I realized this week that my one-month corona-lockdown anniversary came and went without much fanfare (I began locking down on March 15). To be honest, I’ve still been getting out of the house to hike or walk almost every day (I’ve actually done at least 2.5 miles every day of April), so that really makes me feel like I’m not homebound and isolated so much. Have I been going crazy? I don’t think so, but that’s what a crazy person would say. I was in a bad place yesterday morning, just in a foul AF mood and I was arguing with myself about stupid sh-t all day. That was one of the moments where I was like “huh, maybe this is lockdown-related.”
Now, even though I pride myself on my relative sanity, I have been enjoying the fact that so many celebrities and athletes are truly going stir-crazy from lockdown. For some of them, it was only a matter of days before they turned punch-drunk in isolation. For others, it took a bit longer. January Jones is one of those people. Judging from her Instagram – where she’s been posting a lot during the lockdown – she was keeping it together pretty well for about two weeks. Around week 3 of the lockdown was when… sh-t started happening. Take this, for example, which is pretty much a summary of like four David Lynch films?
There was this amazingness where she talks about giving herself multiple facials every day. LOL.
But the real joy was this absolutely bonkers video – I’m truly laughing my ass off right now – where she ordered tap shoes because she wanted to try something new and now she thinks she’s a tap dancing prodigy or something. I CANNOT. She is too funny.

I am susbcribing to her ig.
Lol! I need this in my life right now.
I love her instagram! This is hilarious.
Bonkers but seems like fun.
I have tears! Too fuhnee.
My isolation is going superb. I’m in my own element lol.
Same here, Mabs.
Same!
I have just written to a friena of mine: ” I am so thankful it’s me and the cat I couldn’t tolerate anyone else in this moment”.
I freaking love it.
Tap dancing. Why didn’t I think of that? My daughter taps in the garage or back patio almost everyday. Too funny.
I’ve always been a big fan of hers. We are all dealing with the lockdown in our own weird ways. Good on her for trying something new and sharing it with people.
I started painting and it turns out I suck, but in enjoying it!
Anyone else trying anything new in lockdown?
I started baking…a lot, and I take pictures of what I make and post it to Instagram. I wasn’t a big baker before quarantine, but I’m gaining some confidence.
That’s awesome, Kimmie! Baking is such a great skill. What have you been baking?
My hobby is photograph, I have zero technique, so I have started studying a bit and improving this.
And I made pizza for the first time. Now third!
I’m taking a free online course from MoMA on photography (https://www.moma.org/research-and-learning/classes).
I started doing yoga every day. I’m following the 30 day “Home” program from Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube.
Full disclosure: I find her to be super annoying sometimes and will be looking for a new YouTube yoga instructor as soon as I make it through the 30 days. There are times where she has us just sit on the mat or lie down while she goes off on a tangent for several minutes, talking really broadly and shallowly about vaguely new-age type concepts, and she just says a lot of feel good, new age, buzz words but without really meaning anything. Lots of words are spoken but she isn’t saying anything that’s meaningful or even sensical. She would definitely be the type of person who would ask you what you’d like to “architect” in your life. “What are you architecting right now? What are you architecting towards?”
And I’m the type of person who follows Pagan and witchy blogs so I’m completely used to people talking about guardian spirits and visualization and setting a spiritual/magickal goal to try to manifest over the course of a lunar cycle or something like that. I think my issue with Adrienne is that there doesn’t seem to be any real belief system behind her Goop-like prattle. It’s all just very shallow, surface level, feel-good, and juvenile, but she seems to think it’s all very deep and enlightening. I don’t want that in my yoga.
Fidelio.
January and Leslie Jordan are getting it right. I guess because they aren’t preaching. Quarantine has definitely revealed the celebrities who simply have no sense of imagination.
I don’t even particularly like her, but that’s adorable. I love the dog coming over like “Mom, WTF are you doing?”
Me too. The dog was great lol
Came here to say that dog is so cute.It’s like… here she goes again 🤣
The dog was the best part of a really funny video.
She is such a fun follow and laughs at herself so much. She Nerds out on film references without being mean. Like in that fabulous tap dancing clip, she knows she’s ordinary but golly gee gosh, my oh my, she’s got a wining Ole Time Hollywood smile that sells it.
I always feel better when I see her stuff. And she’s stunning. Her skin!!
I have been a IG follower of hers for awhile now. This is nothing new. She really does have good IG game.
I feel her. I caught myself narrating while I was making dinner last night like I was Ina Garten or something.
Oh! I do that too!
Lol, me, too!
I have two semi-sullen, taciturn teenagers in the house, so I talk to myself (just like my mother 😆), and of course, my doggos!
I think I just peed my pants. She’s fricking hilarious. Love it!
The best part of that whole video was the dog in the background…. she was definitely being judged! Dogs make literally everything better!
Hahahha. She has such a good sense of humour. It’s odd, but I love it. Even her captions are hilarious.
She’s an absolute riot who doesn’t seem to ever take herself particularly seriously. She’s funny and blunt in interviews and it’s very refreshing.
Not sure about how sane things are here … I found Lysol wipes at Costco and hugged them at home like a long lost friend. LOL
She rocks! Good, funny human. Her post about Post Malone was also bonkers. You can hear kids playing in the background, and she is asking about Post Malone, and she takes a swig of Coors. She’s seems lovely! Her posts make me feel like she is a long time pal.
That is truly hilarious!
Me? I’ve taught my cat to fetch. Now I wish I hadn’t, he’s dropping toys at my feet constantly now.
Adorbs! x
This was cute. And damn her skin is flawless when she takes off that mask!
She’s so kooky which translates well to IG!! I think she was the 2nd person I followed when I created my profile a few years ago and she’s been consistently fun and entertaining there since then. 🤩
Lynch likes red and blue most so if she had a few shades of blue with pops of red and maybe some crazy hair, I feel like he would definitely appreciate January’s ideas!
Love her skincare rituals on IG too.
I absolutely loved the expression on her dog’s face. That was truly a WTF expression!
I never realized how funny she can be! Her skin is amazing.
Love the dress-up. But.
Can those money print things just be retired already?
Quit pushing your cash in my face. It does not endear you.
I get it. You’re expensive; your whole wardrobe is expensive.
How much it cost you to look that cheap?
If you’re not actually a stripper, it’s not a good lewk.
I watched it just because you guys mentioned that her dog stops by to give a wtf? look.
Got a laugh, dog has it correct.
Wasn’t a fan before now, mostly because she wasn’t on my radar and I’d taken her for a bland blonde nothingburger. I was SO wrong. She’s a crack up!!
And she looks AMAZING with or without makeup.
I need her whole outfit but most especially her sunglasses. Can anyone ID them? Also, I love her too! Been following her IG for years but I have to catch up because its been awhile. She’s always been pretty cool so I’m not too surprised her IG is still good even in quarantine.
