listen, if alex is so keen on bringing back things from 2016 then maybe he should bring out another tlsp album or flirt obscenely with miles kane onstage for eight months straight 🤷🏻‍♀️

[paperlovesadness]

Guys can we just take a moment to appreciate that Alex wearing his old TLSP clothes is the someone who doesn't have social media's equivalent of whenever Miles posts something TLSP related. He is physically reminding us of them...

I just remembered my second Pride, where I made different flag themed daisy chain bracelets/necklaces to hand out. I need folks to understand something:

They were free.

They were fucking free.

They were maybe ¢60 of acrylic yarn each at the most, and the whole ziploc bag of them took 2 hours max.

Three people gave me sad eyes until I took their money.

Someone who was clearly the mom friend of their group made me take a $5 and gave a 10 minute pep talk.

At least four more people insisted on getting change to pay for the, once again, free bracelets.

In spite of all these shenanigans, the absolute best was this one person who I can only describe as, “queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.” I can remember nothing of the outfit, only the impeccable vibes. I did the same thing I did with everyone else, explaining the bracelets were free, and they nodded along as they took the last 6 strand rainbow bracelet. As soon as they had it on their wrist, they pointed at something over my shoulder and, like a fool, I looked.

Next thing I know, they’re running off cackling, yelling, “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME!” and I’m holding a fucking $20. I had to stop at least two people from chasing them, cause they thought the person stole something, and then they tried to give me money cause they thought it was funny seeing me flail over people being Too Nice.

That was the year I got reverse-robbed at Pride. I hope everyone out there is having a good time and, in particular, that queer surfer dude is out there still causing benevolent chaos.

a few quotes from Sophie Jarry article for Vogue about her favourite photos.

"A few hours before their concert at the Hammersmith Apollo, around 5 p.m.. The first day I met Miles Kane for a photo shoot, he offered to photograph him with Alex Turner when they came back together in Paris. It was finally in London, 4 months later, that we found ourselves on the day of their concert at the Hammersmith Apollo. My objective was simple: to photograph their complicity, their personality, their poetry. I then asked them to chat among themselves and to forget about me. I have already taken photos with Miles several times and it was very easy and very natural for him not to pay attention to me; then Alex often looked at me. I am quite disturbed by the fact that the day fell so quickly and it seems to me that it is Miles, much more than myself, who will have, through his involvement, his naturalness and his enthusiasm, given shape to our session photo."

I was completely obsessed by the Rascals' first album, from the first listen, then by the personality, the spirit, the enthusiasm, the laughter and the accent of Miles Kane. I immediately thought of him for my exhibition, and although he doesn't usually take photos without his band, he agreed that we’ll do a session together. This portrait was taken in the hotel garden. Miles then suggested that I continue the session and we took more photos along the Canal Saint Martin. If I had to remember just one meeting, just one artist this year, it would be him.
