PS Brandon’s take on Brighton (where I moved to from London this year) was HILARIOUS and so damn true. His description of our seagulls has to be my favourite I’ve read on Substack (thank you for mentioning it and reminding me in your post)
The next day, my publicist and I took the train to…Brighton, I believe it was. For a festival. Brighton is very cool. Perhaps too cool for me. You walk out of the station and it’s just these gorgeous buildings, music streaming from every direction, lads as far as the eye can see. I liked the pace of life there—both fast and slow, light drenching everything, a breeze shooting up the canals of the streets. Seagulls as big as toddlers zipping down and scooting up, their shadows falling across your hands or pavement in front of you. It was just very cool. And very gay. Which is shocking because so much of London was almost oppressively heterosexual. There were straight people…kissing in the streets! I was horrified. I thought, “Is that allowed????”
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Yes! It’s such a goofy description, and so unexpected. And true? Even better.
Thank you so much for the kind comments about my newsletter!
