Michael’s siblings Fran and Hugo were in town for a bit, visiting from England, so it was a great excuse to host our first real dinner party (aside from a Thanksgiving feast we had with Brandon’s parents last year). I love hosting (I mean, I am the daughter of Pam McCaskill — the hostess extraordinaire!) because, as an adult, it feels like such a cool privilege. To invite a select few individuals to come into your home — your sanctuary; your intimate, emotional, artistic manifestation — and to feed them and cater to them and insist that the people you love do nothing but enjoy and experience and imbibe…how cool is that?
So I wanted to seal this memory in painting, which I gave to Michael and Amanda.
