Mindy’s posted another blog about things she loves. Also, a warning that her blog has a little profanity. Here’s a little of what she wrote…
Please no one think I always wear, like Comme des Garcons.
I love shopping at Opening Ceremony. First of all, unlike any other boutique, it’s not remotely girly. It’s kind of stark and artsy, in a good way. It’s like, curated. Each room is like another exhibit, and the designers are those infuriating insanely talented FIT kids making asymmetrical sacks look sexy and stuff. Vena Cava, Acne, Proenza Schouler, you get it. Stuff you try on and are like, “wow, a $375 top marked down from $800.” and gingerly put it back on the hanger feeling like someone might run in and bust you for trying to be awesome.

I received a ticket from a meter maid in Santa Monica recently for an expired meter. First of all, I get points for even being in Santa Monica, which is totally out of my comfort zone, and was only there because Brent starts wilting if he’s not near the beach. So, I’m a good friend, just for starters. Then: I had tons and tons of change to pay the meter, BUT, I only had…pennies. And meters don’t accept pennies. BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT, LIKE EVERY OTHER LIVING THING ON THE PLANET, HATES PENNIES.

I love suggesting presents. Sometimes Gene, widely considered the most stylish guy on our staff, will ask me for advice on gifts, and it’s so exciting. To be even be considered a tastemaker in any small sense is a great compliment to a vapid person whose priorities are all wrong. So I made up this list more for me than for anyone else. (By the way, New York Magazine always puts out an amazing annual issue devoted entirely to finding gifts in any budget. I would get that, if you’re stumped.) I sorted them into present ideas for three different price ranges: grad student, a young professional, and Ben Silverman. Enjoy!

Who wears watches anymore? Nobody! So much so that I when I see someone wearing a watch, I know it’s going to be awesome. The best model of sick watches is Paul Feig, the only dashing mensch I’ve ever met. This is a guy, who, when Ben Jo and I ran into him at Barneys looking at $900 shoes, stopped and hugged us.

When I put mascara on, it mostly looks terrible. There are lots of makeups that can be applied in a rush, like concealer, shadow, lip gloss. But mascara is one of those things you really need to take a beat and be meticulous about. And I’m not, so, often times I can look like Courtney Love after a night of stalking Steve Coogan or whatever. Big gloppy chunks making my lashes stick together etc…

This weekend I was in New York for about 18 hours. I was there for work, nominally, but managed to spend a ridiculous amount of money on non work-related frivolity. I was staying in the Lower East Side, in the lovely Bowery Hotel. It’s like the movie “Clue” in there, guys. Except Colonel Mustard is Lindsay Lohan.

Actually, the truth is I kept meaning to post, but got too busy with other stuff (The Office starting up again, the Emmys, a very short incarceration) and then the passage of time built up an enormous pressure, like “oh s***, when I finally DO post it better be about amazing, not about some stupid hand soap I bought that I liked a lot”. But then I was like, “who even reads this bulls*** anyway, I’ll do what I want”, and then I forgot about it for a few weeks and now i’m posting again. Wasn’t that an interesting journey to read about? I think it was.
