THIS IS NIKKI P. ROOMMATE, FRIEND, OHIO NATIVE, GIRLFRIEND, LOVER, MODEL, SMOKER, MUSE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ON A FLIGHT TO LONDON RIGHT NOW BEFORE SHE SPENDS A FEW MONTHS WORKING IN PARIS AND MILAN, RESPECTIVELY. NIKKI P AND I HAVE A KNACK FOR THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING, AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. IT'S WHY WE ARE MOST OFTEN FOUND NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND USUALLY ON THE WAY TO, OR BACK FROM STARBUCKS. SO WHEN NIKKI P AND I FOUND OUT 72 HOURS AGO SHE WAS LEAVING TOWN, INSTEAD OF SITTING AROUND BEING BUMMED OUT, WE DROVE TWO HOURS EAST TO PALM SPRINGS WHERE I PHOTOGRAPHED MY FAVORITE MUSE FOR JUST OVER 114 MILES AND BACK.  CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO VIEW.

WELL SUMMER IS JUST STARTING HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND I LIKE IT. PEOPLE ARE HAPPY (OR HEAVILY MEDICATED), PEOPLE DRIVE WITH THEIR TOP DOWN (SOMETIMES LITERALLY LATE NIGHT DOWN HOLLYWOOD BLVD) THERE IS ROLLERBLADING, ACTUALLY ALOT OF THAT. (THE GAYEST SPORT ALIVE, UNTIL YOU SEE THEM GO BACKWARDS... THEN IT'S AWESOME) I'VE BEEN DOING NONE OF THE ABOVE BUT I HAVE BEEN APPRECIATING IT, SO MUCH SO THAT MAYBE I'LL DO A COMBINATION OF ALL OF IT?! ALTHOUGH ROLLERBLADING HEAVILY MEDICATED TOPLESS DOWN HOLLYWOOD BLVD SEEM'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE BACKWARDS.

WELL I'VE MADE IT TO CALIFORNIA. HOLLYWOOD TO BE PRECISE. THE LAND OF FRUITS AND NUTS. IN MY VERY SHORT TIME HERE I'VE REALISED THAT BEING AN L.A RESIDENT OR EVEN PASSING THROUGH REQUIRES A GOOD LEATHER JACKET, PREFERABLY BLACK AND ERA SPECIFIC (I'M GOING FOR JAMES DEAN HERE, BUT WILL SETTLE FOR 80'S MOTLEY CRUE GROUPIE) NOT HAVING ONE AND UNDER THE PRESSURES OF EAST COAST WEATHER AND A FUR FREE WEST HOLLYWOOD, MY ONLY OPTION WAS FAIRFAX MARKETS WHICH THANKFULLY COINCIDED WITH MY FIRST DAY OFF. I FOUND THIS WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES AND AM GLAD TO CALL IT MY OWN. RULING!!
