Hello fellow clothes hoarders!

Have you seen the new reality/documentary show called “Hoarders”?!? Kind of sad but I can totally relate! My G-friend and I are quickly outgrowing our spacious 2 bedroom apartment, with every closet, cabinet, and dresser overflowing with clothing that we cant seem part with. Not even the old and ratty, or outdated piece!! Every time I try to go thru and make a pile to sell on Ebay, I wind up finding things I forgot about and then enthusiastically resurrect leaving maybe a small pile of a t-shirt or 2 that I still cant seem to bring myself to part with! Anyway such is the life of a Fashion Whore!

I hope you all had a great stuff your face day. I know I did, followed by partying all weekend, which included getting Tattooed with my brother and my dad (who just turned 70 and got his first ink)!! And then the debut show for my band “Cold Blue Rebels”. The show was great, with a packed house at The Bordello Bar, and all the bands were great and super cool! The Zombie Rebel dancers jumped off the stage and into the crowd after our second song to hand out free goodie bags courtesy of Lip Service and people grabbed em’ up like they were hundred dollar bills! Me and the guys sported some of the new “Service” line t-shirts and jackets, and spread the word to all the “Bro’s” to be ready for this line to blow up this spring at a store near you. For anyone interested you can catch us again 12/19 @ The Old Town Pub in Pasadena with The Rocketz, Faraway Boys, Inazuma, The Arkhams, and Season of Nightmares.

In Lippy news, The new rock n roll group, “Ghost Town” just arrived and is being inspected for release later this week, also our new dagger socks for girls and guys. We are adding even more offices on the receiving side of the warehouse with a new upper deck being installed as I write. These will house our production team to make it easier to work together since as of now they are scattered around in different areas. And I just finished a meeting with 1 of our new designers Henry who is working on a mens line for fall 2010 for the “Industrial/goth” guy. 2 pants 1 kind of cargo with some straps and hardwear, and 1 full blown with tons of details straps zips and hardwear. Don’t want to give it all away but the group looks great with 3 shirts, 3 jackets and a hoodie.

So here we are in the midst of the dreaded holidays again; whether ya love em’ or hate em’ its exhausting! I’m sure I’ll be a last minute shopper like every year. Maybe I should wise up and just go thru my closet and kill 2 birds with 1 stone!!

Till next week fellow Fashion Freaks and Clothes hoarders

Good morning from LS headquarters,

I am blazing thru my column this week, a bit late as I was swamped with sales yesterday and had rehearsal with my new Psycho band last night “Cold Blue Rebels” featuring Danny Dangerous and Joe Normal form the Zeros and Spaz Draztik from the Glamour Punks.

The Rebels have our 1st show this month on Saturday the 28th @ The Bordello Bar 901 E. 1st St. LA CA 90012 downtown. We will be sharing the stage with Igor Spectre, and Experiment Perilous, and debuting our raucous brand of Psychbilly with tracks such as Worm Hole Hooker, Hellblock 13, Pumpkin King and more! The theme of the night……Spooky, and if you have not been to Bordello yet you have to check it out, great ambiance with vintage kind of Victorian, burlesque vibe (sometimes burlesque dancers) with couches and nooks and a great old school bar.

Of course there will be some free giveaways courtesy of Lip service! So break out your best ghoulish attire and come have a drink with me and the rebels!

In LS news the designers are working feverishly as always on next summer and Fall styles and we had a meeting to discus some new groups including White Fishnet, a Pirate influenced group and a new Bag/purse line!! Of course, awesome stuff!

A lot of building and expanding has been going on down here with a net upper deck above the sales office to accommodate more employees and some fresh paint here and there as well as a cool spiral staircase in our blood red sales office! We just received the new Holiday posters, which are awesome and should be available on the LS retail site soon!

Well in off now to an appointment with the Pleasure Chest in West Hollywood to sell some sexy freaky LS goodies and of course do some shopping for my baby! Sorry to be brief this week but the world waits for know one and time is my enemy, oh so much to do!!
Until next week, work hard, play harder, and sleep…………never!!!
