I am starting to shoot paid assignments again. The operative word here is "paid". Models: Contact me for my rates. Publications: Also, contact me for my rates. To repeat: I don't work for free. I don't have to!
Models, if you are interested in shooting with PinUpGirlClothing.com, please go to the Pinup Girl Clothing MySpace page and friend it. Then send us a message over there. They'll be able to answer any questions you may have.
I don't like talking about myself. Ok that's a lie. I don't like filling out "About Me" pages. I LOVE talking about myself.
Whenever possible I will redirect a conversation back to ME, where it belongs.
I am interested in other people, and how those other people affect ME.
Things I Like:
Drinking
Fighting
Fucking
Mocking
Things I Do Not Like:
Working
Not Drinking
Um, that's it for now. I'll probably delete all of this as soon as I sober up. So it could be up for awhile.
Who I'd like to meet: Shit, I don't want to meet anyone. Meeting people usually ends badly for me.
I moved to Los Angeles in 1992 and I have literally THREE close friends that I've met here in this 14 year span:
John: My husband. In large part because he was planning a move to NYC when I met him. Plus he's super cute, so I overlooked that whole "being from Los Angeles" thing, because it facilitated the "getting laid by the hot photographer dude" thing.
Uh, anyway. Yes, I'm drunk again. Fuck you.
Tony: He's not originally from L.A. Of course. Nobody is, really. I met him because my ex-boyfriend Paul did business with the place where Tony worked, and then John started hanging out there, and then I started hanging out there, and there you go.
The point? I wasn't looking for a new friend - it just happened.
Saul: Not originally from L.A. Of course. Met him when I went back to college (I WILL have my law degree one day - um, when I get a minute). I made a joke that referenced Shakespeare. He laughed. I noticed his shoes (not lame). We spoke after class about the movie Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. We talked about The Jam, Blur, Oasis, and Pulp. He said something about how white people, for the most part, suck the ass. I agreed. The rest is history.
Everyone else I'm close to? Knew them in New York prior to 1992.
So, there you have it - the long answer to "who I'd like to meet".
The short answer: Nobody. I'm done. Plus I'm an ass. Knowing me holds very little benefit for you. I'm incredibly self-absorbed.
