About Me

After graduating from Kenyon College, I headed to D.C. and have been in journalism ever since. I've enjoyed a broad scope: politics, fashion, society, arts, food, travel. My most recent employment was as cultural editor of the New York Sun. Since the paper folded last fall, I've been looking at American culture from a different angle. With so many news sources, so many voices, and all of it streaming by so fast, we tend to breeze past matters of taste. This blog attempts to pause — and lay praise or blame at the feet of those who deserve it. Who are today's tastemakers? I'm also looking for ideas that address wealth, luxury, and class — which are changing by the second.
