I recently caught 1985’s Desperately Seeking Susan<\/a> on television and was impressed by how well it held up. Seeing the movie again made me intensely nostalgic for the era’s dirtier, more creative, less fast-fashion downtown New York, which the Wall Street Journal <\/a>calls “the film’s uncredited co-star, alongside Rosanna Arquette and Madonna.” I was obsessed by that New York, though, at the time, I was still a high-school student in New Jersey, consoling myself with the New York-chic Maripolitan black rubber bangles<\/a> I’d bought from Fiorucci <\/a>with my babysitting earnings.<\/p>\n

I’m very disappointed that I can’t attend the 25th-anniversary screening of Desperately Seeking Susan at Lincoln Center<\/a> tonight due to prior commitments. I’m not as devastated as I was when I lost all my rubber bangles in a move, but I’m pretty bummed.\u00a0 Maybe you can go instead. Last time I checked the online ticket sales page, it said tickets were “temporarily unavailable” due to heavy demand but it could be up and running again now. Look for yourself here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the movie, you can meet me at hot new label AIRA<\/a>‘s first fashion show. It’s taking place at 10 PM at The Gates<\/a>. A late-night fashion presentation at a night club in an out-of-the-way neighborhood? It’s so Desperately Seeking Susan! Get your tickets here<\/a>. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
