Mookie says, pt 2, LA lines:

A follow-up to the aforementioned study of LA behavioral despair:

I decided to spend approximately 3 hours sandwiched between hipster A and photog-blog-mod B, in a town called Hollywood. 
Ah, nightlife... all in the name of science.

The following statements have NOT been changed to protect the innocent.
During a Tuesday night at Dim Mak's packed Cinespace party between the hours of 11 pm and 2 am PST only two people spoke to me.
This is what they said:
1. Are you holding that seat?
2. Are you Alex Holmes' sister?

For the purpose of proving a point, Will and I conducted a study of the "Yo Ma" phenomenon known in NY. Somewhere between the hours of 11 pm and 2 am EST, on a similar Tuesday night, I ventured to Harlem via the A train. Walked a few blocks through the empty projects (it was a chilly night) and arrived at a stoop across the street from a deserted playground.
I got my first "Yo Ma" about 1 minute after I got to the door. I don't know where it came from - I couldn't see anybody on the street. 10 seconds after that, I got an anonymous "Yo shorty" - likely from a window.

Conclusion: 
Within about 5 minutes you can get picked up out of nowhere in NY's projects.
In LA, you're lucky if someone spills a drink on you.

Keep it simple...



Jordans or vans or dunks or nike SBs, denims, and a white tee.

If you don't know, now you know











These dames had it down. 
Butter and booze in all the food. 
Sometimes the fall of great things goes under the radar... 
Ten days before her death 9 years ago, Jennifer Paterson had met with her friend and colleague Clarissa Dickson Wright, who had brought caviar. 

"She didn't see the point of flowers - she'd rather have caviar."

Here's a WAY delayed tribute.

RIP VIP 1999
