It's got somethin'!

I've read maybe a fifth of The Death of Bunny Munro and I am not at all sure how I feel about it.

That is REALLY saying something, because I LOVE Nick Cave. I loved And the Ass Saw the Angel. But this? I hate to say it, but I’ve read more than a few snippets that are laughably bad.

I’ll keep reading. We’ll see where it goes.

I don’t understand how we have the technology for a Will.I.Am hologram, but we still don’t have food that delivers itself to your bed.

I for one don’t understand why, out of ALL the people to hologram onto CNN, they pick Will.i.am. Like there was NO ONE ELSE BETTER TO HOLOGRAM.

whatawonderful, I feel like you are the ONLY ONE WHO WILL APPRECIATE THIS

Ever since I watched My So-Called Life, I’ve been connecting the characters to Buffy characters. I just started watching season five and um I just wanna say how much I LOVE how excited Dawn is to hear Xander will be her babysitter. I ALWAYS pegged Xander as Buffy’s Brian Krakow so hearing Dawn get all excited was THE PERFECT CONFIRMATION.

I just… really needed to say that.

Tumblr is bringing out the nerd in me.

I miss Dracula.

FUCK EDWARD CULLEN SO GODDAMN HARD. Dracula is so much hotter.

In the past few years, I feel like it's particularly evident that one couture line is particularly dominating the trends: Lover.

And it’s EXACTLY TWO YEARS EARLY. Every time.

The first time I really noticed it was after 2006’s fall collection “About a Girl”, an absolutely gorgeous tribute to Kurt Cobain and ’90s grunge in general (because I could swear that one of those dresses was pretty much a copy of a dress Angela Chase wears in My So-Called Life). Two years ago, the plaid and lace leggings present in that line became HUGE. EVERYWHERE. Still is.

In 2007 I believe, fall-ish, a collection called “Electric Ladyland” was dedicated to the unspeakably cool “groupies” (most of them were, at least) of the era who would go on to take strong roles in rock ‘n’ roll, particularly Marianne Faithfull and Patti Smith. I just got an email from Topshop saying that this is what’s cool now (and they’ve actually been saying that for a year or so).

EXACTLY TWO YEARS.

Seriously, I do NOT know how they do it, and I won’t know what’s to come as I haven’t followed Lover since “Electric Ladyland”, but it was ASTOUNDING to see them predict and dictate the future of fashion, as they still are and I’m sure will continue to.
