An Evening With Hamilton

The magic of Hamilton is how timely it feels— the major theme of the show is legacy.

Who owns the historical narrative, how should everyone feel they have a stake in their country, and what role does legacy play in telling our collective history?

icked off Virgo season & walked into my 23rd year of life last night watching Hamilton the Musical.

The magic of Hamilton is how timely it feels— the major theme of the show is legacy. Who owns the historical narrative, how should everyone feel they have a stake in their country, and what role does legacy play in telling our collective history?

And good, good music. And people of color taking up the whole stage. Welcome, 23.

Keeping the birthday on the brand, the night included: Taking public transportation in a [thrifted] gown to watching Hamilton in San Francisco (cap your carbon emissions, sis); Stopping at a thrift store before said musical because you forgot that Los Angeles and San Francisco have radically different climates (what’s good, @karlthefog?); Scoring the most beautiful trench coat from Out of the Closet, the world’s most fabulous thrift store that a donates 96¢ of every $1 to Aids Health Care.

And with that, today’s sermon is:

You create your own luxury.

Make it sustainable.

Gown – Thrifted. Bag – Behno. Trenchcoat – Thrifted via Out of The Closet. Necklace & Earrings: The Met Store. Rings: AU-Rate.
