Martha Stewart launched a skincare line.
She partnered with Rhode's dermatologist to get it done.
Good morning everyone.
Did anyone go to the Martha’s Vineyard Book Festival over the weekend? It looks like they got a stellar lineup — Keith McNally, Graydon Carter, Jeffrey Goldberg. Impressive work from whoever organized that event. A friend texted me this last night:
I bought a ticket to see Weapons on Thursday afternoon. Barbarian is one of my favorite horror movies. I think about it every time I stay in an AirBnb or drink milk, so I’m looking forward to seeing what Zach Cregger did with the storyline of this twisted fairytale. It has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes so far. Additional plans for this week include eating tomatoes at Superiority Burger and reading
’s new book.In today’s letter: Martha Stewart and Hailey Bieber worked with the same dermatologists for their skincare brands, Dimes Square is pronounced dead (again), West Village girls are wearing the new Skims face sculptor, and Palm Heights keeps churning out brand collaborations.
Justin Bieber posted photos this weekend shooting some kind of modified AR-15.
My memories of Dimes Square are fond, albeit intense. My friend Anna rented an apartment above Clandestino for ten (!!) years, and I went to countless parties involving endless cups of wine, tattoo guns, and a rotating cast of effervescent New Yorkers. In the immediate wake of Covid, something was inarguably happening there – part scene, part online world-building. I always liked how Natasha Stagg described it in an i-D interview in 2023: “I’m less knowledgeable of the key players in it than I used to be. The point of reading those [Dimes Square art gossip] blogs is the name-dropping aspect of it, which is hard if you don’t know any of the names. Gossip is only valuable if you know who the people are being gossiped about.” Over the weekend,
published a newsletter titled, Dimes Square is Dead. Which has been true for a while now, but a new t-shirt from H&M really put the nail in the coffin. As Antiart put it: “the trap was the “potential” of the art. Nothing was happening, yet people in the area really thought specific figures would be ‘next up.’”
