Cute or Cringe?

Opening Ceremony by Chloe Sevs - does this campaign make you go aw or ew for matching couples?

harmony korine possibly the best interviewee ever

On book publicity for his own book - "I don't know why anyone would buy a book these days." and "I'm the author. I wouldn't endorse it."

Not that I give a hoot about jewelry. Diamonds, yes. But it's tacky to wear diamonds before you're forty

Just while I'm on this fashion tip - please note: I have issue with jewellery if it doesn't do anything. If I can't store coke in my ring - I ain't wearing it - 'jes kidding kids, y'know about the coke thing (who I am Sarah Michelle from Cruel Intentions?) - but serious about the function thing. It seems I'm not alone here - you may have noticed the watch necklace craze of '08 and the slightly less crazy monocle necklace trend of '09.

Well I'm here to predict '10 will be all about the compass necklace and why not see '09 out with a telescope necklace both from Digby and Iona (slightly better than the monocle - sorry Marc!).

I base most of my fashion sense on what doesn't itch.

This quote pretty much sums up why me and fashion don't mix. I can't walk in heels because I fall over. Mid-riff makes me slightly nauseous. I don't wear outrageous clothing because anything even slightly "out-there" seems to give absolute strangers the right to harass you. And so on...however I like the idea of fashion and the concept of the perfect outfit.

For me the perfect outfit is shoes that are cool but flat, midriff-resistant, not too "wacky" and hopefully comfortable, oh and cheap, but um, like fashionable...

Anyway Refinery 29 have this rad new section called Perfect Outfit - which shows people like me ways you can mix mod with latina steez. Like Polyvore but by experts.

Oh i wish i had a sun tan

Lust for Life - Girls

Girls - are kind of brats. They called their album 'album' and their band Girls (they are both boys) - two facts which initially made me hate them outright. However after being completely and totally won over by 'Lust for Life' and the 'album' - I started to feel like it was actually just kind of genius - in a bratty way.

I guess you'll put up with all kinds of crap from people who write amazing songs that you play over and over again because they capture that amazing carefree-party-all-summer feeling for about 2 and a half minutes.

Are we having fun yet?

If Adam Scott aka "whattababe" (Stepbrothers, Eastbound and Down) isn't enough to make you wanna watch my new fave TV show Party Down, maybe the fact that Martin Scott (from Freaks and Geeks, other Apatow) also stars and it was co-created by Paul Rudd will help?

Wait - did I mention its my new favourite TV show?

I swear America keeps making good TV just to stop me from reading. Bastards.

PS Adam Scott also played a minor but significant role in the favourite movie of my teens Girl and thanks to the internets you can watch the whole thing here.

If the worst thing in your life is someone makes you go to a dance - I'd say you got a pretty good life

One of my favourite scenes from Freaks and Geeks (and Virgin Suicides) - I found this on one of my fave mp3 blogs Pop Tarts Suck Toasted. They've listed a bunch of other amazing TV soundtrack moments including - My So Called Life - which I've blogged before.

Oh and my other fave MSCL moment here and FandG here - last one cliche but still amazing here.
