shakedown 1979 ... cool kids never have the time

a couple of things that i don't quite understand:

1. high-waisted pants. they're overdone, and only a few people know how to make them look good anymore ... but mischa pulls it off pretty well in that picture.

2. bags of chips. they're not filling, they're salty and sometimes even greasy, i hate the sound they make when people chew them, and there are loads of things that taste better and are healthier.

3. using violence to protest the 2008 olympics

4. really thin, overplucked eyebrows

5. Chace Crawford's and Carrie Underwood's "gossip girl"-style break up (it was via text message)

but the old CBGB bar/club/venue is looking good again. John Varvatos turned it into his new store.

he kept the graffiti on the walls and the posters are still up, which adds to the vintage feel of the place. supposedly, he promised to do justice to CBGB's legacy, and i think he did a pretty good job, judging from the picture. i wonder if he kept anything else from the original space.

and how quaint that i mention '40s glamour in my last post and this photo (from the new Vanity Fair) of Kristen Bell pops up. i like the hair, the bathing suit, the shoes, the adornments, the pose, etc., it's a lovely shot.
