Hey Kids - remember, today's slim fit = tomorrow's tummy hugger!

About Me

Slave to love, money, fashion, big oil, the grind, the Bunny Luv carrot cartel. Bicoastal-curious.

My Interests

Loitering. Sleeping really late. Astral projection. Bed-ins.

I'd like to meet:

Thurston Moore and Thurston Howell, Thurman Munson and Herman Munster. Nick Cohn, Nick Drake, Nick Kent and Nick Cave. Hipsters, hippies, yippies and yuppies. My non-evil twin.

Music:

New wave, old wave, bossa nova, nouvelle vague. Almost anything from 1966. Tropicalia and Scandinavia. New romantics, old romantics, fancy pants crooners of yore.

Movies:

My Seasonal Affective disorder prevents the watching of too many movies.

Television:

cable has arrived and ruined my life.

Books:

Re-Make/Re-Model: Becoming Roxy Music

Heroes:

Bertrand and Arthur Russell, Walter Benjamin, James Turrell, Winston Churchill, Samuel Johnson, Benjamin Franklin, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, Suzanne Valadon, EF Schumacher, Bill Maher
