Here you go.

Even though this blog has fallen into a state of disrepair this summer (example: we used to have two followers and now we only have one. Our readership has decreased by 50% just because of a lack of Alex/any posts at all!), sometimes I see things I just need to post immediately. This Tumblr about Rosanne fashion is one of those things. Yer welcome. Everytime I get upset about what the internet is doing to our lives, something like this comes along and reminds me why it's so important.

The Best Picture

When I came across this picture, I actually gasped.

Dolly's look is without reproach, as always, but Cher is just delightfully insane. She looks like she tried to put together a David Bowie costume, but she only had the store DEB at her disposal.

Tammy Wynette

There are basically two types of music I like: dance music from the 80s (Prince, New Order, the song Electric Dreams) and traditional, old-fashioned country music (the type my grandpa calls "country-western"). One of my all-time favorite movies, Five Easy Pieces, featured a character named Rayette, played brilliantly by Karen Black. Rayette is obsessed with Jack Nicholson (who could blame her, even though he clearly doesn't give a shit about her), and in my tradition of identifying with the entirely wrong character in every movie, I felt a very deep connection to Rayette. She was constantly listening to Tammy Wynette throughout the movie, including this song. I love that Tammy Wynette is always decked out in sequins, even while singing such a sad, desperate song.

Also, this picture sums up all that is great about Five Easy Pieces:

Karen Black in an animal print coat, Jack Nicholson being a badass, and that crazy lady that Bob Rafelson puts in all of his movies. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and Netflix it now! It's on Instant Play.

Cher

Alex has been on spring break this week, so it's a good time to turn this into my style blog. I want this look, but I'm gonna need some bigger false eyelashes. And some bigger eyes. And just better bone structure, and the look of an entirely different ethnicity.
