I flew back to New York from Toronto the day before this, and usually air travel is pretty draining for my chronically ill bod, but fortunately I had enough energy to go out to Raaaatscraps! My wife and I had also just watched an amazing video about beef wellington that inspired her to seek out a great wellington at a restaurant, so that’s what we had for dinner before the show. A cute date night!
What I’m wearing:
- Pink cashmere sweater – had just received as a Christmas gift from my mama 💖
- Black pants – ditto
- Black T-shirt with Apple logo (unseen) – gift from my wife
- Pink leather Doc Martens
- Silver hoop earrings
- Coach Rambler bag

My lovely wife mb was celebrating a birthday, and asked that everybody dress monochromatically for her party. I considered wearing all blue or all pink, but ultimately red won out! The party took place in the “red room” at Singers, so I matched the decor. 💅 Such a fun night hanging out with cool folks! Happy birthday, mb!
What I’m wearing:
- Red velvet dress – H&M like a decade ago
- Red cropped cardigan – Amazon
- Red thigh-high socks – Los Angeles Apparel
- Red cowboy boots – a hand-me-down from my high school girlfriend’s mom back in ~2008
- Red heart necklace – Tarina Tarantino
- Red heart-shaped bag – Kate Spade
- Red heart-shaped hair clip – a store somewhere in Toronto’s Chinatown East, like 20 years ago(!!)
- Red lipstick and red eyeshadow!

Not the most exciting day – I just went out for coffee, cranked out three blog posts, and then watched a really good rom-com. But this denim jumpsuit makes me feel gay and hot on even the most humdrum of days.
What I’m wearing:
- Short-sleeved denim jumpsuit – Aritzia; still wish I’d bought the black one too 😭
- Black leather Frye harness boots
- Black knit toque w/ blue ghost appliqué – Vaultboy merch (his latest EP is wonderful, especially this song)
- Navy knit cowl – Yokoo (cannot recommend their knitwear highly enough; this beautifully voluminous scarf has been getting me through this bitter winter, and incidentally works well as a makeshift pillow on uncomfortable chairs!)
- Black wool peacoat – thrifted in 2007
- Apple Watch
- Prescription sunglasses – Zenni

Wore this out to a little drinks get-together with my polycule. Had some great cocktails and funny conversations with a buncha cuties! (And yes, I did also cry on my metamour while making out with him, but that’s neither here nor there…)

- Navy skater dress – American Apparel
- Black tights
- Black leather Frye harness boots

Wore this to attend an improv show with my wife that featured Aaron Jackson, Josh Sharp, and Jeff Hiller, all of whom are hilarious beyond reason. It ended up being kind of dramatic because there was a subway train shutdown right before the show and Jeff was on that specific train, along with several audience members – so the show started half an hour late, and Jeff ran onstage triumphantly to thunderous applause when they finally arrived after their ordeal. The ensuing set was manic in the best way!
What I’m wearing:
- Turquoise long-sleeved shirt – gift from my mom
- Black pants – ditto
- Blue metallic Doc Martens – bought in high school
- Silver hoop earrings
- Apple Watch
- Vintage black leather Coach Willis bag

Another Raaaatscraps night! You know it’s a really good improv show when you’ll willingly trek over there in bitterly cold weather just to laugh the night away. This particular show is always worth the journey!
What I’m wearing:
- Pink cashmere sweater – J. Crew
- Black pants – gift from my mom
- Pink leather Doc Martens
- Red knit cowl – a now-defunct Etsy shop

Wore this to a Poetry is Gay reading, at which my stunning wife performed some poems. Always so much fun to listen to beautiful queers reciting their beautiful words! The theme of the evening was “melt the ice,” so I dressed in a springy manner to hopefully hasten along warmer weather (and fewer federal goons on the streets of Minneapolis and elsewhere). 🤞
What I’m wearing:
- Floral-print T-shirt – American Apparel
- Red pencil skirt – American Apparel
- Black cashmere sweater – Gap
- Black tights
- Red cowboy boots – hand-me-down

And here’s one silly loungewear outfit, for good measure… I wore this to lie around the house reading my press galley copy of Rosa Campbell’s forthcoming book about the sex researcher Shere Hite. It’s an absolutely fascinating book; big recommend for anyone who’s interested in the intersections of feminism and sexuality, which I’d imagine is most of you reading this blog!
What I’m wearing:
- Pink cropped T-shirt – Gap
- Pink sweatpants – Gap
- Pink knit toque – gift from my mom
- White socks covered in rainbow hearts – Gap
