Groupie Love

Here I begin a lovely segment titled

The Paris Hilton Upgrade

Def: A section of the blog where I reveal a person that is infinitely more talented, interesting, and "hot" than Ms. Paris Hilton. Furthermore, the following person should be considered for his or her own reality show before any jackass at MTV or VHI considers a "BFFuckMe" part deux. 

PAMELA DES BARRES

Aka Miss Pamela

Aka my new hero. This woman is legendary for being a famous groupie during the sixties and seventies. She spent her days lounging, loving, and fucking some of the more epic rock stars such as Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Waylon Jennings and Keith Moon. 

Although her list of nabs are endlessly delicious, what truly makes this woman fab are her own quirky accomplishments. She was a member of the GTOs (GirlsTogetherOutrageously / Only / Openly / Organically / etc) - this group is so weird that it will be cool forever. BONUS: their songs make absolutely no sense and are awful by conventional standards - aka, weirdo-liberal-heads will ALWAYS love their goofy ways. 

My personal fav?? A song entitled "Wouldn't it be sad if there were no cones?" - the girls sing about the many positive qualities of "cones" (apparently sixties slang for black men??) complimented with examples of their FABulous one-liners. 

Step 1. YouTube.com

Step 2. Wouldn't it be sad if there were no cones?

Step 3. Listen

Step 4. Glorify

I first learned about Miss Pamela after reading her book "I'm With the Band" - she has also written another memoir titled "Take Another Little Piece of My Heart: A Groupie Grows Up" and two non-fiction books about the crazy backstaged life. Obviously, all of these books are on my to-do list. 

I cannot seem to find so much information on what Miss Pamela is up to nowadays - all I know is that she has officially shimmied her way into the Top Ten people I MUST meet. Sidenote: I'm not entirely sure what the other nine are - although one is Diablo Cody and the other is Dita Von Teese. Hmmm, maybe I should make this list into a future post...

The point is - Miss Pamela is truly oozing with fab-noscity. 

Cleo Handley = style icon?

I have recently returned from un piccolo giro to Grandbury, Texas - where most unwanted horses, weird old uncles, and pieces of turquoise jewelry go to die. Surprisingly, I found a style treasure amidst my Nana's closet and I begged for her to let me have it (I must note I literally had to BEG for the piece, which is strange because it is almost impossible to tell my Nana you like anything without her trying to thrust it on your finger (this typically applies to rings)).
Anyways, I found an old Dooney&Bourke, black and brown (it actually works here Ferg), leather, bowler bag. It's divine.
Officially, it is my favorite piece of my wardrobe. And BONUS: it was owned by my great-grandmother (Mrs. Cleo Handley herself!) and actually had some of her old credit cards in the front pouch when I opened it up - che carino!

My name is Erin...

All the fabulousessness that would be my old ballet costume headpieces.
My name is Erin, and YES I will be wearing them throughout next year.
Sidenote: My new pseudo-self is a crazy woman named Pamela (after the oh-so-bitching Pamela Des Barres) and she will be wrecking havoc soon within my soul. <3
Further sidenote: I'm thinking of starting a blog about it all - or rather I am about to make this blog into more than just a fun treat between girlfriends. It's going to have moments. Moments most likely induced by whichever narcotic I'm rocking at the time. Feel free to join the movement <33

Am I as cool as Stephanie yet?

It's your Birfday!!!

Hey darling - HAAAAAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAYY!!!
1. I hope you have a fabulous day
2. I expect you to be intoxicated in some way at least once during these 24 hours - yes, Friday can count as long as you promise to get extremely drunk
3. Tell your mother hello and I'm sooo excited to see her (but not as excited as I am to see my Fergie-Ferg!!)
4. I found the Freshman Year @ NYU picture slideshow I was working out like 3 months ago - I had forgotten about it because I got up to like 30min (ya...I know - but we have ALOT of pictures) and then it had an "Unexpected Error" and deleted everything up to like 13min so I was soooo frustrated that I pushed the whole project out of my mind - but now I'm over it so I'll try to finish it up and have it ready by the time we meet up.
5. I was looking at pictures of last Halloween. They made me smile, and then sad because we were soooo skinny
5a. I'm going to the gym today.
5b. It's almost 3pm here, and I've only gotten out of bed to eat breakfast..(which included chocolate..). 5a is not realistic.
6. I'm planning on calling you later, once I think you are actually awake and kicking. Try to answer, but if you don't no worries I'll just leave an obnoxious message.
7. I sent the flight info to mommy so I'm thinking we're a go - Jan 3-8 right? Haha I keep forgetting because I'm always doped up on Ambien
7a. This could be a future problem..
7b. Fuck it. I can't smoke anymore so I have to do something!! And cocaine isn't legal yet..AND I'm about to be a part of a world where I can't drink anymore!!
8. I miss you!! (The pictures made me way nostalgic) And wish I were there to share your birthday!! But we'll definitely do plenty of ridiculous things to make up for it.
9. I'll blog about Paris soon.
9a. I'm sick and gross and don't do anything. It's like that one week I had mono that NEVER ends.
10. I miss New York!!
10a. I told you I was feeling nostalgic.
11. Love you Fergie-Ferg, welcome to the big world of 19 year olds!!

