Third Verse, Different From The First

How great was the Munsters? So great, that's how great.



The theme song had that surfer sixties feel, which was totally inappropriate for the subject of the show, in a way. It's like if Psychobilly was a TV show, it would be the Munsters.

Plus Lily had that glamorous Morticia Addams/Vampira style going on. I kind of liked her better than Morticia Addams, actually.

But let's not forget Marilyn Munster! Bombshell.

You're The Dirty Hack That Shot Your Woman Down

In middle school I had this friend with an older sister who I thought was oh-so-awesome. She had the best clothes, great makeup, impeccable musical taste, modeled, really edgy, etc, etc.

She also read Nylon, so I decided that I had to as well. I remember seeing this issue in their house in particular that especially piqued my interest:

It seems that as I have been subscribed over the last 5/6 years, though, I have been witnessing the steady decline of the magazine. Granted, occasionally they'll have a few interesting features, or will pick a decent cover subject. I think they still do pretty good music reviews.

However, who can forget the dreaded Paris Hilton issue?
Even the most recent one... not great. Hillary Duff? Really?

I think the SJP issue of Elle the other month had edgier styling. This issue read a little "Teen Vogue" for me.

Moral of the story? I need a new, actually inspiring subscription.
I wish Jalouse was cheaper in the states.

Last Rites To All My Sleepless Nights

New year, new decade, "spring" cleaning. Gonna clean out my home (as opposed to school) closet tonight and purge some crap I never wear. I love organizing stuff, but my room always looks like a bomb went off since I hate re-hanging my clothes up in between outfit changes.

Anyway, hopefully this semester I will find the energy to decorate my school apartment to make it feel more homey.

In the spirit of home decor, here are some 50s-esque couch pictures I like that I have collected:
