Here’s a personal reminiscence I like to rehash because it’s flattering.
When the film Juno came out, I was the protagonist’s age and all my friends were like, "Whoa Juno talks just like you!" This was cool because Juno was witty and deadpan (the dream) but, also, lame, because who wants their cadence copped by a movie character when they’re 16? Can’t I have one thing that’s just mine? Geez.
Anyway, when I saw this crazy cactus-cupcake DIY, I thought of Juno, who says, "My mom inexplicably mails me a cactus every Valentine’s Day. And I’m like, "Thanks a heap coyote ugly. This cactus-gram stings even worse than your abandonment." I also thought that it was just too cute/insane to not bring to your attention.
I might not actually spend Valentine’s Day crafting succulents out of fondant but, then again … I might. —Adrienne Matei
