It’s so cute. You should definitely go!

That, too.

I try. We shall see.

You’re assuming I haven’t, and don’t do so on a regular basis. (Spoiler alert: I do, and have already screenshot and sent this exchange, as well.)

If you think I’m wasting it on Kinja, you’re mistaken. It’s above me now.

In 1784, Sally Hemings was 11 years old. That is all.

Thanks for the clarification, as I misinterpreted when I transcribed the conversation. I’ll correct it—and yes, she was fantastic to talk to.

Fair—although Hypebeast did call it a collaboration, and I’ve worked in fashion since the ‘90s. As I wrote, it’s still unclear how much influence he had on the collection, but perhaps the collab in question is the cross-promotional agreement.
