So, I am a sucker for products with cool names, especially when those names reference things I love… And it just occurred to me that there needs to be a line of something, like Etsy nail polishes or perfumes or Adagio teas, with Velvet Goldmine inspired names. You could even make them really lawyer-friendly, like:

- Make a Wish
- Rooftop Scene
- To Change the World
- Tracy and Hepburn for the ’70s
- Camp Isn’t Just a Row of Tents (though that one, admittedly, might be a bit long)
- [You Could] Be My Main Man
- Honestly, Darling
- Mr. BBC

Seriously, that needs to be a thing right now - and I could do this all night with the quotes. That movie is one of the few that I could practically recite to myself if I ever *really* needed to see it but wasn’t equipped to do so.

It just makes me sad that practically no one but me remembers it or thinks/talks about it anymore…

(This post was partly inspired by the fact that I have been obsessing over nail polish, and loving the ones with fun names. You see a lot of fannish ones on Etsy, but I bought some Essence ones at Pharmaprix with good names, too - like Space Queen, in fact, or Modern Love Romance...)

Other, sadder news: I have literally the worst exam of my life tomorrow, for a field that I do not and have never wanted to be in, and have to get up at 5:00 am for this crap. Ugh...

Good luck with your exam! You've been studying hard for it. I'll send some good thoughts your way :)

Thanks, love!

*points to own journal subtitle* I remember it fondly and still watch it now and then!

[thegirlwiththemouseyhair]

Yeah, I loved seeing your journal title/subtitle; it reminded me that I'm not totally alone... And it could also be the name of a fandom tea or something!

Ooh, I think a line of nail polishes like that would be perfect. I love all the nail polishes in that movie, always have. And even the big companies have random themes for their collections. I recently saw one for, iirc, the show Modern Family -- if they can justify that one, they ought to be able to justify any theme for a nail polish collection. Campaign time! ;)

(And I hope your exam went well.)

That movie is absolutely flawless, in my opinion - and that includes all the makeup and costumes in it, really. The one downside is that it's not really socially/fashionably acceptable to dress all glam like that all the time, lol!

Nail polish/cosmetics in general with VG-inspired names would be awesome. I do, however, have an Adagio account and may make some tea blends using some of those quotes because I (sadly) can't make my own cosmetics...
