Sector Head, Michael Barton threatens, “My wishes are only two words.” 

I asked Designer Lillian Dilustro for her list and she sent me a video of a tall, handsome, bald man, “It’s this.” She followed it up with Vestiaire screenshots “Cosplay girlfriend fantasy looks,” the desire for a December blowout, and vintage Volcom, “for skate wifey life.” Our messages went cold after that, “Tapping out for sex.” 

Musician and Heartthrob Ryan D wants a large supply of Harmless Harvest coconut water, black leather fingerless gloves, an original Vietnam Era M1911, Balmain FW10 Waxed Bomber jacket and Marantz PMD222 tape recorder.

"I'm still waiting for all of my past wishes to come true,” says New York’s Best Kept Secret, Flex Tina, “So, I would like all of my friends to make me an ornament for my tree. It’s easy, you can tie a string onto anything.”

For the last five years, I have hoped to include a wishlist from Kailand O. Morris, but he has never quite made the deadline. This year, he sends his “haslist,” on time, and in the form of a five-page deck Page 1: ‘Answers for the absolute lovely Bella M. Lucio Christmas release.’ Page 2, What I have for Christmas: my beautiful lovely sweet wonderful intelligent Bellz, my queen, my queen Tina, my Sirena, my Brent, my Trusky, my Drea, Simone Leigh “Last Garment” shown within her LACMA exhibit, hand sculpted wooden hoop earrings, David Adjaye designing the exteriors of my house, a space in nyc to host The Café Radio, great sex with my beautiful Queen, an Oscar, everyone who’s reading this doing a kind gesture to a stranger, alignments, remembrance, no resistance, great energy, love, peace. Page 3: “And I almost forgot, a ‘Boys like Cake’ movie adaptation.” Page 4: LISTEN Page 5: APPRECIATE

Film Editor and WBOTY Charlie Horne wants a 1981 AMC eagle Sundancer, a permanent parking space for said Sundancer, an original WW2 RAF Coastal Command Flying Jacket, all 28 releases of the Cinema One Series in Hardcover,  Churches Air Travel leather slippers, and a copy of November 5, 2025’s NY Post. Charlie would also like the family adventurer membership at the Natural History museum, “So I can take my nephew.”

Spiritually Sound It Girl Sirena Warren submits her list in an email with the subject line, Sirena Warren Goated Christmas. She wants a Chanel Deca Matelasse 34, “I’m fine with gold hardware, but no caviar leather, I hate when it has that texture... For the love of God,” as well as a Chanel Fur Shoulder Bag “I think it’s the most me bag I’ve ever seen,” and a Balenciaga Rodeo bag with cat heart keychain. She wants anything from this Instagram account and a 1920s Hollywood bungalow in Laurel Canyon, “I’m leaving West LA.” She also wants the Celine planet boots, a Katana from the Edo period, Balenciaga FW07 boots, a PRO4500 full-body red light panel “to reset, like an Alien, at night,” Gucci by Tom Ford snakeskin fur jacket, Chanel 2013 Métiers d’Art Paris jacket, a custom Yoga-Urt flavor named after her, tickets to the World Cup Final 2026, and a Comme des Garçons Play Heart Polo in size Small, “I want it to fit a little loose.”

The most beautiful girl at New York’s Gagosian Sasha Rosenberg wants to meet Lindsay Lohan and for people to put their phone down “myself included.” She also wants a new President and these Chanel earrings.

[Mr.] Director Kevin Lombardo wants 2 round trip tickets to Busan, 3-pack Calvin Klein Cotton Briefs, 3-pack White Umbro Cotton T-shirt, 2 packs Mint Tea Tree Oil toothpicks, 1 lost earphone replacement for Apple Airpod pro 2, and 15 packets of Liquid IV. 

