I was for a while and it did me no good. Our rapidly changing world has forced me to really consider the big life questions I've used ambition around my career to put off for the last few years. Looking at those things directly and trying to muster up a real sense of hope has unsurprisingly impacted my creative motivations a lot. Questions around ethics, the purpose behind what I do and the companies I align myself with have rightly come to the forefront. I think I've always had a sense of creative morality, but it was maybe the second or third box I checked when taking on a project. I suppose my motivations aren't just recovering from a dip; they're completely changing. That said, I can't and don't dwell on the heavy stuff all the time. I think a lot about how to just enjoy life now. I remind myself regularly how much I actually love being a designer. It's so easy to get frustrated and discouraged in the day-to-day. Taking the long view is the antidote. Even simple reminders are effective. Like, isn't it wild that I get to spend my time designing book covers, or laying out magazines, or commissioning photographers, or art directing illustrators? It is. It really is. If you’re having a bad day, do you accept it and allow yourself to be “off” that day? Or do you push yourself to move through it? I accept it. I'm a firm believer in not forcing it. If I push myself on an 'off' day, more often than not I end up scrapping the work or I find myself in a place where my morale is even lower. I'm lucky that in my job I have that kind of flexibility—but really, I think any creative job should. Frankly, nothing creatives do is so urgent that we shouldn't be afforded a half day or day to recoup when needed. Creativity on the clock is tough. Have you tried anything new to make yourself feel better during quarantine, or did you already have your go-to self-soothing methods? I planted a garden. Getting up and watering plants first thing in the morning is the best. I've also decided to take up sewing once I get back to Brooklyn (I've been with family on the West Coast for the last few months). It's something I've wanted to do in theory for years and now I'm ready to actually commit to the things I somehow never seemed to get to in the past. I've also been watching a lot of DIY YouTube. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1597792852022-HDHM547XTQIVWIF7NPZN/IMG_8415_1.JPG The Dandy - Interviews - Motivation During the Pandemic We’ve all encountered stale energy during the pandemic. How are you moving through the dips in motivation that even the most ambitious people face right now? That has been a major point of frustration for me as someone who typically doesn’t have any issues with self-motivating. Being in isolation and not knowing what the future holds get the best of me sometimes. I’m generally a very optimistic person and fully understand the concept of impermanence, but when you are a solo founder and you don’t have a team around you all day, that's when it gets rough. When that happens, I just take a break. I know that if I try to work when I’m not “feeling it” I won’t produce my best quality work. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so anything that I do needs to be done with thought and intention behind it and not just for the sake of crossing something off a to-do list. Then when I come back renewed from the stale slump, I’m much more productive and focused. What are some ways you self-talk yourself to a better place? If you’re having a bad day, do you accept it and allow yourself to be “off” that day? Or do you push yourself to move through it? On days like this, it can vary. There have been a couple of times where I just needed to call quits on a day and just do absolutely nothing. But then on other days, I’ll just write down a list of all the things I need to do and then focus on the ones that I actually want to do. That way I’m still being productive, but not torturing myself into doing something that won’t have the same love intent behind it. Also meditation is a great tool for grounding and resetting to zero. I find that when I start my day like that, it sets the tone for what’s to come and I usually have productive days then. Also calling a friend and talking on the phone helps. Nobody understands this life more than other entrepreneurs. Have you tried anything new to make yourself feel better during quarantine, or did you already have your go-to self-soothing methods? Going on longer walks outside with my dog so that I can not only get fresh air and movement but also a change in scenery. I’m so sick of looking at the same walls and furniture all day! Also taking time to do a workout with one of the fitness apps I’ve downloaded helps to break up my day and gives me a renewed energy afterwards. Anything I can do to feel like I’ve accomplished something and did something healthy is literally what’s keeping my life force strong.

