    Night Is Short, Walk On Girl

    I would really like to go a cocktail place now. After the theatre. Sat barside. Something sour and icy. Luxurious and abundant. I want to be reading a used book. I want the music soft. It’s so revitalising!!! A vivacious, glimmering movie. Needed. To savour a cold beer on a long, wonderful night.

I loved it because she wears gorgeous outfits, even if she has to sell them, and all the women in this movie are fresh and beautiful and love house music, and Mary really does try to be sweet. It is a little 1995 though. Movies…
