I am alive. I promise. If only barely. I have been upping the intensity of my new cycling to work routine which has left me battered of body and face... seriously, have got an insatiable family of chinstrap acne that, like a rapper's girlfriend's booty, JUST WON'T QUIT!
Anyways... these past few weeks... months?!?!... have been emotionally exhausting as well... every dramz, you name it, I gots it. Family dramz? Check. Medical dramz? Check! Dramz dramz? Check check!
But I am somehow making it out.... slowly...
PROOF!
Girls' night out at Street Feast, followed by an impossibly delicious dinner at White Rabbit in Dalston, where some squinty posh chap let us know that we are cute but "not that hot"... ahhhh. Bless dem beautiful squinty, marble mouthed tw@ts...
If you look close you can see my latest Tatty Devine acquisition... the BURGER NECKLACE! Thinking some tasteful nudes with nothing but the burger are in order... wazzah.
I also stumbled across this pic of The Cr3w while at home in LA showing off my London friends to my mommy... We are forming a LDN bike gang if anyone wants in on that! Yeah, we gon' get jackets.
Oh yes, did I not mention I have been in LA for a while?!?! No? Is that because I was having such an amazing time I forgot that everything else in the world existed? No! But close...
Not only did we do LA, we also did San Diego and Las Vegas!
We stayed at the Lafayette Hotel in San Diego and absolutely loved it... possibly more on that later!
But here is the pool where we spent 1 week of our lives when we were not eat, eat, eating! This was a particularly overcast moment... I assure you I came back peely and burneded.
Another highlight... when in LA we went to the Wild Records Yound N Wild Weekender! I finally got to see the Delta Bombers!!! And I 'sploded straight from yippy fangirl to hard core humina humina groupie. It gave me feeelings. I also caught a bit of Mary Simich of Wacky Tacky fame! But did not spot Mr. Tiny himself... Bummer! I also got to see Doris MayDay! Both at the PUG boutique and at the show... STALKER ALERT. Jooooookes. Also caught Omar and The Stringpoppers and Gizelle... Let's say I was not overly thrilled that Ms. Gizelle gave the mister the ol' humina huminasssss. Uncool! :)
handsome bastards.... The Delta Bombers!
View from our ace suite at the Tropicana... seriously the revamp they did is so ace even though I am a Tropicana purist... Highly recommended...
And lastly, the only real reason to go to LA... a King's Hawaiian cake!
And eat it we did.... mostly between the hours of 4 and 6am LA time....
Some more posts soon!
Thanks for checking in!
Oh rats!!! I didn't make it to the weekender (I can see Mary any old time) but I might have altered my plans if I knew a pal was going to be there! I'm so glad that you had a good time here but I wish that we could have met up. Hopefully music will have us traveling to your side of the Atlantic before too long. "Rapper's girlfriend's booty..." Hahahahaha!!!
ReplyDeleteYea! I didn't know how forward I could be but in my heart of little hearts I was hoping for a run-in... I may or may not played out the different scenarios of how it would go... something like..."Oh dear, gigi, you DO have a body by burger!" haha. Well when you all make it out here to London, I am sure you have many adoring fans, but I reckon we could show you a good time. Maybe you will be in time for one of our housies... we are thinking the next theme will be Mo-train (soultrain + motown) or 60s sicilian murder mystery!
DeleteI just saw the Delta Bombers a few weekends ago when they opened for Wanda Jackson and The Reverend!
ReplyDeleteOh dearie me - HOW WAS IT? When I heard about that show my heart sank worse than it ever has... I love London - but dang we miss out on some damn things.... :(
