Oh, Never Mind


Mary H.K. Choi - 2014
    Choi booked a one-way ticket to New York City and never looked back. Twelve years and countless jobs, dates and a bajillion dollars in rent later, she'd finally had enough.

From buying a criminally expensive Rick Owens coat to quitting bulimia to accidentally dating a guy who works at the airport, these profoundly funny essays capture a young woman’s struggles coming of age in a city that not only doesn’t sleep; it keeps you up at night. Mary H.K. Choi is a contributor to The New York Times, GQ, Wired, Allure and Billboard. She is the head writer of “Take Part Live,” a daily news show. She is a former editor of MTV Style and executive producer of the documentary “House of Style: Music, Models and MTV.” She’s written comic books for Marvel and Vertigo, and is a founder of Missbehave magazine.