If the pandemic does continue on into the next two years, would you consider moving somewhere else? I've lived in New York for 26 years, and while I would still not call myself a New Yorker I am definitely ride-or-die. Since the beginning of quarantine, my Brooklyn neighborhood has felt like a safety net to me: we have a park to walk in, a supermarket to walk to, and seen people around us living, working and using the city as safely as they can. While I have the personal connections and resources to go somewhere else short term, all of us felt more comfortable continuing to live and work in our own space, rather than seeking some new normal elsewhere. I think the stories of a mass exodus to the suburbs and the country are overblown. Honestly, most people in New York City do not have that choice to leave, and that gives those who have stayed every motivation to dig in, build back and innovate for current conditions. I hope that citizens, philanthropy and the government will support renters, small businesses, and new entrepreneurs rather than focusing on the big corporate entities that should have planned their own safety nets. Many landlords were letting storefronts go vacant before the pandemic in hopes of landing a chain store. As we've seen the lack of resilience many of those big businesses are, perhaps they will get a clue. Doing more within walking and biking distance is going to continue to be important and neighborhood-level changes could and should reflect that.

We’re curious how you're feeling about being in the city right now and what your hopes are for what a post-pandemic NYC could be. I think the city took a deep breath, held it, and is now exhaling for an extra long time. There are many things we have lost along the way; people, jobs, and homes. It’s been a hard time for the city, and it’s forced us to discover a new outlook on how we live together, share space, and take care of each other. In some ways, the new ways that people move through the city and spend time seem to have led to a new mindset. Everlasting FOMO is something that I think isn’t so common anymore—that’s one thing I am especially happy to see left behind. The city without it has become a magical place where you can finally enjoy yourself, your loved ones and the city’s hidden corners. I have seen more neighborhoods than ever, spent more time with myself and friends, and even picked up a forgotten habit of calling and even showing up at my friends’ places without notice. One initiative I was very excited to see to emerge is the city’s introduction of temporary outdoor dining seating, overtaking sidewalks and roadway parking. We should all enjoy how beautiful, DYI, and unique that is are this summer. It’s good to see these spontaneous versions of outdoor life before a more standardized. and polished. According to the Russian proverb, there is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution, and as expected, the success of this outdoor dining solution is being looked into by the Mayor to become a permanent warm weather approach to dining in New York City. My hope is that the people of the city emerge from the pandemic with a greater appreciation for such things they had taken for granted before: their communities, public spaces, the small business and people behind them, the built environment, the outdoors in general. If post-pandemic NYC adds this layer of connected living, it’ll not only regain its past appeal, but exceed it. And the only way to achieve it is to DIY New York together into what we all will love more than ever. Have you grown disillusioned with city life in any way or are you a ride-or-die New Yorker? If the pandemic does continue on into the next two years, would you consider moving somewhere else? Four years into our relationship, I am still in a honeymoon phase with the city. New York City was so brilliantly designed as a street/block system. I consider the streets to be the most interesting places in New York, both as paths between places, and as destinations in and of themselves. The streets have been a great support for me, as sources of entertainment, and places for walks, meditation, connections, and community. It’s the largest continuous stage for events that we have, and I don’t think even a pandemic can take that away from us. This is what New York has always been to me, the streets and the life you see happening.

We’re curious how you're feeling about being in the city right now and what your hopes are for what a post-pandemic NYC could be. New York City will always be magic. No matter how manic-pixie- rom-com it sounds, I’ve always known that I was going to live in New York at some point in my life, so it really felt like I was fulfilling a lifelong dream when I moved to the city in January. Having the coronavirus hit three months into that dream never deterred me. I came home to LA to quarantine with family knowing full well I’d be back, which really speaks to how much I believe in New York. Not even a pandemic could keep me away! I’m actually heading back to the city later this month, and as corny as it sounds, if you believe in New York, New York believes in you back. You get these little signs that reassure you that you’re on the right path and that everything is meant to be. I first felt that with my apartment, as it’s on the same street that my grandma grew up on in the 40s! Knowing that I’ll be living a few blocks away from her childhood home really gives me a sense of belonging that I don’t think I’ve felt anywhere else. It feels meant to be, full circle, all part of something bigger than just myself. I feel a deeper sense of connection with the city because of this. As someone who has moved 10+ times in the past 4 years, it makes me feel rooted and like I’m here for good. Of course, New York now looks very different from the New York I left in the beginning of March. So much of what makes New York special has been put on hold— theater, concerts, museums, crowds etc. I definitely think I’ll feel the absence of that part of New York and it will take some getting used to. But even with those things gone, New Yorkers have found ways to keep going, and that really shows the perseverance and drive that we have to make the best of what we’ve got. https://thedandy.club/home/how-to-support-artists-in-limbo monthly 0.5 2020-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1596651223753-OCMYWE91PK6OAXN4U000/llouise.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - How To Support Artists in Limbo Credit: Artware Editions composition of Louise Bourgeois’ textile https://thedandy.club/home/how-to-get-rid-of-maskne monthly 0.5 2020-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1596399316444-D2YHVI1OHRLOSFF6L8K1/Screen+Shot+2020-08-02+at+3.52.52+PM.png The Dandy - Interviews - How To Get Rid of Maskne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1596402787878-Y6PCVM524RNWXTWSR5PG/ursa.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - How To Get Rid of Maskne Lastly, these individually wrapped Ursa Major Essential Face Wipes are great to have in your bag to remove oil and grime without stripping skin of moisture.

