and then, there was tequila at the London hotel . . .

oh dear.

gail gilbert came to town.

which means heady discussions about film

and greek literature,

and danish furniture,

and editorial techniques.

and then we went to the london for drinks:

yeeeees.

you can see where this is going:

from there,

things got fun.

and fuzzy.

fireflies, sparklers, ultimately avec -

they call our rug

"sparkler",

but i've always felt it more a "firefly":

and the one most likely to "light up" the room,

is the little gray one:

if you're lucky enough to find her,

and she doesn't blend in TOO much :

rainbows where you least expect them -

tim and i take a LOT of pictures.

i know, suprise.

but he literally scrambled over the basement sofa with the camera

to take this snap.

i had no idea why.

but sometimes someone sees something 

about you 

that you can never see yourself.

and it's a gift when they want to be sure

you know that perspective,

see you

how they

see you.

another reason,

he's tim.

SOCIETY @ Bordello, los angeles, saturday night, late -

some nights,

a boy just wants to get dressed up,

grab the other boy,

and head out into the balmy los angeles night

in search of someplace a bit less . . .

expected.

the last night of february,

seventy eight degree day,

tim and i gussied up and headed to a new night

at a club in the toy district downtown.

tim was feeling . . .

sparkly.

and yes, those are beaded.

SOCIETY

was one part whorehouse, one part wes anderson, one part pierre et giles,

mixed heartily,

served nice n warm.

the staff was very friendly.

i liked.

i posed,

but i liked.

the twins are part of the band Elephant,

i gotta photograph these two . . .

next month,

any of you all wanna get out your high heels

and join?

i promise to be a gentle host.

(whatever that means.)

heaven's dog, evie's giggle, flashlights -

did i mention evelyn took us to a ton of new restaurants when we went up there?

or that tim took a ton of photos every time we turned around,

so that i lost track,

and just found these,

which i LOVE cause they sum us up,

again?

or that this place had the best name

OF ALL TIME?

susan wayne. "gimpy the graceful" to her friends.

this woman is a rock star.

she was a major corporate powerhouse.

she is an intuitive healer.

she is a steadfast friend,

and a beautiful soul.

alas,

she has trouble stepping off of sidewalks.

just going to show,

you can't see 'em all coming.
