I like nearly all the same '80s bands as all three of my elder sisters, who were once authentic fans. I do not like Duran Duran, however, and I believe no one really liked Joy Division, since their existence as a band ended in '80 with Curtis' death, my sisters were too young and perhaps too in to the go-gos, but they like New Order. Anyways, I have had this Smith's shirt that I found in Betsey's trunk in the cellar and deemed it instantly cool/punk rock, even before I played old Smiths records for myself on our (now broken) player. The shirt just looked badass. And once I realized I loved Morissey, I felt I had enough cred to wear it to high school. Lots of kids wondered if I was a vegetarian based on the "Meat is Murder" slogan. But the shirt was worn and soft like a good authentic vintage band tee should be. Too bad I turned my nose up at many other cool Billy Bragg, Pixies, and Echo & the Bunneyman tees. Anyways, I built a little getup yesterday around The Smiths tee, and I thought I looked cute when Billy scooped me up and took me to dinner at the heavily hipster Julian's. I also tried an Orlando Pita-styled for Derek Lam FW RTW 2008 runway hairstyle that looked good for 10 minutes, then fell out and I resorted to a normal ponytail...

I feel as though I should be working at some cool record shop...like the one Molly Ringwald works at with Annie Potts in Pretty in Pink!
