Mainly French Alli ☀️
THURSDAY | 5.21.26
Turns out it’s the people. We don’t pretend to know everything, or anything, really, but the people matter. And the dog, if she’s reading this. The ones we share our days with, the ones we call coworkers and friends. And you, of course. If we had a nickel for every time French Alli’s favorite part of the day involved whipping up magazine ideas with Sylvia or the creative director told us she got bit by a turtle (again), we’d be rich enough to send ourselves and you on an all-inclusive surf trip filled with enough piña coladas to make grandma take a crack at scuba. It’s the people. Take a second to tell them how much you appreciate them today. Then maybe make up a fancy secret handshake while you’re at it, and treat each other to a piña colada or two afterwards. Alright, enough of all that sappiness, back to the newsletter.
It’s almost backyard hibachi season, Jackie.
