The Intoxicating Appeal Of Older Sisters

DANIELLE PENDER & DEAN DAVIES

 

To my younger, 12-year-old self, Simone and the other older sisters of my close friends were super stars. They were untouchable, higher beings that had the knowing aura of someone who had been fingered multiple times in the deep end of the local swimming pool. Older sisters had the best music, they knew the latest dance moves first, they had long term boyfriends who sometimes stayed over and their bedrooms were like life size versions of the bag Madonna carries around in Desperately Seeking Susan—full of fluro tops, cool trinkets, bits of leather, incredible make-up, huge gold earrings and cigarettes.
