YAY this is one of my favorite things the Toast has ever done, and I’m so glad I got to see it live! Sitting next to Mallory’s mom, no less. Also I know I already gushed at you about your shoes, Mallory, but OMG THOSE SHOOOOOES.
Goddamn, Mallory, you are amazing.
Mallory stop being perfect and funny and beautiful and charming and well-dressed and good at public speaking
stop immediately
also your hair is glorious and glossy and thick and how do you do that, mallory, what are your secrets, i must know so that i can consume them all
This is a short step away from “I must eat her brain to gain her power”.
Your username is quite appropriate for your comment.
I WAS THERE
She kicked it off with Dirtbag Teddy Roosevelt and I promptly lost my shit, because he can bench press any American he wants to.
Where’s the video of Dirtbag Teddy Roosevelt?? The public demands it!

This is seriously the best thing I’ve ever seen and the lady who plays Taft is killing the straight man role.
omg this is amazing
SO JEALOUS of you Toasties who got to experience this in the flesh. And Ms.Ortberg, I love what you’re wearing: the form fitting cardigan, the dress, the colours! Yep, stealing this look at the first opportunity.
Oh, and your writing is brilliant, like those shoes. Those beautiful, beautiful shooooes.
It was such a fun event! I had never been to Housing Works, either–what a great space! I was hoping to meet fellow Toasties but the place was packed. Does anyone know if there’s going to be a Queens (Astoria) meetup soon? Is there a Facebook group for Astoria Toasties or Queens Toasties?
There isn’t a FB group just for Queens, but there are quite a few members of The Coterie who live in Astoria (like me!)… I would be up for a meetup
y’all i almost just typed MEATup, which is also happening but still
at some point soon!
Awesome! How do we get people together?
That *is* a great dress! And more importantly, the SHOES! I must know how I may procure some!
And of course your reading was BOSS.
It was AMAZING, it was much like standing near the sun for an extended period of time, I walked home with a leftover residue of Inner Purpose and Disdain for Men in my soul.
Mallory honestly- it’s so lovely to have female heroes. I didn’t get a chance to do the book signing thing (could not buy the book on account of stolen wallet, was too embarrassed to have you sign my Russian textbook), but I lied extensively in order to escape a prior commitment to come to the event and it was absolutely worth it and I will order your book for myself and several of my friends as soon as I can. Thank you for being extremely funny and bright and witty and good. It was really, really wonderful to get to see you in person.
I’ve been informed by a coworker that the girl standing next to us almost fainted more than a few times while Mallory was speaking. Like literally swooned.
How melodramatic of her. She must read too many novels.
can you just read aloud for us everything you’ve ever written please great thanks bye
omg this is amazing
Swoooooon! Swooning all about the place!
It is becoming super-hard to contain my lady-crush.
IS THAT SERIOUSLY WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE
"Hello, I'm every scary-amazing girl who has ever been too good for you to even entertain a crush on, coalesced into a single online personality. Tickets are now available to listen to my avatar talk like a fairy tale princess. Please direct your terrified infatuation to the comment sections of my eternal internet empire, thanks."
I was there.. Nice
Not to forget being convinced you’ll never marry, then finding the love of your life (who has 2000 Somethings a year) and promptly marrying him. (After saying something arch yet generous about your rival, of course.)
You’re my new favorite.
