The glitter-razzi

martins new pants arrived yesterday, so we had a secret wednesday night affair at The TOP.
We feasted on baked potatoes and canned champagne dressed in our best.
The waitress asked if we were in a band, of course we replied yes.
I am the lead singer, mostly skat.
Martin plays the bongos with his sunglasses on.
Phil plays the trumpet.
Victoria plays the guitar.
And Shawn delivers the papers..
we are a low key soft jazz band inspired by Les Baxer's soundtracks for Bikini beach movies.
and super-mega bohemian
a very drunk fellow, was positive that Phil had just been to a wedding (since he was wearing his grandfather's tux coat with tails)
a lovely drunk lady bellowed, " Watch out bexley police..Here I come!!!"
and we all disbursed in vic's mercedes

carpentry

Lately, I have found alot of carpenters records at the local thrift stores. Of course I would.
They were quite the darlings of their time.
You can always count on carpenters and herb alperts records in the thrift store.
Religious books and romance novels will always be there too.
I remember really loving the, "If I were a Carpenter" album when I was in...jr.high?
Sonic Youth does a cool superstar, and shonen knife is just plain cute..
I think my top 5 carpenters songs would be:
1.) Merry Christmas Darling
2.) Hurting each other
3.) I won't last a day without you
4.) Rainy Days and Mondays
5.) Goodbye to Love

show de XUXA

Of, course when I was a teenager I was very attracted to Xuxa. She has a show on univision broadcasted from brazil. She would wear the most outrageously trampy outfits. That I LOVED. I totally loved her thigh high boots in patent white. Se had the most amazing outfits ever, and her crazy little set and trampy dressed child guests were also super AMAZE.
My dad actually bought me a Xuxa barbie doll (i think i was 15?) But I LOVED it.
Xuxa the goddess of my teenage ambitions.

Kid Estes, The c-bus family, Big Mad Mountain, and alot of junk food

USA FREEZER'S Exclusive interview

An exclusive interview with Santa Monica’s most desired, Mr. Jamestown Massacre. We lucked out and got the major scoop on how he started the cult favorite,
USA FREEZER’S COALITION.

Tell me, what was the inspiration for the USA Freezer’s Coalition?
“Um, inspiration for USA freezers was, like….. suspend living things in raw form through liquid preservation.”

How many attendee’s in the Coalition?
“Probably 6 of us, all under the age of 7.”

Who was the leader?
“Craig Chapman was the leader of all things bad, per usual, but my residence was used as the laboratory. So that made me the guy. If I wasn’t home the whole mission would not formalize.”

What were the best possible environmental conditions for the USA Freezers to perform?
“Usually took place on hot sunny summer afternoons, and the bees were a buzzin and dragonflies were a flyin, and the monarch butterflies were a perching. Most of god’s creatures were suckling up nectar unsuspectingly off guard.
We nabbed, with one wing. Pinching fingers like chopsticks and as quiet as a church mouse. And grabbing the wing while they flutter and grabbing a cup and immersing them in water and taking a stick and jabbing them into the cup.”

Then Massacre made a freaky face..

What is something that USA Freezer Fans might not know about the Coalition?
“My grandfather worked for Dixie cup, he gotta us billions and billions of old school Dixie cups. That were probably worth money. We could make antiques roadshow cream with delight in the style of cups we have. The prints we could use for wallpaper inspiration in movie stars homes.”

What was the most incredible creature you froze?
“A giant black bumblebee, the size of a small frog. Animatronics. We were thinking it had a remote control.”

Tell us how the USA Freezers empire fell apart?
“We got more mature. We stopped at age 9. Two summers, then we started doing the cat trick. Which is a gorilla mask that we would tie fishing strings through the eyeballs and attach a piece of evergreen branch with a furry ball attached. Then we would place the mask under a parked car and then pull the string across the street hide and pull the device until a car would stop as if it were hitting a cat.. We laughed”

“And we did that for a few years. That was our favorite. Then the rope trick.
Which I won’t explain….”

Emma, Massacre’s associate, made a freaky face.
Emma: “That that’s what my straight edge friends did since they had nothing else to do.”
Emma started drinking at 14

Massacre, is there anything else you would like to add?
“Messing with god’s creatures is an ugly business. I have undergone a change. I will save an ant from my bedroom carpet. I will turn off my shower to save a spider. And I will capture a mosquito in the dead of night just to let it out, instead of squishing”

Nanny vs. Frank

These are the x-mas cards from the family cats.
Nanny belongs to Dad and Frank belongs to Mom.
My Quirky Father hand wrote the cards and translated for the cats.

magazines i hate

I don't usually like any junk food mags, and find them to be worthless for real trend information, but they are good to confirm the masses. This months bazar and elle had just a few things that sparked some interest.
The top photo was my accident at the copy machine, but i really like it. I have had it on my desk for way to long and need to throw it away, so this would be my
farewell
