## Resource

This week, we have an extraordinary guest from the windy hot dog stand of Chicago, Julia Z. Caisip @sartorialfantasybox was kind enough to grace us with her knowing presence. An amazing writer, a student of aesthetics, and someone who blurs the lines of many subcultures, it was a fantastic conversation. We talked Eastern European fiction, the concept of "Writing Up," finding subculture through an identity crisis, how Ivy is the punk of tailored clothing, embracing queer and butch culture, Dress Sneaker Hate Fest, DND, Steam Punk, character study, stunted American sexuality, and a shoutout to high school English teachers, and a mustard squirt more!
