Recorded - Jan 6 . 2025hello you beautiful people !!!! i missed VN-ing you so let’s walk & talk. —Written - Jan 8 . 2025it’s 9:46am and i’m currently sitting my boney little booty on a cold, lonesome barstool in the san diego airport and sippin’ a buenaveza as I wait to board my flight to CABO!!!!(airport beers don’t count, right?!?!)we’re off to celly my bestie for finding an angel man who loves her so much that he agreed to put up with her antics for the remainder of LIFE! i am so damn exited. it’s been MONTHS since i’ve gotten the chance to enjoy some quality girl gang time… between all the moving and travel and life just life-ing, getting together with my all my girls in one place has become a rarity. looking back, i don’t think i really understood how special it was to be a girl in her 20s, living in the city just a block (or lil train ride) away from all my friends… and the older i get, like the deeper i grow into womanhood, the more i realize how important female friendships are and where i’ve fallen short. so take this as a sign to call your bestie and spill some tea and have some giggles!!!anywayzzzzzi have a shopping / packing meltdown voice note I’ll send you guys next tweeeek once i’m back in my body ᵕ̈ i’m currently reading I Regret Almost Everything by Keith McNally and so far, it doesn’t suck… though, i will say i’m on chapter 7 and it is pretty depressing haha. i haven’t read a memoir in a minute but i saw my friend’s husband’s dad reading this on vaca and minetta tavern is one of my favorite restaurants so it got my attention… nothing like a lil NYC lore!aside from that i’ve been beaching and eating and loving and reading and music-ing and hiking and creating and doing my best to figure out this new thingy i’m doing called island life… god i have so much to share - idk where my head has been!!!we’ll run it back next week.G2G ABOUT TO TAKE OFF!! x0Xo- Bxpretty in person is a reader-supported publication.

Brown bagging cherries to the mouth. Fingers sticky with Swiss chocolate melting down my hands. There’s no AC in Europe. I’m sweaty, jacked up on sugar, and stupidly happy on this summer Sunday.I hand picked each cherry at the local market in Basel and my mother-in-law hand picked this chocolate bar just for me. These cherries know how much I love them and my bonus mom knows how much I love chocolate.To be seen is its own kind of mercy.I’ve been thinking about being nice. And how sometimes you need to be mean to be actually nice. And how mean-nice is way more real than nice-mean. And that I’d love to see more of that on Substack. Or anywhere, really.I woke up this morning to a notification from a stranger named Whit (who I now subscribe to) and to say she made my day would be an understatement. SO today we sing. Today we dance. Today we eat cherries with our hands while chocolate drips down our fingers like feral little joy drunk squirrels and send bottomless sunbeams to the energy vampires still hiding behind their shade.Because smelling like pit stains and chocolate is way more fun than suffocating under bullshit vernacular.cry with me♡♡♡SEE U NEXT WEEK XOXOfor the underdogs (and honestly all dogs) ((including hot dogs)) This is a public episode.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit prettyinperson.substack.comVoice Note Housekeeping: Free subscribers get a 3-minute teaser—just a taste. Paid subscribers? You get the full shabang.The other day I published this note: It came from me rambling in the voice note above—fresh out of Publix, clutching a shiny new box of Sugar-Free Watermelon Red (my fav & it’s so addicting I’m screwed), still reeling from these two essays that slapped me in the face just hard enough to be a useful wake-up call. Lately, money and creativity have been taking turns kicking me in the shins. (So fun)Mostly because I’m unemployed and going stir-crazy, but also because the thought of working some soul-draining job makes me want to lie face down on Publix’s icky sticky epoxy floor, right next to the raw chicken beef tallow, and never get up. Yeah, I went there.Meanwhile, the urge to spend money I don’t have on plane tickets to Europe and expensive jeans that make my ass look downright delicious is unbearable.I think I have magpie syndrome.Quite the conundrum, no? Anywayzzz, these essays reminded me why it’s crucial to be completely, recklessly, unapologetically yourself—even if that means being a Mermaid floating around aimlessly until she finds the most divine coral reef to call home.[^…still not over it]Amie McNee’s piece I didn’t want a job gave me some sort of nameless thrill. Or maybe it was just anxiety. Probably both. Because, damn. I feel that. I also want my one silly little life stuffed to the brim with love and art and culture and fashion and music and beauty. I want to orbit interesting people with that mysterious, sexy business savvy. And people who are smarter, funnier, and more talented than me—because, I have to. It’s a necessity.I need it. All of it.I want the whole damn thing—money and joy. Not one at the expense of the other. It’s not that I don’t want a career, it’s that I refuse to accept some sad consolation prize when I know damn well what’s actually meant to be mine. Am I wrong for that? Does this ambition make me superficial or selfish? I don’t think so. It’s not like I’m a bad person, you know? I know what’s most important in life: family, friends, good health, etc. But why should that have to come at a cost of the other fun stuff?It shouldn’t. And I refuse to let it to.Every time I scroll the featured tab on Substack, I feel both exhilarated and doomed.There’s so much talent. It makes me want to be better. It makes me want in. And I don’t want to do it alone—what fun is that? I want to be in it with you and anyone else who feels that same manic itch for fun and creativity and connection and adventure.Alice Lemee reminded me in her piece of something I desperately needed to hear: stop rejecting yourself before the world even gets a chance to. Be delusional. Be brazen. Be the kind of person who walks into a room and orders life to unfold exactly how they want it.And I want that. I want this—Substack, this ridiculous digital blog thingy, Pretty in Person—to be my adventure that leads me to it all. I want to live anywhere, make enough money to create freely, and turn my absurd little thoughts into something that makes a band of bad bitches feel like they can take on the world and slay some serious dragons.Is that so much to ask???(No)I think it’s finally time to read the infamous Anaïs Nin that everyone on here raves about, though I have a feeling the second I crack her open, she’ll grab me by the collar of my pilled cashmere sweater, shake me out of my lazy-lizard daze, and demand that I start actually living.And then? Who knows—chaos, mayhem. Or even worse… the confidence of Britney Spears in a Pepsi commercial. That’s some scary shit, man. Not sure if you guys are prepared for that...(Me neither lol)So0oO0oOo, ya.

