Where Did I Park the Lightcycle?
It’s official. They just announced a sequel to Tron.
Which means someone has been reading my dreams.

I’m Telling You Girl, That Armor’s Gonna Look Fierce On You
Jeanne d’Arc / Eugene Thirion / 1876
Saint Joan of Arc had a great look going on. The armor, the bobbed hair cut, the brash, sexy attitude. I would have dated her. But, unfortunately, I broke my time machine. So here’s an alternative. If I were to date a girl today who kind of looked like Joan of Arc, what would I have her wear? Thanks to a site called Polyvore (and my friend Catherine at MyTurtleneck for pointing it out), I can bring that dream to life.
Here’s an outfit I’m calling “Joan of Art.”

Salvatore Ferragamo-Rose Fingerless Gloves / LuisaViaroma.com
Stella McCartney Cotton Panther Print Tank / Net-A-Porte.com
Dolce & Gabbana Logo Rosary Necklace / LuisaViaroma.com
Roberto Cavalli Onyx Tusk Pendant / Net-A-Porte.com
Aurelie Bidermann Silver Feather Earrings / LuisaViaroma.com
Acid Baxter Skinny Jeans / TopShop.com
Converse All Star Lo Cloud Animals / Journeys.com
A Condom That Will Make Your Friends Wonder If You Died
ThatsMyPleasure.com / Durex Bare Condoms / Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness
My friend, Alvin Ho Young, is one of the art directors who worked on the new Durex Bare site. The photography is incredibly hot, and the product sounds like the next best thing to the Roman Empire.
The site has an e-card generator where it asks you to “pick your pleasure.”
Here’s the one I just sent out.

No One Told Me Anna Wintour is Hot
Wait, what?
This woman has to stop hiding behind her sunglasses. Those eyes… I’m smitten. Yes, I know she’s supposed to be an ice queen, but I’m not buying it. I was just watching the trailer for the new Vogue documentary, The September Issue. I was following her mannerisms and body language. This woman is a sweetheart, and she’s incredibly funny – although, I think people are missing the joke. I love the part where she says her father decided she would become the editor-in-chief of Vogue. You know—Just decided. Girl, that’s crazy talk. But I love you for it.

French Diplomats Just Got Way Cuter

I just did a google search on the new M83 album to figure out who this girl is with the incredibly hot voice. It turns out she’s an American, Morgan Kibby, based in LA. Here’s an interview they did in support of Saturdays = Youth.
Ugh. I’m in love.
Hush Hush, Eye To Eye
I think it’s clear by now that I’m a huge fan of all things Manchester. But wouldn’t you know, just when I think I have a handle on all of the bands that have come out of that great city, another one pops up on my radar—this one, quite possibly, the most unexpected of them all. To illustrate, here’s a quick quiz. Which one of these is not like the other ones?
1) Joy Division
2) New Order
3) The Smiths
4) Kajagoogoo
Let’s have a look at #4.
Who was the event planner that booked Kaja for this gig?
Apparently, Kajagoogoo went into the witness relocation program shortly after the release of Too Shy, because here’s the lead singer resurfacing a year later as Limahl—singing the theme song to The Never Ending Story.
Wait for the part where he’s sitting in the library.
So what have we learned here? 1) Never underestimate a city’s gross domestic product, 2) hexagonal drums are far more fierce than regular drums, and 3) Don’t be shy about teasing up that bleach blonde mullet. It will protect you from the Nothing.

M83 Makes Me Wish I Was French
If you owned a Vuarnet t-shirt in the 80s, and listened to a lot of Berlin, chances are you’ll love the new(ish) album by M83. This is a good one for walking around an abandoned graveyard at sunset. Not that I would.
Their videos couldn’t be any more French. This one is like the indie kid version of The Red Balloon.
And funny enough, this one (below) was filmed at my school (Bennington College). The video is gloriously bad. The song, on the other hand, is one of my favorite M83 tracks of all time. From what I heard, the director was friends with the band and happened to be sleeping with one of the students (the girl featured in the video – which makes me only half-forgive him).
Wait for the part with the medieval sword fighting. My friend Josh is sitting on the lawn in the yellow sweatshirt at the beginning.
