Sometime before I was allowed to wear makeup I tore out an ad for eyeshadow from a magazine. It seemed so sophisticated to me. Later, when I was in my 20s, I found it and threw together a mix in response. Today, some 10-odd years later, I turn to this one when I'm feeling some New Wave-era nostalgia. It helps that my car radio still has a tape deck.
