46. READ. LOOK. THINK.
A quick READ.LOOK.THINK. this week as your correspondent is travelling in the beautiful U.S of A!
On her 13th birthday — | Eliminate from your routine. | Pretty/Funny. | Sex without love, a poem by Sharon Olds. | Rachel Getting Married script at IMSDb. | How to be a human being on the internet. |”It’s weird being mistaken for real adults.” | Humpback whales breach at Manly Beach in Sydney. |”Let me talk like an old man. Young people, be careful. Beautiful things are disappearing every day. Be careful.…You don’t need to be [shopping at fast-fashion stores], especially young people. They are beautiful naturally, because they are young. So they should even wear simple jeans and a T-shirt. It’s enough. Don’t be too much fashionable.…The brand advertising is making you crazy. You don’t need to be too sexy. You are sexy enough.” Yohji Yamamoto. | Fascinating book: The War for Late Night.

I haven’t read The War for Late Night yet, but I read (and enjoyed) the first book in the “series” (about when Jay took over The Tonight Show when most people thought it would be Letterman’s) – The Late Shift.
Thanks for including Lisa Ferber’s post on this–I always look forward to Read/Look/Think because you pick such diverse, fantastic reads, and it’s a delight to find The Beheld on here.
(Also a delight to see Farrah Bostic on your blogroll–I went to college with her and found her writing intriguing even then, so great to learn that she’s still doing interesting things.)
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for going to the effort to post these up weekly, I always look forward to dropping in here. Just leaving a comment because the Yohji Yamamoto quote link takes us to the Sex without love poem. I’m very curious to read the rest of the quote within the context of an interview, book, or wherever it came from..
Thank you
Vy
Sorry Vy! I have updated the link.
