Risk
people ask me
"Weren't you scared moving to LA alone at 18?!"
or NY with only $500 in cash and a little suitcase
or living in London England
yes. yes I was.
but I was much more terrified of not going
and asking myself
"What if?"
(also, my brother read me the Hobbit when we were little
and I like the smell of adventure)
Epic New York Storm
So I was supposed to be in New York for work right meow
(because I have the greatest job ever ever ever!)
and New York is in a total state of panic right now
because of this epic snowstorm which is going to be the worst in history
(not even a hyperbole, thats what the meteorologists say)
anyways, my Mom texted me today and was like
"You know, you actually have a guardian angel haha you always narrowly escape disaster"
She is 100% right about that.
...like the time I accidentally rented an apartment in the LA ghetto
(they said there was a park...on google it has a rowboat on it.....they didn't mention is was a crack-park, ok?)
and my landlord turned out to be a big time porn director
and the poet upstairs started leaving creepy poems under my door at 3am
and there were cockroaches
and I almost got abducted by a truck full of scary men
but I ran and hid behind a house
or the time in New York when my roommate got antibiotic resistant flesh eating disease
I'm not even making this stuff up you guys haha
so, whatever/whoever keeps saving me.....
This is for you:
(please ignore my adam's apple....meh.)
Designing clothes in Beverly Hills
-Los Angeles-
I scan down the list in the phonebook as a waif-like blonde flitters through the office like a beautiful Prada monarche butterfly
I dial out and wait
Man(Mexican accent): Hello?
Me: Hi! Do you have (insert rare and exotic animal)
Him: .....ummmm... un momento por favor...(distant Spanish yelling)
Him: Come today?
Me: Yes, I will be there in the next hour

I hop into my boss's car and drive to east LA
Hair flying in the open wind of the sunroof
People trying to sell me chopped up mangoes
Chaotic swirling traffic as my arms tan in the sun

Lesbian Santa Letter
Dear Santa,
I have beengood....pretty good this year. I have not run over any little old ladies, I eat my collard greens(.....is kale a collard green.....what are collard greens?!), and always have protected(ish) sex.
So! Since you are so busy I made this handy shopping list for you (I'm so considerate!)
Need:
1. Someone to clean my shower
2. Expensive shoes....ok fine this isn't a "need"
3. Plane ticket to LA. No, for real. I need this.
Want:
1. Sexy girlfriend/partner to see 3-4 times a week
3. If we could move straight into a home outfitted exactly like Anthroplogie that would be great!
Hope I'm not asking too much. By the way, that beard looks hot on you.
You were so hipster before the hipsters.

Backstage At Los Angeles Fashion Week
I tear the shirt off a man covered in body shimmer foundation
He has the abs of Titan and a perfect face like a Calvin Klein model
Her: LET'S GO GUYS! GO GO GO! DON'T FORGET YOUR ACCESSORIES! LINE UP HERE!
It's a flurry of nude thongs, vintage boots, photographers taking photos of Anthony Kiedis kissing supermodels on the cheek, round makeup light bulbs, models comparing carrot cleanses, and a woman in a dramatic green fur stole giving me LA survival advice.
this madness, my home
