avery’s state of mind

Welcome to Avery’s State of Mind, a hot new column featuring reviews, critiques, quizzes, collages, and everything else you’ll ever need (probably).

Avery was born and raised on the UWS and now resides in Downtown Manhattan. By day, she works as an unscripted TV casting producer; by night, she’s a comedian, writer, adventurer and tchotchke collector. She loves reading vintage magazines, listening to the radio, and embracing maximalism. You can find more at averylender.com or by subscribing to her newsletter here:
