DECADENCE AND BATCAVE

DECADENCE over at the Gardenwalk near Disneyland was completely WONDERFUL!!! Where else can you walk the red carpet, see Cirque Bezerk live, Vaude and the Villains and get all the absinthe you want and try out all the different foods from all the hottest spots in Orange County? Hosted by OC Weekly Annually…They totally outdid themselves this year.
In all honesty this is an annual event hosted by OC Weekly in support of the Charity The Make A Wish Foundation…Of which I heartily Support and encourage everyone else to as well.
From 7pm till Midnight, there was the girls from the Long Beach Roller Derby, signing up my girls for tryouts. Stilt walkers, Fire dancing, Ballet Dancers… and free booze. Did I mention the free booze yet?
I found Tiffany towards the end of the evening leaning over (IN CORSET) the Watermelon vodka shot booth while a bartender was attempting to pour shots in her mouth…and actually succeeded!
My girls: Tiffany, Mel and Kitten looked like the most decadent people there dressed in black from head to toe…smashing! We rocked that place…
At one point we were all hanging out with the girls from the Green Door Saloon, recently dubbed “OC’s Bar of the Year” by Last Call Magazine. They placed their table right next to the free photo booth…heh heh
We all ended up in the photo booth entertaining the people in line.
As far as the food goes, I admit I loved Commonweath in Fullertons food (YUM!) but as far as sweet treats go: I FELL IN LOVE with Black Market Bakery from Irvine. Oh my lordie! Rum cake….Rocky Gonache…Then I also fell in complete LOVE again (I’m fickle) with Dolce Monachelli’s…Chocolate Kahlua? Amaretto Del Orso? Italian Butter Rum? Coconut Apricot Brandy?!??!?? MOUTHGASM!!!!
….I gotta watch the food channel from now on to get horny it was just THAT GOOD!!!!
I also tried the various Sake Vodkas from Ty-Ku… Melon TY-Ku Liqueur my personal favorite…if you get the chance try what they call it “AN AFTER GLOW”? That’s TYKU Liqueur, Vodka/TKU SOJU…a squeeze of Lemon and a splash of Diet Citrus Soda. Yummers!
The DJ was Fantastic…I LOVE 80’s music…and you know you scare the normies when the goth chicks arrive and BOOM! The DJ puts on the CURE, Depeche Mode, Siouxie, and all that good music that made neon BURN and Fishnet RULE!
And then…it happened…somewhere between my watermelon shots , Sake Vodka, Grand Mariner Absinthe, and some Fabulous nom noms from Kya…..And a WONDERFUL bacon/sirloin burger made by the hand of a friend of Kittens…it happened…
I think I registered for Highlife Adventures Singles Club.
I think I may be skydiving in a few weeks…gasp. I’m not sure. Now that I have woken up from my eyeliner dreams and had one of my famous absinthe “Green Outs”…I’ll explain sometime…
it’s either skydiving or white water rafting…double gasp.
I do know however I am not joining rollerderby…I cheer from the sidelines for that…
After a TON of LITERAL DECADANCE and getting my eyebrows estimated for threading and lots of pressies in my gift bag…BINDIS!!
I found myself in the MelMobile on the way to HOLLYWOOD to the dragonfly lounge (6510 Santa Monica Blvd..see Kitten I got it right FINALLY) to BATCAVE! Where 45 Grave was performing…and in celebration of Dinah Cancer’s 50th Birthday….of which we found out that I guess her birthday is NEXT week and I must find her a LARGE PEZ DISPENSER Shaped like the DEATH STAR…
Lucien of Drunkrockers was there (aka MY BOSS of DRUNKROCKERS.COM) I think he was surprised to see me…HI BOSS! SEE I’m writing a REAL ARTICLE!!!! I wasn’t just drinking….okay…maybe i was drinking A LITTE BIT…very very little…I promise you come with us to OC WEEKLYS EVENT NEXT YEAR!?!?
Artiste Extraordinaire, Michael Hans arrived (Fabulous artist by the way! I encourage everyone to buy something he creates if you ever get the chance)
I also saw some of the cutest Dia De Los Muertos hair pieced at this one booth…but where would I ever wear them?
…I saw JenJen for a couple of moments here and there…It is a blur…I do remember leaning out of the backseat of the car screaming “I LOVE YOU JEN!!!” and she reached over and gave me a big Glittery Kiss…and when I fell back in the car? Half the snaps came undone on my dress…luckily I was DONE for the evening…
Drinking , Dancing, nom noms, Good Company?!???! What the hell else is there in LIFE?!?
So on that note, gentle readers…why are you reading this? Go out there and enjoy this beautiful day…I’m going to…
After I find my clothes and get all this eyeliner off my face…snicker.
