Spent the day for an afternoon with wrote a poem about it. Found myself quite inspired by this “little” thing we call life.
What if it’s not about having to FIND the beauty in vetting but seeing the mundane and “ugly” in equal measure to that which we ogle over?
This. To me, is so beautiful.

Mundane
By DBT
 
Mundane,
But not entirely insane —
Martin Parr,
Parragraphotogrophar
Extraordinarrrr
 
I wonder if these people know
Their likeness here, immortalized
Ageless forever, quite the glow
Lens zoomed in, unscrutinized.

Thong riding High
T**s sunburnt
Cares not, for a why

I wonder if they know they’re frozen here mid-chew,
Ageless, embarrassed, and slightly askew.
 
Did they feel the click? The quiet theft?
A lifetime captured, nothing left.
 
Not interested at all
in what Beauty meant to you,
To me or them,
He saw something, to us anew.

He didn’t care for beauty’s coy disguise,
He wanted mustard stains and squinting eyes.
 
He left a legacy, making a pause, a self reflect
At the mirror of oneself,
Passing by — as we all do —
Until someone points a lens at you.

For my Dearest Irina, Happy Birthday My Queen!
✦ ✦ ✦

I remember our first trip,
Sitting back of the bus,
Running from site to site —
Yet, no hurry, no fuss.

Between spiritual stops,
Desert sleeping, bloody hot —
No four seasons there, baby,
Our wits, though — a lot.
We had a good laugh, though I should make the note:
We are so much happier when the Chardonnay is afloat!

Like sitting on the beach
With Mykonos magic —
Magnums of Gerovassiliou,
No complaints, just ecstatic!
Sporting white trusiki,
Looking fantastic.

We ran around the holy land,
Wholly landing on the light
That brought us together, that sand,
That plight.

Instant connection, instant gratification —
We knew we knew each other
From some past life relations!
Brother, sister, mother, lover …
So many nights, under Parisian lights!

Our unique gifts and talents
Started to take flight —
Little did we know that we’d be friends for life.

For me there are very few
Moments cherished more
Than walking the Champs-Élysées,
Chanel bags in score —
Or watching you, under my gaze,
Become a Swiftie, spellbound in Taylor’s praise!

Your beauty, your smile, your loyalty, your charm —
You are above all of the stars, the limitations, the harm.

The lessons that I’ve learned
From you simply being you —
The grace, the elegance,
What’s valuable and what’s true.

You are so dear to my heart,
Beyond what words can express —
I pray the year ahead
Is filled with nothing but pure bliss.

And more moments, please,
Shared together …
Shall we take a trip to Marseille
and just call it Forever?

Love Always,
Daniel

I know you are with me. I know you are always with me. But I so desperately miss being able to call you or text you — to share something I’ve discovered, something you would absolutely need to know about. I miss being able to hug you, hold your hand, and witness how much love you had for me and Daddy.
Perhaps the greatest thing you ever taught me was how to be a partner, a spouse, a loved one, a caregiver. This past year has probably been the hardest for Daddy’s — but you would be so proud of him. I know I am. He has grown so much, and he is doing really well.
For Christmas this year, Guillermo, Stacy, and I managed to find two very special cats that we adopted for him — Cheez-It and Saltine. They are really special, and he is madly in love with them. You remember how much he loved Caddy. Well, now he’s doubled the dose, and these two are bouncing off the walls — they definitely keep him moving at roller coaster speed.
And of course, his baseball season is finishing on an incredibly positive note, which I have no doubt comes from your incredible influence from the other side!
And thank goodness for Brennie. She has been an incredible light for both me and Daddy this year. She checks in on us nearly every single day, and in doing so, she has been able to hold a space for me that brings a familiarity of you — keeping you close. Her warmth, her care, her constant presence — she is amazing and so inspiring in all that she does, for the world, but especially for us.
While we both miss you terribly, and would give anything to have you physically here with us — you can rest in peace knowing that we are good. We are really good. Because you loved us.

