From Los Angeles

Weetzie Bat as imagined by
Wildfox.
What Would Weetzie Want?
Francesca Lia Block's early '90s series of young adult novels, Dangerous Angels, are unforgettable. With a dreamy Los Angeles landscape and a cast of characters with names such as Weetzie Bat, Witch Baby and My Secret Agent Lover Man, Block plunged her readers into a world that tread a smokey line between reality and fairytale.

Weetzie as imagined by Autumn De Wilde and Shirley Kurata for
Paper Magazine.
Weetzie Bat was a punk pixie who believed in wishing on pink cars, slam dancing in mosh pits, wearing whatever she wanted, and supporting her best friend Dirk no matter what. Here's what we think Weetzie would wish for this December—in addition to My Secret Agent Lover Man, of course.
A perfect place to keep the keys to Grandma Fifi's cottage.
Rose-colored glasses, for seeing the world through...
Weetzie was both a wild fox and a little lamb.
Fancy dresses best accessorized with a rubber chicken.
Comfy creepers are a must for a night of slam-dancing, otherwise you'll never make it to Oki-Dogs afterwards.
Rubber chicken! Slinkster cool.
And for those, like us, who wish that there were an infinite number of Weetzie Bat books, Block's Weetzie prequel,
Pink Smog, comes out in January! Lanky Lizards!
