Secret Music: Laura Marling is my soulmate....

Let me just say that I prepped for this in the strangest of ways... pretending that Laura's sister wasn't temping for us... But she was! And she looks like her and sounds like her... and my sad little fangirl was dying... but I hope I didn't freak her out too bad with all the reminders in my Outlook calendar for the Secret Music show plus reminders to buy tix for the Oct 3rd Bethnal Green show (see ya there suckeritos!).... only a little obsessed.

Here is my face:

Was going for gothic undead 20s spinster-siren.... SPOOKY, no???? I did black lipliner with Feu de Terre by Nars on the lips... As far as I can tell this is a selfie in the b-room once back home so probably not my best look. 

Und here is the group pic:

Can you spot me?

As well as the only surviving evidence of Senor Bear?

How I Spent My Summer Vacation, aka HOLS!

WTF has the time gone?

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!
