I say…I have fond memories of both decades. For the 80s and the majority of the 90s I was in school, and certainly had my share of fashion dos and don’ts. Sure I’m prepared to revisit some of those styles, cause now I have the advantage of hindsight. And really, aside from fashion, when do you get the chance to relive a certain era over and over again, but this time do it better?

That being said, the only place I ever want to see flannel again is on my winter bedsheets and/or pyjamas. But I still like plaid.

Last Wednesday I went to see Coldplay and realized that I have come to take them for granted. Bad me. I wasn’t planning to go to the show. I’ve been lucky enough to see them a couple times and also, whenever I listen to them I get sad! Rush Of Blood is one of my favourite records from last year, but as I’ve whined before, the sad songs are so good that I can barely listen to them without bursting into tears. I know, such dramatics. It’s pathetic, really. But one of my Coldplay-obsessed friends managed to score a pair of tickets through her boss and kindly invited me along! So I went, prepared to bawl at the first strains of The Scientist. Surprisingly, I didn’t! The show was fantastic. Chris Martin is an amazing front man. After the show I couldn’t believe that I had ever questioned going in the first place. I’m clearly a big loser.

Ozzfest was that same night and you were there, Nicole, weren’t you? Got any good stories?

Have you seen Secretary? I just saw it last night. Maggie Gyllenhaal was so great in this movie. This may be the best brother-sister acting duo ever. I didn’t think it was possible, but they have Jon & Joan Cusack beat hands-down. Justine and Jason Bateman never even had a chance…