Today I’ve decided to recreate those okayful days in NYC — except in London. I’m going to the V&A Museum to see the exhibition, a merging of two of the great loves we shared: fashion and art. I remember when you first taught me about Schiaparelli — you said she was way ahead of her time, funky and avant-garde. I became so enthralled by that concept. I went down a rabbit hole of the avant-garde, wanting to embody that energy in my own exploration of who I was, what fashion meant, what style and statement could be. Through learning about Elsa and her life, I was able to make so many connections in my own.
After the museum, I’ll do a little shopping — because of course, Linda would never have a day in the city without shopping. Then I’m catching a matinee, and tonight Karen and I are having dinner at a very special restaurant, in your honor…..

PS - I asked her to guide me to her favorite and slide 1 was her fave 😎😍🦹🏻

My absolute favorite days were when you would come to New York — before the internet. You would do all the research. You’d have the magazines. You’d know exactly which exhibitions were on, which shows were playing, and we would just do New York. An amazing restaurant you’d read about, an exhibition, great conversation, real bonding. Those are, without question, my most cherished memories with you.

One of my most cherished memories. The night you came with me to the party at Twilo. You wanted to be a part of my world — not just hear about it, but enter it. To meet the people I called family. To watch me dance and be free and fully myself. And I know, in your heart, you needed to see with your own eyes that I was happy. We looked absolutely fabulous. We danced together that night in a way that transcended mother and son — we were just two people who loved each other, celebrating life on the dance floor. And those Gucci shoes. We showed up and we showed out. That night lives in me as one of the purest expressions of your love — not protective, not worried, just present. Just proud. Just there.

Comfort is the gift of the Ta**us season.

The softness.
The beauty.
The slow, sensory return to what feels good.

But comfort, when held too tightly, becomes the very thing that keeps you from the life waiting just beyond it.

Ta**us knows how to receive.
Ta**us knows how to savour.

But Ta**us also knows the quiet trap of staying where it is safe.

That is why this season carries a hidden invitation.
Not to abandon comfort.
But to stop hiding inside it.

Change the routine.
Wake on the other side of the bed.
Take the road you never take.
Do the small thing your nature resists.

Because the energy shifts the moment you do.

And transformation, real transformation, often begins in the places we have been most unwilling to disturb.

Astrology was never meant to become another box.

It is not an excuse.
It is not a costume.
It is not a reason to keep repeating the same patterns
and calling them personality.

Your chart is a map.
A mirror.
A language for understanding how you move through the world.

But the point is not to be trapped by it.

The point is to become more conscious.
More responsible.
More available to the parts of yourself
you have not yet allowed to grow.

Because every sign has wisdom.
And every sign has work.

So often, the dream arrives before the form does.

We know what we are drawn to.
We know what lights us up.
We know what kind of experience we want to have in the world.

But the way it unfolds
is not always the way we imagined it would.

And perhaps that is part of the wisdom.

To trust what is true
even before it is fully visible.
To let go of the rigid picture
and remain available to the essence of what we desire.

Sometimes the dream is still the dream.
It just arrives wearing different clothes.

Tomorrow, something happens in the sky that won’t happen again for 250 years.

Venus conjuncts Uranus at 29° Ta**us — the anaretic degree. The edge of desire. The threshold before everything shifts.

And the question it’s asking you is simple:

What version of yourself have you been editing out?

The one who walks into the room and doesn’t apologize for it.
The one whose outside finally matches their inside.
The one the world has actually been waiting for.

I wrote about this on Substack today — including a story from 10th grade that changed how I understood myself forever, and three practical tools you can use right now to align with this energy.

What moves me most about the Stedelijk is the conversation between old and new.

An old structure.
A new vision.
Both allowed to exist in the same body.

There is something deeply beautiful about that to me.

Because perhaps that is also the invitation in our own lives right now.

Not to throw everything away.
Not to abandon the past.
But to take what is still true, still valuable, still alive…
and give it a new form.

A new expression.
A new beauty.
A new way of being seen.

I’m publishing a new Substack article in the next hour about this very thing.
