    “I worked at a publisher”.
    Julia Bloomfield was the soul of the Getty Research Institute Publications Program. I interacted with her years ago only over email, and over email you could quickly tell she is an extraordinary person. Delighted to see her enjoying and taking care of this extraordinary house.

      What do you mean about "being a vibe"? "Vibe" being one of the most ambiguous words out there and and all, you know

    • @Harry-fk5of
      @Harry-fk5of Před 7 měsíci +17

      ​@@kristjanpeik7381 it's just a slang term, urban dictionary 'a reaction of one person to another person or an event or a place perhaps'. It's usually (and in this case) a positive reaction and the vibe doesn't have to be specified but can mean any or all of the following 'inspirational, unique, quirky, eye-catching, funny etc. etc.' - it's assumed we all 'get' the same vibe from the person/place, or have a similar reaction, so it doesn't have to be specified, we just 'get it'.

    • @kristjanpeik7381
      @kristjanpeik7381 Před 7 měsíci +7

      So, instead of saying what you mean (for example, that she is unique, funny etc.) you just go for the more ambiguous term and assume that others will catch the more precise descriptions, meanings and messages you packaged into to the "vibe" term? Them slangs are interesting phenomena I have to say, cheers :) @@Harry-fk5of
