tell us about a subculture or community you’re part of and how you got involved
I’ve been a loyal member of the critically acclaimed Ina Garten Fan Club Facebook group for five years. I happened upon it back in college while going down a Barefoot Contessa rabbit hole, as one does. It’s the most wholesome community in which fellow die-hard stans post about the food they made and who they shared it with, while simultaneously calling each other out if it’s not a recipe by Ina herself. Personally, I’ve shared a few recipes that I’ve made myself, whether for a Friendsgiving or a cute night in, and got quite a few compliments 😎. All in all, I would actually take a bullet for my girls.
what’s something you can’t live without?
Live music! I’ve lost count of how many concerts I’ve attended but there’s nothing I love more than destroying my eardrums with those silly little tunes. One artist in particular that I’ve seen time and time again and would drop everything for is Beyoncé. In following her across the country to seven (7) shows between three tours, I’ve also been lucky to meet some of the coolest people. Unfortunately, it’s all come at the cost of seeing DJ Khaled perform seven more times than I would’ve liked.
When I’m not physically at a live show, you can still find me opting to listen to a live version of a song at any given moment (apologies to my old roommates for blasting Chloe x Halle Tiny Desk Concert on loop for two months straight).
😈 what’s your toxic trait?
Lived in midtown east for six months
Too scared to citi-bike anywhere
Incredibly susceptible to trendy Instagram ads for literally the most regular everyday things (see: regular patient at Tend, loyal subscriber to Cometeer coffee capsules, consumes Fly by Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp by the gallon)
🥵 what makes you hot?
Lived in midtown east for six months
Knows enough Cantonese to order like four things from any given Chinese restaurant
Can make the most mundane thing seem interesting and fun on my Instagram story (grew up and went to school in suburban Fl*rida)
🔎 who are you looking for?
Maybe something more casual but I wouldn’t be mad if it turns into something more serious (cuffing szn alert). Ideally looking for a guy who’s clever, thoughtful and witty and, most importantly, someone who’ll get the beyond-niche meme references that bounce back and forth inside my brain all day.
