Freaks & Geeks
With September right around the corner, it is the perfect time to revisit Freaks & Geeks. While you may be heading back to school soon or wishing you were, this is an amazing series about the kids who just don’t fit in anywhere (let alone at school).

Dark Lips
“As dusk falls, she radiates a magnetic charm and an aura of mystery. Her look? A diaphanous complexion, graphic eyes alight with a glimmer of pearl gray, and femme fatale lips sculpted in a purple shade. An icon of femininity.” - Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2009 Collection

Yesterday at Warped Tour I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my favorite bands. I spoke to George Pettit & Wade MacNeil. They were awesome guys… very friendly and down to earth.

IMDB: “Sixteen-year-old Michael Dunn arrives at St. Basil’s Catholic Boys School in Brooklyn circa 1965. There, he befriends all of the misfits in his class as they collide with the repressive faculty and discover the opposite sex as they come of age.”

In my pursuit of trying to find something to keep me entertained, I stumbled upon 10 Things I Hate About You. Yes, it is based on the movie. Yes, the plot is very close to the movie.
