Our Tribute (With Screenshots) To Marina And The Diamonds

We love this song so much it’s ridiculous, and we love the video slightly more. We first heard Marina and the Diamonds last year—February 25, 2009, thank you very much Gmail search function—when we were working very late at the NYLON office, and our very nice editor sent it to us to cheer us up because we’d gone all the way to Rite Aid and forgotten to buy snacks. It was successful. (The cheering-up operation.) That song was not the one above: It was “Obsessions (Golden Panda Remix.” But then we saw this one, and we fell in love all over again—apparently, in both music and other things, we are quite fickle.

Here are some screenshots from the song. We put in a call with the video people to see if we could interview the stylist—wish us luck!

Seeing this makes us think of the new “net-zero climate impact” hairspray from Aveda.

This makes us think of this bright pink lipstick (specifically: Fluorescent Orange Pink from Makeup Forever.)

And this makes us think of bright red lipstick (like NARS’ Jungle Red, a semi-matte red.)

This makes us think about having a wind machine follow us everywhere we go.

This makes us think about vintage shopping until we find exactly this pink dress.
