Fashion Tracks: Devil With The Blue Dress, Shorty Long

I once belted out Shorty Long's Devil With The Blue Dress at a karaoke party. Thank goodness I was seven and hadn't developed a sense of shame yet... Also, I love Anna. Really. Precisely because she is kind of a devil. I have no doubt that the bob will never die. It seems silly and unrealistic, like Briony Tallis' ever-present bob in the film adaptation of Atonement. But no, seriously, I picture her having regular trims in hospice. Or maybe even postmortem, Lenin's tomb-style.

Fashion Tracks: I Want To Sleep In My Party Dress, Liz Isenberg

I first started listening to singer/songwriter Liz Isenberg in my junior year of high school when I began looking at potential colleges. I stumbled upon Hampshire College, which somehow lead me a Isenberg's Myspace (she was a student there at the time). The hazy, lo-fi I Want To Sleep In My Party Dress made me long for sun soaked summer afternoons napping in sixties shift dresses.
