"On a stage before them in a heated studio in Copenhagen stood five adults in bathrobes. Mr. Schow gave a little nod, and the adults cast off their robes. Facing the children, and the cameras, they stood completely naked, like statues, with their hands and arms folded behind their backs."
Gang Leader for a Day centers on Sudhir, a wide-eyed, ambitious young grad student who enters the nation’s largest public housing project to conduct a survey on what it means to be “black and poor in America.” He’s taken captive by the notorious Gangster Disciples, whose leader JT issues a challenge: If Sudhir really wants to find out about life in the projects, he needs to experience it firsthand. What follows is a seven-year odyssey through an intersection at the heart of urban American life in 1990s Chicago.
This little gem is cute, highly topical, unisex, and only $9.75 after discount. Please wear it and only it for the next thirty-something days.

"Hello! I have never met you and now you are my best friend and I love you so much! I am the dog and I would love to give you a tour of my home, where I keep my toys and my food and my pet humans and now you live here, too, because you are my best friend! I own this house despite not only not knowing what a mortgage is but also not even really knowing what my name is, especially when called, eighty-five per cent of the time!"
It me. I'm Collin. Shockingly, I hate talking about myself but here are the CliffsNotes. 31, Texan turned cruise ship character turned Texan turned Chicagoan turned Texan. Event designer and planner. Interior designer and stylist. Corporate badass. Partner and double dog dad. Cursed with an aggressive gluten intolerance but also a passion for bread and no fucks to give. Why a newsletter? It gives me a creative outlet with a deadline and my therapist says these things are important. Plus, I love to read, shop, share, and most importantly spend time on the internet. I don't sleep.
