Style – Agent Lover's Ultimate Pizza Party https://www.agentlover.com/blog Tue, 11 Jan 2022 01:31:24 +0000 en-US hourly 1 44082623 Visiting the ‘Clueless’ Filming Locations https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2015/07/22/visiting-the-clueless-filming-locations/ https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2015/07/22/visiting-the-clueless-filming-locations/#comments Wed, 22 Jul 2015 18:04:01 +0000 http://www.agentlover.com/blog/?p=12820 Screen Shot 2015-07-22 at 2.08.47 AM

Circus

I stan so hard for Clueless. I never fully really realized it until now, during its 20th anniversary. Obviously there are a lot of movies that are near and dear to my heart, but Clueless had a very special impact on me. It came out in theaters when I was 15. I remember going to Edwards Cinema in Camarillo to watch it and falling SO deep in love. I distinctly recall the moment where  No Doubt’s “Just a Girl” plays during a scene and whispering to my friend, “We have to find out what band that is!” Now, this was the nineties and we weren’t able to watch trailers or clips at our whim or just Google image a screencap of a movie. There was no way to deconstruct shit like outfits and scenes and all of that. How the hell did we find out about anything? I read a lot of Spin, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Seventeen, Jane and the long-gone Premiere magazine. I obsessively watched MTV and VH1 and Entertainment tonight. It was all about recording everything on tape with a timer and playing it over and over until we had it all memorized. To really get into a film, we’d have see repeated viewings in the theater or wait until it hit VHS a million months later.

clueless

For some reason, the outfit that stood out to me the most was Cher’s driving test outfit. She throws a fit because she can’t find her “white collarless shirt from Fred Segal!!” I was really into baby blue back then (very nineties) and decided to replicate the outfit as best as I could. This was my first foray into LA PASIÓN that is pretty much played out in the 150+ outfit replications for my film style series at Rookie. Anyway, I grew up in Oxnard. We didn’t have some boojie mall. Yes, there was a Contempo Casuals, Judy’s, Wet Seal, a RED ZONE but my shit was always the hole-in-the-wall stores: places called “Fashion Max” and “Fashion Gal” that were a few notches below Forever 21. I found a lot of treasures in those shops over the years. At one of them, I was actually able to find a sheer button down top (without the ruffles) which I wore with a baby blue sweater vest and over an a-line argyle mini skirt. Cher wears silver Mary Janes, but I went for patent leather white leprechaun shoes from Wet Seal. To this day, I can’t believe I don’t have a photo of it. The closest I have is this photo from my brother’s wedding, which had two parts of the outfit. Those leprechaun shoes were sick!!!

IMG_5846

I took every chance I could get to write about it: Rookie, Hello Giggles and the crème de la crème, my interview with Mona May on Refinery29 where we styled the characters as how they would dress if Clueless was made today. Spoiler alert: Jeremy Scott’s Barbie collection for Moschino SS15 was SO TOTALLY AMBER. I first met Mona May about five years ago at Lenora Claire’s Bettie Page Heaven Bound show. I was wearing a hat with a spider on it that I had painted gold and she came up to me and asked if she could take a photo. I didn’t realize it was Mona May until later and freaked out. One of my heroes was asking to take a picture of MY HAT! ::flips hair:: She has designed the costumes for not only Clueless but also other faves like Romy and Michelle, The House Bunny and The Wedding Singer. It was a complete joy to talk with Mona May and to get the DEEP CUTS of the film’s wardrobe aspect. This is what she told me about my favorite ensemble:

“Cher wore a tuxedo shirt made out of chiffon, an argyle mini skirt, knee socks, silver Mary Janes and a silver crop top. The whole thing was about her having the perfect shirt for this test and she couldn’t find it. But it was a pivotal moment because it’s also when she finally realizes what’s going on—that she’s in love with Josh—so it was an important outfit for the movie. I think it needed to be a non-color. If it were bright, it would be wrong and if it was too dark it wouldn’t have been right either. It had to have the right kind of emotion. When we put it on her, it felt like the right thing for both me and Amy.” 

