Tini, if you don't make this an annual tradition, I will be FURIOUS. THIS IS ALL I WANT FROM THE HOLIDAY SEASON NOW. (And, as a person currently in Great Britain... wtf is that outfit.)

Also, re the hilarious Genevieve Valentine - deep cut, but she wrote episode recaps from second season of Sleepy Hollow that are truly top tier. Take an edible, rewatch the second season, and then read her recaps. You will pee your pants.

I somehow read this as "as a person in Great Britain currently in that outfit" and blinked like six times. Then I re-read it!

You're so kind. ❤️ And that Sleepy Hollow plan sounds like a good one!

I'm furiously (yet carefully!) mashing square to Boost Zimbabwe as much as possible.

This was fun to read — bang on with your review, I agree with your choices, I would pick the same. I probably would nitpick about the quality of materials they used. This is glamorous craftsmanship at its best (its a lot of work behind making them, especially the standout ones. In the last section they were stunning!

Hi Devaki! So good to see you here!

And you're so right about the materials, it makes a huge difference. It looks like it would be so fun to work on one of these, or design one! (You'd be great at it.)

My husband is from Thailand and the Miss Universe pageant is an annual viewing tradition in our house, even more than It's a Wonderful Life at Christmas. I, too, am always struck by how there's So. Many. BIRDS! Lol Thanks for another great newsletter. :)
