Miami Vice Theme

Los Angeles

Big City.

Big Stuff.

Big Big Big.

Build that really really really cool Time Capsule and start stowing your stuff in it.

We're really into Miami Vice around here. We're freaking out that we're so in love with Crockett and Tubbs, but whatever. We love Gina, too.

New and Exciting CS5

We've just gotten our hands on illustrator, photoshop and fireworks CS5. Get ready for some eye popping designs and don't think that we'll ever really give up on our Adobe Photoshop 5.5, because we love that ol' tech feeling.

But all that new 3-D photography is done in illustrator, so it should be fun to mess around in it.

We are not a photography studio and don't use photoshop to it's maximum facility but it's good to have the update.

Fireworks is the most exciting. Producing exciting mobile web content. Be on the look out for fun stuff for your phone.

And keep on reading...all donations this month will go to Protectourcoastline.org which helps local fisherman and their families affected by this disaster with this link here: Protect Our Coastline

The last days of August in Silver lake

Hello Ferrari!

It's hot out, but not too hot. Our HQ lies on a very quiet street in Silver lake.

This neighborhood in the hills is quiet and serene, for now. The electro-clash neighbors next door have been having one extravaganza after another, but it's quiet now and you can hear the birds and the squirrels in the trees. A gardener sweeps up his mess.

The Folk rock neighbor up the street is sleeping in late and has yet to be heard this morning. From sunrise till Noon is the quietest time in Silver lake.


Our good friend the Frenchman is coming back from his travels abroad in Newfoundland. I'm sure he'll have some exciting stories to tell. His sister in law has just been watering the yard and jumps in her VW, waves and takes off. She's a busy, busy gal.

Everyone at the Trashy Novel Corp is having a great summer and we hope everyone in the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying themselves as well. We won't forget our Southern Hemisphere brothers and sisters and hope that you are staying warm this cold, cold winter.

Pick up that note pad and scribble down some of the good stuff every once in a while.

The Craigslist Advertiser

She's 47. We took a photocopy of her ID and it says she was born in 1963. She's a little old to be doing the kind of stuff she's doing, but hell, why not ride the wagon till the wheels fall off.

It's late August.

Daisy comes into the hotel with her German Shepard in tow. She's saved him from a shelter down on Figueroa and 60th or something like that. She use to own a house up on Mulholland Drive, but now she's got all her belongings in a couple boxes and suitcases and she's been staying in local hotels and making a living with offering her services on Craigslist.

The Ad runs something like this:

250 Roses for relaxing massage, bath, golden dust facial with happy ending. Drugs ok. Upscale clients in-call only. Please call (555)Gold-Duster

She attaches a picture of her ass with no panties and puts it out there amongst the creepy crawlies. She fields phone calls all day.

She bought one of our novels that we have for sale on the hotel library table. She tips us $20 whenever she can. Most of the time she is surrounded by Strange men. The tall Asian Man named Max that is like her personal assistant. There are the Cubans that get into fights when the tricks won't pay up. They are not her pimps though, she seems to control them. Like she's a hooker with security.

She spends most of her days on the rooftop sunbathing nude.

She's a real treat.

Too bad the German Shepard (Roxy) had diahrrea in the hallway the other day. Oh yea, and causing the hot water line to the room to explode and the endless waterfall that cascades through the rooms beneath her fourth floor paradise.

She loves it here. Everyone has been offered a free massage but no one has accepted.

She always comes down to pay on time.

It's just such a shame that the Cubans keep beating up people.

She's going to publish a rare poem that Hubert Selby Jr. wrote especially for her.

We kick her out after 2 weeks of craziness.

Gorgeous Sunday

That's why we live here.
