Preorder Blood, Gits & Rock N Roll

See you on the 15th!

Hello and, yes, I have survived another Hollywood weekend!

An evening of rock n roll debauchery at Bar Sinister turned out great when me and the Cold Blue Rebels invaded to rock out and mess up the stage with blood and guts (literally)!! DJ GingerFish supplied the beats to keep all the dancers grinding, and the Fet-play room was……….well playful. Big thanks to Trisha La Belle, who has been doing a great job providing the best parties in H-wood for all of us Fashion Freaks for many years and for putting up with us wrecking the patio stage on Saturday! The Zombie Rebel dancers were in rare form and Angelic had her guts ripped out live on stage! If you missed this show ya blew it ’cause it was a blast!

In Lippy news, this week marks the official launch of our Fall styles for preorders!! Stand-out groups to order before they sell out are, of course, the much anticipated “Step in Time” for all you Steamers! “Das Bunker” is a must-have for militant fashion fetishists! One of my personal favorites, “Pin me Up” for the doll to die for! Numerous new styles in our “Patent Vinyl and Vegi Leather Classics” category are adorned with custom buckles and spikes; stand-outs are the waist cincher, garter belt and a new guys’ top and trench coat! “Cyber Sniper” in black and neon pink is very next-level cyber wear. The new “Blacklist” styles are as great as always, with “Wicked Winter” wool and fur coats to keep you warm and snug. And then there’s “Brocade Piracy” in black or wine light brocade, with wine/black striped satin or black satin trims and satin shirts for guys and girls. This group has the best ruffle dandy guys’ shirt we have done for a long time!!

I am headed to Arizona next week for a sales trip thru Phoenix, Tucson and Scottsdale, and 3 shows with the Cold Blue Rebels (places and times are posted on our myspace page). I always love hitting Hydra Leather and More. If you’re in the area, check them out at 145 E. Congress, Tucson AZ 85701. It’s the best store for clothing and accessories in Tucson!

Well, that’s all for this week.
Remember … sex, drugs and rock n roll may not make ya live longer but it will keep ya smilin’ while you’re aive!
See ya

Hey Lippy Lovers,

Any reptile lovers out there?!? Angelic and I are the proud grandparents of 22 baby bearded dragons!! Anyone interested in purchasing one $35.00 contact me mickey@theoriginalcult.com!

Never a dull moment around LS headquarters! We had a visit from rock hunk Josh Todd from Buckcherry!! All the ladies here were distracted from work and passed by the dressing room area many times as a not-too-shy JT flaunted flesh and tattoos while trying on his picks from the LS line, the Rocker and Junkie fit black jeans and the new SERVICE men’s line (his favorite!!). He’s a super cool guy and was nice enough to stop and chat for a bit about BC’s upcoming tour and the rock world. He was even nice enough to pose for a couple pics donning his new favorite SERVICE of Death shirt!! (shameless plug).

Also, today we had the stylist for Paramour come by for some goodies for upcoming shoots and appearances. We have been dressing them for the last few seasons.

This Saturday, come on down to Bar Sinister for my band the Cold Blue Rebels’ return, dead gogo girls, coffin, and more blood!!! Plus special guest DJ GingerFish from Marilyn Manson!! AND, if that’s not enough … FREE GIVEAWAYS courtesy of LIP SERVICE!!!! Spring is here and it’s time to stop hibernating and head to Hollywood for some fun!!

New Lippy Summer styles are on the way and will be in stock soon, with the Erotomechanics group being the hit of the Summer!! Cyber Geiger!!! Gotta love it!!

My bandmates form Jetboy were in town last weekend for some rehearsals and quick photos to show off our new rhythm section, Jess Reckless on Bass and Jessie Mendez on drums. We had a meeting with our booking agent to discuss our plans for summer dates and got belligerent at Jerry’s deli before heading down to the Roxy for some mild debauchery!

I’ll be heading to Arizona for an LS sales trip and CBR shows at the end of the month so, if anyone knows of cool stores that need to carry LS, please let me know!

Have a great week and come on down to Bar Sin this weekend!!

The year is 2010 and a group of cyber circuit renegades have taken over the internet……….

Ok, maybe not, but can you believe it’s 2010!! Did anyone else think there would be flying cars by now?!?

Well, not yet, but we do have a whole slew of futuristic gadgetry that we sometimes take for granted! My new DJ Hero for Xbox 360 being one of them!!! (thanks sweetie luv ya)!! Even after Dj-ing in the DnB club scene for 10 years and being capable of scratching and beat juggling for real this game is still fun as hell and extremely challenging!!

Oh well bottom line is another year is gone, and a fresh new start for all of us just beginning, my mind reels with all the promise this year holds and the goals I have ahead of me. Anyone make a resolution this year?!? I did not as they don’t seem to work for me. I think setting realistic goals is a better way to approach it.

So I hope you all had an amazing NYE and managed to stay out of trouble, DUI’s jail, ect.

