Friday morning I stopped by David and Miye's for coffee (David's in the background demonstrating his "I'm down wit' black people" hand gestures. That's "Soooo money!" which is an expression David told me "the blacks" are keen on saying).
Once that party was in full swing, I decided it was time to unveil my new Spring Collection 2004.
Top-button, velour shirt, the stylist's own; skull n' bones concert -tee, Piebald ($10); white canvas belt, some Chinee lady on Canal Street ($1). Champagne flute crammed down front of pants for effect.
Later that evening, I got a call from Laura Sosin (aka "Special Sos") who you might remember from the last time I went out to visit LA. We agreed to meet up at a party that the LA Weekly was throwing to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. Here's Sos with two friends who names I've since forgotten.

for most of the day.
After Iggy's, Bev and Matt left and Emily and I popped into Pianos, but it was pretty gay so we left. (But not before some hipster kid put his "mesh hat" down on the bar and when he turned around, we swiped it and ran out the door.) We immediately took turns trying it on seeing who...
Yeah, so those are pretty much the only good pics I have from the Mermaid Parade this year. I told you it wasn't nearly as good as last year's. Later that evening, a bunch of us headed out to Greenpoint to check out a loftparty in my old building. Dave and I represent on the Cripp tip...
Can you pick out what's different here? Yep, that's right. Only one person is wearing a blue shirt. (From L to R: Lil' Buddy, Tall Stranger that was trying to be "money" like Vince Vaughn, Chris, Grant, and Grant's crazy friend Alyssa who came back to my place and tried to cheat on her boyfriend with me. Crazy, crazy, cuh-razy.
