Hey Lippy lovers!
Missed ya last week, when I was on the road all through the Bay area hitting Santa Cruz, SF, Oakland, Berkeley, and Sacramento meetin’ and greetin’ fashion freaks and selling the goods we all know and love! Sure I know what you’re sayin’, “What a great job I have,” and that’s true. But on the reality side I lug around four 50lb. garment bags and a rolling rack, thru airports, down busy city sidewalks, in and out of hotels and, let me tell you, after a week of hauling everything around I’m not feeling glamorous, I need a massage and a trip to the chiropractor! Oh well I guess that’s why they call it work!
Anyway, trip highlights included visiting Mr.S/Madam S Leather in SF, amazing high end Fetish store with a great staff and selection, seriously top notch for all your sinful pleasures! And of course Haight St is always fun, although not as good as 10-15 years ago! Daljeets and punk institution for over 30 years has just closed its doors, a sad reflection of the economy. A couple rehearsals with my band mates from Jetboy who reside in the city and back home for a day before heading out to the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly weekender!

Viva Las Vegas was great fun, with vendors selling all the best new and vintage fashion styles, Hot Rod show, and great bands. I did tons of Promoting for our “Service” mens wear line and my band “Cold Blue Rebels” played the famous and grungy Double Down Saloon and Diablo’s Cantina w/ Guana Bats. Great shows and an all around great weekend.
This week I had my friends Todd Kerns from the Sin City Sinners and now Slash’s new band in the LS warehouse with Bobby the second guitar player. We hooked them up with a bunch of LS clothes to play on the Jay Leno show tonight and later In the week the Craig Ferguson show, and the George Lopez show!
This weekend, it’s back to Vegas for a show at the Dive Bar with my band CBR, and then the International Lingerie Show, where we will debut our brand new Lip Service Lingerie line!! And word is … Hosiery is on the way next!! I should hve some great photos when next we meet of hot lingerie, so stay tuned for the edition of Mickey’s Corner!