This week’s feature is dedicated to deconstructing our feelings on the girl boss archetype. Girl boss hysteria kicked off with Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean In and was properly branded by lead girl boss Sophia Amoruso. This commodification of a feminine ideal invited a new wave of contemporary feminism that was predicated on grinding day in and day out while still keeping fit, maintaining strong relationships, and taking lavish vacations. While this portrayal of a confident and powerful woman is something that holds much merit, it also presents its fair share of quandaries resulting in an unattainable ideal that dovetails gender with certain expectations that don’t always ring true. It also implies that a strong leader is determined by one’s gender, when let’s be real—we’ve all had great bosses and shitty bosses and their sexual organs didn’t have anything to do with that. Thankfully, burn-out culture has been replaced with an emphasis on self-care. Prioritizing mental health and dedicating time to repair our wounded world is what feels right. Being strong, confident and compassionate will never go out of style. To shed more light on this topic, we asked these three talented women how their feelings have evolved since the onset of girl boss craze and how they currently define success in their own lives.

Cue Boozie, a ready-to-drink cocktail company created by lifestyle entrepreneur Kasey Dixon. A few years back, Dixon started out by building her own personal brand centered on sharing her life. At first glance it appears she drank the “influencer” kool-aid, but upon further survey its pretty obvious why her platform SBK Living has been such a success. Dixon goes beyond sharing a pastiche that’s perfectly edited; she gets candid on topics like botox and breastfeeding, in addition to offering practical tips on home decor, recipes, and other intersectional lifestyle topics that appeal to her contemporaries.

We’re reflecting, potentially revising old stories, and ultimately hatching into a new way of thinking that’s still quite malleable. We take one step forward, one step back. We undergo feelings of loss, happiness, guilt, shame, gratitude, confusion (ET CETERA) and simply try to feel our way through some weird ass times. In this brand new series Unfiltered, The Dandy asks three talented women the same exact questions to highlight one specific relatable topic—something we likely all have a strong opinion on or story about. For our first edition, we spoke with (from top to counter-clockwise) Fashion model and entrepreneur Hanno Riak, Yoga instructor Josie Schweitzer and artist Sarah Thibault about the evolution of their relationships with themselves and others over the past few months. These women highlight the highs and lows of reflection; relationships shifts with their significant others; the trials of dating in covid; and learning more about the power of being set free from old habits. Thank you to these three vulnerable, beautiful and intelligent women for sharing their thoughts—we appreciate you so much! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1594228368305-JHDNJLBB2B7RKPNB0LBI/IMG_7491.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Relationships During The Pandemic https://thedandy.club/home/christi-johnson monthly 0.5 2020-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1593707429564-FFRGG7PKDCHX3I2VBICV/IMG_3465.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Christi Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1593707338111-Q6YXBZ3ZBDBCJP88LIO7/IISV0192+%281%29.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Christi Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1593707260836-4RB215QPXR3A6K4NVKI9/igP1150749.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Christi Johnson https://thedandy.club/home/botany-boxs-cait-khosla monthly 0.5 2020-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1593615695260-LJ6A18CR6EXCTTOQMXY3/IMG_7269.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Botany Box x Inked By Dani https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1593615803330-9N65BVWQ6BO5BV4LL0IV/IMG_4634+%281%29.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Botany Box x Inked By Dani https://thedandy.club/home/jess-williamson monthly 0.5 2020-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1593442074342-6V23TMU58IXB4Q68630M/IMG_7215.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Jess Williamson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1593441293041-JQCY4XWWE8VYWH85PEJC/jesswilliamson.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Jess Williamson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1593442121891-CX79OF4STE9H9LZJPYHL/jess2.