Sip & Stream: Desperately Seeking Susan + French Bloom Sparkling Wine
Dating myself so hard right now, but when I was a young girl in elementary school, Desperately Seeking Susan was one of my favorite movies. I mean, who didn’t want that punk pyramid jacket that Madonna/Rosanna Arquette was wearing in the movie? Arquette plays a bored housewife from New Jersey who becomes obsessed with a woman (Madonna), dressing like her and frequenting the same spots she goes, when eventually she becomes mistaken for the mystery woman and becomes suspect in a murder. This is the movie where Madonna debuted her song, “Into the Groove”.
Desperately Seeking Susan is currently streaming on Prime Video and The Roku Channel.
French Bloom Sparkling Wine is a great alternative if you’re looking for a refreshing drink without the alcohol. It’s perfect for your at-home Oscar parties to appeal to everyone’s taste. Made with organic alcohol-free chardonnay and pinot noir, this sparkling wine was recently the winner at the World’s Best Sparkling Wine Awards.
Happy Streaming! 🥂 📺
