Alexander, on Australians.

Alexander: I helped multiple gorgeous Australian men at the boulangerie today. I don’t know how you ever left your motherland. Yours are a wonderful and lust-inspiring people.

Two friends, on lipstick.

Cecily: Every one of my white clothes is now ruined thanks to a lipstick that weaselled its way into my washing machine.

Alexander: Was the lipstick at the very least Saint Laurent?

Alexander, on love and Portland.

Alexander: I think this is the death of me — falling in love with a man on the West Coast and relaxing further into the blissful black hole of soft drugs and rampant socially acceptable alcoholism that is Portland.

Alexander, on June.

Alexander: And my semi-obscure French word for June is rightfully, in my opinion anyway, “frisson”.

Cecily, on Nicolas.

Cecily: Why Nicolas, you’re looking incredibly Bogart today. You’re practically coffee stained and singed around the edges.

Cecily, on her work, her passion.

Cecily: I am a Creative Strategist. I may not save lives, but I sure as hell guarantee the emotional wellbeing of aesthetes.
