Oh Ray duh x a trillion right back at you. Your answers were a whole moodboard of honesty and guts…I knew you’d deliver, but wow did you deliver.
Also: I’m now officially gathering a cult of those who care about Behind The Outfit™ decisions. (Should I do a breakdown of my Write Up lewk? Spoiler: there was a velvet situation.)
And yes to London, manifesting a future event where you and I get to be in the same room, in full glorious colour. 👯♀️
Ooh, red! I love that for you. I’ve actually written a whole essay on the agonising (and slightly existential) process of choosing what to wear on Saturday… I won’t spoil it here, but let’s just say: it’s not random. Can’t wait to see you! x 💋
Danusia!! One - you are toooo kind. Two - this interview is 🔥 - so much to breathe in, so much that sounds exactly like my life. Three - outfit - all of the yes pleases!! I have JUST got home from a John Lewis personal shopper appointment where I got help with mine because I was so stuck and had nothing that fits my new ‘writerly’ shape 🫣. It’s a jumpsuit. I think I love it. I cannot WAIT to meet you in person on Saturday!! Xxx
Lou!! A jumpsuit?! That’s a power move and a half, I cannot wait to see it. Writerly shape is a whole thing, isn’t it? We start to claim our bodies as part of the work. And your “too kind” note? No no no. Not a smidge of kindness I’d take back. Your writing, your voice, your way, it’s all divine. So excited to meet you on Saturday. It’s going to be a night. xx
PS. I’m writing a short piece around this question: What does a woman wear when she’s about to undress a room with her voice?
The theatre of dress vs. the danger of being misread…feminist thoughts on getting dressed as visual authorship.
Oh dearest Danusia thank you for the opportunity to answer these questions. I learned about myself while doing so.
And duh x a trillion we want the BTS of the clothing decisions.
Wish I lived in London and could attend!!!!!

Love the interview with Ray, and can’t wait to get together on Saturday… I’m thinking a red dress… you? X
