The Best Imaginary Bars Part I


With my birthday rapidly approaching I usually start to think about where I would like to go and what I would like to do. The problem is that no matter where I go it could NEVER compare to the amazing places my favorite on screen characters hang out. With this in mind, I begin the "Best Imaginary Places I can Never Go Because The Don't Exist" series. That's right. I sit around and fantasize about what it would be like to go to places that never were.
Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed of living inside of the movie Bell Book and Candle. It was one of those movies that completely captured me and I would watch it over and over again, swirling a mock tail in my living room in my best witch dress and practically aching inside because it wasn't real. I used to imagine that the Zodiac Club was a real place that I could find if I ever got the chance to wander the streets of New York. Now, almost 28 years old, and still I can think of no place I would rather spend a snowy night having a drink and listening to bongos. I've tried to make my own little Zodiac where ever I go but I see little of the likes of Kim Novak in her amazing black dress and more drunk hipsters. No comparison. Ah well maybe I'll spend this birthday in my living room watching the movie and indulging in sparkling cider.
