Dispatch no. 44 - Updates Podcast

Question: if you do own a house in NY by yourself - how will you deal with issues of isolation? Especially if your family is in San Diego? On a related question: do you own your own car? Would you drive it cross country to your new home? Are you planning on moving your sets? If so: how?

Hackney Empire in Midnight

Hey! In my home remodel I put in a House of Hackney wallpaper! I have a whole roll left! We should talk!

You are badass! You immediately proceeded to talk about your interest in still life painting and Jan van Huysum’s story. How is that not cool 😭 You have a whole channel dedicated to fashion and sewing. I think that’s awesome 🖤 So exciting to start house hunting! Do you have plans and drawings of how you’d like to arrange and decorate some of your future rooms?

Also; As were hurtling towards full on winter, will there be more ice dying adventures & experimentation with all free snow knocking about in Colorado this time of year? Salt or sweet pocorn for movie nights 🍿 & when you do move home, are we all invited to the housewarming?? (I wouldn't come, because, ya know... people, but, it's always nice to be invited isn't it? 😁 😆)

Mood Fabrics, LA looks so much more accessible than NY. It's a shame I'm not a teensy bit closer! Beautiful little snapshops of your family break 💛

I have thought you could radio too, but how to do fashion radio? 🤔

I lived in Escondido Ca for 11 years. It was beauteous but I'm glad we got out! I now live in a teeny town in Ks. I call, HEAVEN! The pop. here is 250!

I live one town over from Orange and I can confirm that Elsewhere Vintage is my go-to shop in Orange County. They always have great stuff.

Q&A: I know you said you don't enjoy flying but have you ever considered visiting Australia? (I'd be happy to take you antiquing here in & near Melbourne!)

I love a good ramble. Thanks!

The Huntington is gorgeous! And a public service announcement: if folks aren't around Pasadena, they also have a pretty great online museum store. :)

I’d never heard of house of hackney before, but now I’m obsessed. I’m glad you had a good time with your family at thanksgiving. It’s 40 degrees (Celsius) with 80% humidity here at the moment, so your chilly weather and cat snuggles sound amazing 😅 We’re having a quiet Christmas at home this year too and I am hoping to start designing my first (very small and nowhere near as good as yours) collection (eek!) so I will happily have your videos on repeat. Can’t wait to hear more about your house hunt in the new year ☺️ keep well Xx

It’s very nice how you talk about your family. There’s a lot of love there.🥰 For your Q&A: Do you dream in colour? (I do and apparently most do, but some do not and I find it curious); Assuming you like potato chips/nachos (this is my weakness) what flavours have you tried or would you not want to try? We have some unique flavours here in Canada (all dressed, ketchup). Chip flavours are fun stuff!!😀

You already do have a voice for radio -- I've always thought you sound like Mary Robinette Kowal. I do have two of my x-rays -- my spine and my left foot. Haven't figured out what to do with them yet.

Happy holidays Bianca ❤️ I've been busy and not keeping up but still happy to know you're doing well

For the Q&A: What brings you joy in life? What do you recommend to make with floopy rayon? What current fashion styles do you like/dislike? What is your dream garment to make (assuming you have all the money in the world and all the skills to do so)?

yes you can depop, and you're a mid millennial (2001 baby here)

I love your voice! It's so calming, plus I love your sense of humor and the little 'hem hem' noise you do 😊
