I'll use this tweet to spur some reflections on ARTMS: Of course this is posted by a non-neutral account dedicated to supporting ARTMS, so it emphasizes that and not the tons of other recognition in the article. You will see my rankings and thoughts with respect to much of what's covered soon. For now I also want to focus on recognizing ARTMS and Club Icarus / Grand Club Icarus. Certainly attractive simply as a story of rebirth and triumph ("Reborn like a pheonix wing"), ARTMS as a group and as individuals continued to bring me no end of joy throughout the challenging and personally often painful year pf 2025.

Being a perfectionist and a strategic planner, I too often fall into the trap of a great strategy and plan and then slow execution due to trying to perfect every aspect of it before getting everything out. This year, with the amazing help of my assistant Kitty Kott, there was been a much better track record of getting stuff out continuously - especially on the fashion explorations on Instagram but in many other areas as well. In any case, on here, instead of creating the "perfect blog posts" I am going to share thoughts as they happen and evolve as I go.
