embroidery


this is an embroidery project i started a couple months ago that is now very close to being done. in the picture it is "in progress". the blue is just a water soluble marker. i have already started a new project that will be less about my friend's band (pictured above) and more about other stuff.

tonite i am working at my store's press party where Samantha Ronson will be djing. my best friend Victoria told me i should make out with her, but the real question is, what if Lindsay Lohan is there? what then?

p.s. in other lesbian news, Heather Matarazzo (Welcome to the Dollhouse) is engaged to a woman!

Or at least, I haven't. for several months! But things got tricky and hard. Then in mid-July I went to my best friend's wedding (Rupert Everett wasn't there) and things felt a lot better. Or maybe I should say, i felt a lot better. I realised that for the past 7-8 months I had let my self confidence crumble and taken beatings from people I normally would not allow to hurt me. But then I went away to this wedding weekend. And just as I so aptly proclaimed to a large roomful of people, I started "having the best time of my life". I danced up a storm with some of the greatest people I've ever known, had slumber parties every night playing slumber party games, wore really cute outfits constantly and witnessed someone I love get married to someone who loves her like crazy and vice versa. A little flirting didn't hurt either.

Naturally, I didn't let the fun stop when i got back home. I started going out to shows i wanted to see more often. I painted my kitchen a lovely shade of Mint Yogourt. I started a long past due embroidery project. I helped a new friend move her store from one location to the next. I visited my friend Steve Welch. A lot! I renewed a few old friendships and started some new ones. I bought navy eyeliner and rocked it. Other things happened too, but mostly I was good to myself.
