In which my dream to do a group Heathers-themed Halloween costume is validated, Anaïs Nin continues to fascinate, and people have feelings about leggings. Plus much more!
Tag: Heathers
As a member of Generation X myself, I’ve often wondered why there’s so little discussion of us in popular discourse. PMag was one of the first places I came that talked about things that were important to my not-quite-Greatest Generation. And, come on, Heathers is awesome. – Slay As a teenager in the late eighties, […]
Happy Friday, Persephoneers!
We all know the movie studios are having difficulty coming up with original ideas – how else can you explain every other movie either being a reboot or a sequel – but now it seems to have spread to the Bravo network.

Lunchtime Poll “” Be JJ Abrams Day
It’s that time again, and one of these days I’m totally going Heathers on your asses and asking about what you’d do if you won a million dollars the day before the end of the world. Today, however, is not that day.
As a teenager in the late eighties, Winona Ryder was my hero. An article in either Bop! or Tiger Beat once misidentified her birthday as the same as mine, so in my vapid teenage way I felt, you know, really connected to her. I’m not sure if it was Dracula or finding out we were […]

The Sun is Up, the Sky is Blue
It’s beautiful, and so are you, dear readers. Happy Wednesday morning! It’s National Bring A Teddy Bear to Work Day. No, I’m not kidding. We won’t judge you for bringing something fuzzy and full of stuffing to the office. We’ve worked in the corporate world, having a teddy bear to snuggle while going into the […]