A few weeks ago, I realized I wanted to celebrate the film’s anniversary by visiting the filming locations. I needed a partner-in-crime for this epic journey (from the Valley to Eagle Rock to Beverly Hills, LAWD!), so I enlisted the boo, Karlito, to accompany me. It was a true vision quest. Over two days, we hit up close to ten different locations. Of course, the photo above is of Circus Liquor, which is the location of the scene where Cher gets held up and is forced to lie down on her Alaïa. SO RUDE!

They filmed some of “Bronson Alcott High” at Grant High School in the Valley. I found out that Amy Heckerling named the school that as an homage to her then-boyf Bronson Pinchot aka BALKI BARTOKOMOUS!!!!

So much love to all these awesome guides on los internets that helped me figure out where to go!

1980’s Movie Heroines – Earth Girls Are Easy https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2009/06/09/1980s-movie-heroines-earth-girls-are-easy/ https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2009/06/09/1980s-movie-heroines-earth-girls-are-easy/#comments Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:37:58 +0000 http://www.agentlover.com/blog/?p=1550 Earth Girls Are Easy was and is still one of my favorite movies. It also just claimed the title of being my favorite movie to have screencapped ever! Each scene is an explosion of loud, 80’s color. I just want to jump in the screen like Mary Poppins and get my nails did!

Nails Galore

cutie

Valley girl manicurist Valerie, played by my favorite actress slash professional archer Geena Davis, discovers her doctor boyfriend cheating on her, but finds romance in her own backyard when an alien spaceship crashes into her swimming pool. Out come three extraterrestrial hunks played by Damon Wayans, Jim Carrey and my ultimate childhood crush (before Fred Savage and Mikey from The Goonies): Jeff Goldblum (THE FLY!!!!!)

ketchupnmustard

They are completely covered in crayon-colored fur, but are still FINE AS FUCK, especially JG right here! Why am I so turned on?? Am I alone? (crickets..)

omgfurrystatuscuzimturnedon

Geena Davis with her top ramen hairdo.

One of the best scenes is at the beauty salon, where Valerie’s BFF and sidekick Candy, played by the amazing Julie Brown (not the Downtown) helps Valerie sexify her look. Julie Brown is so awesome in this. Where are you Julie?

jbbow

jb

cuzimablonde

This is probably one of the first movies to pioneer the cinematic tradition and insta-gem that is a really good MAKEOVER MONTAGE SCENE. Synchronized dance and song are even better.

beautysalon

Candy also gives the alien hunks a good shave so they can pass as human. Wish I had that job. WUT

hunks

There are so many good details in the props and costume department for this movie. The phones! Quintessential 80’s lip phone, duck phone and even a GIANT phone for yours truly.

phones

Give me these tights and shoes! Are those heart shoelace clips? Can we bring those back? I remember I used to have Minnie Mouse ones that attached to my L.A. Gears.

radshoes

Gimme that heart bag Geena!

Another great scene is the appearance of Angelyne and her famous pink corvette. If you live in Southern California chances are you have seen her driving around.

And now…FASHION! This time I did a set focusing on monochromatic outfits inspired by each of the alien hunks. I love head-to-toe crazy color. With a ‘lil pizazz you can be a walking Crayola as well! Werk it gurl.

1980’s Movie Heroines – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2009/05/14/1980s-movie-heroines-girls-just-wanna-have-fun/ https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2009/05/14/1980s-movie-heroines-girls-just-wanna-have-fun/#comments Thu, 14 May 2009 08:47:03 +0000 http://www.agentlover.com/blog/?p=550 Alright everyone, let’s talk about dance movies. Don’t try to front on this because I know there is not one person in the world who is truly able to resist the simple charms of Dirty Dancing, Footloose, Flashdance or Step Up 2: The Streets. I LOVE ‘EM ALL! But when I was a baby hood rat in the 80’s, a certain silver screen treasure was in constant rotation in my VCR: Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

Ms. Carrie Bradshaw herself, Sarah Jessica Parker, had the starring role of Janey, a dance-loving military brat who rebels against her strict father by pirouetting her way towards a coveted spot on “Dance TV.” I was really feeling Janey on this because it was my dream to simultaneously be on Soul Train AND Club MTV (with Miss Downtown Julie Brown) HELLO!

Every good girl needs a couple of rebellious gal pals to help guide her out of her shell and become a lil’ FUNKY! Helen Hunt and baby Brenda Walsh come along and partake in all the teenage hijinks!

