iron photographer : egglove

This photograph was brought to you by Dayquil, Nyquil, Xanax, too much liquor, stolen beer, flirting in Spanish, The Torch of King Smartypants and lipstick so strange it made lovely girls look bad. I’m going back to bed now.

dear bus: our love affair’s getting tired

[This is in response to Malingering's Dear Bus: I Quit post.] I moved to Los Angeles four and a half years ago and don’t know how to drive. I’m on the bus for at least three hours every week day, and I think I’ve just grown used to it (my commute in London was a [...]

little radio christmas party, starring dead meadow

This photograph was taken by Sally Fay Dalton, using a Polaroid camera that we found attached to a pair of handcuffs. We came across the handcuff-cam when we were forced to clear the blue room of a former housemate’s belongings after he disappeared without paying rent. Well, he left fake cheques to pay for rent, [...]

repeal day

Dewar’s reminded us to celebrate the anniversary of Repeal Day yesterday — a strange party choice for a new non-drinker, perhaps, but the 1930s dress code was too enticing to pass up. Baby Girl let me taste all her cocktails, and Baby Dalton lent me a dollar to tip for my soda. They were the [...]
