Velvet Underground - I´m Waiting For The Man



my first visit to new york this song was stuck in my head the entire time. I dont know if it was because i was quickly running out of heroin, and desperatly looking for a fix, or because i was on lexington picturing lou reed picking up from some sweaty cuban drug dealer.. in my mind it looked so easy....during the Tripp i met my great friend Scotties future wife Abby, and saw my brother from another mother ray(so it wasnt all bad), and the whole time was really sick(fuck drugs)...who a few years earlier left me at his old mans house in laguna beach.. for NY. after a few days of scouring the city I was saved by a good friend, not with shit drugs, but with a ticket home( i owe her my life) and was flying home after just 3 or 4 days in NY.. did i mention that i took a bus from long beach california all the way to New York port authority! tattooin my shit the whole way!(bad idea)!..it had been 2 or so days without any poison.. I should have kicked when i got home, but i am notorious for making bad decision's!! it took me about another year to get away from that shit........................I don't really keep track, i just know its about this time... as well it lines up with when I met the love of my life Shani!who i give soul credit for my sobriety!! right about now I am around 5 year clean...this isnt a yah for me.. this is what has been on my mind recently.and more so about seeing my friends die from stupid shit... to all of my friends who are still on it, pull your head out of your ass!

No Rhyme No Reason








went to the dmv today

I have been riding dirty since 04, and it all started with a bullshit speeding ticket that i was given on the way back from vegas. I was driving  because all my friends bitched out when it came time to drive home, one was pretend sleeping, another claimed death by hang over, and the other i wouldnt want to drive even if we didnt party for 3 days straight... made the cop laugh, what i got from him was a ticket ...he thought i was on drugs...which i was??nt, but i was still drunk from the night before..and i am glad that he didnt make me blo, even after I told him to breathalize me. he made me hop on one foot, sing,dance,and all the dui check bullllloni i said fuck the man, and went on with my life. I figured that down the road I would bump into a cop, and go to jail..get out with time served..bam.. Ha in the end the joke was on me..

2.where did you grow up
 
  The O.C 

3. at what age did you recognize your knack for fashion
 
   It's hard to say really , I mean my mom has pics of me with her high heels on decked out in her clothing and over sized glasses  at age 2 so.... I I'd like to think birth.

4.when did you become interested in vintage clothing
 
   Well again this kinda goes back to my mom and sister since they both have always      loved clothing from different genres I really grew up going to thrift/consignment  stores all the time , but I would say around the age of 7 or 8.

5.what is your favorite band
 
    Wow that's a tough one , too many to pick from .....  Stones , Beatles , Iggy Pop , Lou
 Reed,  the Kills ... you see the list can go on and on so I'm gonna stop there.

     60's
      

11.why that decade
 
  Well to be honest  I'm really a dress kinda girl and in the 60's you got all the best cuts and lengths , from minis to bohemian floor lengths which for me are ideal . 

12.its been said that music and fashion go hand in hand, influencing one another. which is it music influencing fashion, or fashion influencing music
