It was a chilly fall morning on New York’s Lower East Side when I sat down with Busy Philipps, in town to promote her new campaign with the LG SideKick. In her presence I felt instantly at ease, which says a lot about her as I am someone who has social anxiety even in the presence of, say, a Bill Clinton life-size cut-out. Perhaps it’s that she documents, with a refreshingly candid approach, her day-to-day life on Instastories and I felt like I “got” her (as much as you can “get” someone from social media) from the start. Or maybe it’s that, when asked who she’d want to dine with out of anybody in all the lands, she chose Jesus. Yes, the Jesus. I’m not really sure; what I am sure of, however, is that I’d choose to have dinner with Busy every night of the week if I could. She is a bright spot in a very dim world.
