FALL is Fallin' All over!! You feel it? I'm feeling it & loving the rush of something NEW in the air. And of course breaking out my favorite faux Leopard Jacket & Grandpa's cardigans.
My vintage flavor for life & ridiculously keen memory make it tough sometimes for me to let go & grab onto newness. I'm definitely working on it & getting better at it..ok , I think I am anyway.
So bring it Fall!! Snow flurries & all. Speaking of newness & new thoughts...
Maybe life is divided into 3 categories. The Controllable. The Non Controllable & The Outta Controllable. I always believed the controllable aspect was the most rewarding. Makes perfect sense right? Well, I'm currently rethinking that one. Oh yeh, of course, it is the warmest, the fuzziest...so familiar...so last winter's fleece pullover...so understood. But whoa & Wowza how blind can a girl get? I mean the more I open my eyes?? The more I truly see....the true beauty of life, art, poetry, music & motion? It's derived from the Non Controllable. How else do we learn to JUMP? How else do we encounter the things which stir the spirit so deep.. unless we're forced by something so far out of our control that we never see it coming? And far beyond that? (& I say far in such a lightweight manner but mean it in an EPIC way such as the distance between planet Earth & Saturn) Enter The OUTTA Controllable. OH man It's like being paid for an extra scoop of soft serve strawberry on your waffle cone at Haagen Dazs, minus the guilt. The Outta Controllable ?? Well it's just what is says " HOW the heck did I get HERE?" & ohhhh yes for good, for bad, for worse, for whatever ? It's gotta hold on you. No proven scientific way to deal with this one. No litmus tests in the workings. Just better hold on tight & enjoy the scenery. You're in it.
So this fall??
I'm wishing you more Nons & Outtas.
Non Controllable laughter.
Non Controllable moments full of things you might regret if you never had the chance to do them again.
And Lots & lots of LOVE in the form of Outta Controllable ticker skips AND head rushes...
OOoooooo & One Million Crushes. :)
Currently Crushin on Frankie & Ava & the way he lovingly referred to her
as his Broad ...Yeh..I digg it.

I will let you know when i have it mastered...for now? I'm not gaining much ground..
I have a Crush on handing the KEYS over. No, not a drinking thing..just an "I don't like to drive & I would rather talk your ear off about things I think are fabulous while you drive me around like a real pro" sorta thing. This works best when given to gorgeous ones who are great with direction & have immense patience.
GREASY Spoon Diners. Ok sure they can be funky & terribly unhealthy.
I know I know.. But where else can you get a pancake the size of your head
And watch it being flipped on an open griddle? hmmmm?
AIR HOCKEY! Yess. I am horrible at it, even after logging in thousands of
hours of AIRNESS while on the road. I still adore it & I highly recommend playing with someone
sweet enough to Let You WIN!! But make sure they don't let you know this up front.
It ruins your Smug Victory Dance at the end...
Few things I like more than Rainy Days in the city & watching pedestrians with umbrellas...Ok there is One thing. Boys with manners enough to hold an umbrella for you. ella ella ella ey-ey-ey
MADDLove for Bright Tights all winter Long...You won't see me stuck in GREY flannel even if it
is freezing & my arse has icicles.
All things Laundry. Laundromats. DOWNEY Softener. The Dryer in motion.
The folding Ooo the SMELL. I gotta thing for laundry. OH & for anyone who sometimes likes to
stay in on a Saturday night & do laundry instead of hitting the club?
I salute you & Oooooooo I am on your team.
Cannot believe this was not MY invention!! A plush velvet princess chair for "NICE GIRLS WHO LIKE STUFF" yes I'll take 10. Thanks.
For anyone who has forgotten how fun it is to doodle a crushes name on a piece of notebook paper? I suggest you get busy. Grab a pen & get started. And remember that NO one shines brighter than YOU. So shine it baby. What you waitin' for?
DANCE DANCE DANCE. And who cares who's watching.
Currently crushing the Tango but trying to learn everything from The Charleston to the Lindy hop. When my feet are busy? My heart feels free...
HOLLYWOOD HotChild in The City!! The Viper Room. Get Thee there
To rock with ME! Sat Nov 14th 10:30pm The'Chutes return to Cali.

Must be a hot drummer thing..keeping gum rhythm to the beat.
Loving FALLNESS and FAIRYTALES and...
Carved Pumpkins of Elegance & F A S H I O N

Crushes & Melt Ur Boots Kisses
Autumn's in the air. Ooo I'm feelin' it. Ima sucker for a pumpkin patch,
a carnival & the FerrisWheel. Always the girl with the fabulous cashmere sweaters...yeh, fall & football games kinda make my day. As much as I love the leaves turnin' & the crisp air blowin' I can definitely tell you that Summer'09 will go down in history as a FAVORITE Time. Whoa & that's a big statement coming from me, my lovies. No..wait...uh, scratch out the word big...More like Monumentally Huge style statement. Monumental is a good word. Don't you think?
I was once accused by a former friend of living my life "as if in the movies" Oh how he scorned the idea of such frivolty. Ofcourse that's when I knew he had to go. Life is entirely too short to not create our own movies. Every moment is a treasure worthy of a film. Don't you agree? And I'm far more concerned with an oscar performance in the movie of my LIFE than any flick I've seen on the big screen. And Really don't you think the movie begins whenever we actually step OUT of the theatre?? It's the day to day deal. Choosing to sift through the mundane, ordinary & the hard to deal with Garbage that gets dumped upon us....sift sift sift...sift thru it & down...down to the passion. Dust that bliss off & get your dancin' shoes on. Guarantee you. It's there. It's waiting & it might be hard to recognize at first, so Oooo be careful what you throw away.
My CRUSH is in full Mode Babie. Here's some of my current FAVES.
Here's wishing you crushable moments & melt your boots kisses.
Loving KATE MOSS Fall'09 collection for TopShop. Insane Rockdom. Gotta own this.
My favorite road story of all time? Loading out the band on stage & a group of guys asked me which member of the band I was "with" & if I had been their 'Groupie" for long.
At first I was offended but then I realized I was sportin' the RockerGirl short dress & stockings why not have some fun with it? So I told them what they wanted to hear..went along with many sordid details of Groupie Fiction (much to their liking) & then LATER when the show began? Yeh I unleashed the humiliation with a fierceness as only a girl with a microphone in front of hundreds can do. I only remember 3 bright red faces exiting the building stage right & many jeers. Oh & a fabulous bouncer named BOSS. Ahhh Good times. ;)
Chanel Chanel Mademoiselle. I never leave home without my favorite
fragrance...
Journals made of REAL Vinyl Records. Uh HELLO this idea was made for ME.
I definitely ordered the StARSHIP one. yes please. http://www.newmuseumstore.org/
