And With That, 2024 Comes To An End🥂🎆
A more complete newsletter will be going out in January. Here is an abridged version in the meantime!
Goodbye 2024, Hello 2025
As 2024 draws to a close, I am both reflecting upon this year and looking forward to the next. This year has thrown me MANY curveballs. I find myself back in my hometown of Chicago after two and a half years away. The return was unexpected, but I am reconnecting with the people and places of Chicago in ways that fill my heart with joy. A sincere thank you to everyone who supported me through this difficult yet rewarding transition.
I look forward to many things is 2025. Of course, travel is right at the top of that list!
Pop Up Tour To The PNW
The stars have aligned and are bringing me back to a part of the country I don’t get to visit very often: The Pacific Northwest! I’m ready to get my flannel + Doc Martens on! My availability will be limited during my visit (spoiler alert: I have a photoshoot scheduled there with my friend and preferred photographer, Taryn Carter!)
Portland: 1/6-1/7
Seattle: 1/7-1/9
Upcoming Tours
I am currently finalizing and reconfiguring my tours through April and will send out a formal newsletter with those exact dates. In the meantime, I am looking forward to visiting the following places (with possible others to follow):
Florida: Late January/Early February
Charlotte NC: Mid-March
Boston: Mid-March
Philadelphia: April
NYC: April
If you’re in one of these cities and have a particular date in mind, you are welcome to reach out and I’ll see if I can make it work! Longer dates will receive priority.
UK + Ireland Visits
I am also looking to expand my horizons in this touring game and thought a good place to start will be the UK! I do not have specific dates lined up for this just yet, though would love to try for April or May! The cities at the top of my list are:
London
Edinburgh
Glasgow
Dublin
But I can always be convinced to add others ;)
If you’re an admirer from across the pond, please do stay tuned! And if you’d like to prescreen, please do get in touch: gem@professordemilo.com
As always, thank you all for your continued support. May 2025 be a year of joy, love, prosperity and adventure for each and every one of you ❤️
All My Best,
Gem DeMilo
