Oh no,what have I started…
Over the weekend,Interview Magazine published a Pulitzer-worthy piece titledDate Night by actor Julia Fox,in which she described in detail her second (!) date with West.
Remarkable not just for its jarring length (barely two paragraphs),the article explains how Fox and West met in Miami on New Year’s Eve,returned to New York City to watch Broadway productionSlave Play,then had dinner at upscale restaurant Carbone where West directed Fox in a public photoshoot before whisking her off to a hotel room suite full of clothes to give her a fashion makeover.
Oddly enough,this already sounds familiar.
You’re right,it’s basically an episode ofKeeping Up with the Kardashians - the one where Kanye shipped in a roomful of clothes to re-style his now ex-wife Kim. In any case,Fox’s article also included very intimate photos from their dress-up date.
Wow. Ok so wait,who is Julia Fox?
We have to start all the way back there,do we?
Yes. Who is she?
If you’d seen the Safdie Bros’ 2019 cult faveUncut Gems,you wouldn’t be asking that. If you haven’t,why haven’t you? WatchUncut Gems. I mean,it’s right there on Netflix in the Adam Sandler aisle.
Fine,I’ll watchUncut Gems (eventually). Until then,give me the Julia Fox rundown.
She’s a Manhattan scenester-turned artist-turned actor,she’s 31,she’s a single mother to a year-old son,and as every article likes to note,she also worked as a dominatrix for a while. Since her screen breakthrough inUncut Gems,she’s also featured in Steven Soderbergh’sNo Sudden Move. She hosts a podcast calledForbidden Fruits with friend Niki Takesh.Vogue described her as an “all-around It girl who looks like Debi Mazar crossed with Jessica Rabbit”.