Eclectic Dresser, Managing Editor, Freelance Writer, and Pro Shopper, Maya Kotomori, begins her Google Doc transmissions with, “Personally all I want for Christmas is a liberated and restored Gaza, 36mm Ballon Bleu de Cartier Watch in yellow gold and steel, and a book deal, but I’ve decided to make a teensy list for you since style icon Miss Bella pinged me.” Maya wears a US 12/14 (EU 40) shoe, “meaning no vintage competition when it comes to snagging one of one pieces,” but of course, she still looks at other sizes... She would get a EU37 wearer these Balenciaga AW10 penny loafers or these (37.5) Dior AW03 bondage pumps. For the McQueen conscious this SS97 tire track tank top, or this Lestat-esque ruffle blouse, or this fur coat number. In the spirit of Christmas and for the love of rouge, this Hermes Picotin 22. The final link of her Doc takes us to the Comme des Garçons lumps and bumps dress from 1997, no explanation needed, gift accordingly.  

The brain behind Mixed Ingredients, Pinto Cattington, wants a gift card to 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Oregonian bamboo rhizomes, a house of mirrors, 3-5 ripe Pu-erh Tea Cakes, and a Joe Colombo Elda chair, “Looks like a brain, [place] for thinking.” Pinto also wants dialects to stop dissolving in the face of modern interconnectivity,  Eccles cakes made with Einkorn flour, *Shit and Die* (Paperback), “in very good condition or better or, better, *Die / Die More / Die Better / Die Again* (portfolio in cardboard box) in mint condition.” Finally, he needs absolution on the issue of to or fro, “I am entirely impartial as to the bearer of the gift, but I need it, as it's an issue I find myself constantly going back and forth on.”

Formidable, Claire Buchanan, wants white Ray-Ban sunglasses and celibacy.

Biuro Co-Founder, Mila Rowyszyn, tells me, “All I want for Christmas is a sunny Polish morning with my parents and grandma on December 24th, maybe Sirena’s mums Thanksgiving fish stew, maybe a frozen Prosecco glass, maybe a Bvglari serpenti viper pink gold 53 ring, and a happy new year.”

Food Critic and Writer, Paloma Baygual, wants a flight to Korea, “That’s the next place on my bucket list and it would be a great help.” She wants Gohar’s Silver Plated Crumb Catcher because, “Imagine someone dropped crumbs on your table and you whipped this out.” She wants these egg yolk and soy packets to put over rice, egg yolk and sweet soy on rice is one of her favorite foods so she has been reluctant to buy them for herself and become addicted, “but if they showed up at my door I’d certainly love it.” She also wants Match’s pewter matchbox, because it is simply beautiful.

Model and Friend Quinn Mora wants to go to a Rage Room and the Margiela store for a shopping spree “ideally in the same day.” She also wants a meet and greet with Jake Johnson, but she would settle for a FaceTime call, a hug from Christopher Briney [as Conrad Fisher] “in a respectful platonic way,” a pool table with a beautiful apartment to put it in, a domesticated baby raccoon, and a vacation in the Caribbean. 

Ren William Nakamura says that he can’t think of anything specific, “But more hours in the day would be amazing.” He follows this up by saying he wants a pair of shoes, “Preferrably black, I have a few ideas.” Knicks tickets, Everything But The Girl’s Walking Wounded on vinyl, and more information to work with when making decisions. “Oh, and dinner with A***** J****…” 

Ailene, of Come Correct, tells me, “I had to really contemplate on this because I think the only thing that would set my soul free is not desiring anything, but I’m going through a break up so… A revenge dress from London designer Viktor Gichev would be incredible gift.” Or a Spring 2026 McQueen Bumpster revival, “I think buttcrack is very powerful.” She wants a 2008 Mercedes Benz SL with all nude interior “to drive fast and far away in.” A weighted hula hoop and a membership to Gyrotonics for pelvic and core strength. “A day at the beach with my best friend because I miss her a lot.” A permanent spot to host the Come Correct showroom and salon, “a meeting of all the beautiful minds I know.” Anything tie dye. “I also heard about this LA based waxer to the porn stars, they did that 2003 Gucci ad with the logo shaped into her pubes, I would love to find someone in New York who could do something custom like that for me. I’m scared of waxing though.” 

