I don't do drugs; I let music and fashion turn me into an insane person bursting with mind boggling melancholy or exuberant joy. Both do very powerful things to my psyche. A good dress and/or song can frame up a kick-ass state of mind fairly quickly. Hell yes, I raise my left hand when Beyonce's "All the Single Ladies" comes on...
Melody Gardot is my new favorite drug. Her rich sultry voice sends chills down my spine. I listen to her second album, My One and Only Thrill, constantly. First heard on Ann Delisi's Essential Music, I learned that Gardot was hit by a car while bike riding when she was 18, leaving her badly injured. After a long, painful recovery, she still suffers eye problems and has to wear sunglasses most of the time.
Her look is as sexy and sultry as her voice. Word on the street is that she's a big fan of Alber Elbaz at Lanvin. Makes sense. She is certainly rocking a vintage, understated glam look.
