Paying tribute to classic Americana, this exclusive editorial celebrates long nights in motels fueled by cheap beer, pizza, and poor decisions under the humming neon lights. After all, the higher the hair, the closer to God. Cinematic and sexy yet still gully chic, our fallen heroine makes the best of her circumstances, getting into a bit of debauchery in the middle of Nowhere, USA.
