Half of what I say is meaningless

About Me

"Miss Martin is like a martini: classic, dangerous, tasteful, a libation, both shaking and stirring, something to be seen with and sipped, cool and dry, with condiments and comes with brilliant presentation and not for kids or lightweights. She's the toast of any cocktail party worth attending and will leave you hungover with the mean reds like the glamourpuss she is." JASON JONES, FRIENDSTER PROFILE TESTIMONIAL, 2003
"Julia is like haiku,inexplicable until you get it."
e. powell, friendster testimonial, 2002
I know I've already submitted a testimonial for Julia but I will once more. I've been away for many years and she has kept me in the know, on the tip and above the radar. Lolita is a magical creature of the night. Fantastic rack, powers of persuasion unrivaled, legs up to her neck, exquisite taste, humble and loyal, a firecracker you never want to light, a delicate dessert you eat with your hands (and smear on the boy in question's face), pages six, seven and eight, thoughtful and considerate, wicked and celebrated, Miss Martini makes everything groovy. (Jason Jonesxoxox)
I own a boutique called nite spa on Abbot Kinney in Venice. It's a beauty lounge/ hideout / sanctuary. We wax, rub, groom, and make you up. We play wonderful music and pamper you with small delights. We stay open late. I have magical friends that I adore. Before this I had a company called Blood & Butter with my best friend Julie Ross Godar and we threw legendary costume parties in San Francisco. Blood and Butter productions were responsible for at least three marriages and one baby. "we are the musicmakers and we are the dreamers of dreams..."

My Interests

I am haunted by snapshots of my past lives. These slivers of fascinations are what move me, blurring this waking life to the point where it feels like one long lucid dream. I was the flapper tempting hustlers with ten cent dances. I was the drag queen passed out on the couch at Andy's Silver Factory. I had picnics on Gatsby's lawn and rode around in big cars with boys drinking whiskey from an antique flask. I smoked hashish with a kinky, bohemian vampire. When I was 16, I lost my innocence in Torremolinos with a sailor who got me hooked on sangrias, suntans and siestas. Malaga is an enchanting place. I will always feel more Spanish than American. Later, much later, I drank absinthe with a taxidermist until dawn. I had licentious affairs in the French Quarter. I served you sake in a secret Geisha Parlour. I want to make everyone feel Beautiful and Special. I will take your picture and make a painting from it. I don't want my business to be small; I want to give you an experience like no other. Happy Hours make me Happy, the ocean makes me nostalgic; there is nothing like sharing food at fancy bistros. My entourage is super; do you want to be part of our posse? We're nice. We only bite sometimes late at night when we haven't been fed, Room service is heaven; swimming pools and hot tubs turn me on, I adore vintage nightclubs. Magazines are like a drug for me. Give me 15 minutes in a vintage shop and I can find the best frock. I love to be surrounded by foxy friends, late at nite,in a room with music and conversation. I will take it to the limit. I said limit, Limit. That's right. You won't know what hit you. My idea of Heaven on Earth is a massage and a lavender scented steam room.I want to create a space that caters to party people, a place where you can go on the day after you got so lit that you couldn't see. I want to rub those toxins right outa your hair.

I'd like to meet:
