Vicariously Through You: Video Escapism

The seasons are in the longest goddamn transitional period ever. It can't make up its damn mind whether I need a coat, light sweater, or nothing at all and it's making me CRAZY! That means a lot of wasted outdoor spring opportunity spent inside which leads to me getting lost in the internet for hours upon end. Get lost, it's fun!

Roxy Spring/Summer videos always get me excited for the beach/jealous of Roxy models. Damn you and your ridiculously frequent trips to Tahiti!

The video may scream female objectivity, but all I want to do is dance! I mean, T.I. is having more fun in this video than anybody.

If I could have one ability that wasn't fantastical, like mind control or flying, it would be to sing. If I was given this ability, I would want to sing like Nadine Shah. Just Listen and you'll agree!

A 1960s home video of a surf trip from Northern Virginia to the Outer Banks and then down to Florida. Love stuff like this!

If I could sing in French, I would want to sound like Francoise Hardy.

It's well-known that I just don't care for Ohio, which is why I think this video is hilarious!

After the success of the first one, they outdid themselves with a new one that is even funnier than the first.

Okay, Okay. I've suckered you into a lazy post full of a bunch of random crap that I like, but hey, I probably killed like 45 minutes of your time. And if that's work time, even better! Surrender to the internet!

People I Would Have Stalked In A Past Life: Francoise Hardy

Staying with the whole French thing, I disclose one of my most treasured style icons. Francoise Hardy is pretty much the coolest person ever; I love her music and her style and she just exudes cool. I strive to look as fabulous is t-shirts and jeans as she did, but I continue to fail! Francoise whole appeal was effortlessly chic, something the French do very well. There's something about spending your days eating great food, looking cool, and having no expectations of being nice to people that appeals to me. And how they do that with all that cheese and wine I have no idea. Most cheese and wine encounters I have usually end up somewhere on or around the toilet, so maybe that's why they're all so thin. That's it, I've solved the mystery! You really can't go wrong with a loose blouse, jeans, leather jacket, and ankle boots. It always looks good, and since most of these items are really in this season you can find them allover the place at reasonable prices. Finish off your look with a liquid liner cat-eye and you're good to go. Just don't be like me and mess up a thousand times with practically immovable black liquid liner residue, smudged all over my face resulting in everyone asking you later that night if I've been domestically abused.
