"She refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring"
- Zelda Fitzgerald
Bruce Weber: Being Boring (Pet Shop Boys), 1990
Chris Lowe just said “I wanted it to be sexy—he laughed at that!” and Neil Tennant told him about the Zelda Fitzgerald quote that had inspired him. It was filmed in one day at the beginning of October in a house in Long Island, just outside New York; Bruce Weber chose Long Island because of its associations with Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Bruce Weber had explained his idea of a wonderful party: he said he didn’t want it to be street because he looked at MTV and everything was street and he thought it was corny. He wanted it to be like this beautiful fantasy. When the Pet Shop Boys turned up they felt quite intimidated, all these beautiful people running around in towels. (The cast were people Bruce Weber was friends with, or knew the girlfriends or boyfriends of, or had photographed before. They included Neneh Cherry’s half-brother, ex-TV presenter Eagle Eye, and Robert De Niro’s daughter).

"Thanks for the Memory" : )
I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties
Dress in white one said, with quotations
From someones wife, a famous writer
In the nineteen-twenties
When you're young you find inspiration
In anyone who's ever gone
And opened up a closing door
She said: we were never feeling bored