is there something different about you?!

bonjour by Sarah Ferguson

Hey lady. well gee wiz that's the longest thing ive read since like.. idk when! when it sounds like you had quite an amazing and interesting time.. to say the least.. and i'm officially jealous! & of course your could be coming out story would be in the red light district of Amsterdam..you can't do anything the way normal people do things can you?! lol but i guesss that's what i heart about you :) I want to hear about barcelona! & an explanation for why you were not wearing a costume in any picture you've posted. !

Anywhoo, well last week was supposed to be the best week ever. But i was very blue last week. So i had to drag myself out of my room to do anything but i'm glad I did. The costume party at the Met was tuesday and there weren't that many people there but it was fun hiding from Museum Guy and stuff. Also, my new kind of friend Caroline, who me & Stephanie met at a party at the Chelsea Art Museum was there and she said her boyfriend leaves her alone at parties a lot so she can go pick up girls (as friends) because her best friend from last year left her to go to a cheaper school and she has no friends. But guess what her bff's name is?!?! NELL! Isn't that strange?? I was like shuutttt upp! OKAY next, was the party at Saks. There was a red carpet. It was fancy schmancy.. we got pear martinis & champagne served by male models ( & all i could think of when Samantha fucks Smith when he's a coctail waiter at a party & i was like I need to make a move! But in real life cocktail waiters are gaygaygay) annnndd Duffy performed! you know the one who sings Mercy? she was hella cute with her little welsh accent! So then it was Halloween and Cat (my exbestfriend turned friend again) was supposed to come but her Dad dies tuesday ( :( ) so obvs she didn't come. And i had no idea what i was doing because nobody I know knew what they were doing either. But i ended up going to a party in WIlliamsburg with Stephanie and a few others. One of these others, Rachel, is nice-ish, but she's a rich snobby bitch too. She was like ugghh I'm bored. This sucks. let's go. this is lame. (even though it was perfectly fine. & they had a keg & i was happy) so we leave cuz she has another party to take us to back in Manhattan. but as soon as we get off the L, she's like uggh i'm tired so I'm just gonna go back to Gramercy(it's 11pm) and we were like YOU DRAGGED US ALL THE WAY BACK & NOW YOU"RE DITCHING US!?!? but we didnt really say that. so we went to that party & it waas really awk. cuz it was the Equestrian team party(yes.. we have one?) so they all knew ea.other and the girl who lived there was like .. i dont like that all these random ppl keep coming! so ..we left and went BACK to the B-K-L-Y-N. to another party. supposedly with jungle juice. but alas when we got there it was almost all gone & the rest of the night was a BYOB .. which we didn't know. So sober Sarah was not happy. & eventually we left. & before going back to my dorm i bought a whole bag of reeces & ate almost the whole thing myself. Then i went to bed & 2 hours later went to catch a bus back home. & of course the bus was stuck in traffic so I missed Cat's dads funeral! so much for trying to be a good friend! but i still saw her and she was happy just that i was there & then we threw her a lil halloween bash with a few close friends, who i havent seen in a while so it was lovely. And i got drunk. and i was happy. & for the first time i didnt want to leave warwick. Danielle, i kid you not.. I cried while saying goodbye to my parents! I was like who AM I?! but again, I'm depressed so there you go! I think it's just because i have such high highs like going to fashion events and meeting people who i idolize and blahblahblah but at the end of the day i'm just lonely again and it's such a shift & it's fucking with my emotions! Like.. I can't even think about my birthday. I have no clue what to do.. who to invite.. i was thinking Karoke cuz you don't need ids and it's fun but then Stephanie turned her nose up at that idea.. & i feel like i could just stay inside all day on my birthday and no one would caaarrree! & you know how much i love my birthday. oh well. my debbie downer rant is now over.

But.. i didnt tell you! The other day i went to Marquee with my friend Anna.. & i waltzed in & her ID didnt scan so the bouncer took it! & then made her slip him 50$ to get it back! and then we went to Suzie Wongs(finally.. but it sucks inside... i mean the bathrooms are unisex.. EW!) and she walked in and the bouncer there took MY id!! & he was like we both know this isnt you. Give me 20$ & ill let you in but don't make it obvious. what a slimeball. I'm getting brown colored contacts. end of story.

Anyways, i just wanna say that i dont think you realize how much i miss your crazy self! & i loovee youuu & please take pictures of your brown hair on photobooth asap. & OMG BARACK OBAMA.. TOMORROW!! if he loses, please move out of America with me? kthx.
