Suzie and Friends (2008).

Alex Prager’s photographs make me feel like I’m staring at a deliciously campy film, on pause. The film in question was probably a Sofia Coppola remake of Valley of the Dolls; cast, wardrobe and illicit substances courtesy of Dov Charney. The vintage, neon day glow over-saturation and cinematic melodrama creates a tension between playful and eerie, making images that are at once jarring and chuckle-worthy.
