omg that's fantastically onion-esque. especially the "We carefully and thoughtfully designed..." sentence.

oh lordy.
During cocktail hour the butterfly performers (no detail was overlooked, down to the tiny, artificial flutters on their eyelashes!) presented a durational hour-long dance around Kiki Smith sculptures and in and out of the pond. All the while, dancers drew in guests to write wishes for the newlyweds that they subsequently attached to Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree.

the caption for that band shot:
"Dan Bailey Tribe, a Montauk-based band with an amazing reggae, island vibe, played during cocktail hour and had little Nakoa mesmerized."
a couple of others:
"Bobby and I wanted the wedding to incorporate unexpected elements (such as performance artists) for entertainment during the cocktail hour. This particular concept was inspired by a Radiolab episode that we had listened to called “Black Box,” about the transformation that a caterpillar goes through during chrysalis and what the butterfly brings from its caterpillar life into its new life. The outfits and headdresses were designed and handcrafted by Shige and Ximena of Leimay."
"Our cake was designed by Lael Cakes’s Emily Lael Aumiller, an adorable Brooklyn baker of vegan and gluten-free cakes. We did a tasting and were so taken with Emily, her confections, and the overall experience that we decided to go the gluten-free route despite not being GF ourselves! We chose a vanilla bean cake with strawberry basil buttercream and fresh strawberries."
it all sounds delightful

I would give anything for the opportunity to meet and befriend some of these people, and then spend the rest of my life attending lavish wedding receptions in geodesic domes and whatnot, it sounds amazing (have to say that the gluten-free wedding cake looks a bit uninspiring in the photos, though)

love that their dumb thing couldn't just be inspired by a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, which everyone in the country has known about since kindergarten, but by a RadioLab episode about it.

Light Watkins, a meditation teacher, Wanderlust presenter, and author of The Inner Gym, founded The Shine in 2014 to create a mindful, connected community, without all the booze. An evening at The Shine will include meditation, music, film, and philanthropic enterprises, complimented with healthy nibbles and juices—and specially sourced artisan water.

a very over the top way of saying: yeah, i don't really drink anymore. i'm getting older and it makes me feel like crap.
which is pretty much what i say now. without the nibbles and artisan water and philanthropic enterprises.

Margaret Sullivan going IN on her way out:http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/01/27/flint-water-margaret-sullivan-new-york-times-public-editor
After all, enough Times firepower somehow has been found to document Hillary Clinton’s every sneeze, Donald Trump’s latest bombast, and Marco Rubio’s shiny boots. There seem to be plenty of Times resources for such hit-seeking missives as “breadfacing,” or for the Magazine’s thorough exploration of buffalo plaid and “lumbersexuals.” And staff was available to produce this week’s dare-you-not-to-click video on the rising social movement known as “Free the Nipple.”Isn’t it a matter of choosing how to deploy the 1,300 members of the newsroom staff? Call it a question of priorities. Given all that’s happened, especially on issues involving race, maybe it’s time to beef up that talented Midwest staff.

“Once we get rid of the visual blight, and Tuxedo begins to have this rural, foodie character, other neighbors will beautify as well,” he says. “Beauty sparks beauty.”
To get from here to there, his newly minted Tuxedo Hudson Company (THC) first bought the convenience store — “The ugliest building in town, and that’s what I love about it” — which he’ll convert into an upscale food purveyor, biergarten and antiques emporium. Next, THC snapped up the only restaurant in town, which will be transformed into an upstate version of the Waverly Inn, “my favorite restaurant in New York City.”
“They are seriously undervalued,” he tells me, stopping by a 10,000-square-foot white house “by a prominent architect” on a lake that sold for just $1.8 million. “The real estate here is so reasonable it’s like playing Monopoly,” he says.

god yeah that is a satifying read- he is made to seem like such a piece of shit and yet it's just quoting him and giving him the space to do that to himself. the mystical egotist CEO persona is a thing, and it's so ripe for satiric puncture.
