um, the title of this is from a song by my friend rachael cantu. she’s good, check her out!
anyway, it is a saturday and you may be wondering to what you owe this posting. well, first of all, every time i write a controversial post, i develop this terrible fear of dying or becoming incapacitated before i can write another, so here i am! i don’t know how i didn’t write about this already, i guess i was just SO EXCITED that i absolutely forgot, but the most hi lar ious thing happened on wednesday!
my friends and i decided it would be okay to abandon our usual wednesday queer haunt, shotgun at the eagle, for one week to check out this new girl’s night on fountain and normandie called “booby trap.” i don’t know what to say about it really. i mean, it was nice to be doing something different for a change, pretty much everyone i like was there except for a few select 9-5ers and orange county dwellers (you know who you are!), and the dj did play “red blooded woman” by kylie minogue. the prblem was it seems like the promoters are basically trying to bring a touch of the west side to the east side and that is annoying. i don’t see why someone can’t just do something different. must every lesbian bar (except shotgun) be a dark “lounge” with candles, expensive drinks, and terrible music? to be fair, there was a decent crowd there and a lot of people were dancing, but i don’t know, the crowd was weird and kind of gross. there were girls in awful hats and a lot of cheesily dressed, overly made-up femmes. not my scene. still, i will probably go back at some point. sad, right?
i was there with my friend and her girlfriend, who, as i think i mentioned once before, is a paparazzo. well, she got a tip from a friend of hers that none other than lindsay lohan was nearby at a local dive bar (like how i’m protecting her privacy? hahahahaha) with her main lez samantha ronson and no other paparazzi were there. obviously we had to race over there and see for ourselves! well, it was true. there she was, right when we walked in. just sitting there, laughing and talking with some average joe and jane looking friends. she actually looked much better in person than she looks in pics. she looked way more her age and relaxed, though it was a bit dark in there. anyway, right when we got there she slowly got up, grabbed her purse, and she and sam were off into the night! i think she recognized my friend. it was a bummer for her not to get a pic, but it was a kind of cool celeb sighting in our own neck of the woods.
after that we just went straight back to the booby trap where i smoked a bunch of cigarettes and lamented internally over the state of lesbian affairs in l.a.
it is, however, that time of year when it gets really fun to go out because a lot of people are out, everyone is in a great mood, and the weather is awesome. last year i believe i referred to this as the kickoff of “lesbian make-out season.” of course, this year i will not be drunkenly making out with any strangers or friends because i have my wonderful joe, but i am excited to be out and mingling with everyone, watching them make-out, and gossiping about it later. just kidding. sort of.
sunday my friend scarlet has planned a park day for everyone featuring soccer and a picnic, which should be super-fun. the weather has been nice and i’ve been wanting to get outside drinking beer in the park for the last four weekends, so i’m excited for this. i’ll try and take some pictures and post them here. it’s too bad sam and linds won’t be there to make my lesbian circle complete. DAMN.
