The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind in Mexico City. The annual art fair, in its eighth year, Zona MACO took place last week and sent the art world into a tizzy of openings, events, dinners, 1pm brunches, and cocktail hours that left us all reeling. In all the art fairs that I [...]

When we came back down to visit Texas a few years after moving to New England in a giant green Mercury Continental, I have the distinct memory of stepping out of the car and then climbing right back in, because the air outside was like jumping into hell itself — so freaking, searingly, take-your-breath-away hot. ”How do people survive here? How do they [...]

Who would’ve thought I’d ever be shilling for Texas, with a glass half-full at that? But having recently spent some time back in The Bayou City that’s exactly what I’m about to do.
