“Paris Calling” Bastille Day at Justine’s is imminent, and given
how much fun we had last year, I can’t wait to see what kind of magic this year’s celebration will hold…
Justine’s is so, so special – an amazing French brasserie where you can order a steak & frites and champagne
at 1:00 in the morning,and where beautifully themed parties are hosted all year, attracting flamboyantly costumed
guests like swarms of elegant moths to a lantern. I love it there so much, and I was thrilled to be a part of their Valentine’s
celebration back in February – a Marquis de Sade themed evening, which as you can imagine was rife with naughtiness
and carnal mischief! If you are sensitive to naked body parts (including mine!) or at work, you may want to stop now.

This video makes me so happy! It really captures how beautiful the night was, and utilizes one of my very favorite songs…


Wonderful polaroid by Tim Pipe. I love the jaguar in the background.

I helped organize dancers for the delightful peepshow booth that night. Oh my, it was naughty indeed!
Sassy, Raven, Amelia, Johna, Maria and the two Jays kept the voyeurs very entertained. Shades could be lifted
or drawn from within, and tips could be slid in through a slot under that window
Still wishing I managed to keep a hold on my commemorative Justine’s paddle that night. It’s nice to make a mark.

Look at that mischievous grin! You can tell that Amelia’s been up to no good…

It was Mistress Stephanie’s birthday that night – lucky me got to administer her birthday spankings!

We dined on duckhearts, oysters and sumptuous chocolates – divine decadence, in every sense.

To top it all off, I have honor of judging the BEST FUCKING DRESSED contest!
The prizes are pretty amazing:
1st BLOODY BEAUTIFUL PRIZE:
A glass of whiskey ON THE HOUSE every day of your life until the end of time at Justine’s!
2nd PRIZE:
ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, 2LP Enigma Records 1983.
Very rare double album of spoken word pieces and music by HENRY ROLLINS (BLACK FLAG),
MIKE WATT & D.BOON (MINUTEMEN), JOHN DOE (X), CHARLES BUKOWSKI, KIM FOWLEY,
and countless others. Cover features art by legendary punk artist Raymond Pettibon.
Only a handful were pressed in 1983 and this release has been out of print ever since.
Now considered one of the most rare of Pettibon album art releases, cover remains in
excellent condition with both records (all four sides) pristine near mint.
3rd PRIZE:
In 1999, photographer Nan Goldin, conceptual artist Damien Hirst, conceptual artist
Christopher Chiappa, and advertising executives from R.J.Reynolds Tobacco Co.,
began a partnership that defied any sort of industry standard. The art-world and
ad-world elites became entangled during the creation of a one-of-a-kind, test-marketing
campaign for Camel brand cigarettes. The limited edition, signed, rare 1999 Nan Goldin
pack is in excellent condition, and a collector’s item.
