Halloween is for amateurs.

 Halloween, she argued, was a day for terrified people who otherwise live a life of polo shirts, Dockers, and sneaker-bottom loafers to finally let their freak flags fly. "Every day is Halloween for me."

And she has a point. If I want to dress like a suburban boy on a European teen tour to go to the grocery store, I do it. If I want to let my kimono drag across the floor while I pour Whispering Angel rosé into a Chelsea Lately mug, that, too, is my prerogative. With every outfit I evoke a character, even if that character is a pro golfer named Jan who wears a fleece vest and orders three hot dogs at the movies. I spend the entire year occupying my arsenal of freak people. Some are sexy in a way that translates in a dark bar. Some make people cross the street. Others are known only to me as I skitter around the house at night in a Bermuda-tourism T-shirt. But my characters need to bust out 365 days a year, not just on Oct 31.

Reobsessed with this song.

No there ain't nothing that I gotta prove You think your words will make me black and blue But I, I think im pretty with these old boots on I think its funny when I drink too much, hey You try and change me you can go to hell Cause I don't want to be nobody else I like the chip I got in my front teeth And I got bad tattoos you won't believe So kick out the jams, kick up the soul Pour another glass of that rock and roll Turn up the band, fire in the hole Gonna lose control tonight What do you want from me? I'm not America's sweetheart So beat the drum with me, I'm not America's sweetheart Well they say I'm too loud for this town So I lit a match and burned it down What do you want from me, I'm not America’s sweet heart But you love me anyway My hands are dirty and my heart is cold Them boys I've been with say I got no soul, when I, I meet another honey at the bar, I'll think its funny when I break his heart, mmm now, My kind of medicine is whiskey straight, I got a mouth to put you in your place, and they, They said I'll never be the poster type, But they don't make posters of my kind of life

So kick out the jams, kick up the soul Pour another glass of that rock and roll Turn up the band, fire in the hole Gonna lose control tonight What do you want from me? I'm not America’s sweetheart So beat the drum with me, I'm not America’s sweetheart Well they say I'm too loud for this town So I lit a match and burned it down What do you want from me? I'm not America’s sweetheart, but you love me anyway You love me anyway You love me anyway 

Kick out the jams, kick up the soul Pour another glass of that rock and roll Turn up the band, fire in the hole, holler if you ready, Gonna lose control Kick out the jams, kick up the soul Pour another glass of that rock and roll Turn up the band, fire in the hole, Gonna lose control tonight What do you want from me? I'm not America’s sweetheart So beat the drum with me, I'm not America’s sweetheart Well they say I'm too loud for this town So I lit a match and burned it down What do you want from me? I'm not America’s sweetheart, but you love me anyway You love me anyway You love me anyway  I'm not America’s sweetheart

"Did you know 'The Letter' by the Box Tops is a minute and 58 seconds long? It means nothing. Nil. But it takes them less that two minutes to accomplish what Jethro Tull takes HOURS to NOT accomplish!" #almostfamous #lesterbangs #theboxtops #45rpm #record #vinyl

My other treasure from the day, found at the Vintage Soiree. #vintage #theblues

[themollygolightly-blog]

I'm in love with the granny chic purse I found at the Vintage Soiree (with the original Rich's pricr tag!) and it goes perfectly with the FABULOUS wool coat with a mink collar and 3/4 sleeves I scored at the thrift store for $20! #vintage #thrifting #thriftstore #vintagestyle

On my third or fourth attempt I finally got to see The Damnwells (with @theeisenstein even!) and I got a long overdue hang with The Lanceness. And yes, that's a paper towel set list. #damnwells #setlist

This was the day I successfully tracked down @SusannaHoffs guitar that was left in a NYC cab from my Atlanta office. I earned a personal assistant merit badge that day. It's right up there with the time I tracked down contact info for Prince. #mollymagic #dontdoubtmypowers #assistantsruntheworld

Here's to Patti, and Tina, and Yoko, Aretha, and Nona,  and Hedwig 

Goodnight to Hedwig, who ends her run on Broadway tonight. I was fortunate enough to get to see Neil Patrick Harris and John Cameron Mitchell play her during the run, and I cried both times. I’ve loved her for 15 years and really never thought I’d get to see her live in person as she was meant to be. I just wish I got the chance to see Taye Diggs play her. 

Watching this video even made me tear up. I love this song/record/show/movie/character so much... even if she is so profoundly unlikable.
