I can't believe the photo is <i>actually</i> from 1983 - I just assumed it was shot recently but made to look like the quintessential 80s preppy girl!

The pic of the girl was taken in 1983, she is unkown - but apparently lives in Malibu - they chose the photo b/c of her ambiquous vacant look. it's brought up tons of questions that are so interesting, like - did polo sponsor this? it's fascinating that people are so struck with immediate assumptions based on a photo. love this "The image of a blonde, white girl in a Ralph Lauren polo shirt fits the bourgeoise aesthetic of the band and is intended to represent the social and cultural conflict at the heart of the album"<br /><br />xoSarah Engelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05972030679530783615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001584622466231099.post-31296246160251110372010-01-20T12:49:04.606-05:002010-01-20T12:49:04.606-05:00I actually just posted about how obsessed I am wit...I actually just posted about how obsessed I am with VW and Contra too!

So now I'm dying to know: what's the story about the photo?? :)Rachelhttp://sea-life-style.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
