There were 23,964 students in 104 private schools in San Francisco during 2023-24. By comparison, there were 52,715 students in San Francisco public schools so private school enrollment represents 31% of the total.

I spend a lot of time in austere rooms eating tweezer food. Many of these meals have no local connection - they could just as easily have been served in Copenhagen or Berlin.

Saturday, May 4, 2024 Today, we remember the gorgeous Audrey Hepburn, who was born on this day in 1929 and passed away in 1993.  Did you know she was a muse and a longtime friend of Hubert de Givenchy for 40 years? They influenced each other’s lives and careers profoundly and brought Hollywood and couture closer together.  The two met in 1953 when she stepped into his Parisian atelier, searching for looks for her upcoming movie Sabrina.

Friends! Welcome to the final recap of this season of The Gilded Age — if you’ve missed any of them prior to this, you can catch up here. As I noted last week, as of this writing, Max has not yet renewed this show for another season and I am frankly concerned that its budget, which has to be high, is going to kibosh the further adventures of Bertha Russell and her band of merry bitches.
