Lady Sov looks exactly like someone, and it is driving us crazy, particularly because we can't remember if we think she looks like someone we're friends with or someone famous we've never met before. Eh. Anyway: We really like this song, and all the nu rave, and the way she totally makes fun of the magazines you'd think she'd be sucking up to. We can't remember the last time we saw a starlet mock "Vague" magazine. She's braver than we are, anyway.

Hi Bunnyshop,

Currently I am: a) dying for some new spring dresses and b) a very broke college student, so I was thinking about consigning some clothing. The stuff I want to sell, though, poses a problem of sorts…. The main issues are some Old Navy cashmere sweaters and a few pairs of designer jeans (Blue Cult and True Religion). My original instinct was to take my stuff to Beacon's Closet or Buffalo Exchange, so that I could get money/store credit immediately and leave with some funky dresses, but I was wondering if you knew of any other places in the area that would be more interested in (read: give me a decent amount of money for) my cashmere and semi-quality denim–google maps is only showing me Beacon's, Buffalo Exchange, and various "designer consignment" places whose websites mention brands far more upscale than, say, Old Navy (cashmere, though!) or Blue Cult. And, if you can't think of any, would you recommend Beacon's Closet or Buffalo Exchange? I have never tried to sell my clothing to either, so I don't know if one might be more likely to take my not-so-hip (but in great shape) clothing or possibly pay me more.

Thanks!

Ah! We have absolutely no idea. Honestly, we couldn't be more baffled, except to say that the Buffalo Exchange on Driggs in Williamsburg has some of the best used stock ever. But we're hoping someone else out there knows?

We will say this: When we're going through our old clothes, we don't usually go the consignment route—we're more about eBay or the stoop sale. Or, of course, the Bunnyshop Virtual Stoop Sale. That is where we're putting things we're not in any huge hurry to sell. (Anyone who would like to use that as their own personal selling space, just let us know—email us a photo and a description, plus the price and your PayPal payment address—all we do is post, we wash our hands entirely of the financial transactioning.) All we're saying is that one weekend we made $250 from selling Old Navy sweaters for $3 and paperbacks for $1. We are total true believers with this.

Now: Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do with retiring clothing?

So! We just woke up, and it was 5 a.m. in New Zealand (where we are) and 12 noon in New York City (where we usually are.) This is continuing to completely blow our mind. Actually, it is not even the fact, so much, that it's Tuesday where we are (okay, it is, a little)—but it's even more the fact that it's autumn here, but our head can't completely keep up with that, so we're convinced it's June. Honestly. Head. Exploding.

We're on the lookout for excellent local designers and shopping and all that—we know we have readers in NZ (which we are realizing is locally pronounced "en-zed," instead of "en-zee"—also freaking us out), so please fill us in!

We will now share the photo of us immediately before we went bungee-jumping yesterday, taken by the lovely Sam. Note the turquoise Wayfarers (which we are going to get our money out of if we have to staple them to our forehead) and our new, manky haircut. Honestly, when we were about to jump, we knew we could not die because God would not let us go with our hair this manky, manky color.

Anyway: above, our new favorite song, by Gin, who is a Kiwi singer-songwriter. We were feeling totally ahead of the curve on her, until we found her MySpace and saw the NY Post wrote about her in January. Eh, we're trying.

Suggestions, please, if anyone has some.

We have always loved makeup, we've just never been committed to it.We've never worn foundation or base or primer – we dabbled with powder in our early teens, but really, we just liked the gifts with purchase we'd get from Clinique. We've never been the type of person who looks vastly different with our without; we have one very dear friend who's been in our lives for maybe 15 years. We still do not recognize her without several layers of foundation, blue sparkly eyeshadow, and quite possibly an entire tube of mascara. We just can't commit to that type of time in the morning – we have a hard enough time brushing our teeth and washing our face.

There have been occasions, though. When we were 8, we spent an hour in the library bathroom applying layer after layer after layer of pink (yes, pink) mascara. We looked absolutely ridiculous, possibly insane, and our mother quickly escorted us out. When we were early, angsty teens – maybe 14 or 15 – we were absolutely in love with L'oreal's Rum Raisin lipstick. We would follow these steps: foundation on lips (nowhere else, mind you), lipliner (Wet and Wild 666 – we still love this), fill in lips with lipliner, powder, lipstick applied with brush, blot, powder, lipstick applied with brush, blot, very light powder. It did the trick for staying power, that's for sure. Of course, we looked like we were wearing black lipstick – and we looked damn near ridiculous – but we did our best.

Fast forward, many moons. Now we dabble in lipstick and mascara when going out out (MAC Red and Fiberwig, easy peasy), or Kiehl's lip balm when we don't. We recently fell in love with nude lips – it just seems so easy! And it doesn't require the constant attention that bright red lips can require. Er, so we thought. We spent a good amount of time at the MAC counter this weekend, trying to find the right shade that was nude, not matte, not shiny, not corpse-like, and didn't require multiple steps. The girl at the counter had the most beautiful nude lips ever – but they required an insane amount of steps. Well, three. But for us, that's just too many. We ended up with a brown/pink color called Cherish, and it's ok – but we're thinking for it to look the way we want to, we may need to reexamine this commitment issue we've got. The girl at the counter kept saying liner and gloss – we may cave and try it out.

What we want to know:  do normal people devote more time to makeup? We would like to know how much time our readers spend putting on their face, and what steps are involved – post face washing and moisturizing, what do you do?

MAC lipstick (is our favorite), $14

We feel very, Um, really okay? about all this, but we're more focused on the Is-Beyonce-fat debate. She's not, goddamn it. That is all.

So no one's going to be mistaking us for the Sartorialist anytime soon, but we didn't think we'd let that stop us from posting our favorite looks from Winter Music Conference. People just do not dress like this in NYC (at least, er, in March, unless they're in the Meatpacking District, which we swear we have not been to for five years.) Our notes: unbelievable amount of rompers, and practically every dress we saw was seriously belted (making it look like a romper.) Also: colored sunglasses, maxi dresses, big prints—honestly, we loved it. And now, our favorites.

This girl (in the jeans) was actually our favorite: love her red sunglasses, her somewhat high-waisted jeans, the paisley top. Love everything about it, actually.

Honestly. It's worse than that. But don't make the mistake we did at first, and think it'd just be sort of boring-bad. It's kind of insane-bad.