Janey needs a dance partner so she pairs up with blue collar hunka, Jeff, and they naturally fall for each other while perfecting their fan kicks. I don’t care if he was the Poor Man’s Joey Lawrence, I thought he was fuuuwiiine! WHOA! (you know I have a Joey Lawrence doll..right?… TMI?)


Let’s french through the fence, bebe


I love me a hunk in a midriff top! It’s true.

Beautiful!!

SJP was a million Manolos away from being a fashion icon at this point with Janey’s frumpy-ass school uniforms. Luckily, we had a style savior in the form of her badass best friend Lynne, played by Helen Hunt.


White nails and a Superteen magazine, yes please!

Lynne’s main style signature is her collection of creative headwear and hair accessories. From channeling Don King to Davy Crockett to sporting dinosaur barrettes to rocketship clips, Lynne rocks her shit without fear and das why mama likes her.

Instead of doing a Polyvore set for this post, I decided to invoke the spirit of Lynne and make something myself!

Now the crème de la crème has to be Lynne’s grasshopper hat.

I had to recreate it…but I couldn’t find a grasshopper. Instead, I found a gigantic black widow. AHHHHH! Now, a black widow would be too Halloween-y and way too gawth for me right now. So what did I do? Paint that shit GOLD!

I also made an octopus one for Miss Tiffany!

I’m making a lot of hair accessories right now. Lots of ideas in this noggin’ so stay tuned for some surprises! Oh you Girls Just Want to Have Fun..still inspiring me..all the way into adulthood!

My favorite song from the movie is Q-Feel’s “Dancin’ in Heaven.” A few years ago my good friend Brant found it on vinyl and would play it for me when he would dj! Ahh GOOD TIMES Q FEEL. “Quick, slow, quick quick slow!” I better see a million downloads for this song! *lowers eyes*

Q-Feel – Dancin’ in Heaven
Holland- Wake Up the Neighborhood (second favorite song from the best scene ever)

[wp_youtube]zPcB0wuKbXU[/wp_youtube]

OH HALE NO: From wiki: A script is in the works for the Disney Channel. Several Disney Channel stars have expressed interest in taking a part, including Selena Gomez and Ashley Tisdale. Um. ASHLEY TISDALE AGAIN!? First she was going to be in the Teen Witch remake, now THIS ONE? Is this bitch trying to ruin my fucking childhood movies?! I am starting to take this personally. This shit is so wack!

Let me simma down now…stay tuned for the conclusion to my 1980’s Movie Heroines special next week!

lollll i CAN’T TAKE THIS choking on lols over here

1980’s Movie Heroines – Teen Witch https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2009/03/05/1980s-movie-heroines-teen-witch/ https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2009/03/05/1980s-movie-heroines-teen-witch/#comments Thu, 05 Mar 2009 08:20:28 +0000 http://www.agentlover.com/blog/?p=384 A while ago, I made a promise to do an article on everyone’s favorite cinematic gem, Teen Witch. Finally the day has come for me to put a banana clip in my hair and ~cast a spell on you~. Because of this, I’ve decided to do another fashion-in-film series where I Polyvore outfits inspired by the characters. This one will be 1980’s Movie Heroines! Let’s begin the special series by taking a look at Louise Miller, a typical high school nerd with a ladyboner for popular guy Brad…until she meets Madame Serena (aka Tangina from Poltergeist), who reveals to Louise she is actually a reincarnated witch and LOLarity ensues.

One of my favorite things in the world is dreamy scenes of 80’s hunks.

When I have a Soft Focus Crush I imagine him glistening in the sun, doing sit-ups and jumping jacks while I lurk in the shadows watching his every move…

When Louise starts practicing some magic, ultimately becoming the ‘Most Popular Girl,’ she starts dressing for success. She gonna get her mang, she gonna get some fans, she gonna be the dom of the prom!!! People start keeping tabs on her every move…the tables have turned!

How about this little number for dancing in the halls?

Teen Witch 3

Do you guys remember bolo ties? I wore one during the 90210 days of 1991. I think it’s because Brenda Walsh had one…unless I was secretly trying to dress like David Silver’s best friend who wanted to be a cowboy. Do not click that link!!! You will cry just like you did in the sixth grade.

