cage dancing in mid-air -

my favorite part of the MENTAL HEAD CIRCUS,

insanely erotic.

in mid-air?

-

ACROBATS, EROTIC DANCE, BURLESQUE, AERIALISTS, SILK CLIMBERS, BAND OF OUTSIDERS AND LOBSTER FOR BRUNCH. it was a great sunday, babies.

yes.

now that that is out of the way,

please consider this little spectacle:

a blend of acrobatics, aerialists, circus, burlesque, and assorted half-clad wonderfulness.

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.

-

celebrate the end of "landis week", 

and catch some rays.

-

-

all kinds of monkeys in the pool.

-

-

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.

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.

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.