I definitely did with my bands show at Bar Sin on Saturday being the crescendo of my week vacation from Lip Service! Big thanks to Tricia, and Vicky for making it possible and thank you also to everyone who came to check out the Cold Blue Rebels!! It seemed like we won a lot of new fans and we put on a hell of a show with our zombie dancers, on stage coffin antics and make up to accent our Blood, Guts and Rock n Roll approach to Spookabilly!! Our sexy ass zombie rebel dancers handed out Lip Service goodies and C.B.R. cd’s which disappeared into the crowd in seconds! Also big thanks to Jim and Michele from Plastic Hassle who came out to photograph and video our show. Some of the photos are up already (see gallery links below!) with more coming soon, and the video is being edited now and will probably be up on Youtube by the time this week’s column is listed so be sure to check it out!! (webmistress note: Here it is, straight from the Cold Blue Rebels’ You Tube channel!)

We have been asked to submit a song for and upcoming Socal Psycho/Punk compilation album, more on that later!!!!

Sunday was not enough time to recuperate from days of partying and so as of today I am still hurting and struggling to make it thru the day. But the show must go on with the most hectic 2 months of the year happening in January and February. My coworkers, the other 2 sales reps, will be leaving for a fashion trade show in Hong Kong a week from Wednesday, and I will join one of them in Houston for the Halloween and Party Expo the following week so its crunch time getting all of our samples in order.

I just came out of a meeting in which I saw samples for our first latex group which will be 7 styles total, very unique and not your typical latex designs. Also the new fishnet (which will come in white) and new matte veggie vinyl designed by one of our new assistant designers Michelle Uberreste way to go Michelle! and a group tentatively called “Cyber Sniper” designed by our newest assistant designer who has just been officially added to our team after an impressive trial run as an intern. Congratulations to Michelle Moon, who will also accompany myself and sales rep Wendi McDowell to the Halloween show to debut our new packaged costume line which she was involved in designing. This first round of 10 costume styles will be sure to impress and give retail stores another option to dress up there boring “Leg Avenue” filled walls!! You know Lippy will do it better with more and more styles added each season.

That’s all for this week fashion freaks, Drew just cracked the whip and I must now JUMP!!!

More Cold Blue Rebels show photos!

We just can’t enough of checking out photos from the Cold Blue Rebels show at Bar Sinister this weekend! If you’re itching for more shots of Mickey, Danny, Joe, Spazz, and the zombie coffin dancers in action, here’s just the thing for you … more fucking pictures!

You’re welcome.

Here is the original MASSIVE stage photos gallery!

Check out the Lip Service event photos, too!

The Cold Blue Rebels utterly rocked Bar Sinister Saturday night! Lip Service webzine was there to snap as many photos as possible, film some video, and rock out to some badass phychobilly. As expected, Mickey Finn and the rest of the Rebels (Danny Dangerous on stand-up bass, Joe Normal on guitar, Spazz Draztik on drums) have put together a tight set of kick-ass songs. (Check out their tracks at their MySpace page.)

The night started with some drinking, meeting Cold Blue Rebel and Lip Service friends, and chatting while we met new people and snapped pics. Then, Constans took the stage to announce the show! The guys kicked into a raging set of brand new songs (they’re only a few months old, so it’s all new!) backed up by the sexy zombie coffin dancers.

Mid-way through the set, the dancers joined the throng to give out some Lip Service swag bags, which went damn fast! Mickey gave some CDs out from the stage and you wuld have thought they were cash from the rush of people shoving to grab a disc. Seriously, I was barely able to get a photo for all the shoving I was subjected to up front!

After their set of original tunes, the guys kicked into a wailing rendition of Folsom Prison Blues to wrap up a killer show. The crowd was screaming for more. I have to agree … I can’t wait to hear what they come out with next!

All in all, it was awesome night to kick off the new year with a fucking bang! Hope those of you who joined us had as good a time as we did and those who couldn’t make it join us for the next one. Cold Blue Rebels are definitely a band you want to see live! Keep your eye here on the ‘zine (and Mickey’s Corner) for new dates.

See you next time!

Check out the stage photo galleries from the Cold Blue Rebels show!

This is a special edition of Mickey’s Corner, for all of you who couldn’t be there at the Cold Blue Rebels show at Bar Sinister Saturday night. Here’s a taste … There are a LOT more photos, as well as lots of video. We’ll go through them all to get them out to you as soon as we can. Keep your eye on the ‘zine this week for more updates!

More Cold Blue Rebels show photos!

You’ve done the living room parties, you’ve trolled the same-ol’ same-ol’ club scene, and you crave something different, something funkaliciously new to ring in the new year. Can’t blame you. There’s nothing more suck than starting a fresh, new year with a snooze-fest.

Well, I’m here to help you find the freaky New Year’s Eve of your fevered fantasies!

Let’s start with LUSTFUL fun, since … well … that’s my favorite kind of kicks.

London, UK
Toture Garden New Years Eve Ball
How does a kinky fetish party with stage performances, naughty installations complete with cages and pole dancing podium, and what the organizers refer to as the Budoir Dungeon sound? Pretty yummy, eh?

