Welcoming “hoa hoa hoa season” 🌲🕯️
I ended up at a Twilight screening at the London Coliseum — with a live orchestra and candlelight.
⠀
It just so happens that I rewatch Twilight once a year, and I genuinely see it as an important pop culture artifact. The last time was with my best friends — we went through all the movies, good food on the table, and cultural conversations in between.
⠀
It’s fascinating how, after all these years, the film still feels relevant (and probably will for a long time), despite all the toxic dynamics and triple-layered drama inside it.
⠀
Watching it in a theatre, though, is a whole different experience. First of all, the audience was almost entirely women. Second, you start noticing the collective reactions: Edward’s brooding stares spark hysterical laughter, Charlie gets rounds of applause (we all know why), and Bella earns gentle chuckles. Overall, pure sisterhood and catharsis.

Why is a tour of the Harry Potter studio NOT a “tourist trap”?
⠀
Harry Potter has long been an absolute non-negotiable Christmas movie that you feel rather than watch.
And there’s something to see!
⠀
Cultural tour of millennials. A place where you return not for new information, but for a deep, familiar comfort.
⠀
Yes, butter beer feels like it’s been bottled there since filming, but I don’t recommend it. And the gift shop? Let’s just say that this is a test of your self-control at the Hogwarts level. But these are just footnotes.
⠀
I have experienced an amazing tribute to the thousands of artists, technicians and chefs who created this world. Seeing hand-sewn costumes, miniature paintings and models is a real master class in invisible craftsmanship. It’s very touching.
⠀
So, is it worth the galleons? Absolutely.

A new issue of my newsletter is out today — dedicated to two women who changed the way we look at the world.

M.F.K. Fisher, who transformed food writing by turning appetite into a cultural language — a way of thinking, remembering, and moving through life.

And Lee Miller, model, Man Ray’s muse, surrealist, and later a war correspondent whose photographs of the liberated camps remain some of the most uncompromising images of the twentieth century.

Mexico happened like a fever dream.
I flew in “just for tacos” and somehow ended up writing an entire newsletter, because Mexico City never lets you stay a tourist for long.

CDMX is clean, green, absurdly delicious: street food that’s never met a health inspector sits next door to Michelin-level bars with very un-European prices. We ate dozens of tacos, realised burritos are basically a myth, overdosed on mole (100+ ingredients, my respect), and drank every possible form of michelada, paloma, margarita and mezcal. Drinking here is a full sensory opera.

Cultural plans fell apart in favour of food — except for one masterpiece: Museo Diego Rivera Anahuacalli, Rivera’s volcanic, pyramid-like temple for pre-Columbian art. And yes, I also saw the infamous Estela de Luz, the “light monument” that turned into a perfectly vertical symbol of corruption and evaporated budgets.

Full story is in the Substack —

Food photos in the carousel, because Mexico is a place where even my art commentary starts with tacos.
