please take a moment to Rock the F out to - Iggy & The Stooges

I woke up this morning with Iggy Pop's "I wanna be your dog" [posted below] stuck in my head, which meant I was ready to rock the instant I got up. I think it was due to the fact I've been thinking about Iggy for the past week since he's on the cover of The Miami New Times this week and gives a positively fantastic interview and shares his feelings on the state of rock and roll.

A few summer's ago I was at Gardener's Market in South Miami picking up lunch when I spotted a gentleman that looked a lot like Mr. Pop. I went to the hardware store next door to get a key copied, and as I fidgeted in line I said aloud "OMG that was Iggy Pop what the fudge are you still doing here." As I rushed back to Gardener's he was checking out as I walked in, I was so overwhelmed and busy wondering what the King of Punk was was doing in The 305, let alone in my favorite haunt that I didn't know what to say to him as I approached him. Coincidentally I was wearing a Stooges t-shirt that day [I was taking a History of Rock course during the summer along with an actual requirement,] and he pointed right at my chest and said "Hey that's me!" I chatted him up after that and will never get over how cool he was, or the fact that he was wearing a a suit vest as a top, a pair of shorts that most likely were pants at some point and a single flip flop. Now ladies and germs enjoy...

I was uploading a bunch of pictures the other day when I came across these snaps of Whit, dressed up as a chicken at Art Walk a few months back. From what I remember it was for work , though she was really excited to do it...

Which of course totally reminded me of when Marc Jacobs dressed up like a pigeon a few years ago for his notorious Holiday party. Whit also informed me that Langerado has been cancelled, which really sucks, because it would have been great for the City. And after working with one of the creators (who I'm a huge personal fan of & Facebook stalk on the regular) I can only wish them the best and hope they come back next year better than ever!

& yes that is Andre Leon Talley next to him

Herpes and Love Affair

so Hercules and Love Affair did a DJ set at The Vagabond and it was pretty meh, like most DJ sets are. the staff of the bar were in togas and wore laurels (my secret favorite fashion accessory,) and for some reason there was a Drag Queen.

and "The New Times" photographer was there and took a bunch of pictures you can see here.

and here is Hercules & Love Affair's "Blind"

and "Hercules's Theme"
