And even though this band is totally not made up of Virgins,

you gotta love ‘em.

It’s Wednesday so why not spend the morning listening to

Rich Girls- The Virgins

As a total 90′s kid growing up listening to No Doubt and watching Gwen’s hair change with her every mood was pure awesomness,  we all know we loved her “kicking down doors” attitude and 20′s housewife inspired hair twists.

VAMPIRE WEEKEND- Total prepsters, how could they not be after all they did attend Columbia University. Button ups, cardigans, oxfords, scruff, and scarves.

THE STROKES- Only the best thing to ever hit your cute little ears! Last Night, Is This it, Someday, just makes you want to party your youth away. These guys are somewhat on the grungy side, and probably the only guys to make jean jackets look as good as they do on a male.

FRANZ FERDINAND-  Oxfords, blazzer jackets, ties, and button up shirts, some what British looking?… how would you not want one of these boys by your side.

THE CURE- Maybe their style is a bit on the scary side, but just like their sweet tunes, I dig the all black, serious stares, huge Doc Marten looking boots, and messy hair.

Last week was so crazy I can’t believe I’m not still hungover. First, one of my homegirls and I went to see Iggy Pop and The Virgins perform at the Ray Ban party, very appropriately held in Williamsburg. One of our models, Jacob, got this great close up of Iggs. Keep reading…

Unfortunately my photography skills were not as good. Case in point, exhibit B.

Nonetheless the show was pretty bad ass, (duh), although I was puzzled as to why the lead singer of The Virgins was dressed like a mime. Kind of hard to take him seriously singing about chicks when he’s dressed like the French version of a clown.

Of course the requisite celebs/chronic partiers showed up, Kate Bosworth, Waris, Chloe Sevigny, Kelly Osbourne, Juliette Lewis, Jessica Stam, Charlotte Ronson, and my bff famed rock photog Mick Rock (photo of me and Mick).

What’s interesting is that this season Ray Ban is using not models but musicians for its latest campaign. And not just any musicians, but specifically indie rockers such as like The Plastiscines, Free Energy, and We Are Scientists. If the previews they had displayed are any indication of what’s to come, Ray Ban has totally just upped it’s cool factor.

The Virgins are New York City’s next official homeboys. Gone are the days where you saw little humble performances at Piano’s or quaint friends & family style shows at Thompkins Square Park on a sticky summer day. Ahhh, the good ol days. The secret got out when the TV show Gossip Girl played 4 songs (yes 4 songs) in one episode. The placement launched furious chatboard threads on YouTube with cute young girls begging to know — “who the hell are these guys!?”

About 2 weeks ago, Kai dragged the band to Lit in the East Village to shoot their video for “Rich Girl”, a local sing-a-long anthem of downtown New York for over a year now — due to their early EP sold at the early shows. The sultry siren protagonist, Behati, acts out the narrative, short and sweet — wild girl corrupts boys in a bar. These are sneak peek pics before the video drops later this summer.

The Virgins are finally off to the races — finally on the big tour to promote their first body of work released on Atlantic Records this June 3rd. We wish them the best. Go forth and kick ass.
