Leslie Hall 4Ever

We went to see Leslie and the Ly's on Saturday night.



She's one of my favorite things/people. She's an amazing performer, her props and background videos are hilarious, and her merch table always woos me.

I got this t-shirt:


Leslie is now threatening P. Diddy's game and has created her own bands. The two opening acts are comprised of members of her band. Genius. Ramona and the Swimsuits and Pennyhawk.

Mona Bones, formerly a Leslie Hall backup dancer, has really stepped-up her game and was the lead singer of Ramona and the Swimsuits. We are throwing down the $5 to get that album, mostly for the song that's about Karen's dad taping COPS over her first grade talent show. It's a super-good song.


We were so happy the tiger heads came out.


Here's a geeked-out me with Mona at a show about two years ago:


I just love it so much that these girls rock the stage and rock the mic so hard and get people to go nuts for them. Just walking around, one would probably not assume that Ramona is a badass entertainer, but oh, she is.

I have better old pics here.

If you have small children and think you recognize Leslie, she has toured with Yo Gabba Gabba as herself.

The Leslie Hall show

I'm just going to put my favorite 3 and you can go to Flickr if you want more.

1. Leslie has lost weight. Kind of ruining the personae.
2. I got a pic with Mona Bonez! I have spoken to her like a geek before, this was not the first time.
3. This was at least my 4th, but perhaps my 5th Leslie Hall show.

Friday I laid in bed with the feeling of a nervous breakdown breathing down my neck over not having a job. I say this, because I didn't put on a cute outfit and contribute to wardrobe_remix. Getting dressed-up and taking pics of yourself don't cost a thing! However, I was stressing out but now I feel better.

Here's me & Bonez - I'm so happy to see her!


They now have a drummer and she added a lot to the already awesome sounds and she was a real down bitch if I ever did see one. And that's the cutest drum kit you've ever laid eyes on, I know.



Bonez is the tiger on the left.


Thursday... I got some free photos taken in Bryant Park by this photographer who I met when I first moved here. He took these old pics of me. I look at this make-up and realize how much I've been taught since I got here. This was taken in June 2007.


Some fashion blog took a pic, but you rarely find out where those end up. However, Paul's photos will be given to me and I can do whatever with them. He has a big plan to retire as a photographer out west and woo his potential clients with all the fashion-y NYC girls he shot. He's seems to be doing really well, because he shot me in between fashion shows he was covering.

I love that I got a photo shoot for the cost of round-trip BUS FARE! I've been a crazy bus-rider-lady since I quit my job. When you've got the time... riding the bus it the best way to get around, and you get to see other glamorous grannies!
- And you're not blowing dough on cabs.
