Gemini's twin

So, after we moved into our house, we decided that Bibi (the best kitty in the whole world besides Devon and Aleksa's kitties) might need a play friend. It being Christmas, we thought we'd surprise Bibi with a little present. After much analysis, we finally decided to do it. So, there's a new addition to the VOICEsVOICEs family! Her name is Milo, a two month old black kitty who could very well be Bibi's twin.

Bibi isn't thrilled yet, but I'm thinking she'll come around soon enough. We're thrilled, of course, and can't wait to come home to Bibi and Milo nestled together in a black fur ball in front of the heater. Can't wait!

Jenean and Milo and a toy mouse, which milo LOVES:

Do not shoes make the girl?

Yes, it's that time of the year again - when Christmas lights are sparkling in your eyes, the cold wind is blowing, the streets are wet and Nico's shoes have more water in them than the sidewalk does. But fret no more!

I just bought two pairs of shoes for 50 bucks. Vintage shoes. That are actually nice... and actually fit me. A vintage Affair on Santa Monica is a god-send. No Seriously. I took the day off, drove a few blocks, hobbled down Santa Monica determined I would finally, after five months of searching find the perfect shoes. Lo and behold! I found two pairs.

Indeed it is Christmas. The first Noel and all that. Come, they told me, perum pum pum pum. And I did, and I perum pum pum pummed my happy feet all the way back to my car. In new shoes, that aren't being held together by electrical tape. Which, the store workers said were amazing and should go on my wall.

It's almost time for Jenean to be home. I'm sure we'll spend the night fighting over who gets to play with the new Line 6 FM4 Filter Modeler we just bought yesterday.

Who cares, my feet are warm.

alter/offerings

We went to Cha Cha Lounge last night to meet up with Tori for her Bday/going away party. She was late and we had to head off to our Repeal Prop 8 Benefit show at the Smell. We took photobooth photos before we left, between a martini and a smoka breaka. We'll post them later.

The Repeal Prop 8 Benefit Show at the Smell, with BlackBlack, Ilo Mar, Paloma Palfrey and Sleepwalkers Local, went well. We made $280.00 for Courage Campaign and Equality California. Not a lot, but not bad. Every bit helps.

Jenean and I had technical difficulties times ten during our set. I put new batteries in both my theremins right before going on stage and two seconds into our second song (Cloak & Dagger) both died. I threw them both on the ground, dropped to my knees and fashioned some noise in lieu of the actual sounds I was supposed to be making. With no theramin, our next song was also strange. And Jenean's amp went out during our last song, Sounds Outloud, which left us Ooohing and Ahhhing into our mics, kinda half-heartedly and confused.

I stood fifteen times on an alter, and fifteen times, I lost my head.

Tangier tonight with the wonderful, the amazing, We Are The World.



Hope to see you guys there!

much love,
nico
