It’s sexy, it’s little, it’s my email for you! Welcome to my Sexy Little Email back in my New Normal New York life edition. I’m writing to you from my desk, which is business-woman vibes. I always dreamed as an adult I’d have a briefcase, but you don’t really see those around anymore do you? It’s all about flimsy eggshell-colored tote bags that say things like “my other car is a cake” or “men are not bae” or “eat tacos, be alive,” etc you get it! I just had Sweetgreen delivered to my apartment (sad) and landed on the chicken pesto parm, which I never thought would be good or right for me, but it is actually. I hope this inspires you today to rethink how you order at Sweetgreen and why? and for who? ok I’m being suuuuch a guru today. I’m about to hop on Zoom (america’s greatest pastime) for therapy. My stomach hurts. Is this good writing?
My biggest life update is that I’ve received (aka bought for myself) a Citibike membership and have been hauling my wide ass up over the Williamsburg bridge to see my hot/kind boyfriend/lover. I am so out of shape that it does almost feel like I’m going backwards as I ride up the incline but somehow I always end up on the right side of the bridge. EvErYtHiNg HapPeNS 4 A rEAs0n <3 do y’all believe that? ugh I hope it’s true. Life feels so truly painful right now. Oh also I bought a cute bike helmet. Selfie below.
After therapy I’m going to bike to Prospect Park to see a dear friend. I just bought something called Fit Vine Wines?? which is supposed to be healthy wine? I’m laughing, ur laughing, we’re all laughing for the concept of healthy wine. Healthy wine…almost as sad to me as a Boozy Milkshake…it’s like…pick a lane!!!
I hope you’re having a gorgeous monday and for those asking (2 amazing ppl) YES my bedroom ceiling is FIXED and I even got new bedding, in which I will only have Sweet Dreams. My new bedding is the color ochre, which I just learned about. Ochre at 29 years old! Life is full of surprises (both good and bad I have found out). Love to you all. Be safe, wear masks, register to vote, be nice to yourself……you know the drill baby!! XOXO
POEM TIME
new new york poem #1
no one’s ever felt as good or bad as me
I’m sorry I can’t write anything
that’s not about myself
it seems my doctor
has prescribed a steady diet
of outdoor dining and wine
do you think taylor swift
has ever walked over the brooklyn bridge?
new new york poem #2
it’s 2020 and it’s punk to start a family
there’s nowhere to be except online
I’m thinking of doing a type of therapy
where you just breathe a lot
I’m getting linen sheets
and walking by restaurants
I’m biking over the bridge
and pretending to be in a movie
which is one of the best things you can benew new york poem #3
one time I saw the guy from GIRLS
on the phone outside
I wonder if he misses me
there’s a world in which I never
bought the Keurig I don’t use
but I’m not supposed to
think about the past
or the future which leaves
a lot up to the imagination
that quirky bitch
ALSO— a few important life updates:
1. I had the best time doing a reading of a new PLAY written specifically for ZOOM by Natalie Margolin. It stars Beanie Feldstein, Ben Platt, Ashley Park, Ayo Edebiri, Kaitlyn Dever, Noah Galvin, Molly Gordon, and more! More details here <3
2. I’ll be back at Club Cumming (sans audience) doing my slutty little songs & jokes (with live music baby!!!) on October 14th. some guests will be IRL, some via zoom, it’s called making it work! grab your ticket here: clubcummingnyc.com
3. I’m SOO thrilled to tell you beautiful angels that we raised $4213 for The Loveland Foundation this past month, which means we’ve raised over 8K since I started My Sexy Little Email!! Keep up the good work honeys & tell your friends about MSLE <3 wow the acronym I never knew I needed

lol the "breathing a lot" therapy is great!! (if it's what I'm thinking? breathwork?) highly recommend!!
I know u were joking but i just went thru the worst year of my life (original !) and it pushed me to finally seek treatment™️ for the mental health issues it turns out ive been struggling w my whole life thus inadvertently fixing my broken brain and making me feel happy and hopeful for the first time ever!!!!!!!!!!! So now i think........maybe everything DOES happen for a reason? Is that crazy? Anyway love u forever cathrine these lil emails make me smile : )
