Jessica, Michelle and me. How freaking amazing does Michelle look?! Jessica and I are idiots and just look like we’re dressed to go clubbing or something. We do not own any elegant ladylike clothing.

And these were Michelle’s bad ass shoes. This lady seriously blows me away with her sweet ass DIY style.

Exploring the hotel with Jessica and Yume. There was a high school prom happening that night, which we were trying to spy on because we wanted to see all the pretty dresses. We weren’t able to crash the actual prom, but we did get to see a constant stream of girls coming in and out of the bathroom in their sparkly gowns and tiaras. Then we stopped spying because I realized I’m a creepy lady in my ’30s loitering around high schoolers. Someone call security!

Last year we were one of the sponsors of Natalia Fabia’s awesome Miss Hooker beauty pageant at the Dragonfly. I didn’t get any pictures of the actual pageant because I was standing in the back behind some guy’s giant head, but here are the few pics I did take!

Lumi, Natalia and me. Natalia was suuuuuper pregnant and looked amazing!

Ran into Debbi who looked super gorgeous, and got to meet Missy, one of my very first Myspace friends from seriously a decade ago! It was so crazy that we remembered each other. She is as beautiful and sweet in person as I remembered her being online!

Amelia and Val are hot girls doing stuff.

Death Guild has been around for aaaages and is currently the oldest goth club in America that is still operating. I remember going there when I was an 18-year-old college freshman. We’d party till 3am, get back to the dorms at 4am, then wake up at 6am to make it to class. Geez, I just realized that was 14 years ago, which makes me hella old! I am a total grumpypants if I don’t get 8 hours of sleep these days.

After dropping Val and Amelia off at Bar Sinister for setup, Yume, Michelle, Kevin and I had appetizers and drinks next door at Boardners.

Industrial Girl Bike Gang is hands down THE most fun DJ duo to watch! These chicks get all crazy with their robot dance moves.

We were counting down the days to this show because it was Angelspit’s first time playing my hometown Oakland (woo!). I’d just met their new bandmate Val the week prior and couldn’t wait to see the new Angelspit with extra girly energy. Not only that, my friend Michelle was in town from L.A. as Blood on the Dance Floor’s photographer, and it was my first time meeting Ash Costello of New Years Day, whom I’d been friends with online. Whewwww!

Tess, Amelia, me and Michelle

Super sweet Ashley
