SWIMMING WITH SHARKS

SATURDAY JULY 4TH
THE STANDARD DOWNTOWN LA
550 SOUTH FLOWER
LOS ANGELES, CA 90071
1PM-SUNDOWN


If only I were in town. I love the downtown Standard and I love rooftop pool parties. My beautiful girls Kim (KIM ANH) and Anna (ANON) of Boobytrap will be there spinning those feel-good, get down, feel like you're in Saturday Night Fever tunes.


Fun fact about the downtown Standard:
Pool workers poured large amounts of chlorine and acid down a rooftop drain, prosecutors say, causing a gas cloud in a nearby Metro station. Officials initially suspected terrorism.

I was red-faced and matching my red short-sleeved vintage Dior shirt with the sleeves rolled up when I took this. Just imagine the Gushers commercials. The guy with his face about to pop asking the pretty girl for a photograph while apologizing that it might not come out because he's drunk.





By the way, don't google Gushers with SafeSearch turned off.

Riders In The Sky

I chose the title "Riders In The Sky" because my sister was on that Saturday morning children's television show in the early 90s with these guys, the Riders In The Sky:

Light Leaks

Occasionally, my camera emits a glowing bar due to light leaking in. For this one time, I have taken a liking towards it.

JIMMY CHOO BRINGS GLAMOUR TO H&M THIS AUTUMN
This autumn, British accessory brand Jimmy Choo will bring its international glamour and covetable shoes and bags to selected H&M stores. The collection will be available from November 14 in around 200 stores across the world. It is the first time that H&M is collaborating with an accessories brand, and to celebrate Jimmy Choo will extend its design vision for this collection to women’s clothing to complement the accessories. Further exciting news is that this collaboration includes a men’s collection of shoes, bags and accessories.
“We are privileged to be among the fashion greats who have been affiliated with H&M so far, and to be designing a collection appealing to fashion savvy, street smart women, and to be including some great pieces for men, too. Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection – the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!” Tamara Mellon, Founder and President, Jimmy Choo.

“We adore Jimmy Choo’s shoes and bags. They are glamorous and sexy, and they add instant style to the simplest of outfits. I like the way we have worked with clothes to accessorize the shoes and bags rather than the other way around. This collaboration is particularly exciting because it’s our first shoe designer collection. It’s a joy to be able to offer top end designer shoes and bags of excellent quality to our customers.” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor, H&M.

Since its launch in 1996, Jimmy Choo has been such a phenomenal success that the brand name has become part of popular culture – say the words “Jimmy Choo”, and you know you mean shoes. In Hollywood, Jimmy Choo shoes have become a red-carpet essential, and have been worn at the Oscars by winners such as Cate Blanchett, Halle Berry and Hilary Swank among many other actresses. The famous Jimmy Choo shoes will be at the heart of the exclusive collection for H&M, but there’s more. Jimmy Choo has also become well known for its bags, and for H&M there will be a whole range of accessories to complete the look.

Spontaneity

I was climbing the hallway in my apartment building like Spiderman this weekend and noticed a knife stashed on top of my door. It's still there. Another oddity to add to The List.

The List:

-Sketchy neighbor down the hall drunk, shirtless and shoeless outside with a foot long knife in his hand looking for someone to kill.
-Broken glass and blood everywhere (walls, stairs, little puddle here/there) in my apartment building accompanied by two men bleeding from the head.
-4PM muggings outside my window accompanied by a later 9PM mugging only 10 feet away from the original.
-Neighbors across the alley are crack dealers.
-The pigeons attracted to the chicken bones my crack dealing neighbors throw out their doors and windows.


BAY TO BREAKERS... Is anyone running it? It might be my first running event in more than 5 years. It will taste so delicious if... Fuck it. I'm going to sign up right now. No more might or ifs.

Update:
I just registered.
