THROWBACK THURSDAY: Loren (Goddollars) & I circa 2005? Photo by Shawn Smith.
Sitting atop my Rhondavous stage before we tore it up that night.
And by “tore it up” I do mean literally.
”DJ Harvey (Sarcastic Disco) spun while club host Gregory Alexander pranced around in skimpy get-ups engaging attendees “ yup.
THE Los Angeles Times DOES A PIECE ON HOW THE COACHELLA OFF-SITE PARTIES, INCLUDING MY OWN “RHONDA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT,” ARE BECOMING JUST AS IMPORTANT FOR ANGELENOS AS THE FESTIVAL ITSELF. PICK UP A COPY TODAY.
These are apparently the only two pictures I took on my Diana during the Rhonda party in Palm Springs. The rest of the time I was either working or intoxicated or both.
I found an old roll of film while cleaning out (mostly throwing away) the closet in my old room at my parents house this weekend. After developing it I discovered it was from freshman year of High School, and apparently during my brief stint with smoking. I’m glad that didn’t stick. I can’t remember the name of the girl in the second photo (I’m horrible I know) but she was my good friend for like a year before she got sent to a different school. We are both wearing polo shirts because we went to a private Catholic high school. I believe she started me on smoking and I know she started my abuse of prescription pills; she used to steal them from her mother’s medicine cabinet. I used to have a crush on her boyfriend who went to a different school, especially after she’d shown me some nearly nude pictures of him that she took. They were already sexually active. I lost my virginity later that year, to a man of course. I think I came out that same year, but only to my friends, my parents caught wind the next year I believe.
