Memory Lane

In middle school, I never wanted to hang out at the mall like everyone else. While my girlfriends wasted their weekends at Contempo Casuals, my best friend Garen and I would eat sugared popcorn and watch old movies on the VCR in our den. We'd watch our favorites over and over, fast-forwarding to the best parts. I found a clip of one such moment on Youtube yesterday:



The wink at 1:17! SO amazing. This is from The Perfect Partnership, a documentary that my mom taped off of PBS in the 80's. She had a major thing for Nureyev, and can you blame her? Just look at him:

Poppet Loves 60's Euro Pop

Poppet is a vintage boutique in NYC's East Village that caters to the discerning vintage-lover. But, we're more than pretty frocks and mind-blowing monster platforms. We love music, art, politics, our community, life...and we'd like to share it with you. So, for our first post, we'd like to point you in the direction of our fellow blogger Mordi, who maintains blowupdoll.

Clearly Mordi shares our penchant for 60's Euro Pop music and he posts songs for download from some of our favorite European artists, such as Poppet's muse Jane Birkin, as well as some off-the-beaten track recordings from American artists like Sissy Spacek. That's right, the Carrie we all knew and loved before SJP claimed the name. Check it out and let us know what you think.
