Happy Valentine’s Day Gift Basket No. 1

By Edith Zimmerman February 14, 2012

Here’s what we have so far: Elizabeth Bishop’s homemade brownie recipe (“You see how innocent our lives are here — just making money and eating sweets”); a Carolita Johnson cartoon about love; this thing about how Shakira got bitten by a sea lion; even vintage-ier vintage Valentine’s Day cards; a new Decemberists song; Grimes’ new-album stream; and fiiive draaams of Qream. No, actually a quote from Pharrell, via a PR email: “No matter what you have planned for Valentine’s Day, I want you to take the time to pamper yourself on February 13th. Get your nails done, enjoy the company of friends, treat yourself to something nice; celebrate yourself.” So, that was yesterday. What will today bring?
