...Is what P and I were shouting at about 10.30p last night, the impatient toddlers that we are. We went to see Little Boots at Le Poisson Rougealong with T and Dand I have to say that I can't remember the last time I left a show so...so...in love. (Though, unlike the could-be mos behind us, I do NOT want to have her babies.) And I can't decide what I liked most: the suburban girl dance routines, the Hitchcockian platinum updo, or, um, the music. So judge for yourself?
Stuck On Repeat - Little Boots
Meddle - Little BootsTry to look past the fact that this photo is soooo over-styled that I want to shoot myself. I picked it for the sheer blondness of the hair.
I've had zero interest in Look at This Fucking Hipster until now. I mean, I get the joy of it, but I can see people wearing gold lamé shirts, neon orange sunglasses, and ironic top-siders without going on the internet. But! The lovely Max Silvestri did a Q&A with the guy behind the meme for Gawker of all places. The best part's below, but the whole thing's geniusin a way that makes me suspect I know who mystery blogger is, too. ANYWAYS:The only hipsters I hate are the motherfuckers who write quasi-intellectual hate email to me. I get so many messages that are like, "Fuck you, man. You're the hipster...You're using a false term to describe something that's just a social construct." Okay, I get it, you went to college. What do you want from me? A grade? You want me to grade your email? 'F' There. You get an F. Go away. Everyone went to college.
Oh, god help us. I'm sure this comes as a huge SHOCKER, but people name their offspring after celebrities. In this culture?!? But! According to an article by baby-naming expert (yah, who knows) Pamela Redmond Satran for The Daily Beast, they don't stick to, um, classy ones: Three of the fastest-growing names for girls are Khloe (Kardashian), Miley (Cyrus), and Audrina (Partridge).I mean, what about Whitney? At least she got the spin-off.The top 10s are here (and are pretty predictable)Madison, anyone?
At the Met Gala.For the win:Jessica Stam. I mean, first of all, Rodarte. Thank you. Beyond that, everything works: the hair, the shoes, the pose.At the other end of the spectrum:Jessica Biel. I've said this once, and I'll say it again: High school volleyball player. That's all I see. And, why do I feel like these two clowns look like they're at a costume party where they decided to go as Brad and Angelina? Not working.More pretty and not-so-pretty dresses over ats The Cut.
Taylor Swift's video for "The Best Day," which is about her mom and composed entirely of home videos. I mean, die.
