Hey party people, hope you’re all enjoying a fabulous week!

Things for me have switched from high gear to warp drive this week! But, as they say, I guess I’ll rest when I’m 6 ft deep! My schedule for March and April is starting to look ridiculous, with Lip Service sales trips 2-3 days a week throughout Southern California, then heading up to Northern Cali, and out of state to Arizona, Washington, and Oregon … all by the first week of May.

Add in shows with my band, Cold Blue Rebels, every weekend including St. Patrick’s day @ the Roxy with TSOL/DI/DR Know, Bakersfield with the Mentors/Voodoo Glow Skulls, 3 dates in Vegas, and a bunch more, plus a showcase with my other band Jetboy @ the Viper room to kick off the release of our new EP that came out on March 2nd and as I said … no rest for Mickey!! AND THIS JUST MIGHT KILL ME!! Hahaha!!

At the same time, I do love it!! I have an appointment with one of my favorite LA stores tomorrow, Forgotten Saints on Melrose. If you have not checked this store out, please do. I could spend a fortune in there and they carry a great selection of Lip Service styles!

I am super-excited to say that next week we will get a visit from Michael Monroe and Sami Yaffa of Hanoi Rocks!!! They have a new band together and are playing a couple dates in LA. Old friends of mine and Drew’s (Sami played bass in my band Jetboy), we will hook them up with new LS duds for their tour and take some photos for press.

Today I had a visit from Todd Youth (Danzig, Motorhead, etc.), who was scheduled to be in Michael Monroe’s band but, as I learned today, it didn’t work out and he is instead heading out on tour in Ace Frehely’s (Kiss) band! He hooked up some LS clothes for the tour and brightened up the girls’ day at the warehouse!

In LS news, if I have not mentioned it, we will debut a brand new lingerie line at the ILS show in Vegas in April. The group will consist of 10-15 pieces and first glimpses are Hot Hot Hot!!! Also we are happy to welcome back to the sales staff Bryn Thomas, who left us a few years back and has returned to take over the east coast and mid west territory. We worked the Vegas show with him and he is fun to work with and an asset to our team.

Big thanks again to Jim and Mich at Plastic Hassle for the great job they did producing the video for my band Cold Blue Rebels, which is now on Youtube and will be posted on the LS site as well!!! I should have some great photos next week from my band’s gig this weekend @ Universal Bar and Grill and the Mike Monroe shoot but, untill then, here’s a few fun ones from home with my girl (and LS model) Angelic and our pet Dragon Malakai, who is getting soooo big at 2 years old that she can barely hold him any more!

Till next week work hard play hard!!

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!!!