If bolo ties ever make a comeback, I don’t know what I would do…except eat some BBQ. Why do bolo ties make me crave that?! Louise, if you please:

Teen Witch 1
Teen Witch 1 – by Agent Lover on Polyvore.com

Everybody loves the infamous ‘Top That’ rap scene. A few years ago I memorized it so my friend Brant and I could battle. He’s so funky!

[wp_youtube]zQ00laVt62c[/wp_youtube]

Let’s talk about the real star of the show…little brother Richie. Forget Swayze Centaur, the ultimate random tattoo would be a picture of Richie in his bellboy uniform. IMAGINE?? I will get him on my upper arm. TEEN WITCH SLEEVE! MADAME SERENA ON THE FOREARM. Get it gurl.

My friends and I can still seriously spit his lines every day. Is this just funny to us or does anyone else love him too?

[wp_youtube]ahpOQL3zX4w[/wp_youtube]

At last, Louise makes it to prom in her indigo blue, shoulder pad delight. Everyone is like “Daaayum!”

Glorious, how I imagine my life is like in another dimension.

We will let Louise keep the blue, but ditch the maxipad shoulders for something more bewitching.

Teen Witch 2
Teen Witch 2 – by Agent Lover on Polyvore.com

Her red hot lover Brad will be mesmerized…

Fun Fact: Robyn Lively who plays Louise, is the sister of Blake Lively aka Serena from GOSSIP GIRL. Wild! Also, YES. I’ve heard of the Teen Witch remake they are planning with the mean bitch from High School Musical. Um, FUCK THAT. I’m so pissed. I can’t even talk about it right now. Anyway! Stay tuned for my next installment in my 1980’s Movie Heroines series! Perhaps next time we will cover crimped hair and camel toe! In the meantime, here are some other articles you might want to peep:

Protest Dress Up Diary https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2008/11/09/protest-dress-up-diary/ https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2008/11/09/protest-dress-up-diary/#comments Sun, 09 Nov 2008 22:30:19 +0000 http://www.agentlover.com/blog/?p=409 Last night we went to the protest rally against Prop 8 in Sunset Junction. Here was my outfit:

{Details}

  • beret – Target
  • top – so old, can’t remember!
  • white belt – local shop
  • red corduroy skirt – H&M
  • red sweetheart necklace – SF Maker Faire
  • red knee socks – old! maybe Target ?
  • nude fishnets – fashion district downtown LA
  • chinese slipper mary janes – Blue Moon, Ventura, CA

Ain't it da truf
I was inspired by Isabelle from The Dreamers and Marie-Pierre Castel from Requiem for a Vampire (who I am rapidly becoming obsessed with, more on her in the future.) Sorry so French again. I can’t help it, it’s in my name!


I was dancing in the streets with my asshole sign. Having a sign that says asshole on it probably makes me an asshole doesn’t it?

Prop 8 Protest at Sunset Junction 11/8/08

I just want my best friends to have the same rights as me. We need equality now, everybody. Californians, if you haven’t signed the petition to re-open Prop 8 yet, please do so here, every little bit counts. I want to do a tour around California to all the little conservative towns where people haven’t been exposed to gays so my friends and I can bring some LOLs to them. Maybe even a little breakdancing? Pop n’ lock? Electric slide? Dancing can bring us all together.

Satan’s School For Girls https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2008/10/03/satans-school-for-girls/ https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2008/10/03/satans-school-for-girls/#comments Fri, 03 Oct 2008 19:46:39 +0000 http://www.agentlover.com/blog/?p=221

I remember when I was ten or eleven, I attended confession and spilled my grade school sins to the priest, which were apparently so lacking in quantity it prompted him to keep asking me, eyebrow-raised, “Is that all, Marie? Are you SURE that’s it?” Either I was just an innocent good girl (true), or he was peering inside a portal of time, looking at a long list of sins that would be committed by my future self.

In Don’t Deliver Us From Evil aka Mais Ne Nous Délivrez Pas du Mal, two devious schoolgirls, Anne and Lore, don’t have the same problem as little Marie did, and instead commit horrifying acts of sin with barely a showing of remorse.

