What? Like, You Thought I’d Forgotten Or Something?
No such luck.
I’m just a tease.
Wait–SCRATCH! I’ve just been holding back to make this post “stand out from the pack.”
Yeah, that’s it…
Actually, since “L.A. Fashion Week” happened in various mutations this fall–What do we have now…three per season? Can’t. Keep. Up.–I thought it might be nice to take a look back at runway shots from the
event
on 07/30/09.
Except this time? I’ll do so with
Less gab; more GORGEOUNESS.
(How about that, then?)
From Miss Kitching, I intuit
a resounding “Yes, please!”
So…that being said, here’s
actor Daniel Franzese as he awaited patiently…
Burlesque bombshell Ava Garter, who
who set the stage for the show to kick off
(with a lethal stiletto, bless her heart!)
While
In the interim, “90210″ hottie Annalynne
had a show of her own goin’ on,
essentially
*Cue Smiley-Face Emoticon*
as she waited front-row for her sister
The latest of ‘The McC Girls’ to stake her claim
as a media darling: Angel McCord ,
who conquered the catwalk like a pro…
O.K., some of you might recall my adulation over
Joshua Petker’s painting “Hunting for Witches” a while back?
(Be it yay or nay, here’s a reference for your ‘Quick & Easy’…)
Well, spot-check the detail of how it translated to fabric:
Mr. Gold’s stitch-witchery paired with Petker’s inimitable technique,
then ’suited & booted’ by McCord’s searing Buffalo Stance?
Stellar. Zenith.
S U B L I M E!
:: Smoocheroonies to you, Angel! ♥ ::
And on the tip of ’sublime,’
it’d be criminal of me to not include
one of the most adept catwalk-stalkers in Los Angeles,
(impeccably-manicured) hands’ down!
I’m talkin’ about
Amanda Fields of “Project Runway” infamy
Of course, a Jared Gold show wouldn’t be complete

Yes, this ‘recession’ sitch is a real bitch…
I may not have the Million Bucks, but–as the adage goes–that doesn’t mean I can’t do my damnedest to
LOOK LIKE IT!
Spot-check these promotions by which you can do the same!:
So, Yeah…I’m Old.

Here are some of the fine folks who came out
to celebrate that I’m now a year closer to the ol’ dirt nap…
Realizing that I’m—ahem—under a bit of stress as of late,
Jessicka took it upon herself to organize a dinner
at one of my favorite local eateries, Casita Del Campo:
Swish Hips Earn Tips:
Rawk Chicks Lisa Leveredge and Jessicka
None other than Miss Lenora Claire was there
Totes lettin’ us have it with the twins!
(Which I’m not mad about…ain’t mad about at all…)
Wordsmith Brendan Mullen of Lexicon Devil, We Got The Neutron Bomb,
and Live at the Masque: Nightmare in Punk Alley fame
Kim Sosore and William Mills—i.e.,
Just about the cutest damn couple in town
whereas
only half of this duo is “lookin’ good”…
and that half by no means is myself!
(Beneath my grip is the beautiful journalist
known as Caroline Ryder)
Of course,
I feel it imperative to announce:
NOT A SINGLE MARGARITA WAS SLURPED AT THIS DINNER…
Jessicka Addams. Lisa Leveredge.
Proof/Pudding?
;D
Mmm Hrmm…
Yeah, right.
Damn shame I can’t blame my own bad behavior
on anything other than…
Luis Payne of Hairroin Salon!
(Now, there’s an exclamation point
that wants to be an interrobang “when it grows up,”
if I’ve ever seen one.)
And speaking of the ol’ “!?”—
I should move on to THE PARTY, fer F’s sake!
However, before I clack a single syllable into the keyboard,
I want to give a
Huge-Ass Honkin’
Load of THANKS
to my pals
Adrian and The Mysterious D
of
For hosting a birthday shin-dig for me
and my “Thousand Closest Imaginary Friends”
with the legendary Paul V
at
(one of several monthly parties thrown around the world–
I’m so proud to see two pals from S.F. go ‘Global!’)
♥ HIT IT, DEIRDRE! ♥
Also, I must admit I wasn’t exactly bummed to have Rony Alwin of
there to chronicle some* of the evening’s guests…
Here are a few ‘choice’ shots (filched from aforementioned site, please.&.thanks):

ART FAG ALERT!
No, I don’t hit every line in the prose-poem verbatim.
Yes, I wrote it. It’s ancient history, actually…but I chose the piece as a ’sampling of my wares’–so to speak–because it’s self-contained and just under the 10 minute mark.
BACKGROUND INFO: this monologue was filmed on the day that basically determined whether or not I’d have a sample of my art hanging in the Andy Warhol museum. By “hanging,” I mean via 50 inch flat-screen monitor and bitchen sound system with my monologue on endless repeat (entering the room on ‘Opening Night’ and hearing my far-from-soothing voice bouncing around the pristine white walls? SURREAL… and something I’m still processing.)
That Once-In-A-Lifetime pressure +
5 1/2 single-spaced pages of text?
I’m just glad I pulled it off…
And of course, exponentially more grateful to glenn kaino for including me as one of his “Uberstars” in the 8-year retrospective of his sculpture/photography in the reknown Andy Warhol museum in Pittsburgh!
Catalottalisp was “served, and proper” from May 3 – August 31st, 2008, thanks to Mr. kaino and the curators’ hospitality.
This clip would not exist without the camera skills of Nhat Nguyen and editing prowess of Diego Garza.
