  • Update: Hermès won their case against Mason Rothchild

    In a move that helped define the terms of trademarks in the metaverse, a judge awarded Hermès a victory in their case against Mason Rothchild for his MetaBirkin NFTs. What this means? I am personally pleased with the verdict. From my limited exploration, Rothchild was pretty much just selling Birkin bags for the virtual world.…

  • Trademark protection gets meta: Hermès sues creator of the MetaBirkin

    Hermès filed a lawsuit against Mason Rothschild. for his MetaBirkin NFTs. They say that it infringes on their trademark. He says its art. They’re both right. Technically. I keep covering these intellectual property cases because they fascinate me. They are not cut and dry. In this example, Rothschild has created an NFT, the MetaBirkin, which…

  • Did I get results using the Dior Capture Totale Cell Energy Super Potent Rich Crème?

    I just finished using the Dior Capture Totale Cell Energy Super Potent Rich Crème Sigh, I have to admit up front, I was not consistent using it.

  • What’s on the other side of lonely?

    The crippling anxiety and pain of rejection got to me. As a certified adult, I felt like the new kid in school and everyone else at the networking event already met their friend quota. All the cliques were closed for new membership. But as painful as that experience was for me, I can imagine the…

  • Makeup: making up excuses and making up my own path

    I am unequivocally an adult woman. And yet I never really gotten into makeup. This is not for some kind of philosophy against it. It is moreso that I just never tried it. And now, it seems scary, because it is one thing to make a mistake as a teenager. It is a whole different…

  • Notes from a bad traveler

    In New Orleans, I sat on my hotel bed, peering out the expansive window that overlooked the water. I stayed there, watching the sun go down and the boats go by.  In that moment, I thought more deeply about how I want to change my life. How I miss having a space like that to…
