Halloween and the Red Feather Boa

The morning after any social event is crucial when evaluating the level of fun and sobriety from the night before. My standard "morning after" protocol is as follows:

After waking up -- preferably hangover-free -- I immediately start gathering evidence. I hit up the usual suspects.

1) My trusty cell phone: It's the quickest way to figure out if I drunk-dialed or texted someone. If I'm lucky, my Call Log will read "Empty" and the text messages that I inevitably sent -- (I'm an addict) -- are G-rated and friendly.

2) My camera: If a picture tells a thousand words, a 256 MB memory card tells millions. I like how a sequence of photos truly reflects the progression of intoxication throughout the night.

Check out the following sequence of SHOTS (there's a double meaning, here), and see for yourself our level of fun and sobriety.

Here starts the story of the red feather boa. Much like the Red Violin (that film that leads viewers through the life of a single violin -- can't really remember the plot because I was bored and fell asleep), this picture sequence will lead you through the drunk half of my night.

The red feather boa made its debut around the neck of Superstar Spanish Eyes Angela, with Superstar Olivia and the Kokxx Cable guy.

The red feather boa found a green feathered friend to hang with.

Jenn pummelled the red feather boa and separated it from its green feather friend.

I finally got the red feather boa all to myself, and like the Mask did to Jim Carrey, the red feather boa did to me. It transformed into a whole new person.

..and finally ends, with me sporting the red feather boa on my head like the red comb of a rooster, and crowing out my "mating call" to anyone who'd listen.

Sidekick 3 LE Event in LA

Work took me to Los Angeles last week. This trip (like most of my trips) started out with pics of my hotel room.

BEVERLY HILTON

MELROSE

My Angeleno brother David picked me up Thursday afternoon to shop for a shirt for him to wear to Mr. Chow's. We spent the day walking up and down Melrose Ave.

We shared chocolates from Jin Patisserie on our way to Melrose Ave, where my heels took a beating from walking up and down a 10 block-range.

Debbie Harry of Blondie performed. (Blondie became popular at the same time that Diane von Fursterburg did, circa the 1970's.) During the show, I called my mom and dad, who immediately recognized Debbie Harry's music. (I was clueless.)

AREA

After the SK3 LE event, we went to Area nightclub, where we saw Jamie Foxx, Dennis Rodman, Pamela Anderson and a stumbling Paris Hilton. LC and the Hills crew were also there, filming at the table next to ours.

Check out video from Area at the link below. (Don't blink, or you'll miss David and me!)

(Look who's in the background! That's me sporting an ultra-cool hairband on my wrist. I always wear a hairband no matter where I am. It's a tell-tale sign of a non-fashionista.)
