inevidable sad sentimental conclusion
Wednesday, March 30th, 2005I was ontime for work this morning (the first time this month) and the girl from lacoste was late.
Yesterday i worked on a madcap fashion shoot for Susanne Schubert’s Umsteigen. her clothes are getting nicer and nicer, and she’s such a sweet girl. as was my assistant, more like the only reason i was able to accomplish any work at all, the diligent and amazing Arwa, my hero my idol. Also the Models deserv some credit, emily had her shit down pat what with being a seasoned pro, but Nissa, my sweet little elf, did an amazing job, and percervered despite the hell i was putting her gentle spirit thorugh (am i having a west coast moment or something), with all on the: "ok now relax the shoulder, and the corners of your mouth, but don’t move anything else. ok now flex your toe, but dont move your leg…. ok i’ll just do it for you. dont move….. ok look in the lens… the lens, and don’t look away at all. dont blink, dont breathe, suck in, back to the lens!!…."
we got some pretty hot stuff out of that little dirty elf.
So this weekend was lani’s birthdaybash!!!! what an extravaganza, hopefully i’ll have some photos to post (if the now far away haig… as an aside.. it’s sort of odd that we had a ‘go back to the country you came from’ party for him, when he like isn’t even allowed back into that country and his family lives in a different one now, where he’s also not allowed to go back into unless he goes to a whole other country first and then asks them permission from there…) anyways, it was a fun party despite the inevidable sad sentimental conclusion.
actually come to think of it the party was bookended with tempertantrums. just before people started to arrive i had just gotten home from a tiering and hungover day at work. by the time i finally got home put on some comfy clothes and started to make lani’s cake ( a double decker brownie cake separated by ice cream and berries) it was like 8:45 (the first tear of guests was scheduled for 9:00pm)
looking into the brown batter, i channeled nelly furtado and felt all powerless, and as it turns out the secret ingredient in delicious brownies is heaving sobs…. salty tears can make all the difference cut to an hour and a half later there are 15 people downstairs laughing it up with cocktails, and i’m upstairs soaking it up with my pillows.
anyways the party was way more fun after i got my makeup on. a friend of mine brought this cute boy as a "gift" for me to kiss (i can write about this cause i know he ‘the gift’ is no longer on friendster… aka if your privy to both sides of the story, keep your damned mouth shut) he seems sweet, and in a mariah carey moment i would have traded my malteese terrier to make out with him, (even if he’s a mini, leila!) Note* to all boys (especially the ones who reduce me to mumbles because of their quick witted banter and charming smiles… you know who you are…. don’t you?), and girls who want to make out with me, if we’re at a party give it a try, usually i’m game. But back on track: ‘the gift’, before any kissin was to take place, he was re-rwapped and re-gifted, or at least re-possessed and taken home with my not so giving friend, and i resumed to flirting with straight men with lame girlfriends, OH FUN!
in the wee hours the party split intwo, the psychadelic drug ingesters (lots of fun, some rather sentimental insight, and wicked good impersonations) and the radical marginals, also fun, but in a more exclusive kind of way. The marginals like tha same music and perverted sex as me, the psycadelics like laughing until they pass out from lack of oxygene like me.
anyways the party was fun (the cleanup sucked and was single handedly administered by yours truely (although i ought not to complain cause i told lani that if i found her cleaning i’d cut her hands off, like they do in regent park)
Sunday i had dinner with my aunt and uncle and grandparents and this time the conversation was pleasant and totally not about gay marriages or pedophelia or anything that might get me all upitty. and my cousin christiane, made a real good point about the previous weekends conversation: i am in a sense really lucky to have grandparents who are comfortable enough with my sexuality to talk about the politics and actually listen to my perspective, and my granny is so full of sweetness, i could never really be mad at her.
my aunt having spoken with my mother was in the know regarding my liza minelli the night before was all sweet and like attentive, meanwhile her son my hot hot hot 15 year old cousin has gotten so muscular form rowing that his torso is the same size from front to back as mine is from side to side, all i can say is thank god i got him to take his shirt off for photos like three years ago when he was still cute in the little boy way and incapable of beating the living shit out of me. and my other cousin elissa, oh bless her heart, she’s the opposite, small enough that if she turns sideways you need to strain to see her at all. she sat beside me at dinner and pinched me everytime my voice grew too shrill or my sentences too long, she’s got some wicked editorial skill. she should probably take a look at this she could help me devide it between inside outside voice.
Rose and her douchebag boyfriend have finally broken up once and for all. thank god for that. he was a nice guy, i enjoy the week of the child, by the by, happy birthday mattie. but like c’mon children do grow up unless some tragic accident cuts their lives short (inside voice)they don’t spend their lives blaming everything else for their problems, and copping out on honnesty and using guilt trips to keep from examining their own roles in their lives… i know rose wouldnt say it, so i have. and also now you’ve got some extra insight and hopefully insentive to read her blog, cause it’s so good i cant even deal.
All the ladies if you feel me help me sing it out, a guy or girl who lays guilt on you for wanting some affection or demonstration of their alleged feelings for you is a cold scared person who is most likely not ready to be involved… at least not with you. if (s)he is all squeemish about being yours, it’s about you and the whole, holding out for something better shit, kill it with the skillit. If youre not getting amazing sex out of the aquaintanceship i suggest you move it along. although i’m the last person who ought to give relationshiop advice.
to that end i suggest that everybody get real comfortable with bing single. relationships are for losers.
dont let that deter you from sending me love letters and propositions,
still hoping, BGA.