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Jess Williamson https://thedandy.club/home/say-word-with-annie-hamilton monthly 0.5 2020-06-23 https://thedandy.club/home/crystal-moselle-dandy monthly 0.5 2020-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1592838805538-7UHTNLZD8ZK6X5NV1B91/IMG_7083-1.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Crystal Moselle Photo Credit: Crystal Moselle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1592160731335-YE9UEY7N8BABNDK4E9A5/Crystal+Moselle+Headshot-+Brigitte+Lacombe.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Crystal Moselle https://thedandy.club/home/tejaris-roma-patel monthly 0.5 2020-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1592239040899-Q5JQB9SD6WZB98L6NAJ4/tejari.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Tejari’s Roma Patel For The Dandy’s Shop series, we caught up with Tejari founder Roma Patel. Patel founded her nutritional blend company Tejari to create clean, organic protein powders with no added sugar or preservatives. The entrepreneur is a former executive at Coca Cola and NBC Universal, and those experiences opened her eyes to the shortage of on-the-go protein powders that actually taste good. The Dandy has tried the Strawberry flavor in smoothies and yogurt bowls, and we’re big fans. You can also sprinkle Tejari blends in any of your baking mixtures to add a little nutrition to anything that’s typically void of nutrients. Patel breaks down Tejari flavors and ingredients and shares some awesome recipes below! Tell us a bit about the blends Tejari offers: Golden Banana, aka the most classic of our blends, is the OG that started it all. It has ingredients like fiber-packed bananas, immunity-boosting turmeric and anti-inflammatory cinnamon. This blend is perfect for making Golden Milk, pancakes and more. Blueberry + Spinach is a true go-to if you’re looking to easily incorporate veggies and fruits into a snack or smoothie. Our blueberry flavor is subtly sweet, full of antioxidants, high in fiber and lower on the glycemic index. I love it in yogurt and shakes. Strawberry is a total childhood favorite, but made without any unnecessary additives. This organic, clean blend boasts the natural sweetness of strawberries and smooth richness of banana. It’s pretty much the perfect alternative to sugar-packed milkshakes and traditional strawberry milk. What's some of your favorite ways to incorporate Tejari blends in your everyday foods? The possibilities are endless when it comes to our Tejari blends. Smoothies are a household favorite, hands down. It’s an undeniably easy way for me and my family to get our nutrition for the day. Plus, it’s so filling! I also love incorporating Tejari into energy bites and even our favorite baked goods. As we’re spending more time at home, we’ve been able to experiment with vegan cheesecakes and protein-filled energy balls. What led you to create Tejari? The inspiration behind Tejari was honestly a mix of my own childhood and how I wanted to raise my boys. Nutrition and wellness have always been incredibly important to both me and my husband, so we wanted to make it a priority for our family. However, with a hectic lifestyle, traveling often and limited time for self-care, I desperately needed healthy to be easier. So, I looked for convenient options that didn’t include empty calories, tons of added sugar or cheap ingredients. Easy, right? Not so much. Unfortunately, this pursuit failed miserably. So I decided to partner with the most incredible nutritionists and food scientists I know with the intention of pushing all the boundaries. The result? Organic, vegan protein blends with simple ingredients that are delicious, good for you, and beyond enjoyable to incorporate into your day in a variety of ways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1592241981742-KO1F1KO35EE12FI59II5/blends.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Tejari’s Roma Patel https://thedandy.club/home/vanessa-carlton monthly 0.5 2020-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1591802298155-M5FQFZ1TMF5PUPOI3DPV/vanesa.