I'm stupidly crazy for old movies. I (record) them so that when I'm doing my makeup in the morning, I have them on. I can be like: 'Look at Jane Russell in that shiny leopard dress - I'm copying that.'
That was it. Suddenly you hit puberty, and it's like, you know, thrift stores! I just started deconstructing everything from thrift stores.