16 year-old Matt wants testosterone therapy, a Polaroid instant printer, black cowboy boots, a Canon G12, and Depop money. Matt also wants to get into college, an apartment promised to him “for when I get into said college,” and, “for people at school to stop talking about 2Hollis.”

I asked Kirsten Chen, Fashion and Fetish Consultant, Aspiring Video Star, Everyone's Favorite Fetish Doll,  Incredible Instagram Story Poster, “I'm also a Writer and Strategist,” what she wishes for this holiday season. She wants to temporarily pause her vision with the help of a silk blindfold, preferably Coco de Mer’s 2014 edition, with the sexy and slightly ominous embroidered phrase, 'Always be desired but never possessed.' Balenciaga’s Hotel Mule on Heel from SS24, “I live to write in shitty motels, but I need the contrast of packing a luxurious hotel slipper. I really regret not getting these heels.” She wants ALL-MALE, a 1999 compilation of 'tell all' interviews from top gay male porn stars “My favorite chapter is ‘5. Parents of Porn Stars.’” She wants more Substack subscribers, “Duh!”And a stay at the MGM Springfield Hotel, “Post-Vegas, I'm addicted to casinos... I have the recreational interests of a divorced dad. Everyone thinks that Atlantic City is New York’s closest option, but this one in MA isn't too far. The casino floor here also has those Coca-Cola Freestyle machines--I just looked up the name of that--like in movie theaters.”   

Everyone’s Favorite Pilates Instructor Linda wants the Love Island casting director to help her find love and a gift card for Tigra Tigra.

Painter, Sage Schachter, wants somebody to organize all of the notes on his phone, to never spill a thing but keep his dyspraxia, spray on shoes, “girlfriends and boyfriends for me and my siblings,” a jail broken citibike, a private luxury subway system, a Borzoi, an invisible helmet, would love a town house, dry cleaning machine, ellecution classes, pepper spray and a taze gun, a Tesla robot, a cyber truck with the matching quad, painting classes, a lock for his window, a tattoo gun, a motion detector, an implanted alarm clock, a sleep button, one of those little Japanese pick up trucks, a white line on the street painting machine, “a pocket sized studio assistant that activates when I whistle,” a tooth-brushing button, and a dog that doesn’t need to be walked or to to the bathroom or bark. 

Image Consultant, Designer, Stylist, and Former Teen Model, Ch’lita wants World Peace, to end world hunger, and a Chrome Hearts trucker hat.

Trailblazer Chandler Lucy tells me, “For Christmas all I want is for M***** M**** to be happy and successful. I have everything I need currently.”

Girl-About-Town Veronica Faye prefaces, “I am not feeling very materialistic this year so making this list was hard, but I would do anything for you.” For her well-being, Veronica wants a pay raise and a prescription for beta blockers. For the home, a full Lenox porcelain “Spice Village” set with matching butter dish, eclectic vintage throw pillows, and a nice painting to hang above her bed, “I’m thinking a swan or something dainty.” For her crafts, rhinestones in every color in bulk and a $10,000.00 gift card to Mood Fabric. “I also talked to my mom and she thinks I should add ‘A deeper understanding of myself now that my frontal lobe is developing’...” 

Artist SoiL Thornton submits, “My (again) wish (again) is (again) to (again) have (again) much (again) more (again) financial (again) stability (again) which (again) can (again) therefore (again) allow (again) me (again) to (again) live (again) my (again) healthiest (again) life (again) and (again) to (again) further (again) push (again) against (again) various (again) societal (again) norms (again) which (again) perpetuate (again) oppressions (again) of (again) all (again) sorts (again) sleuth (again) the (again) globe (again). 
P.s. pretty sure sleuth was an autocorrect that I didn’t catch in my previous contribution, but since it was there last time I’m leaving it for consistency as it makes sense in a odd way.” 

Holistic Healer Erika Lynn wants “For my heart to hold more love and gratitude,” a new wool coat (she’s not sure which designer), and “More ease and joy wrapped up in a box with a red bow!” 

Best Dressed Katya Braith White wants a taxidermy peacock, Isabella Blow’s collection of Phillip Treacy millinery, and Anne Hathaway’s Chanel 2005 Camélia double-breasted wool blazer from Devil Wears Prada. Katya also wants a Jaguar E-Type convertible in British racing green with tan leather interior and World Peace.

