Wino(na) Forever

I know it's been a minute.

I had no idea Winona was in the Black Swan (portraying an aging prima ballerina...OMG).

It's better to burn out than fade away, baby.

As a kid, I never missed an episode of The Muppet Show. Fact: Muppets have impeccable musical taste. Wocka, wocka.

Who doesn't love nebula pants? As long as they're not crab nebulae, that is. Weh-weh.

OK, maybe the pants - especially the shorts - are a bit much...but I admit, I covet that scarf.

I wouldn't kick that Joy Division 7" out of bed, either. (Insert joke here)

hey baby, it's the 4th of july

Under the big black sun

Exene at Tire Beach, 1979

Here are some sunny, Summery images of Exene and the boys in X to get you in the Independence weekend spirit. Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below...

cruel summer

Siobhan Fahey was my favorite member of Bananarama. She left the group in the 1980s when she married Dave Stewart of Eurythmics and formed Shakespears Sister. Here she is at 51 - and she's still got it.

Some girls wanted to grow up to be to be Florence Nightingale. I wanted to be Anita Pallenberg (or any of the Rolling Stones' chicks). As a kid, I used to look at photos of Bianca Jagger in my mother's Vogue and thought it was genius that I couldn't tell her and Mick apart.
