hi Miranda, I've been searching every recommendation / guide you've made this year to see if you name a real world example of the tonka bean soap in the motel room in All Fours! Connecting the olfactory experience with your writing would be the greatest gift.
OMG I'm FLYING HIGH. I am now the proud owner of Vintage 90s Byrnes & Baker Black Leather Jacket Cropped Motorcycle Women M $40.00!!!! Thank you all for giving me the courage by existing and being thirsty for blue lace.
My life is honestly better with these short clever essays periodically filling my inbox. Thank you, Miranda, for sharing your brilliance and humor between your books and art installations. This is the first gift guide to make me smile and laugh out loud. Yours is my favorite substack subscription.
When Kevin Killian was alive, we lived close by, and on any given phone call, or after running into each other at the market, he’d tell me something he just reviewed and then I FLEW home to read it. He has no peer! And whomever thought of doing collecting his reviews in hardback is a genius and a mitzvah-lover.
After reading All Fours twice back to back when it came out, and finding every book after that less captivating, I've been wondering what Miranda July would want us to read after All Fours??!! ❤️ As a new list idea
I also devoured all the novels by Chris Kraus (Torpor!) and all the Sally Rooney novels and short stories, but All Fours was something else. Thank you for that, Miranda, been telling everyone about it and so excited about the group chat!
I am so happy to discover Pope.L what a true artist. Love being here with you all. I have a group of mom friends we call our selves the hot mammas gone wild and we all have a young child and open(ish) queer friendly marriages. Your book is circulating like wild fire among us.
Oh I love this list and I love you. I don’t know how I feel I can say that and not feel creepy. But I think people do love artists. And in the old days (pre internet etc) it was all a one way relationship and the adoration was acceptable I guess cos we didn’t tell them directly (unless we wrote to their fan club? Is this a fan club?). But now expressing the love is a bit off isn’t? Like we have to be normal towards artists when engaging with them. But it would be weird to be very familiar with you. And yet I love you is even more than familiar. I don’t know, I’m 51 and waffling and everything is changing.

I have more to say about this, but it’s too soon. But you’re in the right place.❤️
looking forward to whatever is revealed! xx
Can confirm lip paint is made by witches. Adding Killian's book and tuning fork to my cart, tysm for the recommendations!

Fabulous list, Ms. July. I just purchased the blue teddy 🩵 🧸 The small appliqué flowers 🌸🌸🌸 put me over the edge. Thank you 🔥🔥
Zero pressure but I’d love to see♥️
Blue lace nightie with the leather jacket and lip paint screams Christmas morning to me.

The Pope.L backpack is super interesting, thanks for making us aware of this project!

Have you read Chris Kraus’ book After Kathy Acker? Non-fiction.
I decided to make a gift guide inspired by yours. I wish we could share images in captions because it is entirely visual.
make a substack post! I'd love to see.
I am thirsty for the Baby Blue lace lingery piece. May it be me making peace with myself

That sounds like a perfect group
I am somehow already in love with this lip product made by witches! Thanks for the tip.
I love The Blow! Haven’t listened to them in a while, thanks for the reminder.

How does one use this tuning fork for beauty purposes?
