MEET THE EDITOR: our quintessential galore girl, all about girl power, sex, beauty, style and bombshells. you may remember her from her days as a sex & dating columnist, but get to know isla cruz as your new senior editor and the brains behind kitten agency. (don’t worry, we’ll still let her spill on the tips!) here are some things you may or may not know: she grew up in chicago, where she says doesn’t actually have the best deep dish. we think she’s impartial, since she doesn’t actually like pizza (who doesn’t like pizza?). READ MORE _________________________________  “isla’s my most entertaining friend. it’s one of those things where no matter what she says i’m laughing. it’s joke around the office, at first i’d smile at my phone and everyone would assume it must be some guy laying on the lines, but anytime they’d ask what i was smiling at, i’d say isla. so now, god forbid i laugh at a meme on instagram, or they’re asking how my boyfriend is. .. i really think it’s just because she’s so fucking stupid.” “most confident, for sure. she doesn’t second guess herself. yea, in terms of looks, of course, but it goes beyond that. i think that’s why she’s done so well in her job, because she’s not afraid to say what she’s thinking and put her ideas out there. she can get a million no’s, but is always coming back trying to get the yes, and it seems like she always gets it.” “double d’s. no, not boobs. she doesn’t have much going there. dramatic and diva. i think those are her downfalls. one time, she got a swedish massage by accident, and spent the next two days in actual tears. she told me she would rather jump off the brooklyn bridge with bricks tied to her ankles than feel the way she felt. .. the most unnecessary. then there come’s the diva. it’s her way or no way most times, she can be shallow, she can be completely self-involved.” “she always listens to me! everyone’s busy, everyone has their own problems.. but isla’s the one person that will answer my call in the middle of the night and listen to me talk til morning. her advice feels the most genuine, thought i think if i’m being totally honest i prefer hers because it’s always the most sugar coated. whatever! some of us need that.” “i don’t know about you, but the older i get, the more boring my friends get. they want a wine night, to sit and talk about chrissy teigen’s new cookbook, and their favorite recipes from it. that’s bull shit, we’re not 50 yet. i mean all i’m asking for is bottomless saki and sushi, it’s not too much to ask! isla always says yes. it’s my favorite part about her. how much do you want to bet if i called her and said let’s go to miami tonight she’d say no? because i could really use the extra $$$.” “isla’s such a caretaker, sometimes i don’t get how she manages to take care of herself. it’s better now that she’s not trying to take care of a husband and relationship - but it’s always something. the worst part is that she thinks it’s a character strength, but with her it borders the line of defect.” “as easy as everyone thinks isla is to love, i think she’s more easy to hate. you know the girl who has everything she shouldn’t have? handed to her so, so easy? that’s isla. a body she’s never worked for, clothes she doesn’t have to pay for, name at the top of the list for every party worth being at because of her stupid job, oh.. and the hottest guy i’ve ever seen and the most annoyingly perfect relationship in the world. or did, whatever. i know she’s kind of my friend, but i have to say, i’ve never been more happy to see one thing fail. you can’t have it all.” _________________________________  piece of jewelry, purse, memory, song, coffee shop, kimoji, perfume, ice cream  _________________________________  "my favorite thing to do every sunday morning would be my first cup of lilac tea while catching up on isla’s work. sometimes i thought it was crude, sometimes i didn’t agree, but most times i was gleaming with pride. the more she wrote and the more she directed, the more her name would appear elsewhere. the reading was still interesting, but i began feeling like i didn’t know my daughter as well as i thought i did. bubbly, sweet, honest.. she might still come off as, but isla from winnetka didn’t drink much, and she sure wasn’t writing her favorite blowjob tips for the town paper. i began to worry a bit, as any mother would. we may be from chicago, but new york felt much bigger, and further, i didn’t like feeling like i couldn’t protect her if need be. this was a first, seeing as for the first twenty years of her life she never once made me worry. but she assured me it was work, that she wasn’t losing who she was, and that it came down to her knowing her audience. the worries subsided for awhile, but lo and behold, they found their way back. seeing her in november made me worry more than any silly article. you know she didn’t even tell me the real reason she and samson got divorced? she couldn’t deal with his job anymore, that’s the story she told, the story she’s sticking to. if it weren’t for mrs. lawrence knowing the truth from her daughter i’d have had no idea. that doesn’t matter though, not right now anyway. how lifeless and drained she looked, that matters, how she’s too stuck in her own mind to listen but too proud to speak matters. i see how she plays it off, but i know her too well to buy it." _________________________________  remember when you used to make fun of me for writing letters i’d never send? i guess you didn’t get it, that even just writing it down and getting it off my chest was comforting in some personal way. i wonder if you’re wondering if i’ve already written a hundred of these to you already, and i have, but i still don’t feel better, so i guess i’ll keep putting it out there.  |
