This fall, the one thing I absolutely, positively cannot live without is...
"Repeated viewings of Beetlejuice. Winona Ryder is my spirit animal."

Latest guilty pleasure...
"Reality television, hands down. Personal favorites include Jersey Shore, Toddlers & Tiaras (Team Mackenzie), and Real Housewives of New Jersey."

The one song I can listen to over and over...and over to is...
"'Dazzle' by Siouxsie and the Banshees. It's at once epic and moody, dark but danceable. But if (somehow) this song doesn't do it for you—this video should, because Siouxsie is a goddess. (Also any song ever recorded and released by Kate Bush could go on this list.)"

My must-have cheap thrill...
"Buying drugstore makeup. It's gotten to the point where I get a little antsy when I drive by a CVS or Rite Aid. I can never say no to lipstains (most recently: New York Color—surprisingly good quality) or nail polish (most recently: Revlon.) Oh, and Teen Vogue. Always Teen Vogue."
