74. When Alex Turner Met Alexa Chung

“My mouth hasn’t shut up about you since you kissed it. The idea that you may kiss it again is stuck in my brain, which hasn’t stopped thinking about you since, well, before any kiss.”

So begins the infamous love letter written by Alex Turner to Alexa Chung in 2008. Somehow this letter made its way online (Tumblr) and into the hearts of teenage girls forever (Kelly included). The letter has become a symbol of their love story ever since, but where did it come from? Why was it on Tumblr? Was it even real??

This week we’re revisiting the swoon-worthy romance between Alex Turner, lead singer and lyricist of Arctic Monkey and The Last Shadow Puppets, and Alexa Chung, the model/TV presenter/fashion designer/it girl. They were both English, stylish, and incredibly of their time. And nearly had the same name! Join us as we examine the lyrics, writings, photographs, and mementos of Alex & Alexa.
