On Monday night, February 5th at Webster Hall, Chloë Sevigny launched her Opening Ceremony line and she got The Slits to play. I went over to Chloe’s house beforehand because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get in if I didn’t walk in with her. I was right. The thing was so PACKED she almost had trouble getting in. [Ed note: Every girl there had 5” heels because it was a Chloë thing. Like if Lemmy had a party and all the dudes showed up in black leather].
(me and Miri in the kitchen)
(This is a picture of a fart Gavin let. You can’t see it.)
(Natasha checking out Gavin’s pins. I couldn’t hear what they were talking about because it was so loud in there but Natasha was cracking him up like crazy. Must have been dirty.)
(Alanna and Winkles)
So the Slits played. I guess that’s amazing and everything. There must have been 2,000 people there and we were all, “There’s no way everyone here (most of them under 25) is into the Slits.” As they started playing, the kids trickled out slowly because they remembered they didn’t give a shit about 70s girl punk. I guess I was into the Slits when I was 20 and wanted people to think I was cool but I’m older now and all I listen to is Kid Rock. [Ed note: can anyone name more than 3 Slits songs? Where would they be without that awesome mud picture?]
(Bill and Merks, two of the best looking people in New York.)
(Sarah Ball “Of Fun,” was running around barefoot and stole a bottle
of vodka from behind the bar.)
(Mel Ottenberg, obviously a 10.)
(Tony Cox and my special man-friend.)
When I go to parties I just take pictures from my seat all night because I don’t wanna get up and I especially don’t wanna get up and take pictures of people. So this is Annabelle, she was close by.
(Annabelle and Joanna Newsom [Ed note: If you are in love with Newsom and having trouble getting over it try to focus on the fact that she is dating that douche from SNL, Adam Whatshisberg. There, that's takes the sting out don't it?])
(I wanna do a book with Nate Lowman called “Highs and Lowman.”)
After this photo was taken, I went home and ate mini hot dogs in my underwear. I got ketchup on my bed. It’s not period!

02.07.08 at 1:25 pm
Pretty-boys and ugly girls. Shitty band. Shitty actress/designer.
02.07.08 at 1:56 pm
Where’s that really old dj guy in the flannel and big glasses?
02.07.08 at 2:05 pm
No Sarah,lets talk about how we`re gonna be BFFs with Chloe and Lesley and listen to “shoplifter” and “heard it through the grapewine” all day and be awesome at everything.that would be a lot cooler.
02.07.08 at 2:06 pm
Annabelle’s palms are carrot-colored, she’s relly pretty, but I thiink she might eat carrots too much or she has AIDS or something, amaybe fake-and-bake, or she has been hanging out with ORANGutangs. Haha get it?

I thought my school years were bad. It turns out the post-ed scene is much worse. People are so brutal, I just want to plunge my head into my pillow and cry myself to sleep (while listening to DJ Jazzy Jeff’s solo work because it is totally unexcpected that I would be listening to a band that is so obviously uncool, but unique, that it is somehow, though I am not sure how, cool). Oh and Gavin really does have some bad tattoos. I love you, Diary. *smooch*

i’m 25 and i love the slits:
ping pong affair
instant hit
so tough
FM
typical girls
love and romance
newtown
etc
but i was super punk rock
02.07.08 at 2:54 pm
joanna newsom is allowed to have a fling with a well connected male bimbo boy toy like andy samberg and if you watch his stunning feature length film debut hot rod and combine it with her songwriting sensibilities i think you will see the subtle genius of their relationship
02.07.08 at 3:57 pm
I want to waterboard all of you.
02.07.08 at 4:42 pm
Didn’t Gavin where that for Halloween? And Kid Rock??!?!!?
02.07.08 at 4:56 pm
why do you guys write such mean shit? i thought that was a vice thing. i’m not saying everyone has to be super nice all the time, but pick your battles. jesus. sorry i wrote a book and go to parties. next time i’ll make sure to sit at home and write mean shit about people i don’t know on the internet under a fake name.
02.08.08 at 12:16 pm
classic playa-hatin’.
I like Chloe, she is weird looking, acts in weird movies, dresses weird, likes punk, doesn’t date famous actors and shit, let a bitch live.
02.08.08 at 1:35 pm
Isn’t the point of this site to pass judgement?
02.08.08 at 2:52 pm
Well, LESLEY, I think the problem is that Vice has fostered this culture of taking shit talking/snapping to a crazy fucked up level where nothing (i.e. AIDS) is off limits. If you’re going to post pictures of you and your very cool friends (I’m not a hater- I read Vice and I love Chloe Sevigny, always have) just hangin’ out, you can’t expect to NOT be criticized back in that exact same way. If you were actually covering this event from an obective P.O.V., it probably would have been different. It’s just hypocritical. I’m not hating just trying to point this out. I read your blog and enjoy your writing.
Food for thought.
02.08.08 at 3:02 pm
Welcome to the blogosphere. People spend all day hating just because they can. And it’s sad to admit but the Vice culture (i.e., ummm people that buy their clothes at thrift stores and American Apparel, vinyl purists, indie film dorks, etc.) tend to be bitter and unfulfilled and exude this sarcastic, misanthropic persona. So naturally they’re a great target. If they were happy and non-judgemental, we’d have to go back to hating republicans and shit.
02.08.08 at 3:16 pm
Yes We Can!
