The Bold Italic
The Bold Italic is a digital magazine focused on New Journalism and is located in San Francisco. It was established in 2009 through a partnership between the design company IDEO and the media organization Gannett. In 2015, Gannett sold the magazine to local entrepreneurs. After six years of operation, Gannett closed The Bold Italic on April 7, 2015, without providing a specific reason for the decision. This closure came amid Gannett's broader strategy to reduce expenses across its publications, which included layoffs. However, in June 2015, new owners acquired the magazine and quickly resumed publishing. By April 2016, The Bold Italic announced a collaboration with Medium, an online publishing platform based in San Francisco, and it continues to release new articles on a daily basis.

San Francisco’s holiest night of hedonism landed at Grace Cathedral on March 4th. Yes, I came to fundraise — no, I did not skip the photobooth. I once again pushed the boundaries of formalwear physics not long ago. Limb placement is a lowkey suggestion in a ballgown — and what better place to test minor acrobatic miracles than at Grace Cathedral? It was the annual Carnivale gala, otherwise known as San Francisco’s most glamorous reason to get drunk in a church.

Feminism can take many forms; This one does it in pointe shoes. I always thought ballet would be a music box come to life. A dainty princess twirls in a stiff tutu while a prince solemnly assists, and the whole performance would serve up a tax-free inheritance in pointe shoes — polished, rarefied, and untouched by mortal concerns like gravity or sweat. In reality, one heroine fumbles every life decision and ends up in a swamp.

From a glowing dragon to Mayor Lurie’s rallying words, SF Symphony gave me another Lunar New Year filled with elegance and community. I moved to Mainland China after college, looking for adventure and maybe some stories to tell. I discovered that “mild” Sichuan spice was a lie, that tangerines could suddenly be everywhere, and that the streets could go from overflowing to empty in a single night — not out of abandonment, but out of tradition.
