That time Katy Perry went full Catwoman while hawking her own brand of Purrfume. Obviously, we love cats here at the Starfire Lounge. We used to have one, sadly she passed a few years ago, but the kids are clamoring for another, so I foresee another feline friend in our future. Of course, here at … Continue reading The Art of the Ad: Purr by Katy Perry

Random Image Dump #13
More randomness for your viewing pleasure. For this lucky 13th post in the series, I’ve selected 13 black and white photos. Black and white always conveys a certain vintage appeal, while also feeling utterly timeless. Susanna Hoffs: Huge crush. I repeat: HUGE. Writer Alan Moore and artist Bill Sienkiewicz: comic book royalty. Maria always got … Continue reading Random Image Dump #13
Calendar Girl: Julie London for September
Seemingly sung during springtime (“Though spring is here/To me it’s still September”), “September in the Rain” finds Julie waxing nostalgic for that time of year when, “To every word of love I heard you whisper/The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain.” Bonus Julie London album cover because, why not? As always, the sweetest refrain … Continue reading Calendar Girl: Julie London for September
Pop Crush: Katy Perry
I have a confession to make. I am a closeted Katy Perry fan. Well, closeted no more, I guess. In real life (IRL as Katy’s younger fans would write), I’ve made it known to friends that I like her music, but I’m positive I haven’t written about it here (or anywhere) before. Look, I don’t … Continue reading Pop Crush: Katy Perry

Calendar Girl: Julie London for July
July is known for its scorching temperatures, so it’s only fitting Julie London brings the heat with her smokey vocals on “Sleigh Ride in July.” Not sure why she’s sleigh riding in July, but I’d listen to her sing about making hot apple cider in the middle of a heatwave, so who cares? I found … Continue reading Calendar Girl: Julie London for July
Random Image Dump #9: Bella Donna Edition
It’s time for another not-so-random Random Image Dump, and I guess my Italian heritage is shining through today. Not only that, but June 2 was Festa della Reppublica, the annual commemoration of post-fascism, universal suffrage Italy, since 1946. Appropriately then, this outing is all about celebrating something else uniquely Italian: famous Italian bella donnas. Here’s … Continue reading Random Image Dump #9: Bella Donna Edition