I need to start this off by saying that posting this while LA is up in flames feels wrong. Watching hundreds of thousands of people lose their homes while I sit here babbling about the hot-girl advantage of a spray tan and excitement of trivia night feels both ignorant and pointless. LA holds a special place in my heart, and seeing the devastation it's enduring is gut-wrenching. This is a harsh reminder of what truly matters in life - and I hate that it comes at the expense of others. If I could, I’d wake up Mother Nature herself, grab her by her dainty little shoulders, and command that girl to make it rain. I’d picture the streets of LA alive, filled with people dancing and singing in the miracle of droplets - similarly to the day Biden won in 2020 and Abbot Kinney turned technicolor in celebration. But I can’t.What I can do, though, is support the frontlines. If you’d like to do the same and make a donation to the California Fire Foundation -click here. Now, savor your day, you pretty little punchbowls of fruity goodness!!! Because as we know, in any single moment, everything can change.Now Back to Regular Pretty in Person ProgrammingHappy New Yurrrrrr!I hope your resolutions are resoluting and the holiday overload of cookies, wine, pasta, and all things sugar coated is making its way downtown, moving fast, digestive tract and you’re homebound da-na da-na da-na - get it, geeetttt it?! *creepy wink*Lol. Ok, whatever. I tried. Anyyyhoozer…Listing to this note back, every time I hear myself say “husband,” I feel so weird! One year in, and I still don’t feel adult enough to use the “H” word. It’s like every time I say it, I feel like I should either be:a. Churning butter b. Pretending I’m not google-ing “how to not shrink your clothes in the wash” Still, it’s kinda hot.

OK, HEY! Hi. It’s me. B ᵕ̈ Apologies for my 2 week(ish) hiatus, but honestly, not really. Pouring my soul and spilling my guts onto the internet like an all you can keep Chinese buffet is exhausting - especially when you have your family coming to visit you for a lil two week Euro tour. From the planes to the trains, the vine to the wine, and the existential crisis of watching an old greek man yank my best friend by the neck to join in on his greek circle of “ooopa!”… I am beat street - full of so much love for my people, but exhausted. I need about a week of Netflix and chill with absolutely no one besides my own sack of cells to recharge the social battery. Which, won’t happen because I’m going to Puglia tomorrow with the girls! That’s okay though, I’ll sleep in 53 days when I’m home. With Billy. And the dogs. And all the snuggles in the world. God, I miss my family. Anyway, more on all that later. Because what is important right now is that my energetic battery is officially about half-charge WHICH is just enough to wiggle these weary chicken fried fingers across the keyboard to announce… I’M BACK, BABY!!!!And guess what? I come bearing the gift of Part 2 of our second podcast. Don’t say I never gave you anything.De nada, bitches. XO, XO. I G2G.It’s 9pm and my bathroom floor has become a bath.

Honestly, I’m just going to post the YouTube Video of Virgil because, let’s be real, he convey’s this message better than I ever could. I’ve probably watched this video about 50x over in the past few years, but this month is the first time I actually feel like I am embracing his words rather than enduring them. I think that’s just what time does - it humbles you, building resilience, patients, and eventually a sort of quiet confidence that is both suborn and kind. Time distills into energy, energy transforms to essence - and in the end, isn’t that all we truly are? Writing to you live from a big ol’ bus slugging through the streets of nowhere-Italy, again. Except this time my class and I are headed to Da Vittorio to learn about shiny Michelin stars and eat the most expensive wet noodles I’ve ever had, formally know as the iconic Paccheri.

