Back Again
It's been six years since I've posted on this blog. When I look at the last post I wrote on this site, I see a point in time where I gave up on so many things I cared about. I started this blog when I was thirteen (and called it "That's Just My Bag" because "That's My Bag" was taken, ha!) and looking back to these first posts make me so happy! From the point when I made my last post in 2014 till now, I feel like I was trying to get back to the point where I was at when I was thirteen: inspired, creative, and excited to write!
Here are some things I'm inspired by right now:
- Costume design for films
- 90s fashion photography
- Shoegaze, 90s, alt music
- Photographer Lauren Greenfield
- Vintage style/ fashion inspo
- J.E.H. MacDonald, Lake O'Hara, c. 1929, oil on cardboard, 21.5 x 26.6 cm, National Gallery of Canada

Matthew Sweet talks about the album cover of 'Girlfriend'
Matthew Sweet's album cover for Girlfriend is one of my favorite album covers. I've always been curious about the choice of the photograph and who that girl is on the cover. In an interview with Spin on the 20th anniversary of Girlfriend, Matthew Sweet explains it all:
"Record companies just want you to put a picture of yourself on the album cover. But there was something about her attitude that I liked. It's funny because she was only 13 or 14 years old in that photo. I had collected memorabilia of actresses from the '50s and '60s, like Kim Novak, Carol Baker, and Jean Seberg. It was hard to get Tuesday Weld to approve it, because she was a recluse and eccentric, but we finally got her approval. However, at the time, the album was called Nothing Lasts and the label got the idea that they should get a hold of Tuesday Weld and tell her that's what it was called. Which of course just made her feel like, "What do you mean 'nothing lasts' with my photo?" So I changed the title to Girlfriend at the eleventh hour, so we didn't have to mess with the Tuesday Weld photo. It was a better title for it because it was so much more positive, you know?"
