Meghan Markle's employer saved from Chapter 11
May 11, 2021 Paper Source Acquired by Elliott
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210511005710/en/Paper-Source-to-Be-Acquired-by-Elliott
Elliott investment supports Paper Source for a bright future of its own and in teaming with Barnes & Noble
CHICAGO & NEW YORK & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elliott Investment Management L.P. (“Elliott”) announces today that funds it advises have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets and business operations of Paper Source Inc.
The acquisition of Paper Source by Elliott allows the stationery and gift retailer to emerge from Chapter 11 with the support of a well-capitalized owner committed to the development and growth of the business. Following the Chapter 11 process, Paper Source will benefit from significantly less debt on its balance sheet. It will operate from approximately 130 stores across the US, from Papersource.com, as well as its wholesale division, Waste Not Paper by Paper Source.
Elliott is also the owner of Barnes & Noble, the leading bookseller in the US with bookstores in every state. The businesses are highly complementary, with shared product ranges and a common commitment to excellent customer service. While the businesses will continue to operate independently, considerable opportunities exist for mutually beneficial retail partnerships.
Barnes & Noble has enjoyed a strong performance since its acquisition by Elliott in September 2019, overcoming a number of pandemic-imposed challenges. Elliott now looks forward to the continued progress of both retailers. James Daunt, CEO of Barnes & Noble, will have oversight responsibilities for both companies.
James Daunt, CEO of Barnes & Noble said: “I look forward to working closely with everyone at Paper Source. This is a wonderful brand, with a unique culture and community. With Paper Source’s management team, we will support and accelerate the brand’s strategic growth initiatives. Alongside this, the opportunities for Paper Source to work with Barnes & Noble are tremendously exciting for both businesses.”
Winnie Park, CEO of Paper Source said: “All of us at Paper Source are delighted with Elliott’s investment in the brand and look forward to working with them, and with James and the team at Barnes & Noble. I am so grateful for the community who have supported Paper Source through both the pandemic and the Chapter 11 process – our amazing teams, our incredibly loyal customers, landlords, and our partner and vendor community.”
Paul Best, Portfolio Manager and Head of European Private Equity at Elliott said: “As the country’s leading specialty retailer of stationery, cards and gifts, we see tremendous future potential in Paper Source’s business. We look forward to working closely with the management team to position the brand for continued growth coming out of the pandemic.”

MORE NAMES TO KNOW
Tina Bell: frontwoman of the band Bam Bam, often called the Godmother of grunge because of its influence. Racism within the scene has led to her influence being pretty extensively erased but her bandmate and lifelong friend Scotty Buttocks has been working hard to counteract that by doing press and preserving their music here. Kurt fucking Cobain was their roadie
Betty Davis: 70s funk rock legend who just recently passed away. Incredibly unique performer that was way ahead of her time. Not to be confused with Bette Davis.
Sistah Grrrl Riots: A black punk collective put together in response to alienation and racism in the 90s punk and riot grrrl scenes. Organized by legends Tamar-Kali Brown, Honeychild Coleman, Maya Glick, and Simi Stone. You can read more about sistah grrrl in this article.
Ronnie Spector: Frontwoman of the Ronettes and rock n roll pioneer. Black girl groups were a huge influence on the sound of Rock n Roll as we know it from The Beatles to Led Zepplin to the Rolling Stones. She recently passed but her autobiography came out last year and it's worth the read.

