NOGOODFORME.COM: Imaginary Shopping Spree: Sublet Clothing, Orange amps, jungle quilts

Sublet Clothing are a fairly young sustainable label that make their clothes right here in NYC; the company was started by two roommates who found one another on Craigslist. Isn't that cute? I think it is. This dress is one of the highlights of their line -- it's made of super-soft organic cotton and bamboo and drapes so beautifully and with great ease. The truth is that I have a million of these type of dresses already, but that doesn't stop me from coveting this one. (Kat)

I don't play guitar. I guess I kind of play the bass guitar, but only in the same way that everybody plays the bass guitar- it's too damned easy! It's like the recorder (which I also play, just like everybody). The entirety of my bass guitar repertoire consists of "Love Me Do," "Blank Generation," and this little "lick" I made up when I was sixteen and fabulous named "X-box" because the notes are arranged in an X-like composition. Mostly, I play the piano, and I ain't no phenom. I rarely fantasize about plugging a keyboard into a guitar amp and seeing what would happen. I have no idea what would happen. I'm not some losery dude who thinks about these things all the time. I just float through writing and playing music with the nonchalance of a model-turned-actress. Really, my intense desire to accumulate every single model of Orange amplifier has very little to do with their intended function of amplifying notes. I think they are beautiful, cute, and aesthetically perfect. I'm staying in New York City this week and have visited every clothing store imaginable; I've lost all perspective on clothing and wore sweatshorts and a Neil Young t-shirt yesterday. Fashion is too hard. I just want a bunch of Orange amps that I could either go halfsies on with a sexy guitar-playing genius dude or else pile up against a wall and look at. Dead Meadow, Noel Gallagher, and Black Sabbath understand. Classic. (Laura)

I used to always want a bedroom like that scene in Mermaids when Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci and Bob Hoskins paint the walls ocean-blue and cut little sea shapes out of the lampshade so it looks like they're living underwater. Then when Joanna Newsom's Ys came out I started dreaming of carved wood deer heads and wallpaper printed with near-life-size trees. And now I'm going through a probably fleeting fascination with jungle fauna, so at the moment this quilt seems like the best thing I've ever seen. It's designed by Julia Rothman (who also does a fantastic blog called Book By Its Cover), and I discovered it at Oh Joy! (where nearly all lovely things I want to fill my apartment with are discovered). It's an odd thing to lust after right now, since I just bought new bedding last week and L.A.'s so scorchingly hot that I'm seriously considering camping out in the backyard. But I'm all about seasonally inappropriate desires, which explains why I'm also currently aching for a pair of white leather go-go boots, preferably slouchy. (Liz)

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)

Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
