Sunshine! There’s limitless magic to be had. It’s roof down on my electric-blue classic car and Betty Davis music booming (an incredible funk artist mostly known for being married to Miles Davis, but a phenomenon in her own right). I want to drive along country lanes, find rivers to jump in and grassy patches to eat watermelon in. I blooming love you, summer. I love how you make my bones warm and happy; how you make me want to catch dandelion heads and blow them with wishes of freedom. I want to lie with my eyes closed and feel like everything’s gonna be better than all right. I want to wear things that waft and sway.
Under giant sunglasses, my eyes will be painted with Urban Decay’s Razor Sharp Water Resistant Longwear liquid eyeliner. It comes in shiny colours. My fave is Fireball, a peachy, pinky orange. But there’s also Intergalatic, a shimmery candyfloss, and a pale turquoise called Deep End.
Truth is, I don’t have a classic car and I am learning to drive. But summer makes my imagination run wild and you can’t stop me framing my hopeful eyes in glitz.