We are now officially two Collison-Ris birthdays into the season. Just like that, one week and BAM. Both Kimmer and Linzy's birthdays are good 'n celebrated.
Tuesday night, two nights ago, Kimmer spent a couple hours crafting Linzy's birthday card from card parts, craft supplies, and her own imagination. Wednesday morning, I wrote a piece for our family blog about Linzy from the day of her birth... and back again. And then from that, taking one of the themes from that post, I wrote into the birthday card Kimmer crafted the night before... a little birthday message for our daughter.
Meanwhile, Kimmer made Linzy a very lemon birthday cake, also wrapping Linzy's birthday presents in purple and pink tissue paper. Linzy's favorite colors right now.
So then Linzy shows up around 11:30 for card, presents, and general lolligagging, after which we head out about an hour later.
Our destination?
U-Village.
That's right. We're spending Linzy's birthday at the mall.
First up, an eight minute walk to General Porpoise, the donut place Linzy discovered through an app called Pou (I think). She had the lemon curd donut, I had the chocolate & marshmallow donut, and Kimmer had her coffee, black, to start the day.
By the way, just the dough part of the donut without the chocolate and marshmallow was pretty tasty. I could've had that donut plain, it was so good.
Afterward, we walk back to the Village, knowing we're gonna end up at Piatti's for...
Lunch?
Nope. For dinner. We just had breakfast, for crying out loud.
We continue on, just poking around, until we get to Fireworks Gallery which is basically a Collison-Ris trap. I was barely through the front door when I got sucked into an impromptu photo shoot of one of the display tables. Linzy 'n Kimmer managed to see more of the store, while the farthest I ended up was a few displays laterally from the display table where I found an adorable Advent calendar they call Traveling Advent Calendar: Rudolf.
Totally want it for December.
😄
After that (and because Linzy hadn't had her coffee yet) we went for coffee 'n a breakfast sandwich at Mr. West Cafe Bar. Only...
One of their machines was down so they couldn't make the drink Linzy was after just then. We did score a coupla egg & cheese on croissants, though. 😇 😇 😇
For Linzy's coffee, then, we did the obvious: Starbucks. Where we strategized. For example, Linzy called Paint The Town, a ceramics place where she wanted the three of us to paint coasters.
Hour and a half, they said.
That would be the time it took for a table to become available for us.
So we got on the waiting list, Kimmer went over to Piatti's to get a reservation for us at a table in front of the fireplace. Linzy 'n I wandered across the way to Paper Source that's all about paper (of course), gifts, cards, games, books, and crafts.
I don't know how long we were in there before Kimmer returned with a 615 reservation. And I don't know how long after that Linzy got buzzed by Paint The Town 'cause they were ready for us...
But they were ready for us and we had to jet, vowing, myself at least, to come back after the ceramics experience.
So we did the ceramics experience, which was a lot of fun... as soon as I was able to not choke at the reality of a blank canvas.
In the end, I wound up doing a creativity quote (I pulled four words from "creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye" by Dorothy Parker) surrounding it with a riot of colorful lines and dots. Linzy did a riff on splintered geometry in pinks and purples. And Kimmer painted quadrants of flowers like a boss.
Seriously, they're quite lovely.
By the time we turned in our painted coasters for firing in a kiln, it was a little passed five. So we returned to Paper Source, moved on to The Art Study, winding up across the mall at H&M 'cause Linzy wanted a quick look.
After that, we headed over to Piatti's for dinner by way of the moved and remodeled Apple store which I had not yet seen.
Brilliant food over at Piatti's for dinner, by the way, chasing it down with delicious wine.
And by the time we were done...
It was 730.
Back at our place by eight, Kimmer put the finishing touches on Linzy's very lemon cake whilst Linzy 'n I watched movie trailers on YouTube. After which we walked over to Linzy's place for a birthday song, blowing out candles, savoring cake, and watching two episodes down toward the end of Only Murders In The Building, season 1.
By the time 10pm rolled by us, it was time for hugs 'n kisses 'n Happy Birthday my dear sweet girl.
Followed by goodnight!
Thus ending our family celebration of Linzy turning —
The age she just turned.
😉

“Oh we’re SUBVERTING the damsel in distress/princess in a tower trope!!” for 100 US dollars, tell me the last time you saw the trope played straight
#i can literally only think of subversions#in fact the first one i can remember is a book i had when i was five#it was called the paper bag princess and it did indeed slap#but I am sick of everyone trying to “fix” source material they are barely familiar with

Recently, I have been feeling a bit down and lonely because none of my friends want to play TF2, and playing TF2 alone kind of sucks out the fun for me. Don't mind my ramblings, because the reason is a bit childish. Anyway, I made this SFM because I was feeling cringey and sad.

More Lies. In South Africa, Scooby wrote that Meghan was an expert in bookbinding🙄, and of course the world has seen Meghan's definition of "calligraphy." Funny how she never mentions that she performed these duties as a clerk at her LA Paper Source retail store (headquartered in Chicago).
She likes to name drop a job for only 1 celebrity couple: Paula Patton and Robin Thicke. I always suspected she addressed their invitations at Paper Source, but I never thought to search for confirmation until now: "[Markle]...held a job as a clerk at the Paper Source where Patton had her wedding invitations made..."
Larry King specifically asked Meghan whether or not she worked at a restaurant, etc before booking Suits. She said no and only told him she supplemented her income with her calligraphy. Meghan forgot to mention: Deal or No Deal Briefcase Model, Restaurant Hostess, Paper Affair Clerk, Merching/Modeling and God only knows what else.
If she doesn't tell the truth about her work history then why should the world believe anything she has to say? #truth #lies
