The actual book launch party wasn’t until the following day, so I had RSVPed “yes” to a party being thrown by the sex toy brand Womanizer at the Jimmy, a beautiful rooftop bar. and also recorded an episode of the Bed Post podcast with the inimitable Erin Pim. This was what I wore on my book‘s release day! I spent most of the day frantically posting things about it on social media, answering questions about it, etc. Orange skater dress – American Apparel, vintage via eBay.The hazards of sitting in the front row, am I right?! (I’m kidding – it was all in good fun.) Matt and I were wearing matching outfits, and we sat in the front row as we often do, so pretty much every comedian on the bill made a joke or two about our matchy-matchy vibes. But the bartenders were friendly, the atmosphere was good, and the show was delightful. It’s a really wild venue – like a dive bar decorated by rockabilly drag queens. A friend-of-a-friend was performing and we wanted to support them. Matt picked this outfit for me for a date night involving incredible omakase sushi followed by a stand-up comedy show at the Beauty Bar. Black KN95 mask (these have become my absolute faves for my everyday pandemic needs a good nose wire is crucial for someone with a formidable schnoz like mine).Pink metallic cowboy boots – Jeffrey Campbell.My mom has a fun, girly sense of style so I usually like to dress cute when I hang out with her.

(I’m clutching my leftovers in a to-go box in one of these photos – can’t let any of it go to waste!) Chicken souvlaki skewers with tzatziki, a Greek salad heaped high with feta, and some roasted potatoes = possibly the ideal meal. My family and I lived in Greektown for about 25 years, so Greek food was a big part of my childhood and always feels nostalgic to me. We went to Mezes, a fabulous restaurant in Toronto’s Greektown area. My mom’s birthday was just days after my book’s release day, and I had to travel to New York to do the launch event, so I wanted to take her out for a special one-on-one meal before I left to make it up to her.
