There are girls, I suppose, who wear high-heels to school. But these girls make me cringe, sort of. These girls are lady-douches. And it breaks my heart, it really does, because all that I want is to be able to wear heels. And dresses and pencil skirts made of tweed. Small steps can be taken, nail polish, lipstick, plastic pearl earrings, but really my wardrobe is still all old stretched out men's punk band teeshirts and abused jeans. And the thing is that I'm not quite ready to let go of that. I'm culturally confused, caught between Karen O and Grace Kelly. And that is not a fucking easy spectrum to fall in. I want noir language, and romance. I want my life to read like a J.D. Salinger book without the goddamn suicidal tendencies. And I want all of this whilst listening to the Clash.
In black and white movies, everyone was beautiful. How was it that people spoke so differently? Was it only in cinema? Did everyone have that formal drawl? Wasn't a good portion of Casablanca adlibbed? I want that accent, for those kinds of words to come to mind before anything I heard on the television today. Everyone was beautiful until they weren't, and the thing that went wrong with us is fucking identifiable. I don't feel bad for how much I can't stand hippies because they, like Jack White (seriously, step away from the musical instruments), destroy every goddamn thing they touch. Hippies ruined beauty, they were a bunch of broken kids who took drugs out normal fucking angst and suddenly it all makes sense? what's that, the only way to fight the fucking man is to live in the streets and fuck eachother until everyone is diseased and sex is ruined for everybody for the rest of goddamn history? good plan. and let's fight stereotypes and racism by being really really really really dirty and never changing our clothes. let's call everyone who is beautiful square, until no one takes the time to be beautiful anymore. Hippies are everything that went wrong with culture, same as Led Zeppelin is everything that went wrong with Rock n' Roll.
So let's do the real punk rock thing and fight back against society in a way that isn't damaging to the cultural character of the country. Let's step back a few decades and forget about the free-love transgression. I propose that we get fucking glamorous again. This isn't my looking pretty attracting boys, not trying to be sexy. There's a difference between being sexy and being sexual. and I'm nothing if not sexual. this is for me and what i want and if i may be so bold as to suggest that it should be what you want too.
so get your fucking ass to banana republic.
and probably buy some fucking pixies albums.
