【VOGUE】What momentous news to be kicking off the New Year with: stoked to announce that I’ll be joining VOGUE China as their Editor-in-Chief. 新年伊始，我很高兴地告诉大家一个好消息：我将加入VOGUE China。期待着早日回到中国！

【LUNAR NEW YEAR】Wishing you all peak prosperity, good health and inner wealth for this most industrious Year of the Ox。朋友们， 恭祝你和家人牛年大吉，万事如意！

In Sydney, I’ve been back on tennis lessons twice a week and Pilates with beautiful Jaimie once a week.

Stay safe and well! Know that so many people are in exactly the same mental space, and there is no one right way for every case.

【RE-BLUE】

My brother and I have watched too many of Toast et al.’s Among Us stream edits and cringe ATP tennis commentary videos to count. Also regularly cycle through Graham Norton clips (my favourite is this extremely Irish episode), June Xie’s meal challenges, 李子柒 Liziqi’s mountain existence and agadmator’s chess analyses.

【REFRESH】’tis the season for watching other people consume dairy。Mask up and stay safe out there, y’all 🌴

【CHÂTEAU DES DAMES】Some self-timer CC’s in the mix with Juergen Teller’s view on the ground in the Loire Valley。

I’ve never had any drugs/alcohol/etc, so am probably not best-placed to provide any meaningful insight on this one. Many friends in different parts of the world smoke recreationally and/or take other cannabis products for both physical and mental health benefits (ranging in frequency/severity of health conditions they are addressing). They’ve all explored their bodies’ reactions to different forms and are clear on their limits, or what format they enjoy in what environment. As with all new things, it’s most important that you’re trying it on your own terms, that you’re among trusted friends in a safe space, and that you are clear on where the product has come from.

【BLUE MOON】This year has just been one long manic cackle fr 🤡🎃

【MOON WORSHIP】pt 1/2。Last week marked Mid-Autumn Festival 中秋节 — the fifteenth day of the eight month of our Lunar calendar, when the moon is at its brightest and roundest, and we give thanks for family and food on the table (physically manifest in mooncakes 月饼 🥮🥮🥮 — smooshy pastries filled with lotus or red bean paste — shared with family and friends). This is my first year making mooncakes sans Mama 章 Zhang’s tutelage — pictured is Batch Four after three rounds of exploded ones… 朋友们，中秋快乐！Call your mum and tell her you love her and you miss her cooking, y’all 🌝🍁

【SUNDAY LIGHT STUDIES】pt 4。“SANITISING GROCERIES AT TWILIGHT” (2020) [photographs] 🍐🍋🍊

Tiny tastes of my birthland after two weeks in a quarantine hotel, finally able to squeeze my family again, finally able to breathe outside of the dumpster fire that is the USA.

【TWEEN SWIPE】It’s 2020 and I have regressed to dressing like a 2002 Zhang and I’m thrilled 🛹