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Vanessa Carlton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1591800662830-NV7M5KDMQ5FB8QNN1X05/vanessa.jpeg The Dandy - Interviews - Vanessa Carlton The Dandy spoke with musician Vanessa Carlton before the murder of George Floyd and followed up with her this week. The brilliant musician and classically trained pianist is not only a powerhouse of an artist, but she’s also fervently progressive in her political opinions. Refreshingly, Carlton not only talks the talk, but takes action. She’s been incredibly vocal in support of the Black community and how her city of Nashville should mobilize going forward, specifically to reform the mayor’s budget proposal to invest in black and indigenous communities and divest in police and incarceration. Her sixth album Love Is An Art debuted in late March, preceded by Liberman, one of The Dandy’s favorite albums of the past few years. We have always identified with Carlton’s confessional-style writing that’s reflective yet wholly present. Her music acknowledges the past, entirely self-aware that all of our prior moments are weaved in with how we welcome our present. The way we handle uncomfortable situations. Our relationships with others and ourselves. Our fears and hopes. It’s all in Carlton’s music. She’s a truth-teller, a genuinely good person, and an incredible songwriter—all of which (and so much more) make Vanessa Carlton so damn Dandy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1591800758311-U5CHIC1Z468NGZKUS485/loveisanart.png The Dandy - Interviews - Vanessa Carlton https://thedandy.club/home/aishwarya-iyer-brightland monthly 0.5 2021-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613774042386-RM0OFREUHRTAO276L4RA/Brightland_3655.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Brightland’s Aishwarya Iyer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613774056289-481RU8YTOO7X9QS8LETD/bland.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Brightland’s Aishwarya Iyer https://thedandy.club/home/support-businesses-owned-by-black-women monthly 0.5 2020-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1591197659088-LF69LXZL6PIBT68RAT9D/angela.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Support Businesses Owned by Black Women Angela Richardson, Founder of PUR Home Angela Richardson is CEO and product developer of PUR Home, a non-toxic household cleaning product company that espouses an eco-friendly lifestyle. Richardson’s love of non-toxic products began a few years back when she started making natural bars of soap in her kitchen. That interest has since evolved into a company that educates consumers on how to use effective and non-toxic cleaning products for better personal health and longevity. The Dandy is a fan of PUR Home’s Liquid Laundry Detergent and Oxygen Whitener & Odor Remover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1591141070551-O3BWH8MXNUBOD1TE23Q1/hollie.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Support Businesses Owned by Black Women Holly McWhorter and her partner founded Plant Apothecary, an organic skincare and bath products company in 2012. She wanted to create a personal care line that offered well-made, cruelty-free skincare products without being overly emphatic about the “luxury” of it all. The result is Plant Apothecary, a brand democratizing the organic wellness space with simple-yet-effective skincare products at a fair price point (with not to mention, great branding!) The Dandy loves Plant Apothecary’s Super Soak Organic Healing Bath and Super Facial Organic Oil Moisturizer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1591144852804-6ILYVPIRT6NNUHX8URL3/harrieet.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Support Businesses Owned by Black Women Jeannine A. Cook, Founder of Harriett’s Bookshop Jeannine A. Cook describes her store in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood as “if black girl magic were a bookshop.” Count us in. The former teacher’s mission is to celebrate women artists, authors, and activists. The space itself is warm and inviting with a selection of books featuring great minds, just like a bookshop should be. This quote from Philly Mag pretty much sums up how damn Dandy Jeannine A. Cook is: “I’m a rebellious spirit, determined to do what I think is going to support people and their freedom. That’s what the collection does. Doing that under the name ‘Harriet Tubman’ feels really fitting.” Support Harriett’s Bookshop by purchasing from their online store (which is currently under construction). If you’re in Philly, buy books here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1591198352718-TEJWZZA9O65XNKNQBV1G/carla.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Support Businesses Owned by Black Women Illustration credit: Carla Llanos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1591198826346-V6YOTMYPGPSWWCT26SEN/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-06-02%2Bat%2B3.31.16%2BPM.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Support Businesses Owned by Black Women Golde is a Brooklyn-based wellness brand that offers good-for-you products like turmeric powders and vegan face masks. Trinity Mouzon Wofford founded the brand in 2017 to create a space for wellness-oriented products that were more accessible and inclusive than anything of its ilk on the market. The young entrepreneur changed the game in 2019, becoming the youngest black woman ever to launch a brand at Sephora. We’re especially fond of Golde’s Matcha Turmeric Tonic and Clean Greens Face Mask. Holly McWhorter, Founder of Plant Apothecary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1591197022828-MUPEZJ9PPMCXV2S1SDJF/nancyines.