Back when Ben and I first started dating, I wore my hair like the girl in this video. Short and blond. I was sixteen.
The Smiths' ‘How Soon is Now?’ was a required track on all of our mix tapes back then. And now, twenty years later, it’s on my iPod.
Oh, Morrissey, where did the years go? And why did I ever give away all of my Doc Martens?
I’ve pretty much been listening to this song on a loop since Friday.
I just downloaded some old favorites that I haven't heard since forever ago. Mostly, they're tracks off of girl band albums. I think it's funny the way we call groups with one or more female band members "girl bands." Much in the same way that we call movies with casts, which are predominately female, "chick flicks," or women bloggers, who happen to be mothers, "mommy bloggers."
Now, I've gone and worked myself up thinking about the way women are portrayed in the media. I must be getting my period.
[This first one is a little on the cusp...NSFW? The rest should be safe for work as long as you won't get fired for watching music videos there!]
