Caroline and Silas’ remixed album was delicious and Brian’s mojitos sounded wonderful, or something like that. The Project Parallel videos on the wall I was distracted by collages and expensive strawberry-adorned knickers. Ghettogloss is full of fun and good ideas that I’m kicking myself for not having come up with. Us foreigners come here to [...]
There was some Naughty Bodies filming going on in Echo Park recently, and all I can tell you is that it involved candy and stripping. A random neighbour across the street was invited to participate and skipped it to go and play golf — he missed out. The evening then descended into flaming margaritas, Emmy [...]
Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn’t mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar. – Edward R. Murrow
Removing clothes while hula hooping on roller skates is difficult. Luckily I have exceptionally talented friends. None of this reminded me to text the epitome of Essex girls that is Helly on her birthday, but somehow I remembered anyway. I heard some luke-warm gossip from the motherland, but she’s not replying.
Chari came back up to Echo Park from way down south to pose on the green rug at four in the morning. Whiskey Biscuit/Spindrift party at the 1269 Gallery — breaking, yelling, shirtlessness, more yelling, Indians, Englishers, people falling down on the skate ramp all night. There was a girl in a dress like mine [...]
The old one disappeared without paying rent. We live just off Sunset in Echo Park. More pix as soon as I can get them.
Pepper vodka: birthday gift to self. Honey vodka: somehow included in pepper vodka. (Whoever decided putting my two favourite things together as one is a genius and can ask me anything; I mean it, go ahead.) I feel like I’m on vacation from my vacation (I’m still on vacation after four years, right? It’s still [...]
I’m terrible at hair and make up. I never learnt to be properly girlie. So when I do randomly better than usual with mascara and lipstain and go out excited, then remember that I’m the only one who’ll get it and come home bored, I stand in front of the bathroom mirror and take a [...]
Gram Rabbit played at Spaceland on the great American festival known as Labor Day. Obviously, it involved Jesika von Rabbit wearing a fancy outfit, rabbit costumes, a woman called Poptart dancing in a bikini and a girl with amazing lipstick taking pictures. Their new album’s called RadioAngel and the RoboBeat, which makes me think I [...]
Echo Park’s burdened by heatwaves, earthquakes and not-at-all-user-friendly RAW processing programs at the moment, so sleep has been hard to come by here at Countessian Towers. Luckily we have crazy li’l Sally Fay on hand to entertain us in the midst of our insomia: PS: Lower Heaven and Waverly on Wednesday at Three of Clubs [...]
Fake Blood Femmes Fatales: Sally Fay Dalton and Dita Dimone gone wild with fake blood in Echo Park, Los Angeles. Strapless dress massacre of 2007! We decided that for one night only it was OK to smoke indoors. The fake blood got all over the green carpet and won’t come out, but was dry by [...]
