Pleet TV, Cute or On Crack?

So watch this (by clicking on the link in the above photo) and tell me: is this weird, or is this weird?

Basically, designer Samantha Pleet decided to play variety/talk show for a day, invite all her friends over, have them spout off a few non sequiturs, and after which, they then all of a sudden do some awkward posing/dancing for a few seconds while music plays.

The guests– which include chicks like Heather D’Angelo of Au Revoir Simone and Peggy Wang of Pains of Being Pure at Heart– do totally random things like pop up drunk out of a trunk, try to sing Cher, and dance around randomly– all of course, while wearing Samantha’s designs, making it a kind of whacked-out version of a lookbook. The show even has a fake laugh track playing in the background to make it sound like there’s an audience in on the madness. All of it only leads me to believe there was some substance involved in the making of this video (and I don’t mean the coffee that Samantha is holding.)

Online Shop Exposed: Bona Drag

I like to do most of my shopping online. Not because I’m a recluse. Just because I like getting things other people don’t have to make me exclusive. And the rest of the time I shop at H&M, Forever 21, and Topshop. So, yeah. There goes that little bit about being exclusive… Anyway, every time I come across a new online store, I happily bookmark it feeling like it’s ‘my little secret.’ But now I feel like being magnanimous. Sharing is caring, right?

So here’s my first reveal– Bona Drag. They carry the labels Scout, Judi Rosen, Sophomore, Obesity and Speed, Samantha Pleet, and accessory lines Bliss Lau and Pamela Love. And while recently browsing around the store for stuff I don’t need, I came across a cute little floral dress by Rachel Antonoff called “The Arfin”– which surprise surprise, I found out is named after former Missbehave editor, Lesley Arfin. Here’s the best part, though: when you order anything from Bona Drag, they send you their special mixed CD of the season, which actually has some good stuff on it (meaning, I played it a handful of times before moving on). While I’m in the spirit of generosity, I’ve gone ahead and pre-screened your purchases. You’re welcome!
