POOL PARTY. EYE CANDY. FRIED CHICKEN. MARGARITAS. DSQUARED. MODELS. BFFS. MIRRORED SUNGLASSES. it's saturday.

let's just say a friend of a friend 

generously offers you the use of their pool on saturday.

-

and you think, nice, we can all go lounge, 

celebrate the end of "landis week", 

and catch some rays.

-

let's just say friend of friend 

didn't mention the house looked like THIS:

-

-

i know, right?

perfect!

-

thank god jim and lyle remembered to bring hats:

-

-

and blow up toys.

no pool party is complete without blow up toys.

-

-

monkeys in the pool.

all kinds of monkeys in the pool.

-

-

from the top:

clump o' monkeys,

drunky monkeys,

drowny monkeys,

pre-teen monkey,

hunky monkey,

funky monkey.

-

-

tim's food was outrageous.

the theme was "a judd family picnic",

so, popeye's fried chicken and chicken sausage gravy,

assorted foo foo salads (that's the ashley judd part),

margaritas, and cheesecake.

-

you should have seen those gay boys eat fried chicken.

it was like the eagle on a school night.

-

brandon and i felt our sunglasses were outrageous, as well:

-

-

you can see a damn story in the lenses.

can you spot the jim and lyle?

can you spot the moldavian manse?

-

-

it was a dreamy, long, sunny, day.

and in the end, there's nothing much better than your buddies,

an insane pool,

and the time to enjoy them both

to wrap up a week of celebration.

-

the sunset towers at night, the holy day of landis at sunset . . .

if you're going to have a big birthday,

i highly recommend calling my production family,

and having them plan the night.

-

-

connie and kira know me too well.

a small dinner on the terrace of the sunset towers hotel,

overlooking the pool and l.a. laid out below us as the sun set . . .

divine.

-

-

La Bang knows how to take care of me.

-

-

there were moments i thought i might have to separate jo and tim.

-

-

i mean, seriously . . .

manacop and betania kept us laughing all night:

-

-

poolside for gift opening.

-

-

well, you know what the best gift of the evening was:

-

THE HOLY WEEK OF LANDIS STARTED WITH EVELYN -

as most good events in our lives do.

-

-

the girls were insanely excited to see their auntie E

-

-

there was the mandated "window shopping"

-

-

damn paparazzi.

a mandated lunch with "porn lips" jim.

-

-

and one glorious, giggly, bubbly infused dinner at Ortolan.

-

-

witness the lobster "spaghetti".

lobster in a champagne truffle cream sauce, encased in spaghetti, topped with osetra caviar.

-

-

followed by birthday cake.

and porn lips.

-

-

THE HOLY DAY OF LANDIS IS UPON US :

-

"and lo,

he came to us on the day the men first landed on the moon, 

and showered us with his wisdom and wit. 

for this we must celebrate with loud music,

virgin sacrifices,

and copious gifts."

-

i'm just quoting.
