Has anyone found an article that details all of Carrie’s jewelry? I don’t mean just the well-known pieces like her nameplate necklace. I mean more like every single piece, including things like rings that appear in 1-2 episodes.

Carrie has some gorgeous pieces that I would like to shop for, but I can’t quite identify what I’m seeing in some of the looks.

So we know what Carrie actually wore to the boat party in Season 3 (the navy blue jersey dress). But her intended outfit was stuck with the dry cleaner, and we never get to see it.

What do we think the outfit was? I’m dying to know what she was planning to wear.

Since we're apparently gutting the entire federal government and I can't even imagine what's next for state programs, many of our arts institutions, universities, etc. will experience an imminent critical lack of funding. So many of these institutions are involved in preserving works of art, literature, etc. How do we help them? How do we protect these resources when the new monsters running the government into the ground actively want to destroy them?

The college where I completed my master's degree is actively working to digitize performance archives and seeks donations for this process. Other than giving directly to institutions, is there anything we can do? The arts are a huge part of m

It's a sad day for lovers of the surreal and 90's PNW aesthetic (and BWT who love when those things overlap). BWT, to honor one of the greatest surrealists in contemporary media, can we share surreal art and culture that we've loved with each other?

Here's my list:

In dance: Pilobolus, specifically Martha Clarke's work (check out Nocturne - even just in photos, it's everything. Nocturne solidified my absolute need to pursue dance as a career.)

In short film: Ana Mendieta's shorts

In feature film: obviously Mulholland Drive for this David Lynch fanatic

In literature: The Crying of Lot 49. I realize some people may dispute this characterization, but I'm standing by it.

In 2024, I resolved to make all future resolutions fun and light hearted. I work on myself enough; I figured I didn't need to start the year off with a punishment. So for 2024, I resolved to incorporate more Italian and French flavors into my cooking. I'm considering something similar for 2025 but with Japanese flavors.

BWT, how are you going to take care of yourselves in 2025? What are the fun new projects you'll take on? What do you want to learn?

BWT, somehow in her class of 18 kids, my daughter has brought home approximately 37 goody bags so far this school year from her classmates' birthday parties. They are filled with candy, plastic toys that break immediately, and glitter. Each bag is a new source of frustration. My daughter is upset that I say no to eating all the candy at once. She gets sad when the toys break right away. The glitter (why is there glitter on everything) makes me feel like screaming.

I'm not trying to shame the parents who provide these. I understand that they are trying to do something fun for all the kids in the class. But I really try to monitor my daughter's nutrition and stay mindful of sustainability. T

BWT, my family is working hard to save for a house and for our daughters' education. I would like to cut back on spending. Even when I am proactive about saving and avoiding unnecessary purchases, I find that our grocery bill exceeds $125/week (for 4 people). Our utility expenses never seem to improve. I work hard to avoid mindless consumption, but it seems like there must be areas I'm missing.

What have some savvy BWT done to cut spending? How do you cut back on spending without making serious, painful sacrifices? What are some things BWT can do to get ahead financially?

Like many BWT, I am very busy with my career and family. I love reading, and I love watching great shows and/or movies when I have time. But I can't read and watch all the content out there - there's just not enough time. I thought it would be great if we could guide each other with recommendations regarding books with movie or television adaptations. Do you think it's better to read or watch?

Here are some of my recommendations (note some of these are quite old as I'm not at all up to date on new content):

Big Little Lies - watch! hands down

Little Fires Everywhere - read. In an afternoon. Preferably killing time on a flight or train ride. Fun little read though.

Sharp Objects - read. H

Hello BWT. I've been looking for the perfect backless dress for months. I'm determined to find something streamlined and elegant to have a Shiv Roy sipping champagne and looking like a billionaire moment.

I'm hoping to find a backless dress that's knee length or longer, solid colored, and sophisticated. Does anyone have recommendations?

Tell me about your experience with private schools in Queens! Did you find one you and your kids loved?

I'm very frustrated with the lack of locked doors/ring in systems in the public schools (fucking crazy with school shootings) and am looking at private options. Cost is not a consideration, but safety and security are very important to me.

This image is from the 1985 film Phenomena (also released as Creepers in the US). I'm super interested in this shirt or a similar one, especially that keeps a similar color scheme.

My apartment needs some art. I’m specifically interested in paintings but am open to other pieces if they feel right. I like supporting working artists and want original pieces, not prints or mass-produced Wayfair stuff.

Has anyone had luck sourcing very cool art for their home? Any independent artists here who I can support?

I have several religious events coming up this year and am planning what to wear.

My family has been invited to a Passover Seder. I am not Jewish; my husband is Jewish but nonobservant. I am interested in recommendations about what to wear to this event. I would like to be respectful and appropriate but also hope to not have to purchase all new clothing.

In a separate event, my baby will be baptized in a Catholic church later this year. I feel like, having grown up Catholic, I have that outfit down: midi skirt with an artsy print, solid black fitted top tucked in, kitten heels, possibly tights depending on weather.

I would also love to hear how people handle dressing for other religious
