Where do you guys live?

Georgia and Alie both reside in Los Angeles, in Hollywood and Echo Park respectively. Georgia is a native Angeleno (with a boring childhood spent in Orange County), while Alie is a transplant from San Francisco and still cowers from year-round sunshine.

Of all that Los Angeles has to offer, Georgia names taco trucks, kitschy movies at the New Beverly Theater, and The 99 Cents Only store as her favorite attractions. Alie loves hikes in Griffith Park, strolls through the halls of Natural History Museum and late Sunday brunch at Auntie Em’s in Eagle Rock. They are both very fond of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and the chicken pot pie next door at Birds.

How did you two meet?

The first time Alie and Georgia met, via friends in the band Giant Drag (hi Micah and Annie!), Georgia was squatting in a bush outside a dive bar, peeing (true story). They became fast friends, and during periods of singlehood the two refer to each other as their “husband.” Their friendship is founded on a love of pwning food into their faceholes, a sense of humor on par with 12-year-old-boys and a tendency to watch out for each other in the giant sprawl of Los Angeles.

So wait, are you lesbians?

Nope. We are both straight and unattached thankyouverymuch. In terms of dating, Georgia swoons over burly types with facial hair and a penchant for cooking and building stuff, while Alie has an eye for jocular artsy types with overladen bookshelves. Alie considers mustaches to be a dealbreaker (in most cases), while Georgia could never date a guy who didn’t love her cat, Elvis.

Are you imitating the aesthetic of ‘Mad Men’ or is that really your style?

Georgia and Alie have both been foraging in thrift stores for cute vintage finds since their adolescence, and resent the notion that they are biting the style of a television show, even if it is on cable. Georgia drools over anything with ruffles or superfluous buttons and describes her aesthetic as “demure and stylish with a hint of elderly woman.” Alie is fond of knee socks, high heels and anything with black and white stripes. They could go as Daria and Jane for Halloween without much need for preparation. (Alie is Daria, Georgia is Jane. They’re still casting for Trent.)

Who directs your videos?

The amazing, talented, funny, sweet, etc., Peter Atencio directed both the McNuggetini and The Bloody Bacon & Cheese videos. He has been indispensable in terms of his ideas, style, and experience, and you can find his website here. Georgia and Alie owe him several batches of cookies, which is not a metaphor for anything untoward, despite our living in Hollywood.

Georgia’s older sister, Leah Hardstark, shot and directed the Ham Daiquiri video. She is a professional photographer, who also photographed the orignial McNuggetini shoot. To check out her work, click here.

Will you hang out with me?

Sure. You buying?

Where can I harmlessly stalk/find out more about you?

Georgia blogs here, and Alie writes full-time for the LA Times and owns a small company called Curiology. We’re also on Flickr and Facebook, but so is your mom.
