I’m new at high school, but I’ve made one really cool friend so far: Cher Horowitz. She’s, like, super pretty and stuff. She doesn’t date high school boys. We worked out last weekend, but my buns don’t feel nothin’ like steel (yet). She’s going to take me to the mall to get new clothes today. I’m going to be so popular!

Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

Log in to replyNot gonna lie, this is the perfect music for a saturday of intense procrastination after a night of intense cuddling with a potential new lovah. Hell yeah.
Log in to replyI just love Clueless so much! But hey, you should have also used the word ‘sporadically’ ;)

Log in to replyTHE LIKE. Yesssss…
My roommate told me yesterday she has never seen Clueless. I don’t know how we’re friends.
Log in to replycher is my spirit animal! this is so perfect!!!!!
Log in to replyClueless makes me so happy! It’s probably the movie I’ve watched the most times and it was the film that consoled me after the first time I failed my driving test. Plus, the music is amazing. My boyfriend loves 90s punk bands (seeing as he was in one, in the 90s … he’s a little older than me) and an in-depth knowledge of the Clueless soundtrack totally managed to make me sound like I knew what was going on (and introduced me to some great stuff!).
Log in to replylove how you added the Cranberries in there for a little allusion
Log in to replyyeuh nothing beats clueless! also girls just want to have fun is a great addition to this. I saw them do this cover live and they dedicated it to josh’s mom and her book club who were partying in the back of the rowdy, sweaty young adult audience….
Log in to replyAlmost forgot how beautiful Cher was,the playlist definitely suits her ;)
Log in to replyomg i’m totally buggin!
Log in to replyalso this was put on instant netflix this week and my friends and I have already watched it twice.

Log in to replySo, it’s the weekend, so I had to comment on this post, because I can’t wait till monday to gush!! I just got my Rookie Yearbook One this morning, and it is seriously the most amazing thing ever. Seriously. I have no words.
Log in to replyomg perfect perfect perfect!!!!!!!!!
Log in to replyAHHH CHER!!! I’m so happy right now.
Log in to replyAfter the last line, I thought this might be on the list but alas… NADA :D

Log in to replyThis made me so happy, thanks Hazel!
Log in to replyI love this! Probably one of my favourite playlists. Love Clueless!
Log in to replyToday I got my Rookie yearbook and saw MY STREET HARASSMENT STORY PRINTED IN ITS PAGES.
And I cried.
Log in to replyAwwww, caro!!!!!
Log in to replyI would hang out with Cher (given the opportunity) purely to run away with her advanced wardrobe planning software
Log in to replyLove it! It’s too bad you left off “Kids in America” by the Muffs, it’s my go to song when I think of Clueless. It’s a great movie, it’s too bad I recently had to explain that Clueless was the Mean Girls of the 90′s to teenagers though…
Log in to replyI love this version of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun even more than the original!
Log in to replyI LOVE how I always have at least one/two (He’s Not a Boy- The Like and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun- STRFKR) songs from EVERY playlist! The Friday Playlists are my favorite!
Log in to replyI j’love Rookie’s music coverage. It, pardon the Paul Klee-shay, rocks it. J’adore plus deep knowledge = me licking the musical plate clean. This, and the other playlists, have all the musical Omega 3s, flax seed, probiotic and vitamin complexes a manly girl like me needs to grow up into a healthy, vibrant efficient afficionado of the various musical realnesses. I’m sensing a new award, half CFDA. half (Lily) Pulitzer. Love you, mean it. kewl boi.
Log in to replyCLUELESS. YES. THE LIKE. DOUBLE YES.
Log in to reply“I was surfin’ the red tide, so I had to haul ass to the ladie’s.” One day, I will find the courage to use this as an excuse for being late. One day.
Log in to replyOoh how I love clueless! I saw a girl at my school who looks just like cher and I freaked! I stopped her and asked if I could take a picture with her. She just looked at me and walked away.
Log in to replyMy uncle introduced me the fabulous song “I’m gonna be a supermodel” and I haven’t heard it since last year until today and I just wanna dance oh god, it’s such a perfect song!
