christiane f.// We Children from Bahnhof Zoo

I watched Christiane F. last night and I can't believe I waited so long to do so. The movie tells the story of Christiane, a 13 year old girl and her downward spiral into the drug scene in West Berlin.
Christiane is brought to a teen disco by a friend, and there has her first "trip." It seems as though she takes her first pills even before she tries drinking because she orders cherry juice at the bar. David Bowie is playing and the colored lights of the disco are bright and optimistic. But at 138 minutes, this film has plenty of time to devolve to the zombie-like heroin addict Christiane becomes by the end. Right after she snorts H for the first time, the David Bowie soundtrack cuts out, replaced by menacing orchestral sounds similar to the Trans Siberian Orchestra's The Shining soundtrack. Director Uli Edel seemed to pay special attention that drug use not be glamourized in Christiane F..

Ripped-on-the-butt jeans...// 100% not ironic summer fashion pt.1

...and some other summer fashion advice to stay cool and cooool ;)
Chloe Sevigny looking fly, paying no mind that she's showing her bottom in a pair of jeans that are probably too comfortable to throw out. Jeans mainly fail in this specific area (see above)...why bother wasting your life-mainly summer life; the one that matters- mending clothes indoors (L-A-M-E).
I'm telling you, do as I say and let that warm breeze flow through. Keep it as classy as butt-ripped jeans can be with a white T and some flat docs or vans or whatever...without socks.
