oh deer -- i lost my brooch :(




my deer brooch has inexplicably gone missing. i cannot believe that wee Flossy would have sprang from my lapel only to gambol about the cold harsh streets of london when she and i have been such good friends these past few years. i suspect that some covetous creature may have pinched it. i implore all to keep an eyeout for the precious and report back to me should they find it, that one day i may be reunited with my beloved. alternatively you could keep a lookout on ebay and buy me a replacement. . .

a rose is

if i weren't completely plastered and therefore incapable of carrying anything heavier than a clutch bag i would have walked out of the lexington club with this table under my arm

get spiritual

There really is no point in going to Chinatown unless you have a penchant either for tacky souvenirs or for dried herbs that smell like butthole, because there is fuck all else there and no one speaks English. It is however quite pretty to stroll through.