Ever since watching it, then shortly after stumbling across the band I’m insane about, Fan Death , who seem to be inspired by the movie as well, I have been obsessed with the idea of satanic schoolgirls. All I wanna do is wear knee highs and worship the devil, OK?! The film is inspired by the story of the real-life Heavenly Creatures murderesses, Pauline Parker and Juliet Hammond. Satan’s young scholars read Baudelaire in bed, torture small creatures and tease men mercilessly for kicks. Doesn’t that sound fun? Let’s dress like them!

Very important to know: Red lipstick is the devil’s rouge…

A delicate, First Communion type-of-dress with a flower headband crown is the perfect inappropriate Catholic schoolgirl look. These Minna Parikka Raquel heels, which are on sale at Tatty Devine, are hot business. If you pair them up with knee highs, it would be a match made in heaven (or HELL for that matter.) If you need to stock up on knee highs, Target has a good variety of them right now under the Xhilaration brand.

I just had one of those discoveries where you find out you are subconsciously obsessed with something and for me it’s always been birds. Our pretty, musical feathered friends.. both alive and dead. You can add some foul fowl to your look with this same headband I have from Forever 21 and a Fauna Spotted Bird Necklace from my lovely friend, Paraphernalia, (who I interviewed here if you missed it!)

Here are a couple of my own interpretations of the sinister schoolgirl look!

Vintage blue plaid dress – ebay

Black heart purse – H&M

Eye of the Beholder pendant – Cloven Hoof

Black knee socks – Target

black mary jane heels – local store

This next outfit I wore to my gal Dizzy Von Damn’s birthday party at Medusa Lounge. Everyone was looking for my cleavage that night but I decided to go stag.

Tuxedo top – H&M

Black skirt- H&M

belt – local shop

Betsey Johnson Lock It Up purse

Eye of the Beholder pendant – Cloven Hoof

Jeffrey Campbell Evade shoes! – Solestruck.com! They were nice enough to send me some free shoesies and I chose these ones. I LOVE them. Danielle from Solestruck was very sweet and a pleasure to correspond with! Thank you very much!!

Black Feathered Crow Headband – Mary Tofts! I love this striped birdy headband from Mary Tofts on Etsy. Remember when I made a feathered headpiece for Lenora Claire’s Houdini Mansion birthday party? This one is lovely because it’s simple yet striking enough to wear on other occasions besides extravagant Hollywood shindigs. Here’s a close up of it in this picture of Shaun and I.

Check out Mary Tofts Etsy store for even more lovely handmade curiosities. Also, If you don’t know who Mary Tofts is, please Google! It is a very WILD story!

I leave you with a couple of Fan Death songs to start off your sinful weekend.

Fan Death – Veronica’s Veil

and this crazy ass amazing mix of Fan Death’s “When the Money’s Right” with Hercules and Love Affair’s “Blind” by Immuzikation that I am addicted to today!!!

Immuzikation – Blind Death


Remember, it’s always nice to have a best friend….

40 Wild Hours In New York City https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2008/09/18/40-wild-hours-in-new-york-city/ https://www.agentlover.com/blog/2008/09/18/40-wild-hours-in-new-york-city/#comments Fri, 19 Sep 2008 07:53:48 +0000 http://www.agentlover.com/blog/?p=200 On the most recent episode of DYNASTY, your heroine Agent Lover takes a whirlwind trip to New York City where she encounters the colorful creatures known as The Ladybloggers as well as enormous quantities of sugar.

Sweet Toothin

I have never met anyone with a sweet tooth bigger than Lola’s. This girl, who was kind enough to be Star and my New York City hostess, is so fucking amazing. She explained to me the scientific link between scent and memory. Some of you might know how obsessed I am with that phenomenon. Sadly, I tried relaying the info when I was in Hollywood after the trip to a couple of my girlfriends… and that was a complete failure. I was basically playing charades and making up words. Lola, I will need you to explain it to me again so my friends don’t think I’m crazy (any moreso than usual.)

Ceremony

At Strawberry Fields in Central Park, we witnessed the nuptials between Gala Darling and Nubby Twiglet. Star officiated the ceremony with rings provided by Princess Poochie!

Happily Married

Nubby PYT

Notorious G.A.L.A.

I felt the perfect wedding accessories for the brides would be one of my tacky corsages! (Big love to my bff Reyna for helping me assemble these at midnight the night before I left.) Nubby got a Michael Jackson one while Gala was presented with a Biggie Smalls wristlet. So glad you are a Biggie girl as well. We don’t need no Tupac beef up in here.

