rachel’s legs! sally’s shoes! other rachel’s picture!
There is no “countess” in TEAM. Rachel is an astounding model.
the latest addition to the photogenic punk rock wondergirls of doom gang
Yesterday we recruited Rachel (the other Rachel, except that I’m officially Other Rachel) to the gang. Who will be next? If you didn’t yet watch the video in the post from yesterday, hopefully this picture will convince you:
hot rooftop ninja girls in mini dresses! ocha la rocha little joy dance party! moving pictures!
Highly exclusive, top-secret, behind-the-scenes look at life in Studio Eliza Fay (pictures soon): Infamous Ocha la Rocha-Little Joy dance party of 2007:
over exposed
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } It’s a really bad picture, but it’s alarmingly popular on Flickr. Hot girls in their underwear beat everything else, even when the highlights are blown and the lighting’s stupidly awful.
dress-up party
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } The Photogenic Punk Rock Wondergirls (of Doom!) were in action at the weekend. We had natural light, dying batteries and a stack of Jesse’s clothes for eBay. Sally Fay and Brenda ran up and down the stairs at [...]
whiskey drinkers
Ocha la Rocha knocked back some whiskey and started a dance party at Little Joy the other night. It made me start looking forward to heading for the desert this summer. I love living in a neighbourhood where not only do these things happen on a semi-regular basis across the street and thereabouts, but where [...]
photogenic punk rock wondergirls (of doom!)
I gots me some muses.
irina and noni are famous!
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } My picture of Irina and Noni at Caroline’s birthday party was hand picked for the front page of Utata.org, one of my favourite websites. It’s tremendously exciting in general, of course, but the best part is that the [...]
brenda’s orange wall
If you’re wondering why I haven’t got through the Prague and Krakow pictures yet, it’s because I keep going to parties instead of shutting myself in with my laptop. Caroline’s “dress as a rock star” birthday party was fabulous (photos to come soon, blah blah) but Brenda’s orange wall made my night.
smoke vs the green wall
God only knows what Irina’s looking at in this picture, but Christina’s party for Marcos’ birthday was lots of fun, anyway. More pictures soon! I have a huge backlog. I’m still in Prague, photographically.
joyless
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } I never seem to pay for any drinks, and I never need a ride home. Thank God for LJ.
your new favourite band
Tiger and Saxon rocked Tommy‘s birthday party at the weekend. It was nice to see a well-lit drummer for once.
dressy
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } When one’s friend announces a psychadelic Art Deco wedding, it’s worth investing in 70-year-old evening gowns. [This one's on etsy at the moment.]
the city burns
Sally and I were watching the fire for hours last night. The flames came up over a ridge on both sides a house perched at the top with all its lights blaring, but never reached the building itself. A little patch to the right kept catching alight but then going out — the New York [...]
la familie mehlschmidt had good taste in typography
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } The Olšanské hřbitovy is enormous and entirely photogenic. It’s a good thing I wasn’t left to my own devices, cuz I’d probably still be there now, a month later.
dollhouse
There was a cross-dressing party at the Purple Cake House. Some people were quite thorough in their styling.
for the queen, part two: from “amelia” to “billy”
(The part where Viggo Mortensen turns into Jack Kerouac is so great that we laughed all the way through Johnny Cash.) Amelia, Able Tasmans Ando Meio Desligado , Os Mutantes Autumn Sweater, Yo La Tengo Ave Lucifer, Os Mutantes Avenue B, Gogol Bordello Babe, You Turn Me On, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Baby [...]
bite me
Last night’s dinner at The Stinking Rose in Beverly Hills was over-the-top delicious. I ate so much food I fell asleep immediately on arriving home, and so much garlic I had utterly bizarre and alarmingly violent dreams. Is this adverse effect common, or am I just genetically wired to react oddly to garlic? My great-great [...]
an old one
I took it at an ill-fated wedding, but don’t let that put you off. The bride now has a restraining order on the the groom, who’s in jail, apparently. The man in the white hat is the former friend of my former boyfriend. On all counts, in the end the photographs really do last longer.
