THRIFT STORE

Because I'm lazy, I've only just unpacked from LA/MEX/NY and I bought so much stuff i forgot about some of it!!! This is probably one of the best things I bought in LA. Its a suede, leopard print bustier. Errrr HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!?!? Soooo amazing!! Fits like a dream, 15 bucks. The thrift stores in La are insanely cheap. Expect more pics of my fave finds over the next few weeks...

As those of you in London may have come to realise, Work It is the best party in East London right now. I'm DJing at the carnival afterparty next week. Pass by and make a request!!

EAT FRUIT

OUR NEW BOYFRIEND

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

At the moment I am

looking like a Mexican (or at least trying to)
reading Thus Spake Zarathustra, Nietzsche
missing my flat
listening to the amazing girl cassette tapes I got from Ogga Booga (see below)
drinking water water water in the blistering LA heat
watching You Werent There, a punk film, at Cinefamily
smelling of Hawaiian Tropics tan oil spray
eating Mexican food and Wholefoods
dreaming of nuts
wearing floral dresses and lots of denim
walking in white socks and black Vans all day every day
singing Jewish tunes
trying to get healthy in Venice Beach
wanting to keep my amazing tan

HOLLYWOOD

LOS ANGGEEELLLESSSS

Hola!!! Sorry I've been away. I've been manic. I'm now in LA but the week before I left I suddenly got tons of work so by the time I actually came to go on holiday I felt I needed it!! We've been here since Tuesday. Meghans just arrived yay!! I've left my camera at Texan Alex's so no party pics just yet. HOWEVER!!! What i DO have is the best goodies ever from a super cool store called Oogie Boogie that we visited in Chinatwon today. Flo used to work there when she lived in LA and I spent so much money, mainly on things for other people...My ultimate buy was these 4 cassette tapes made by Calvin Johnson. I wanted more but they were $10 each and I'd already picked up a ton on fanzines! Sooooooo obviously I stuck to the girl shit!!! Heres what I got!