Me & Poochie!

The lovely Princess Poochie and I. Girl wtf is up with that shoe collection! You are all Imelda Marcos’ing more than I ever can be! JEALOUZ!

Star and I!

Gilda and me!!!

Gilda I love you!! Hello Miss Adorable and a half!!

I really hate how quickly time passed. I really didn’t get to talk to everyone as much as I wanted to.  “There’s not enough time, never enough time!” (cue Jessie Spano here.) After two hours at a shindig, you’re only just beginning to loosen up, you know? (Especially when sober. Man, I sound like the biggest alchy you guys. I’m sorry. No I’m not.)

Annie and I!

YAY

Annie Dangerpaws showed up to the party and it was the happiest surprise! She is one of my favorite Flickr pals. Her polaroid screenshots boggle my mind, they are so good! I wasn’t sure if she was serious about coming to find me. You know how we all like to make jokes on the internets about coming to find each other and all. So I left her a clue on Flickr thinking if she was really serious, she would understand. And she did!!!! This was her clue:

My outfit for the party was a blue Betsey Johnson dress I scored for only fitty doll-hairs! LADIES, I have discovered a secret. The Betsey Johnson outlet during fashion week is the place to be. They were trying to get rid of their last season dresses with a “Buy One, Get One Free” type of sale. Umm..HELLO! That was a nice surprise.

Why  hello there

A long time ago I bought this big bow hairclip from Hollywood Toy and Costume and finally wore it! It matched the blue of my dress perfectly. When I bought it, it was attached to a crusty old barrette and lavender hairnet that was probably from the 80’s. I ripped that shit off and stuck it on a big black flower clip for some quick stylist action. Here is a closeup taken by Miss Poochie:

My Big Bow!

Nubby and I posin’ for you.

Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor

I love that ruffled Richard Chai for Target blouse I’m wearing here. When Star and I were out getting a drink, some thuggish ruggish bone gave me “the eye” so I gave him “the eye” back “for fun” and then he goes…”GOSSIP GIRL XOXO” What the f!! How he know that! How he know that!! Goddamn.

Exercising at the Hotel on Rivington with the ladies:

Ladybloggers in Bed

Air Cobbin with Nubby and Star

I swear this is the calmest looking Corn I have ever seen. Perhaps it is because Corn’s previous hosts were already knee-deep in enough booze to drown a small child by the time they donned the kernel whore suit. Did you know “whore suit” is one of my favorite phrases? My friend Nicki says it originated from a movie starring Clint Eastwood, who is…FUN FACT ALERT: who I would have been named after if I were to have been born a dude. But I digress…introducing Nubby Niblet!

The calmest corn I ever did see

After the cornsuit-clad bed jumping, I was ready to do a bit of NYC RAGIN’ before I had to go to the airport…at 7am. The newlyweds were too pooped to get in on some liquor-fueled hijinks with Star, Gilda and I, but luckily Miss Gea Philes came ready to rock n’ rawl. Gea is the artist responsible for the paperdoll and other cartoon Maries you see on the site. I finally met her in person! Can’t wait til she comes to the west coast and meets my homegirls. It will undoubtedly be a wild time.

Me and Miss *Gea

Star and I briefly stopped in this hidden speakeasy type of place called The Back Room for a drink. I like the whole serving booze in teacups gimmick. She had a gin drink called “The Girl Friday” (yay!) and I had a ….”Velvet Hand” (some of you, please make glove thief jokes now.)

Why Hello There.

Star is my gal! I love our adventures together.

I don’t think I can ever do another just 40 HOURS IN NYC again. It gave me blue balls because there wasn’t time to do anything and I love it there! No time to visit my favorite haunts, hunt down that custom macaroni and cheese restaurant, prowl for hottie menz, do some choppin’. I didn’t even have time to buy Reyna an I <3 NYC baby tee so she had to settle for a Bluto Pez dispenser. Sorry boo! 🙁 Oh New York, I wanna come back to you and do you right, do you right!

I’ve been listening to a lot of Interpol this week. Gets me so hot. Also reminds me of NYC because the first time I went there in 2005 I saw Carlos D at The Dark Room. Delishis.
So addicted:

Interpol – “Pace is the Trick”
