So, first things first, people really weren’t joking when they called Kanye West’s new girlfriend, Chaney Jones, a Kim Kardashian look-alike. Jesus. Anyway, in absolutely related news, Kanye has been barred from performing at the Grammys due to his “concerning online behavior,” which is putting it mildly. Very, very mildly. (Variety)

Happy Women’s History Month! Esme enjoyed Edith Wharton’s fond evisceration of New York society in The Age of Innocence. "Wharton was a master at her craft so this novel is funny and full of moments of Fremdschämen on my part as Newland states the obvious or misses a very unsubtle reaction by one of his friends or family." Did you know Wharton was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature? (Cannonball Read 14)
