My trip to the library today turned into nostalgia for a time when I was wearing frilly socks, white Keds, and un-ironic ponytails. Yes, the early 1990s. Love is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield and sTORI TELLING by...you know who. I mean, you can only read so much about this totally awesome girl who was like, really into Pavement and had such a free spirit and made her own clothes. Sometimes you need to know about the pug Mimi LaRue's clothing boutique on Rodeo Drive. But I feel guilty saying anything smarmy about Sheffield's book because his wife dies in the end. So I'm just gonna be quiet now and think about what I want for dinner: BBQ ribs, potato salad, beans, and fried apple pie in a skillet with vanilla bean ice cream!
