After several years of being one of Those Girls, I retreated into reality and all the oh la la and ha cha cha I could stomach. It’s rather fun, you know. Sometimes I don’t get much of any worth done, but I’m working on that. There are some secret plans and obfuscated theories still hanging [...]
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } More from the BRMC shoot at Little Radio. The funniest part was when Christina and I stepped outside for a min and were giggling in wonderment at the melodrama and yelling that’s apparently inherent to film crews, when [...]
tangier, 1967, on countess.etsy.com There’s a story for this one. Not a story about the picture, but the other way around. It’s one of those stories I started ages ago and now can’t find, which probably means I deleted it or something. It eventually involved blue-skinned girls locked in a basement, a gruesome murder and [...]
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Black Rebel Motorcycle Club shot a video for Berlin last night at Little Radio. I wish stages were always this brightly lit. I was back next day for Summer Camp: pictures soon. Restaurant!
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } More soon, after I get back from Little Radio again. I should just move in.
Intercontinental/Los Angeles-Century City. Apparently Century City’s a magical place, according to the fabulous Brazilian who washed my feet as the helicopters circled overhead, then introduced me to colour therapy. I’d been in the steam room too long (almost impossible if you’re me) and got weird and painful stinging in my arms and legs the whole [...]
I was all excited to go to this show, but it turned out to be full of minor catastrophes including missing (what I think were probably) the best bits, developing a random toothache, losing the ability to take pictures, sobriety and then having to call a cab and pay through the nose to get home [...]
Naughty Bodies is the only workout video I recommend.
From the sleepy sleeps to the gangsta photoshoot (oh, you just wait for that one) to little radio summer camp to noodles speed reading to pop levi to editorama: yesterday hit hard. Click ‘em, kiddo.
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } E-mag hadn’t played since February and had been sorely missed. Their new stuff is wonderful and a good time was had by all, Irina included (and photographed.)
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Here’s the now-available-on-etsy, guarded-by-crows Ukrainian church, with an absurd number of ladders attached to it. I’m dizzy just looking at the picture (from The Birds to Vertigo?) PS. Blitzen Trapper‘s album, Wild Mountain Nation, is available now from [...]
(A shocking tale of crow violence in which your anti heroine gets tree bark thrown at her and emerges with a print to sell.) So, I woke up early at the weekend and went a-wandering. I wasn’t hungry yet, so I didn’t head down Sunset. Instead I ended up golden-spire–bound and marched up hills towards [...]

To Mara: Mmm, hot tub chambord’s yummy. To James: Don’t worry, I’ve never sent an inappropriate text message in my life. To Sally Fay: You are officially the best. To Dakota: Thanks for the umm compliment on my umm you know. To Brendita: Cutest girl on eight wheels. To Maria: Oh la la! Dancing queen! [...]
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } So, we skipped Little Radio Summer Camp for Sally Fay’s Hot Tub Chambord birthday extravaganza (pictures soon), but first I went a-walking and started my new Horror Garden thing.
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } On the way to Spindrift at The Standard via Ciao for butterscotch martinis, Hot Tub Champagne drove me past Disney Hall. The Baby was in the car for the first time, hence the pictures. Drive-by shooting.
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Brenda has style. I have a print to sell on etsy.

.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Little Radio Summer Camp is back for another season. Hurrah! Margaritas, bands, pools and astroturf in downtown Los Angeles.
I was worried that I was far too sleep deprived to be sociable, but it turns out they‘d been up all night too. My head felt like it was on the verge of exploding, but it got better after an emergency beer and then some vodka and to take the taste away. In other news, [...]