Hey! This Sunday really got me in my feels… Mercatino di Brera, which is an irresistible, pricey adorable flea market located by Chiesa di San Marco in Brera - the most charming neighborhood in Milan (I’m biased being that I happen to inhabit it). It happens every third Sunday of the month, therefore the third Sunday of each month is my favorite day ever. I only have two third Sunday’s left in Milan - I could cry. In fact, I did cry.Lucky for you I waited until this voice note ended! Annyyyywayzzz! I took some pix, but they’re pretty shitty. I’m no photographer, which is a shame. Everyone seems to be so good at effortlessly “catching the moment” with their shiny, pocket-sized contraptions that are permanently glued to our hands. Well, everyone except me. I swear. My friend and I will legit be standing in the same place, at the same time, marveling the exact same moment, and somehow their photo turns out MOMA-esque, meanwhile mine is giving crumpled-up yard sale flyer vibes. It’s a tragedy, really.OH WELL. I guess that’s why I pay my friends the big bucks to stick around lol. (omg ew that was such a dad joke, I think I’m turning into billy.) WARNING: This next pic is not for the faint of heart… It’s me, mid-nose bleed, just bleeding my own blood while I type this and send selfies to Billy. SO if that’s not your thing (which, I can’t imagine why it would be lol) DO NOT KEEP SCROLLING!However, for those of you who aren’t so squeamish… Can we just pause and have a moment of appreciation for how gorgeous my blood’s shade of red it?!

We started a pod(ish)cast! A new methodology for us to bask in our own extravagant sense of self-importance without any interruptions. Well - except for each other. (But we’re working on that. Kinda. Lol.)WELCOME to P.1 of Pretty in Person’s debut EP, “Billy Loves Becca”. This episode is a “get to know ya” sort of deal. Think of it like a round 1 job interview with HR for a start up that has a beer tower in the office. Except HR is my mom, everybody’s a liability, and it’s not an interview at all. Spoiler Alter: Complete Disfunction. It’s adorable. … Hence the 2 parts. I’m currently posting this trapped on a coach bus that smells like a dumpster fire, driven by a small angry Italian man yelling at everything and nothing all at - it’s hard to tell the difference. Meanwhile, I venture against my will to a Hospitality Financial Accounting Management course (Boh…) at JHD Hotel in the middle of nowhere, Italy. Because apparently, we have zero top of class hotels in the city center??? I digress. Luckily, I have two things turning my frown upside down: 1. This pod(ish), which I think moving forward I shall now refer to as “pish”. Pish-cast. I like it.* This selfie of me with a combover and my friend Julia sitting behind me being a passenger princess in her eye mask. My computer is on it’s last lovely breathe, so if I screwed something up on this scheduled post, pretend I didn’t. Deal? (Typos are people too)Anyhooooozer, I hope you like our first episode! We’re still getting our feet wet in regards to how we want this ‘pish-cast’ (lol) to go down. So, be easy on us! In truth, I’ve wanted to do this for a while, but I don’t think I’d ever actually “shit or get off the pot” if it weren’t for Billy being Billy - the best. I am one grateful girl over here. Also, pause: I am so pumped, I’ve always wanted to use that idiom. Hell yeah, so many firsts today!)Okay. Now, back to the program:Stage Direction: Ideally I think this episode is best consumed in bite-sized pieces (beep by beep). For peak enjoyment, if it were me, I would prob watch the first 15 minutes on my commute to work (with headphones, of course - the intro is pure art and we’re not on the market for any agents trying to steal our jeeeen-yuhs). Then the next 15 minutes on your way back from work or the gym or your sneaky hinge date or whatever it is that you do. And as for the last 15 minutes? That’s between you and God, baby.Final Thanks: Shout out to the fans, we freakin’ love you. Like, Subscribe, Comment,Share - you know the drill.XOXO! Toodles, THE RIZZLERS ⚠ Warning!

Disclaimer: They made me do a mother f*cking hike. And you know what? It didn’t suck. I actually loved it. Gasping for air between ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ while basking in fungi and evergreen trails. I even made eye contact with a cow. I feel enlightened now. More on that later! No but really, sometimes I feel like such a jerk when I listen back to my voice notes. Naive, naive - a young grasshopper ‘twas I. Oh, well. I’ll still hit send. The truth prevails! I guess that’s life, right? Always sneaking up on you with a fresh slice of golden humbleberry pie.

