Because I had a bit of a rough start yesterday morning, my first day of 2012 turned out to be a lot more relaxed than I anticipated. I ended up spending some time with an old friend yesterday afternoon … because the 1985 Madonna film Desperately Seeking Susan was on cable. To be honest, I think I’ve only seen the film once or twice since it was originally released 27 years ago (!!!) so it was nice taking a trip back in time to remember the good ol’ days.

It’s crazy how iconic Madonna looks in this film. I mean, all the clichés we know about her stem from EVERYTHING about Desperately Seeking Susan. From Madonna‘s look, to her attitude to the music of the film, the Madonna who became a legend was really introduced to the world on a large scale in this film. Desperately is, in all honesty, a terrible film … but its true importance is as a time capsule from the 80s. Man, 85 … a lifetime ago.
David and I did manage to get out of the house last night … we went out for a fun pizza dinner:

Which means I’ve already had 2 pizzas in 2012 already ;) Good times. I think we’re gonna try and hang out with Darion tonight … since we haven’t seen him since last year. It’s about time, I think. Happy Monday … Happy First Week of the New Year!!





























Lies Trent lies! It’s an awesome film! I need a pizza for 2012 I think it’s a must.
OMG I watched Desperately Seeking Susan yesterday too in a hungover, tired stupor!! I have always loved this move and really how adorable was Aidan Quinn back in the day?? :)
Happy 2012 Trent. Now I need to run out and get some pizza – that looks too damn good!!!
It is in no way a terrible film!!!!
this is a great film…you must have lost some brain cells from partying the new before
love that film. i grew up in nyc and it is 1985 forever, caught in all it’s glory. <3 madonna, aiden & rosanna!
