Good afternoon,

Today's new gallery in the Playhouse is suffused with whiteness, fluffiness, and light. Was I floating on a cloud in heaven? No. I was inside a bastion of celebrity-stalking foreign tourists. It's in Hollywood (maybe West Hollywood?) and it's called the Mondrian Hotel. One of my friends likes to refer to it as "Disneyland on the Gaza Strip." If you've been to the place then you know why.

I look quite happy in the photos. That's because photographer Gucci Lamour (www.guccigirls.com) and I vomited in the lobby together when we found out that was where we were shooting. Then we locked the door to our little white room behind us and all of a sudden it seemed funny that the powers-that-be had booked the shoot there.
