How a New York baker got her cake on SNL. 🍰

Plus: Spy Magazine is popping up on Substack, the film drawing protesters in the Hamptons, WSJ is hiring 2027 interns, and more.

Good morning, everyone.

I’m back in New York after a fascinating first Paris Fashion Week experience. A few highlights of the trip:

• I stopped by SC103’s Paris pop-up, which was located on the second floor of a sun-flooded apartment building in the 9th. I’m now the owner of one of their leather link bags — mine is brown and metallic red.

• My husband and I wandered into Ogata, a multi-story Japanese tea palace, for lack of a better word. Ogata is part-restaurant, part-cafe, part-store, and part-gallery — and the whole space was overwhelmingly beautiful. We got two iced teas, some squishy mochi, and a red bean and butter Japanese pancake sandwich, and ate it on a bench in the street while watching some A-Tier nepo babies walking into the store after the Celine show.

• On Saturday morning, I visited the “Andy Warhol. Line and Image” exhibit at Musée du Luxembourg. The show was composed of four rooms of Warhol’s earliest dainty illustrations, some of them adorned with gold leaf and Christian imagery of a smiling baby Jesus and mischievous angels. If you’re a fan of Warhol’s playful cookbook, Wild Raspberries, which makes the rounds on Substack every few months, you’d find this show worth the 15€. Afterwards, I took the guidance of a Feed Me reader and saw Wolfgang Tillmans at Chantal Crousel and Cy Twombly’s Sperlonga series at Galerie Karsten Greve. Aliza Abarbanel told me that the current show at Zwirner was fantastic, but I didn’t have time to get there. I spent a few bucks on Warhol Christmas cards from eBay on my flight home. They will go to those of you who are still on my Nice list by December.

• Before our flight yesterday, we got Kurdish kebabs at hole-in-the-wall Urfa Durum. Wood-fired lamb tucked into hand-rolled flatbread, with arugula, parsley, tomato, lemon, and lettuce.
