July 2009 ARCHIVE:
Ask Sue! July 09







Books, movies, music... Everyone has classic favorites that will always be at the top of the list, and Susanna's no exception. But starting this month*, Sue gives Banglesfans a peek into what's currently hot in the Hoffs household, with an of-the-moment report on everything from the books resting on her bedside table to the films, fiction, people, and places that she can't get enough of right now!



THESE ARE A FEW OF SUE'S FAVORITE (SUMMERTIME) THINGS... 

What was the most recent movie you saw in a theater?
A very cool film called, Away We Go, directed by Sam Mendes


What song is stuck in your head these days?
"
Someday, Someway " by Marshall Crenshaw 

 

What's your favorite wine for a summer evening?
La Crema 2006 Chardonnay 

What book are you reading right now? 
I just finished an amazing book called
Election by Tom Perotta...

Who would you love to take to lunch this week?
Matthew Sweet!

What's your current favorite TV show? 
Mad Men. The show's creator, Matt Weiner, is a genius. Mad Men takes me back in time and turns my blurry early childhood memories into Eastman Kodak color. I love all the things the characters say and all the space left for the things they don't. Don Draper is a perfect anti-hero, and he is so good when he is bad. The mix of depravity and innocence of the early '60s is perfectly realized.

Favorite current fashion trend?
Wedge sandals

What perfume are you wearing? 
Orange Blossom Cologne by Jo Malone

Favorite summertime snack?
Blueberries

What's your favorite summer flower?
Sunflowers!

If you could instantly transport yourself to any place in the world right this moment, where would it be?
Sitting on a beach at sunset on a tropical island...



...and speaking of beaches - here's some great-behind-the-scenes snaps from the Bangles' 2008 Australia tour!...
