It curls through a hedge and down Melrose, these excited young women in baggy jeans and baby tees, slicked-back center-parted buns, glossy pouts, and perfect, almond-shaped manicures, all patiently waiting for the doors of Rhode’s Los Angeles pop-up to open and let them inside.

I have, by virtue of my years in the worlds of fashion and publishing, had plenty of occasions to sit in restaurants with all kinds of very famous people.

I told her I’d catch up after my massage. “Ooh,” she said. “Ask about a B₁₂ shot, and then come join.” I might as well—I wasn’t going anywhere.
