Happy Birthday Chaka Khan(55)

Born Yvette Marie Stevens in Illinois, I only saw her perform once.? Like so many other hollywood personalities, they go downhill quite quickly once they become famous.? It was in 2005 that she came to perform at Sunset Junction, a street event here in los angeles.? Well being a photographer, I wanted to get some pictures of her.? However, this mean bodyguard came out before she was to sing, and he said if he caught anyone with large-lens cameras (pro in other words) that he would break the camera.? I was like, that is wrong!? So, of course I was able to get a few photos despite the threats since if you know me, I am determined once I put my mind to a task.? And as you can see, poor Yvette looked like holy crap due to being fat and drugged out.? Hence that is why they did not want photos taken of her.? I feel sorry for her.? Poor beotch.? Nevertheless, I said to my friend Ken Knox who writes for a local magazine and quoted me at the time:? “If you do not wish to have your photo taken because you look like hell, do not go onto a stage in the middle of the street and perform, dumb ass!”

Missed the Board Meeting

I did not have the energy to go last night to the sisters board meeting and felt like I have participated enough in sister activities, the last one being sunday as you can see from prior post. I do plan on going to at least one or two events per month. I believe that they are finally maintaining a calendar of events so I can know where and when to go. I also have ability to instant message several of them if needed.

Back from PS, going to Sisteria later

I had a nice weekend in Palm Springs relaxing and taking a break from Los Angeles. I am an urban guy, but do like to get a break from it all occasionally. Sister Rusty Metal personally asked me to attend Sisteria tonight so I feel obligated to go even though its a slight pain to get there via transit. I will manage as I always do.

Palm Springs Trip

Took a quick day trip with my friend Edna to see Palm Springs. It was great weather. It was overcast and gloomy in LA, but there it was 86 and sunny. I did not really get good pictures, but here are a few.? We drove up to the Tramway, but he was scared to go up to the top so I settled for a few photos.
