I took a vacation day yesterday and ate a very good meal and saw a very sweet movie and walked around outside very slowly for a very long time in the sunshine while wearing a great outfit (that five people stopped me to comment on!) and it really did a lot for my brain.

I've watched a few Denzel, Julia Roberts, and Tom Cruise films somewhat recently, and it's got me thinking a LOT about who and what a real movie star is. I don't get that real movie star feeling (yet) from too many people under 40, but Keke Palmer is really it to me.

Shiv’s costuming is perfect for two reasons: 1) It communicates just how unsure she is of herself. She sees focusing on her appearance as frivolous (def a response to her mother!)… but she also probably doesn’t even know what she likes, so she always looks a little wrong.