Snuff Magazine Editor-In-Chief, Zane Olson, begins his wishlist like a final will and testament, “To my friends and family, I don’t need or want anything. However, small thoughtful gifts are nice... To Santa, if you could pull these off then I’d accept them.” A 1996 Rita Ackermann shirt made for Wet Melon in Shibuya, “Kabi nyc had one, but I felt too embarrassed to ask them to hold it for me because I hadn’t talked to my friend Kei (1/2 of Kabi) in a couple years. When I saw him in LA, he told me he would’ve held it for me and given me a discount if he had known, and that he would’ve rather it gone to me (I think it ended up going to Supreme or something as an archive piece). I think about that shirt a lot.” A new pair of Dolce and Gabbana jeans, “I’ve religiously only worn D&G jeans for the past couple years and my favorite pairs have been extremely worn to the point of tearing. A new pair (or two) would be nice.” Next, Zane picks a random item from his eBay watchlist, Another Magazine Issue 1 (2002), “I have the second issue and it’s one of my favorites. Issue 1 would be the logical next step. Issue 4 (2003) with Nicole Kidman is another one I’m looking out for.” His last wish is cold hard cash, “If Santa could invest in the production and publishing of Snuff Issue 7 then that would take care of all my current and future headaches until next year.” Two weeks after submission, Zane texts me, “Add 5. For the Conceal album to drop.”

Retired “Creative” and soon-soon-to-be Lawyer Isa Berland wants Yeezy 2 Red Octobers, a John Kacere painting “Make sure on my list it is clear that I want a PIECE, not a print,” and the Shiftwave Pro. Isa also wants “ChatGPT to not be r*tarded,” “My tutor to not be r*tarded,” and “My landlord to not be r*tarded.” 

Internet Darling and DJ Brooke Flecca asks, “Is a “we shouldn’t be doing this” sneaky link an inappropriate wish?”

Beautiful Seattlelite and Ceramicist Kelsey Malone would be, “So excited, if Santa brought me 2-3 modular Camborne Kids Couches to combine for an XXL sofa guestroom fort buildout. Pink, snow blue, or blueberry would be fun, OR two more yellows” As of now, she only has yellow.

Inventive Cancer Woman, Liv Solomon, wants Moroccan Hashish, 1 ticket to Max B’s sold out show at the Brooklyn Paramount, Black AF1s “Thank you M*. ****,” a weekend at the Bowery Hotel, and these Chanel cork heels “in my size!!!!!”

16 year-old Matt’s boyfriend Penn, wants “The Italian man that owns the sun bleached red 1986 Toyota Tercel, always parked on Union (NR), to die and put his car up for sale.” A window filled apartment in NYC, “Far enough from New Rochelle, with enough space for a German Shepherd.”Any taxidermy, but he wants the animal to “look like it had a good life.” He also wants the perfect scent to associate good memories with, a “You’re hired” email in his inbox, and Kalmar Designs MCM 20 Slot CD Holder. 

“It’s hard to want things when the world is ending, but my material desires have always had a nasty habit of beating all odds,” says Andrea Jacob. She is back in California and feeling cynical. “Spiritually” she wishes for “everyone to chill the fuck out,” a metaphorical Xanax for society if you will... “What would also be amaze is a portable DVD player, so that I can watch the two DVD’s I own, High School Musical 3 (the Extended Edition) and Johnson Family Vacation.” She would also like an at-home Nugget Ice Machine, “Fake anemics hate to see a real ice chewing, shivering, anemic coming. My iron count was low before it was cool and I would like the luxury of nugget ice accessible to me 24/7.” If the world is ending she will bring these two things with her to the bunker, I presume. Ten days after submission she adds, “Omg wait, I also want a kindle.”