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Support Businesses Owned by Black Women Nancy Twine, Founder of Briogeo Nancy Twine started haircare company Briogeo right out of her East Village apartment. As a former Goldman Sachs executive, Twine knew a thing or two about managing finance and decided to dive headfirst into her passion for natural haircare. Using her grandmother’s beauty care recipes and a team of chemists, Twine developed performance-driven haircare products with a relatable tone and beautiful packaging. Briogeo makes effective formulas for ALL hair types. The Dandy loves Briogeo’s Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin Volumizing Shampoo and Don’t Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning Mask. https://thedandy.club/home/eleanor-paintbox-dandy monthly 0.5 2020-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588018270795-7TYSC23ZRIKJJ7Y5YLX3/topcats.png The Dandy - Interviews - Paintbox's Eleanor Langston https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588018336881-HJVGMKYX5HYSN02FXLFR/nails.png The Dandy - Interviews - Paintbox's Eleanor Langston https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588724467632-HDBRUGA82AX4XH5JERLU/eleanor.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Paintbox's Eleanor Langston https://thedandy.club/home/hunter-harris monthly 0.5 2020-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1590447354196-AYAH61HY4PXC7X3GX8VU/HUNTER.png The Dandy - Interviews - Hunter Harris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1590449167247-29FZLVICSGW22TYL1RIV/metro.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Hunter Harris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1590449009644-PPQB5TS767O4UJ5S9370/grilly.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Hunter Harris Photo Credit: Brent Herrig https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1590449085777-SJ7LMP4CJ9JB92WJ1NOE/FB30024_FB9056.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Hunter Harris https://thedandy.club/home/pia-baroncini monthly 0.5 2021-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613774123963-FZVMXIS48IJYUJXPDQDK/image.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Pia Baroncini https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613774112081-N5ECX7PO4C68HN8M16UE/pia.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Pia Baroncini https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613774153081-96363F6N23VNMK4G6G5L/image-1.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Pia Baroncini https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1613774181936-B3N687UOIOEKBVUB7D7P/IMG_6511.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Pia Baroncini https://thedandy.club/home/tata-harper monthly 0.5 2021-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1618516858678-A23335UR7Q6SOIWNA3EY/waterlock_lock_moisturizer.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Tata Harper's founder - Interview about skincare, routine and their natural beauty products https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1618516824150-OMB50ZJYVXK9OYMK1MEH/Supernaturals_Elixir_Vitae.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Tata Harper's founder - Interview about skincare, routine and their natural beauty products https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1618516617559-E19U3WHGLIQBBNFE26DL/clean_beauty_products_+for_women.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Tata Harper's founder - Interview about skincare, routine and their natural beauty products https://thedandy.club/home/credo-beautys-annie-jackson monthly 0.5 2020-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588965715949-3HB3A84ZY48Z94NCJGJ1/superyou-bottle.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Credo Beauty’s Annie Jackson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588965645791-Y9BU3SJJ8UABRQ7WZQ1D/annie+jackson.jpg The Dandy - Interviews - Credo Beauty’s Annie Jackson To kick-off the launch of The Dandy's Shop, we chatted with Annie Jackson, Co-founder & VP of Merchandising at clean beauty company, Credo Beauty. The marketing/business guru began her career at Estee Lauder and graduated to Sephora before disrupting the natural beauty space with Credo. Not only does Credo certify that their products are natural and non-toxic, but also that they’re efficacious. Once retail shops opens up again, New Yorkers can go visit Credo’s brick-and-mortar shop in North Williamsburg.

