Just a girl... that has no idea what she's doing and will probably change this as soon as she does. This is basically a way to pass the time through one of my obsessions. You'll probably just see a bunch of stuff that has no relation to the next and me geeking out over them. Enjoy.

According to The New Yorker, the pair “established their rooms as (in the words of a home-town friend) the spot to ‘lie down on a chaise lounge, get mellow with a few drinks, and listen to Marlene Dietrich records.’” Pompous and eccentric?
