Twenty-eight.

I made it out of 27 alive! Goodbye golden year, hello 28. Here is my inspiration for the day:

 

And tonight, Pyramid Club on Avenue A...a place where the woman pictured above 

partied and performed in the '80s. Authenticity.

update:

I channeled her using clothes I already own and wear. I call this look: early-'80s-Madonna-Amy. Though the only authentically '80s (and possible early '90s) thing I am wearing are my old snap bracelets. And I'm not wearing my pink fingerless lace gloves in this photo! 

Music Video: "The Killing Moon"

A couple weeks ago, I was feverish and watching 120 Minutes on VH1-Classic, which really needs to come on at times other than 4am. Anyway, I have always loved this song, but I'd never before seen the video. Vocalist Ian McCulloch is adorable in the semi-light, and the hit song is as haunting as ever.

From the Vaults: Andrew Fletcher of Depeche Mode

In the spring of 2009, my partner-in-crime, Kyle Timlin, and I showed up at the chic hotel where Andrew Fletcher (co-founder of Depeche Mode) was staying, in Manhattan. We were invited upstairs to his temporary abode, which happened to also be Johnny Depp's favorite room. We all sat down in the living room as Andy discussed Depeche Mode of today, their latest album at the time, Sounds of the Universe, and the early days of his influential band. Here's one clip from that truly awesome conversation.
