"Oh you don't have to say you love me,"
Suzie Malone is not so much a creature of routine, as she is one of habit. Good or bad, she has a tendency to go through life on a sort of automatic. And one of those habits is a tendency to leave all her laundry until she only has one outfit she can possibly wear.
Short Pajama shorts: (black; part of a set) £10 from Matalan
T Shirt: (faded black, torn, cracked up legend Barbie is a Slut): £25 from Camden market, 5 years ago
Additions to T-Shirt: Eyelets £4.50 from craft store, saftey pins £1.50 from same."And you don't have to save any tears"
Cleaning is not a habit, it's a chore. But it's also one she has to do, partly because the hair that coats the flat almost permenently is all hers, partly because her flatmate is much happier to let the stuff build up than she is, but mostly because there's nothing else to do on a hungover Saturday.
Guns N Roses Bandana(to keep hair out of the face): £2.50 from E-Bay
Flip Flops: (for walking across freshly bleached floors) free with womans magazine 2 years ago."No, you don't have to say you love me, baby"
So, in her last set of clean clothes, while the leech is (literally) dead to the world, Suzie turns the stereo up to full volume and dances around the flat like a Disney Princess. If there were a Disney Princess who belted out 80s pop songs while sporting a long black wolf tail out of her tiny little shorts.
IPod: £350 from PC World
iPod speakers: £20 from Amazon.co.uk"It's alrii--iiight,"
Remember what I said about a creature of habit? That includes the way she dances into the cupboard where the hoovers kept, eyes shut right now, bum (and tail) wiggling backwards to push the door open, and hand strecthing just that bit further than looks easy, to close over the handle of that appliance.
"'cause honey I don't ca--aaaa-- Oh."
Not realising your cupboards not your cupboard until you've danced straight into it, tail, bad karaoke and all: PRICELESS
