☆ When Downsizing Inspires Creativity: ‘I’m 73. I Can Do Whatever the Hell I Want.’
  + stars: | 2023-07-14 | by ( Grace Rasmus | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
RAYNER CONWAY wants to be clear. Despite the way her journey begins—“this is not a sad story.” In 2021, the Toronto-based nonprofit director was in the midst of downsizing from a four-story, 3,500-square-foot home to a condo less than half the size when her husband of 50 years died unexpectedly. Cynthia Ferguson, the designer the couple had tasked with preparing the space, faced a fresh challenge. Could she devise a comfy home for her suddenly solo client—whom she calls “a firecracker”—while also making a tough transition not just bearable, but invigorating?

IT TOOK Kirstie-Anne Woodman a month and a half to master the claw clip. “I tried to do [my hair] the way women with [finer hair] hair do it—just kind of twist and then flip up—and it wasn’t working,” said Woodman, who is Black. “I take my hair and split it in two like I’m doing pigtails,” she said. Next, “I twist the two strands together, flip it up and start wrapping it like a bun. Then the claw clip will go straight in the middle and the ends will go up and over the back.”

☆ Are You a Summer? Are You a Winter? Why Millennials and Gen Zers Are Dressing for Their ‘Seasons’
  + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( Grace Rasmus | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
WOMEN HAVE many layers. In 2023 you could be—simultaneously—a mother, an activist, a stockbroker, a summer… Hold up; what’s that last one? Ah, yes: The idea of referring to yourself as a “season,” and dressing accordingly, is back. To older generations, the mention of this 1980s-era concept might induce shudders. But some millennials and Gen Zers are embracing this way of dressing—and it looks a little different than it did 40 years ago.

“OH, LOOK, the kitchen floors are gray now,” I said, juggling boxes as I stepped inside my newly rented apartment. “Nice!”When I’d first toured the 1940s townhouse in Queens, N.Y., that floor was tiled in aging checkerboard squares of black and icky-cream. Then I noticed the kitchen walls were now a seemingly identical gray. A few months later, when my landlord needed to replace the mid-century-pink bathroom floors, I was less enthused. “Oh, look, the bathroom floors are gray now,” I said.

“I CAN’T BELIEVE we just gave everyone in the audience Oura rings,” said Drew Barrymore, laughing. These two episodes—where they’ll take home the aforementioned fitness tracking rings, weighted Bala Bangle wristbands and Ms. Barrymore’s favorite JanSport backpack—are the first time they’ve been allowed to forgo face masks. “When we signed up to do this show in 2019, there were high expectations,” Ms. Barrymore recalls, from her mostly pink dressing room. “When we launched in the pandemic, there was a lot of disappointment. I don’t really identify with smoothness, I identify a lot more with struggle.”
