LA SCOOP
By

Mockingbird

Yeah Yeah, I'm
supposed to be on strike but I have to write you. I got up Monday
morning and my brand new Skull ring had come from
www.Hellkats-LA.COM.
That's Elise's
cool company and I was obsessed with that Iggy Pop song that goes,
Skull, Fast Cars, Hot Chicks, Money., I made it my new Mantra. So
now I got my magic skull like a proper Hindu do! Last night I went
to the Magic Castle with my Fairy Godmother Cherie, Erika Larson
and her mother, who are the founder's wife and Daughter. We
watched Arman Ra play the Thermion and had a great time. I saw
Trey from Cabinet of Curiosities there. With the Girl who runs
Club Dandy. Then, without a moment to lose, we had the Surf and
Turf at the Rainbow. The food there is so yummy, drool!. Big
Mike was at the door, cool, cool, Mario's, the first face I see,
still a charmer, and Celine, smiling and taking orders from the
Cypress Hill crew there Slash was playing the Whiskey, Lemmy's
about to tour Europe, so it was rather a sedate post Halloween
evening.
Speaking of
Halloween, I spent mine with Alex, Karen, and The Sex Pistols. We
went to the Craig Ferguson shoot, which held about 50 people. John
Lydon and I had a Kibitz and toast, and bit of the old memory
lane. Then Dave from Incest Surfers and a bunch of my pals watched
them play Pretty Vacant. Steve Jones had the flu. That the only
time I have ever seen him speechless! The Indie 103.1 radio just
sucks with out him in his time slot. John is sooooo funny in the
interview he said he was fat, fifty, and I'm back. Such honesty,
such integrity, He's such a crack up. He had been on the Tonight
show with Jay Leno. Watch Sir Dodgy 's most caustic responses! Now
they are in London and Glasglow, well, off to rule the world agian.
It must be that
Punk Rock time of year, I'm going Brendan Mullen's 'Masque and
Punker Party' at the Echo in Silverlake. Fear is playing the same
night at Safari Sam's so I'm going to be a little crazy!
I was elected
Punk of the month in Punk Globe Magazine. What a Surprise. I love
my titles, Queen of if the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo 1989,
Queen of the Pasadena Doo Dah Parade in 1999, and now in 2007,
Punk of the month. Yippee!
Tequila TV is
on Friday Night's at 11:30 pm on Channel 24 Hollywood Public
Access, Time Warner. I am also shooting a lot at my Club Fluffer.
Come hear the music for free Thursday at 9pm 1941 Hyperion in
Silverlake.Yeah and buy your very own Fluffer tee shirt!
I went to
a listening and video party for Junkie XL from Holland. We had
great Greek food and wine there, I met Peaches manager too! I was
gonna take the girls but they seemed too busy, and besides I was
hanging with John Lydon's publicist and I did not want to be
distracted....
Junkie XL does lots of video game soundtracks and the video was a
hoot, I got a copy for Tequila TV.
Tom and his Manager Mikael were very nice and down to earth. We
talked about Indian Cuisine mostly, and M.S. and I agree that 'a
taste of India' next door to Dan Tana's and the Troubadour is a
very good restaurant indeed!.
Lily and the Ladies were hanging out with Apollo Staar at the
Burgundy room. Lil's dad is Tex Beaumont, I placed one of his
songs in Linda Kandel's movie 'Mascara', when I was her music
supervisor. Tex's new album is called Confidential
Terrance, is the door man sang at the Hotel Cafe and I went to see
him with some friends recently. He is playing Ian's art gallery
next door on Wednesday at 9pm fer free and he has a beautiful
voice, thick and dark, and gospel.
Score!!! I am in the Pasadena Daily news and Pasadena weekly for
the Doo Dah Parade. I haven't read it yet but it sounds positive.
We are having a Doo Dah Party at my club, Club Fluffer on the 29th
of November.A number of Doo Dah people will be there, Count
Smokula, Madame Pamita, Doo Dah chief Tom Costen, Tequilabilly,
Alvin Pleasant. Mick Farren, Ukeular Winter and more.
I'm having Thanksgiving dinner with Dick and Jane this year, It
should be fun a group of our old friends are coming. Sadly, no
date for me. Maybe I will meet Mr, Right now soon...you never
know!
My friend Leslie is a whiz kid on the Internet. She has placed me
no.1 on the search engines. If you want to be no.1 in you business
I'll put you in touch with her.
The folks at Interorbial held the first annual Space Fashion show!
It was held near LAX as in the airport it was a complete success.
Randa Miller brought together many designers to predict the future
of Fashion in Space. I am soooo gonna be wearing those clothes,
fresh of the runway. Next we will conquer Japan again.
I went to the Velvet Margarita with Teresa Crispo and Rainey and
some friends from London who were here dressing Victoria Secret
Models at the Kodak Theater. I downed to Margarita's and climbed
into bed, I can't drink like I used too and It's just as well. I
have a hard on for moderation these days.
The Masque was a blast! Everyone was there. Brendan Mullen's book
was the star of the show. Lot's of pictures of us in 1977 during
our Punk Glory days. The Pope was there, Janet Cunningham from
C.A.S.H., my old agent. Dick and Jane, my fairy godmother
photographer, Cherie Gillette, Gaby, Jenny Lens, Bruce from Wall
of Voodoo, Elise Thompson and husband Bob Lee, Kay Kay from the
Screamers and the Brainiacs with wife Trudy,Shane West, artist-
Pancho, journalist belly dancer Pleasant Gehman, Europa. Don
Bolles from Ding a Ling.
Russell, current king of the rainbow just back from the Danzig
tour,Billy Zoom from X, I talked to Tito and Charlie from the
Plugs and the list goes on and on. We got there at 5pm and It was
sold out.One of our friends called it Sweating to the Oldies!
