The Weekly Check In with Heather Neuburger
(Part of The Weekly Check In series)
Lane: What are you currently working on or just finished that you’re excited about?
Neuburger: I just started my own blog, brownpapercake , it’s totally random shit that I am inspired by, but it’s main focus is my musings about fashion. Gosh, I am turning into such a geek.
Lane: Where have you traveled so far this month?
Neuburger: Paris this spring. Pure MAGIC!! I ate an insane amount of pastries, steak, and delicious stinky cheese. My favorite museum was the Centre Pompidou. What a terribly ugly building. But filled with some of my favorite art works. I could wax poetic about Duchamp, Matisse, and Beuys forever.
Lane: What’s your favorite music right now?
Neuburger: I’ve been going through a 90’s goth phase listening to the Cocteau Twins non-stop. My best friend gave me 2 incredible Serge Gainsbourg records last week for my birthday, they kill me. And a lot of “world music”: Ethiopiques, Selda, some crazy Cambodian music and this great Tropicalia comp.
Lane: Best food you’ve had in your neighborhood lately or while you were traveling?
Neuburger: There is this restaurant in St. Germain-des-Pres that has no menu, it only serves steak frites. They ask you how you would like your steak, and then give you a salad with that perfect mustard dressing and then bring out this perfect little serving of steak and perfect crispy frites. Then they pour this incredible secret green sauce on, I’m not sure but there are some herbs and definitely a lot of butter in this sauce.
Lane: Anything else you want to mention?
Neuburger: I guess this is a pretty “mushy” weekly check in. But you asked for it, and that’s me. Oh and kurt, I really want to be the singer in a band with you and your badass wife.
