Holy Glam Rock Batman!!!

The M3 Festival in Maryland kicked ass this weekend!! 16 bands and 15,000 hard-core hair-heads gathered for 1 day of fun in the sun!! My band, Jetboy, played at 12 noon on the main stage as everyone was arriving and, despite the fact it was around 100 degrees, I still had a great time!! Highlights were great sets by Kix, Cinderella, Vince Neil, and Scorpions. It’s refreshing to get out of LA to a place like Baltimore. All the people I met were so cool and friendly, the vibe was truly great and violence or trouble was virtually nonexistent.

I got to hang out a bit with former LS designer Karen Shultz (still one of the best LS designers ever), who is an 80’s lover, and she texted me she was watching some 12 year olds bangin’ their heads to my song Feel the Shake!! All I can say is, if you haven’t dug deep and embraced your inner 80’s rocker, please do so. It was a truly glorious time and, of course, spawned the birth of our favorite clothing brand LIP SERVICE!!! Don’t be too cool … it’s just GLAM!!! Love it for its cheesy goodness!!

Wednesday 13 and the Murderdolls in Mickey Finn's Corner of the Lip Service webzine

Also last week, I had a visit from my friend Wednesday 13 and the Murderdolls. They played at the Key Club Thursday night plus had a video shoot on Friday and needed some new clothes, so I hooked em’ up proper!!! Super nice guys! We hung out for a while and they told me some great stories about recent partying in Hollywood!! It’s great to see such an awesome band back together and I wish them all the luck and good fortune they deserve. Their show kicked ass and Wednesday came onstage in a Division LS military trench coat he fell in love with on his shopping spree!!

Well, needless to say, my 40-something year old body is wrecked from a decadent weekend of little sleep and massive partying, so I’m gonna leave it at that and crawl home after another day in the life of a Lip Service Rep/Rock Star!!!!

Incidentally, the LS Holiday line has an awesome Rock n Roll group called This Corrosion which is badass and would have fit into the 80’s rock scene perfectly!!!
Have a rockin’ week!

Hey Fashion Freaks,

I hope you’re all getting ready for a weekend of hard partying to work off the extra pounds gained by the gluttonous gorging Thanksgiving brings! After some bargain brawling on Black Friday, hit the town for one of the many dance parties happening, Clockwork is a fun one I like to hit every so often.

Then, on Saturday, don’t forget to check out the debut of my new band “Cold Blue Rebels” when we will dish out our brand of Psychospookabilly for Tiger Mask events with Igor Spectre and Experiment Perilous @ The Bordello Bar downtown! The Rebel Dancers will be handing out freebies courtesy of Lip Service thru out the night!!! So come have a drink with us and don’t be afraid to hit me up for the latest inside dirt on the Lip Service world. (After I’m drunk is a good time!!).

In other band news my, Rock n Roll outfit JETBOY are currently auditioning drummers, and bass players for what promises to be a busy 2010 following the release of our new record on Rocket Science Records. Interested parties should contact the band via myspace, or the official band website.

Anyone who has been down to the LS warehouse in the last 10 or so years might have noticed my friend and co-worker Mr Arturo, working as our receiver, fork lift driver and the everything “go to guy” around the warehouse. He has started a business making Coffin shaped furniture and does and awesome job! I have 3 Coffin shelving units in my house and a 7’ long Coffin Reptile cage that he made for my 12lb. Lizard Malakai. He also does wall cabinets, nightstands, jewelry boxes, coffee tables and will build customs to order for your imagination and hearts desires! Interested clients can contact me here at 323-260-7308 EXT. 214.

I just came out of a long meeting to discus and see some early samples of next years Military themed group from the famed Division LS. Awesome stuff as always, this time will be a poplin and cracked, semi gloss Vinyl, with custom made buttons and dark colored metallic chains.

Holiday styles have been arriving this week and the and the feedback from customers on the “Caged” group is that it’s a big hit already! Ghost Town is a big hit with our Rock n Roll crowd and should be in and shipping by the end of the month.

Well gang I hate to be brief but I’m off to a production meeting, and then out of here to search for the biggest turkey I can buy along with all the fixins’ for tomorrows feast! Have a happy one and don’t hesitate to “eat too much” cause next week its back to the grind and starbucks for breakfast! Enjoy it while you can then dance it off this weekend!!

Hope to see you at Bordello on Saturday!
