• Lisa Frank. Beanie Babies. Thrift stores. Memories of wanting to be a little girl in the 90s. Doja Cat. Luscious Massacre. Dame Edna. My cat Humphrey. The holiday aisle the day after Easter or Valentine’s Day. The Green Lady. The exuberance of beauty endemic to nature: the Cherry Blossom trees in New York City. Susanne Bartsch. David LaChappelle. Nancy comics. Garfield. Garbage (both the band & literally trash). Any artist making beauty.