I like the ease of familiarity equally as much as I like the high of an adventure. The in-between is difficult. The in-between is grey. Or was I should say. There is a time to learn and a time to embrace.One is stoic, the other warm - both have their place. I don’t believe we can embrace what we have yet to learn.

Currently on the plane. En route to Milan for the next few months! AHHH!I have a vodka soda to my left and a human who cannot be moved to my right. I really hope I don’t have to pee soon. Outside my window is an abyss of darkness which is kinda freaky. Not one star in sight. Damn. I don’t know where I am right now, but I imagine I’m over some large body of water. Again, kinda freaky. If my 5th grade geography serves me right (it usually doesn’t) I would guess the Atlantic. BUT that’s neither here nor there because this plane smell like chicken, which is both gross and great. Gross because, well, you get it. Great because that must mean my hot plate will be here soon. Anyway, I digress… Movie wise we have a decent selection. I think I will go for something light and trendy, like The Fall Guy with Hot Gosling and Miss Baddie Blunt. Topic for Debate: Is it weird to take your shoes off while you fly? Does flight duration matter? Is it sock dependent? I would say yes to both. And definitely, double yes to the latter. I hate to admit this but I feel like it’s also person dependent, too. Like if you look like someone who has crusty crusts, it’s a no for me dog. OK! That’s all I got. Where’s my damn chicken?!TTYL. Byeeee!!!!Transcription: I am on the plane right now. I'm walking all the way to my seat which is seat 52A. I have never sat that far back in my entire life and I can tell that's where they seat the most important people but like on the low. Hold on. Here we are. Oh my god, there's nobody next to me.There’s nobody next to me. Let’s hope that nobody... (whispers for dramatic effect) f.cking sits next to me.Hold on.BEEP!I'm back. Nobody has still sat next to me and fingers are crossed, toes are crossed. Honestly, I believe this is the karma that I deserve because I have been a very good girl this summer. Italy, here I frickin' come. I was crying this morning nonstop because I had to say goodbye to the dogs and it just really hit me that my family is back home. Oh my god, somebody's about to sit next to me. Oh my god. Okay, wait, I can't tell. They might turn right... No, fuck. Next to me. Okay, anyway. I recorded a voice memo to post today and I tried to learn how to do audio editing on Audition and I kind of just screwed it all up. Whatever. This is why I just can't be bothered. So I'm going to post this because why not, right? Let's just live in the now. La Dolce Vita. Okay. Ciao. Prego. Let's get some pasta. Love ya. Bye! This is a public episode.

Hi! So, I’ve made an executive decision: I’m officially retiring from calling my anxiety “anxiety”. (Which, I actually do the complete opposite of in this voice memo lol… but doesn’t matter. I’ve decided I’m going to start… NOW!) This rebrand is mainly inspired by the fact that the word “anxiety” has been overused and, in my humble option, corrupted. It feels everyone (including me) and their Aunt Karen now claims to have anxiety.I was never one to be put in a box.Pause: Is the Karen joke still funny? Prob not. Whatever. Anyway, the word has gotten a bad rep and so have the people who capitalize off of it—knowingly or not. I feel like this has gone too far. I don’t even know how to relate to the experience of anxiety at all anymore. What is real? Who is wrong? It’s a cruel cancel culture world we live in—super culty. Don’t love it. Like Daddy Darwin once said, only the fittest shall survive. SO, to kick off this hard re-launch, I have decided to tap in a word that (TBH) is a much better fit for me anyway: Neurotic. Slips right off the tongue, eh?!Anxiety, to me, seems like a reaction to something—a trigger—that sends you right into a stressful spiral of fear and worry and chaos. I’ve totally been there before.But if I’m being FOR REAL, for real… I believe my truest truth is that my personality is just prone to experiencing negative emotions on a visceral level. I think I’m just a bit more naturally wired that way than the average person. My emotions aren’t like super stable off the top lol. For example: I currently am on edge and feel tight in my chest as I type this. But, in a peaceful way. Maybe I just have to pee. Or have had too much caffeine. Either way, my mind is quiet. Usually with anxiety I can’t feel my brain, like I’m not in my body or something.So, on a night last Sunday, when that familiar flutter creeps into my chest, I’ll remember to think to myself “Hey B, don’t stress! That’s just the innocent, quirky little part of you throwing a party. Oh là là!”I can live with that part of me. Maybe even learn to love it one day, too. If nothing else, it’s way more chill than the constant game of anxiety mind-monopoly. That shit is exhausting. And, clearly, I’m no good at it anyway. I think I should write more about this one day… Bookmarked. XOXO,Bx (ok, wait Bx was a typo for “bex” but I kinda love that now…) OKAY. TTYL. BYE! This is a public episode.
