christmas in l.a.


green like a christmas tree

i’m sitting here in my west hollywood apartment, with music blaring, and all the windows open, bleaching the hell out of my frazzled sidehawk hair, in pure denial that christmas is actually here.

ok, stop staring at the picture. it’s one-part aunt jamima, one-part unshaven brokeback mountain, one-part member of kraftwerk [the glasses], one-part council chav [the chain]. i’m here to talk about christmashannukwanza with you.

what’s christmas like in l.a.?

the laugh factory [famous comedy club] is advertising free christmas dinner and toys for comedians, actors and the hollywood community alone this holiday—being alone is no joke.

on my sofa is a friend recovering from plastic surgery, popping pain medication while watching some reality teevee and chatting deliriously on her cell phone.

standing in the queue at the post office today to send off the last batch of my holiday mix cds, i couldn’t help but laugh at the 3 faux-celebrities in front of me, each with incredibly large dior sunglasses, 8 layers of baggy clothes, perfectly-manscaped facial hair, and/or dogs.

overheard conversations from same faux-celebrities about how cold it was at their beachhouse in miami [girl! 47 degrees! hellllll no!], about the amazing party at the roosevelt later this evening, or about how they were hoping to get a new hummer for christmas.

after that, i strolled down santa monica boulevard, sweating in the sun wearing only a t-shirt, and brought my buddy .greg an iced caramel macchiato. we sat in the living room of his new apartment, gossiping about new years plans.

and now, final preparations for christmas festivities, which will probably be shared by two jews, one atheist, one laggard christian and lil’ ole, generically-spiritual me.

with fucking brilliant bleached hair, thankyouverymuch. hoping to get myself a hummer this evening, ifyouknowwhatimean.

not very christmassy

it’s petty and retarded myspacey to bitch about friends that you know will read your blog. and, by myspacey i really mean the ragan fox definition, but i guess the actual myspace definition also applies.

i’ve been struggling to find my way in west hollywood. what the fuck do i want? schmoozy, pretentious cocktail bars where i can stand in line to seduce brian singer and the editors of genre? sleazy, faux-frat-boy dives with unhappy, overly-botoxed, under-fake-tanned future circuit queens? stumbling, horny, verge-on-vomiting go-go boy ooglers? sigh. double-sigh.

there are several varying levels of suck when it comes to a night out.

it would have sucked if we couldn’t find any place fun. we found a myriad cornucopia of fun places tonight.

it would have sucked if we didn’t run into anyone. we ran into a gaggle of work colleagues. fun.

it would have sucked if we weren’t happy with our choice of venue, or if we had argued over where to end up. but, we didn’t. in fact, i forsaked my top two choices to end up at a sleazy dive bar.

at said sleazy dive bar, within 5 minutes of stumbling in, i saw not one, not three, but five lovely ladies with whom i made eyes at. tall lanky latin boy, tall lanky floppy blond boy, tall spikey [slightly cross-eyed] boy, short latin boy, and super-innocent blond surfer boy.

yet, somehow, my partner in crime left me. and, somehow, i didn’t have the wherewithal to stay and stroll and stand awkwardly in the whirlwind of passing bodies in the crowd. smiling bodies. goofily horny bodies. future-ex-boyfriend bodies.

grumble. that’s the problem with best friends. you deal with the same issues as a married couple, but without the sex or the ring on the finger.

where’s my ring, bitch?

new jonny moirée mixes

my hero, my idol, my alter ego, superstar deejay jonny moirée has been quite busy over the past few weeks. 3 updates:

london holidaze 2003

the most popular mix among my london friends is the 3-disc set i made for christmas a few years ago, encapsulating a hedonistic weekend of clubbing. since the .popstarz, .heaven and .beyond mixes were jonny’s very first mixes, after listening to them for the 200th time, jonny has finally decided to remaster, remix and clean up the mixes. cleaner mixes, higher-quality sound, and a new bonus track squeezed into each of the friday, saturday and sunday mixes. check out the london holidaze page to download the mixes, or subscribe to the podcast.

mashed bangers volume 2

mashed bangers volume 1 is arguably my most famous mix, with bootleg copies being sold on ebay, and people emailing me, trying to chase down the original tracks. volume 1 featured 21 mashup tracks, representing 47 songs from 45 artists. volume 2 should be available for download just in time for your new years eve partying, with some of 2005’s hottest bangers mashed up with some peculiar classics. check back in a few days, or subscribe to the podcast.

winter warmer holiday mix 2005

it wouldn’t be the holidaze without a fresh mix from jonny. the limited edition winter warmer holiday mix 2005 compilations got mailed out today. hopefully my american friends will receive them before the end of the year, and my friends on other continents should receive them in early january. i’ll be posting the mixes, the stories and the photos online for the rest of jonny moirée’s fans in mid-january.

you will get all of these mixes automatically onto your ipod, in itunes, or in your news reader, by simply subscribing to the jonny moirée podcast.

baby got, backstreet’s, the mcrib is

hey you, i’ve been really busy

getting my boat and my

helicopter ready, you see,

my friends are coming over

for a little dance

i’ve got lots to do

to get ready.

[i'll be back in a little bit...]

connotation

i’m off to phoenix to pick up .greg aka .gregiño.

my good buddy.

no, buddy has weird, sexual connotations in the gay world. a buddy is someone who you text message on a tuesday night on your way home from the pub. a buddy is someone you see standing in the cloakroom queue at 343am as they’re chucking everyone out of .popstarz.

my friend.

no, friend doesn’t really give propers to the magnitude of our relationship. .greg was pretty much the only american i bonded with in my four years in london. we were partners in crime. traveled around the globe. pulled each other up from the gutter. lived together.

my cousin.

i invented the adjective cousin to help explain the friendly, flirty-but-platonic friendships i was amassing soon after hitting the scene in london. out clubbing with michael and marky and andrew 4, 5, sometimes 6 nights a week, the general populous [e.g. boys i wanted to pull] would get confused. erm, mate, who’s that guy that you’re always hugging and whispering to? oh, that’s just my cousin michael, i’d explain.

but, since i have actual cousins living in l.a., that would just complicate matters.

my sister.

oh, that’s a bit gay, innit? i think that’ll have to do, though. i’m on my way to phoenix to pick up my sister .greg… someone who knows just about all of my deep dark secrets, someone who consistently and constantly cheers me up, cracks me up, smacks me up, and someone who i never in a million years thought i’d be living with in america.

watch out l.a. no, really, i mean it.