Enviromental Scientist and Musician, Yasmin Kriechbaum, is a girl with an affinity for the finer things in life, “I grew up in Dubai, I grew up in luxury, sorry but I don’t know how to act different. I’ve dated celebrities even though they’re bad for me, I love sparkly things, I would call life sick and cruel.” She wants a Shake Shack cheeseburger, a Dyson hairdryer, true love, Louboutin Kate 100mm pumps, a bengal cat, the Hood by Air 69 shirt, a Porsche Carrera 911 4 GTS, Goyard’s Goyardine Monogram 1900s trunk, and Supreme Hanes Bones Thermal Crew (1 Pack) in Black. “I want my parents [specifically] to gift me In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.” She also wants a Thonet S 32 V Cantilever Chair by Marcel Breuer and a house on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. 

Designer Sofia Testino wants World Peace, Amanda Harlech’s closet, and a gun.

Silk Co-Founder and CEO, Zane Kind, wants a new Bladee album, dinner with David Karp (founder of Tumblr), white plastic shutter shades, Death Cab for Cutie vintage band tee, everything from the new Yeezy season, a pair of black leather slip on vans “somehow they don’t make these,” The Tizio desk lamp by Richard Sapper, an NBA League Pass subscription, the Sony founder biography “Made in Japan” first edition “extremely fucking rare,” a Montana spray paint sponsorship, an orange tabby kitten with spotted belly, McDonald’s medium fry, Enzo Mari wooden rabbit and one hundred thousand million trillion loyal, loving followers. 

Double Business Major and Hot Girl, Monique Werlinger, wants a house on Lanikai Beach, the outfit generator computer that Cher has [in Clueless], a Snuggie, a designer cat, a year’s worth of Pilates classes, a natural tan all year round, a laser facial and a “Japanese cookbook.”

Footwear Designer, Old-School Metrosexual, and my Father, Nick Lucio, sent me his wishlist as a color story mood board. I will attempt to describe to you the images... A Mint green house with Moroccan  trimming, inside of it he wants a Fern green conversation pit and a mid-century style bowling alley with True green walls. He wants an Emerald green 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet and the Dassault Falcon 7x, with matching green interior. There is an Appletini on the mood board, but I’d suggest Green No.3 (or chlorophyll drops) in a dirty vodka martini instead... Salsa verde? “Carnitas Ramirez green salsa for my tacos,” he corrects me. This Gucci Alligator Trunk, “Couldn’t find a Green LV one, had to settle.” And finally, a Money green AMEX, because, “The green Amex is the baller card. I used that card for years and years, it’s for those who don’t need to flash.” My father rarely wears green, and he doesn’t own many green things, I truly did not know he liked the color this much, maybe it’s an ode to Christmas.

Brutalist Mia Xoxo Christianson prefaces “The narrative arch of my wishlists descending from materialism and hedonistic nonsense into sincere aspiration that God is real and knows my name should be examined, but alas. If Santa can’t find me something new to believe in, I’m bullish on silver.” Mia wants a Maria Freres Karawan teapot and this sterling silver swan choker, “Life is just better with something cold and firm wrapped around my neck.”

Tattoo Artist and Student of the World, Sage William, wants to spend more time with his mom, a  F-150 to lug all of his keepsakes, a vocal coach to help calibrate his voice to sound like Hank Williams when he talks, a follow back from John s. Hall, “to eat light and live long and start designing my gravestone where I will not be buried since I’ll be stuffed with playground wood chips,” and a personal farmers market on his roof where he will “feed and tend a bunch of Amish workers.” 

I, Bella M Lucio, want a monkey fur coat and a Tony Matelli sculpture modeled after the dandelion weed, #414. I want to be more photogenic and I want to be the face of a Los Angeles Apparel billboard; I do not assume that the two go hand-in-hand. I want reassurance that I will be a good mother, to speak Japanese and French fluently, to kill my ego, and for a hypnotist to help me quit smoking (I’m not sure if I’m ready yet, but I want to see them try). I want to do unto others as I would have them do unto me, I want a Mongolian fur scarf, I want the elimination of Ai and ChatGPT from our world indefinitely, I want to take accountability, I want to never be reduced to someones “girlfriend,” I want to continue being this satisfied with my life, and I want to go to a Knick’s game.
