Hello, I'm Rachel.

I am 25 and I live in NYC, but I grew up chasing tumbleweeds and hornytoads in New Mexico. I write things for a living, for now. I like the arts, photographs, old movies, the web, and the city, and tend to wonder how each influences the other. I thought this might be a good place to collect a few of the million images, sounds and ideas I get distracted by every day--sentimental though they may be. Welcome to my corner.

And if you just want to say hi, please do. I write back.

Ok, so forgive this interruption of nerdcore, but my crush on Elaine Stritch knows no bounds. It’s starting to become an issue. Look at those tights. They only let you walk out in that if you are a legend.

Please enjoy ten minutes of stand-up about Ethel Merman and Gyspy Rose Lee and old Broadway. And you can enjoy the incomparable ES in Beckett’s Endgame at BAM right now.