This Everlane bag is made of Italian leather and has the essential cross-body strap. Plus, it’s chic and great for running errands/going out (when that happens again). $148 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589054054606-P55AT69BWZ5H2GY8QNA2/pillow.jpg Shop - Dandy Closet Brooklinen: Silk Pillowcase There’s nothing more plush than a silk pillowcase. Silk is cool on the skin, feels lovely, and can apparently prevent facial creases. Not sure of that veracity, but it sure does feel nice to sleep on. $47 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589059232268-EDBWOH9NZ2AJ3V6XH124/shoes.jpg Shop - Dandy Closet Soludos: Cherries Smoking Slippers Does it get any cuter than this? These Soludos slip-ons are our kind of shoe: simple to put on and charmingly accented. Pair with jean shorts and a black tee, and you’re in business. They also go up to size 11. $75 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589054291953-Y69PBKI1FKTDPO0OTS9A/brush.jpg Shop - Dandy Closet Mason Pearson: Handy Hair Brush There’s no hair brush brand more iconic and well-known than Mason Pearson. While the price is a bit steep, this brush will last you forever. It also looks quite pretty adorning the bathroom countertop. $175 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589054305551-Z05WJG70UUUKBVKRQYJT/dinosaur.jpg Shop - Dandy Closet Mod Cloth: Sketch-a-Saurus Sweatshirt Kind of obsessed with this dino sketch sweatshirt. Since we’re spending more time at home, may as well stock up on some staple cozy items. $45 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589054044069-JMPCW5K44DHL9PQYZ0UP/anthroclips.png Shop - Dandy Closet Anthropologie: Rainbow Hair Clips We love a clip moment. They’re a simple hair accessory that can add such a fun burst of color. Especially for people who only wear black, white and gray. These are super cute and look great on any hair type. $24 https://thedandy.club/the-dandys-shop/dandy-beauty monthly 0.5 2020-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588350357618-E66ZZ1JRD4RUOTY6ZBGJ/hourglass.png Shop - Dandy Beauty Hourglass: Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil This eye brown pencil is beloved by The Dandy and all of our friends. Steer clear of brow gels (which can cause hair loss) and go with a smooth-gliding pencil like this one. $34 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589142295088-ZDYEANLICPNWI6ATHYP9/glossier.jpg Shop - Dandy Beauty Glossier: Balm Dot Calm Trio Glossier makes the best lip balms in the game. Formulated with bees wax & lanolin, these formulas go on smoothly and taste pretty bomb. $30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588350118186-V3E0QPWE5F83TIAHXY89/LUSH2.png Shop - Dandy Beauty Paintbox: Power Couple, Like Lush & Flora This retro-inspired duo summons the color palette of Palm Springs and Miami Beach in the 70s. It’s also cruelty-free and vegan. And hella chic! $40 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589142256346-J3UP1PGD5P9QZCFRJYYP/concealer.jpg Shop - Dandy Beauty Laura Mercier: Flawless Fusion Concealer The Dandy is exceptionally devoted to finding the best concealers for under-eye circles.

Use the light brown color on the right first, and then sweep up your cheekbones and jawline with the light pink color in the middle. Touch up as you wish with the color on the left. The result is an instant glow that’s not sparkly or makeup-looking. It’s the best highlight palette out there. $64 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1603227233484-SM2ZNYSREV07V3B81XT1/guasha.jpg Shop - Dandy Beauty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589139712858-XREGTK14A8QCRD03ZT34/jomalone1.jpg Shop - Dandy Beauty Jo Malone: Orange Blossom Perfume Scents are obviously subjective, but Jo Malone’s orange-blossom-lily-scented concoction is one of the most delightfully elegant scents. It’s noticeable but not over-powering. $140 https://thedandy.club/the-dandys-shop/skincare monthly 0.5 2021-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589140410166-80JV0BZV9C1RNLJS97AE/evolve.jpg Shop - Dandy Skincare Credo Beauty: Daily Renew Facial Cream This moisturizer glides on like a glove & is mixed with all the good stuff.

Their black soap and light controlling lotion have been in The Dandy’s family for a long time. This truly takes every speck of dirt/make-up/debris off your face and leaves you with that clean tingly feeling. $68 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589140309013-EPR307Y86YWFUSITJYY7/gloss.png Shop - Dandy Skincare Glossier: Moisturizing Moon Mask Want to make your skin glow?

This one from OSEA feels smooth and pure AND takes off the day’s makeup with a few splashes of water. $ 54 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589140347297-774O7WRC27IMPYPUYE8J/osea2.jpg Shop - Dandy Skincare Osea: Hydrating Essential Oil As far as face oils go, this is one is pretty glorious.

