Putting the "Ass" in Astronaut

6 days ago | iheartmess.com | Emily Kirkpatrick

Hi!Welcome back to another week of utter hell and incompetency. The world may be burning, but I do need to share with you these images of Fran immediately because since we last spoke she got a blowout and it simply demands to be seen:I hope this mountain of floof and this stupidly gorgeous ear bow brighten your day a little bit. To cope with reality, I decided to kick of my week in a truly decadent fashion.
Without Mulholland Drive, there would be no Hannah Montana

Good day, gentle readers. Thank you for once again allowing my foul and slatternly prose to infiltrate your sacred inboxes on this cloudy Friday afternoon. As I write to you, the construction drones on outside my building as promised, and my already feeble mind continues to weaken, also as promised.
The Death of Celebrity Aura

2 weeks ago | iheartmess.com | Emily Kirkpatrick

Hello, Messketeers!I’m not feeling particularly inspired by any of the clothing I’m seeing out there this week and feel like I’m currently in a gestational period when it comes to any grander, unified theories of what the hell is going on out there in Hollywood. So instead of the usual Mess fare, I thought instead this week I would share with you someth…Keep reading with a 7-day free trialSubscribe to I <3 Mess to keep reading this post and get 7 days of free access to the full post archives.
Get me to God's country

Greeting and salutations, Messketeers!I’ve returned from my inter-borough travels. As I told you last week, my family was here and we went to a whole lot of plays and rather mediocre restaurants. My dad miraculously got tickets for us to see Glengarry Glen Ross which is one of my favorite plays, only made all the more delightful with a cast of Kieran Culkin, Bill Burr, and Bob Odenkirk, all of whom were shockingly good in their roles.
Mess Flix: What a Way to Go!

3 weeks ago | iheartmess.com | Emily Kirkpatrick

Hi!Instead of the usual content, today I decided to do a recap of a film I’ve long threatened to do a recap of — What a Way to Go! I went into this movie blind having no idea what the actual plot is just that it features some truly fabulous fashions. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that the cast is full of the hottest men of that era, who are a…Keep reading with a 7-day free trialSubscribe to I <3 Mess to keep reading this post and get 7 days of free access to the full post archives.
SKKN by Kim by Skims fka Kimono

Hellooo, my friends. My family has been here visiting all week, which means it’s been a nonstop onslaught of Broadway plays, dining out, and meandering strolls through Manhattan neighborhoods I haven’t even thought about in ages. My fridge is also now packed with enough leftovers to tide me through April. One of the many small blessings of out-of-town visitors. I have much to say to you all, but very little time to say it.
Jonathan Anderson Leaves Loewe and Fashion More Tightly Intertwined with the Art World Than Ever Before

1 month ago | artnews.com | Emily Kirkpatrick

Designer Jonathan Anderson announced his departure from Loewe last week after months of speculation that he’s headed for the top job at Dior. As the brand’s creative director for a little over a decade, Anderson grew the Spanish luxury house from a small leather goods purveyor to one of the most popular and innovative luxury brands on the planet.
Five Years of Mess!!!

1 month ago | iheartmess.com | Emily Kirkpatrick |Alyssa Vingan Klein |Alyssa Vingan

Hello!Yes, it’s true what the title says. It’s been FIVE WHOLE YEARS of this slop delivered straight to your inbox! I’ve spent this week thinking a lot about how much has changed in that time. I landed what I thought was my dream job at Vanity Fair only to quit three years later. I’m closer than ever to having this newsletter be my full-time source of employment without additional freelancing, which is easily the most radical professional dream I’ve ever realized.

Mess Recommends: February and March 2025

Hi!You’re receiving this email on the exact day of the 5 year anniversary of this newsletter! Isn’t that insane??? What the hell have I been doing with my life. I can’t believe I <3 Mess has managed to outlive the legacy of its pandemic namesake, Marie Kondo. I might reflect more on this milestone in Friday’s email, but for now I’d just like to say thanks a million for being here and caring about my goofy thoughts on this pop culture nonsense.
