A Thing or Two with Claire and Erica

Kim France and a Weirdly Moving Meditation Technique


Listen Later

It's possible you've been consuming content by Kim France for thirty-ish years, and we're here to talk about all of it (including her new podcast—which, have you listened?!). Also, not to be the people who talk about our meditation experiences, but we kind of can't shut up about this one time, ok?

The linkage:

Hit up the Sky Ting yoga classes taught by Marisa Meltzer (in NYC) that we loved.

Check out Kim France's podcast, which she co-hosts with Tally Abecassis, called Everything Is Fine and her fashion 'n shopping blog Girls of a Certain Age. Both are ideal for women over 40 and the over-40-curious.

How Sassy Changed My Live, which the very same Marisa Meltzer co-authored with Kara Jesella, is itself iconic at this point.

Kim goes deep on her creative partnership with Andrea Linett while running Lucky in our book Work Wife.

For a preview of the book Kim is writing, read her Medium essays about the beautiful house that didn't make for a beautiful life and depression at the Condé Nast holiday lunch. Oh, and read her essays on vanity and dressing your age for The Cut while you're at it.

Speaking of editors in chief, Dan Peres (of Details) just released As Needed for Pain, and this NYT story about that whole late-nineties/early-aughts magazine era is pretty juicy.

Kim shops The RealReal (join the club!), Warm, and Maria Cornejo.

Shout out to the magazine Gossamer, which is for people who also smoke weed.

Two friends we lost much too soon: David Rakoff and Jason Polan.

Bring on that menopause content. See: Darcy Steinke's book Flash Count Diary, Party Girl, this Broad City scene, and this Fleabag one.

You wanna talk about beauty stuff? Excellent! Kim is very into Drunk Elephant, SK-II Pitera Facial Treatment Masks, Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer, and Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. For a red lip, she's all about Kosas in Royal, Lipstick Queen, and those Nars Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencils.

Kim's watching Cheer, Fleabag, Killing Eve, The Crown, Victoria and reading Why We Can't Sleep by Ada Calhoun, Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret, and (as always) Go Fug Yourself.