They come in a variety of flavors and quantities. All things considered, this cereal tastes pretty damn good with milk. And the packs are a great size to throw in your bag. $30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1589141232868-B0PRVFEVNLHL99HLVIP6/olive-oil.jpg Shop - Dandy Pantry Brightland: The Olive Oil Duo Brightland’s olives make for delicious-tasting olive oil hand-sourced straight from a farm in California.

dino sketch sweatshirt. Since we’re spending more time at home, may as well stock up on some staple cozy items. This sweatshirt will take us into summer nights and fall days. $45 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588789963892-O6SPHSNE9F8E7PGPTXJ8/anthroclips.png Dandy-Closet Test Anthropologie: Rainbow Hair Clips We love a clip moment. They’re a simple hair accessory that can add such a fun burst of color. Especially for people who only wear black, white and gray. These are super cute and look great on any hair type. $24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588963975413-AOPGIFSD9PQXLI0TQBR7/brooklinen.jpg Dandy-Closet Test Brooklinen: Silk Pillowcase There’s nothing more plush than a silk pillowcase. Silk is cool on the skin, feels lovely, and can apparently prevent facial creases. Not sure of that veracity, but it sure does feel nice to sleep on. $47 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588790497805-53FGQ5NH7HHD0OKQOXI4/everlane.png Dandy-Closet Test Everlane: Lunchbox Bag As much as we love purses, we can rarely bring ourselves to buy any bag that isn’t functional. This Everlane bag is made of Italian leather and has the essential cross-body strap. Plus, it’s chic and great for running errands/going out (when that happens again). $148 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1588793853641-TUM46S4MD3Y06NWOEA5Y/mason.png Dandy-Closet Test Everlane: Lunchbox Bag As much as we love purses, we can rarely bring ourselves to buy any bag that isn’t functional.

These Soludos slip-ons are our kind of shoe: simple to put on and charmingly accented. Pair with jean shorts and a black tee, and you’re in business. They also go up to size 11. $75 https://thedandy.club/jane-belfry daily 0.75 2020-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1582266419058-WLJWQXZOV15PJ7KDL2QU/TheDandy_Illustrations_Glasses300.png Jane Belfry https://thedandy.club/denise-vasi daily 0.75 2020-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1582266419058-WLJWQXZOV15PJ7KDL2QU/TheDandy_Illustrations_Glasses300.png Denise Vasi https://thedandy.club/christi-johnson daily 0.75 2020-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1582266419058-WLJWQXZOV15PJ7KDL2QU/TheDandy_Illustrations_Glasses300.png Christi Johnson https://thedandy.club/jessica-lanyadoo daily 0.75 2020-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1582266419058-WLJWQXZOV15PJ7KDL2QU/TheDandy_Illustrations_Glasses300.png Jessica Lanyadoo https://thedandy.club/interviews-1 daily 0.75 2022-04-20 https://thedandy.club/marisel-salazar daily 0.75 2020-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1582266419058-WLJWQXZOV15PJ7KDL2QU/TheDandy_Illustrations_Glasses300.png Marisel Salazar https://thedandy.club/summer-and-sarah daily 0.75 2020-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1582266419058-WLJWQXZOV15PJ7KDL2QU/TheDandy_Illustrations_Glasses300.png Summer and Sarah https://thedandy.club/jess-tran daily 0.75 2020-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1582266419058-WLJWQXZOV15PJ7KDL2QU/TheDandy_Illustrations_Glasses300.png Jess Tran https://thedandy.club/mae daily 0.75 2020-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1582266419058-WLJWQXZOV15PJ7KDL2QU/TheDandy_Illustrations_Glasses300.png Mae Muller https://thedandy.club/julia-bainbridge daily 0.75 2020-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1582266419058-WLJWQXZOV15PJ7KDL2QU/TheDandy_Illustrations_Glasses300.png Julia Bainbridge https://thedandy.club/jessy-hodges daily 0.75 2020-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df3ac90f68ce8189f60c7cf/1582266419058-WLJWQXZOV15PJ7KDL2QU/TheDandy_Illustrations_Glasses300.png Jessy Hodges https://thedandy.club/dandy-plates daily 0.75 2020-12-03
