People I'm Fascinated With, Part One: Amanda Blank
Amanda Blank is just plain god-damned hot (in a non-lesbian way.) She reminds me of better days when I didn't mind coming down or hanging over... and I could get out of work the next day because when I smiled my whole face lit up and it came across as decadent and cheeky, like I was having a better time than anyone else and nobody could stop that!
I don't really like hip-hop anymore but when this girl raps you first think she is black. Then you think about doing naughty things. Then you wish you were younger again and could get away with simply being precocious and taking the piss out of things, like 80's fashion, that you are too young to remember the first time round!
Oh, and her boyfriend's Spankrock. Her real name is Amanda Mallory. She likes to wear white jeans. She is also in a really gay band called Sweatheart, and it sort of shows off the feather-brained drug-taking side a little too much, which makes me feel better, sort of. And she has cool friends like Diplo and MIA, but I feel too long in the tooth to be admitting I know this.
Anyway, I wish I were as hot as Amanda Blank.
