ISSUE 15: Valentine's Day

And some movies with Asian ❤️.

THE YELLOW PAGES is a weekly newsletter recommending Asian and AAPI films, music, writing, and other inspiration — all the artsy things I wished for growing up!

🍷 Mai Vino: Ooooh, wine in a bag! Which means that it’s easy to take on romantic picnics and nobody has to fight over the proper way to use a bottle opener. Founded by Pam Chang and Mai Van Vu, their vegan/organic wine is “farmed responsibly, handcrafted, and packaged to keep fresh for 30 days after your first glass.” Find them at your local store or buy online.

🪴 Rooted: I’ve been known to kill my plants, but at least they stick around longer than fresh cut flowers. That’s why I think Kay Kai Kim’s delivery service is the perfect choice for someone like me who doesn’t have a green thumb but loves being surrounded by fresh greenery. My pick would be these String of Hearts, which are also pet friendly.

📳 Lioness: Marketed as “smart vibrators for smarter orgasms,” I’ve learned a lot from co-founder Anna Lee’s videos and am very intrigued. Sounds like their sex toys may be more intelligent than me: “… uses biofeedback, precision sensors, and pleasure data to help people learn more about their own arousal and orgasms.”