Los Angeles
The Black & White Masquerade Ball
Our friends at Bar Sinister never fail to come up with a fab night of dark debauchery. This one has goth charm, alongside fetish fun, with play stations to start the year with a bang (or at least a nice crack or slap).

Miss Kitty’s 2010 New Year’s Eve: A Space Sex Odyssey
Oh, fuck yes! Want to party like Barbarella on a dirty bender? Well, this is just the place for it. Miss Kitty’s has set up a futuristic disco brothel, complete with live erotic interplanetary shows, interactive pleasure stimulation areas, and … HOT DAMN! … male and female sex-bots!

Toronto, CA
SubSpace
Sure, every place has its own fetish New Year’s bash. But SubSpace has a pretty yummy one with a killer rep. Want tp get your freak on in the Toronto area? This is probably the most sexy place to do it.

Miami
Vivid’s Sex Sells
Want to rock in 2010 with some porn stars? Mega-porn giant Vivid and Opium at the Seminole Hard Rock have your perfect New Year’s Eve all ready for you!

Nude Year’s Eve
Want to let it all hang out … I mean, literally, let it ALL hang out? Then the weekend butt-naked extravaganza at South Florida’s most well-known clothing-optional beach might just be your thing. Be warned, though, not all naked is created equal … some sights make you really grateful for the existence of clothes … just sayin’ …

Speaking of clothes, there are a few tasty options in the “fancy dress” category …

Alton, IL
Bubby & Sissy’s, an open-minded kinda place
How the fuck can you beat a fabulous drag show for unbridled fun? You can’t! This looks like a wonderful island of fab, sparkly sanity in the midst of what seems a pretty rural area so, if you’re anywhere nearby, maybe their New Year’s Eve party is just the thing to kick the ear off with some dragalicious kicks!

Edinburgh (South Queensferry), Scotland
The Loony Dook
Okay, you’ve got me, Loony Dook is actually a New Year’s Day event, but it is part of the New Year’s weekend Hogmanay party/drunkfest so is fair game. Besides, how can one NOT love the hell out of a whole fuckload of Scots getting all dressed up in fancy dress costume, parading their asses down to the Firth of Forth in the cold, then plunging into the water for a frolic? Tell me that’s not a polar bear event with fucking killer style!

Speaking of love, how else do you think Venetians would celebrate the New Year?

Venice, IT
Love 2010
Sure, there’s a big, wonderful concert, dancing, and festivities but Love 2010 takes it up a notch on the LOVE. According to their website, “Once again, the New Year celebrations will culminate in a vast, communal kiss between over 60,000 people.” Pucker up!

There’s also some really great themed parties out there, ones that go well above and beyond to give you a night and experience you’ll not soon forget. Here are just a few examples of funky fun for the more adventurous …

Austin, TX
Welcome to the Freak Show
Like your fun with a circus freak edge to it? Welcome to the Freak Show might be right up your alley.

London, UK
Gypsy Hotel
How can you resist anyplace that refers to themselves and their event as a, “Bourbon Soaked Snake Charmin Rock’n'Roll Cabaret and Freaky Side Show?” Easy, you fucking can’t!

Los Angeles, CA
NYETwentyTen – Space Odyssey
Super-futuristic with a frick’n geodesic dome? New Year’s Eve funkadellic WIN!

Newport, RI
New Year’s Murder Mystery at Astors’ Beechwood Mansion
What better way to have a killer night than spending the night with a killer? In the gorgeous Beechwood Mansion, you join the Astors for a night a theater, cut short by an untimely death, and get to try to solve a murder case.

Your taste even more exotic?
How about a night of sumptuous Indian cuisine, henna tattoos, and fabulously infectious music? You can get your festive Bollywood on at Brompton, Ontario’s New Year ‘s Eve Bollywood Extravaganza or, if you’re here in Cali, you can do New Year’s Eve Bollywood Style at Junnoon in Palo Alto.

Now that we’ve explored the rational vice-y options for your New Year’s Eve, want to hear the most fucked up NYE package, ever? Of course you do.

What would you say to round-trip air from NY to Miami with 5-star accomodations, a cheuffer-driven Rolls to the three hottest shows and parties in town (Lady Gaga, John Legend, and Brody Jenner) for the mere paltry sum of $100,000.

What if I told you that it also includes a fucking boob job? Told you it was a fucked up package.

Speaking of fucked up, I must share something really funny I came across in my searching for tasty info for this article. Please enjoy the beautiful insanity that is Google …

And, one last parting shot …

I hear, according to tradition in Bolivia, you really want to choose your NYE and New Year’s Day undies with care. Apparently, the color of your drawers will determine your fate in the coming year. Red will give you love & passion, yellow is happiness and money, green prosperity, pink for friendship, and white for hope.

Wonder what it means if you fly commando …

Whatever the new year brings, hopefully it’s all good!
It’s been a kickass year, sharing all the news of Lip Service with you all. 2010 looks to be an even more exciting year, with lots and lots of killer events and goodies to celebrate our 25th year.

Thanks for helping us get there and being part of our Original Cult of Fashion Freaks!
