When Teddy Boys Become Tommy Boys…

June 17th, 2010

We’ve loved the polite party boys of Locksley for quite some time now, but we haven’t seen them become the Monkee incarnation we always knew they could be.

It looks like Tommy and Andy Hilfiger are on the same page, though, because we hear that Locksley is the latest band to star in a Fall Hilfiger campaign.

Whether it’s for Tommy Hilfiger’s collection or for denim remains to be seen, but we hope they get a TV commercial - complete with their soundtrack - out of the deal.

After all, educating kids on well-fit clothing is good, but showing the nation a rock band that wasn’t born on American Idol… that’s fucking amazing.

WHICH singer’s sister just took an internship in the Topshop press department?

We bet she’ll be answering their t-t-t-telephone a lot.

Side note:

Why does Topshop keep getting all the coolest kids?!

Le sigh.

Give Me Liberty

June 15th, 2010

Happiness hit her like a train on a track

Coming towards her stuck still no turning back

She hid around corners and she hid under beds

She killed it with kisses and from it she fled…

Kiss and Tell

June 15th, 2010

WHICH singing actress is a little too candid with cool members of the press?

Her teen magazine cover had a tres petit article to accompany it, because during her interview, all she wanted to talk about was how much she loves to smoke pot.

To be fair, we’d need some herbal calming, too, if we were so busy trying to be a huge, take-me-seriously starlet, with huge, take-me-seriously red carpet outfits to match.

Rumor Mill: A British fashion super power is ready to open a new US boutique.

But where will it be?

Los Angeles?

Miami?

Dallas?

Or somewhere closer to Millenium Park, the Art Institute, and major deep dish pizza?

Hey, don’t ask me - I’m just imaginary.

Summer Means The Dress That Won’t Die

From: sophie@riverdale.edu

The dress has still not been exterminated.

Indeed.

Though it seems to have been contained to the back lot of the old Virgin Suicides movie set.

Californication, Track 3

May 2nd, 2010

To the boy shooting blanks:

Nobody believes you when you hold her hand. There’s no conviction, no blood flow, no heart. This is not the action of a joyful early Beatles song. You know it; we know it: Your love has gone limp. But if you can’t let go of her, that’s okay - just know I still hate you, and still think you’re great.

To the boy shooting drinks:

This is a fun game, but sooner or later we’ll have to stop looking so scared. I don’t think drugs are gonna help you; I don’t think extra lip gloss is gonna help me. Maybe it’s an after-midnight thing that happens when souls hatch open because you’re too tired to guard them. Maybe it’s a Montauk thing, when seeing a bathing suit leads to seeing the future. Either way, we probably need a carton of cigarettes and a dying cell phone. And I don’t even smoke.

To the boy shooting the breeze:

Next time, I’ll say yes.
