louder and louder, more and more

I'm a costume designer, and a time-waster.

The question 'Who should run for president in 2016?' was posed by New York magazine at a White House Correspondents' Dinner pre-party yesterday...

  • Amy Poehler: Prince.
  • Brad Hall: That’s a great answer.
  • Julia Louis-Dreyfus: And Sly and the Family Stone.
  • Hall: The Family Stone would be the VP.
  • Louis-Dreyfus: That would be good.
  • New York magazine: The Family Stone would be the cabinet, Sly would be the VP.
  • Poehler: You know, with Prince and Sly and the Family Stone, wouldn't we get more done around here?
  • Hall: Man. That is a funky field right there.
  • Louis-Dreyfus: You would definitely get funky with it. That’s for sure.
  • Poehler: Whoever runs, that should be their motto. Whoever runs, it should be, "Let’s get funky with it."
  • Louis-Dreyfus: Oh my God. Wouldn't that be so good?
  • Poehler: That would be so good no matter who it is.
  • Louis-Dreyfus: You would give all your life savings to that campaign.
  • Poehler: If a candidate was like, “Come on guys: Let’s get funky with it.”
  • New York magazine: Maybe you should do it.
  • Louis-Dreyfus: All right, should those two candidates decide to run, Amy and I are going to run their campaign, or we’ll be a part of the branding of the campaign.
  • Poehler: We’ll be like Peaches and uh...
  • Louis-Dreyfus: Diamond and Pearl.
  • Hall: Peaches and Herb. Oh no, sorry.
  • Poehler: Peaches and Cream! The dancers that used to perform with Prince.
  • Louis-Dreyfus: That’s right. [Ed. note: It was Diamond and Pearl.]
  • Poehler: Prince always has some beautiful, like, 16-year-old dancers.
  • Louis-Dreyfus: We’re not 16, but we could totally dance with him, you know, while he campaigns.
  • Poehler: Well, it’s going to be a different kind of dancing. It has to be serious dancing. Because it’s a political campaign.
  • Louis-Dreyfus: There are issues and we feel strongly about the issues. So it will be a serious kind of dance.
  • Poehler: Once again, I know Prince reads your magazine. I know he reads these little interviews. Julia and I are ready to dance behind him when he runs for president in 2016.
  • Louis-Dreyfus: Please take this seriously.

I wanted to share something simple but awesome that just happened to me. I woke up this morning with a scratchy throat, so I walked to a nearby juicebar to get a green juice. I asked the owner if he had any kale. Instead of saying “no,” he said: “Please, take a seat, I will run and buy some for you.”
