TANGENTS...


*Not at all demode, hmm?

*Ringwald speaks! I was/am still obsessed with her costumes in Pretty in Pink but I always hated that ugly prom dress - and so did she...I am perplexed on re-watching P.I.P. by the male characters though: Duckie is pathetic, Blane is spineless and Steff (James Spader) is an obnoxious slimy bastard - but I'm strangely attracted to him.



*Real Pretty in Pink trailer / Clever re-cut alternative trailer.

*p.s. Molly if you're reading this (which I'm sure you definitely are): These vintage Ferragamo boots from Dulcinee remind me of the Ralph Lauren ones you regret not keeping from The Breakfast Club. (p.p.s. you should do more press - I've been thinking you were married to AdRock all these years.)


*WikiLOL. Proof that wikipedia really does have the answer to everything.

*I finally watched this film. I'm so shallow that I can't stop thinking about how nice her wide trousers and sandals were.

where did you see meshes of the afternoon? I've wanted to see that for ages. Also, a bit random...as a clearly supremely stylish person, I thought you might be able to tell me where in London is a good place for buying decent fashion magazines (i.e not vogue). Many thanks, anna.x

hi anna - a friend of mine downloaded meshes. Found it really easily which was a surprise. You can watch it on google (bad quality) and in bits on youtube though...Re mags: may I direct you to my gridskipper post on this:

but RD Franks (Winsley Street off Oxford Street) and Magma (Earlham Street, Covent Garden) are good places to start...

I find the James Spader effect, and James Spader himself, disturbing... BB
