Epic metal flow chart no big deal

CLICK TO MAKE BIGGER
thanks for this Annie Ok!

Where will WITCH and CHILDREN fit into this chart someday? I'm going to see them tonight after my spesh dinner at Justin's restaurant. Kind of excited!

I hope those metalheads don't find out I've become pretty much a boring normy now that I'm past my partygirl phase. In another life (I've had at least 5 since I moved here) I started Precious Metal Mondays at Lit which was voted best metal party in New York by Paper Magazine. Do you know what that means?!? That means that people who don't listen to metal thought it was neat-o! Not one single true metal fan has ever perused a copy of Paper. Not one. Anyhow, see you tonight some of you!

Wow, thanks New York!

I've only been home three days and I'm so feeling the LOVE people! (said that like Carla from Top Chef)

Anyhow I don't want to cheese out, but I guess you don't realize how much you love someone until they're gone. I have soooo many amazing friends and people I've collected along the way, and... wait I'm cheesing. Anyhow, a few things:

First off, I was interviewed for this new website called "The Great Women" which is a podcast/blog for teens and college girls who need a little inspiration, and I talk about my book and being ambitious and obsessive about my work and traveling with The Virgins and Vice and all the other shit that helped me get where I am today (where is that btw)?

Look, its 15 minutes so you won't get through it, but if you know someone who is trying to write a book or produce a TV show or sell their artwork or just be confident and put themselves into the world to be seen and heard, then maybe they'll get something out of this. Here is the link to the website and the podcast of my interview.

Also, she called me the Retail Director at Vice but I was the Fashion Director (huge diff). I produced their fashion shows, organized photo shoots, worked with stylists, did PR and marketing, etc. Just wanted to clear that up incase anyone thinks I'm just some retail whore. I have pride people!

Speaking of being a retail whore, I love how Elissa (the interviewer) mentions that I was the #1 salesperson at Contempo Casuals in high school. Thanks!!! I was joking, but she delivers it with such conviction that it sounds like I told her because it was one of my life accomplishments and an integral part of my success. Although, I was promoted to Asst Manager after 3 years at the top. Boo-yah!!!! So there's some inspiration, ladies. Go make a retail company a bunch of money by suggesting coordinating pieces/accessories to sad moms who are trying to look like their teenage daughters. Make sure said company is bankrupt and really embarrassing to work for.

PS- salary during time of employment:

Stock girl $4.75/hr.
Asst manager $9.25/hr.

Totally worth it!

Okay, next.

I'm DJing at LIT tonight with Andrew Kuo and Josh Wildman. I will be playing black people music. 90s hip hop, Jamaican Oldies, cheesepop (hi T.I. and Lady GaGa). It will be really unboring!

I'm packing to go back to LA in a couple of days, so I'm only DJing til 1am and then I have to go home and go to bed. P-retty cool.

If you're in NYC and you love me, please come and say your goodbyes :)

You guys are gross. You, the one who just left me that queer comment that I immediately deleted. I don't understand why strangers leave perverted things on strangers blogs. Its so sad n single. Please, you guys- I don't care what you say, but just don't be gross about it.

For the rest of you, I'll be posting soon. Times are hectic.

"Hey, you available at 5pm to lick my ass?"

was supposed to read

"Hey, you available at 5pm to kick my ass?"

Wonder whats in store after the abs sesh.

This is how my two best friends treat me.

As you know, I'm moving to LA now that I'm out here and trying to break into the big wide world of television production and/or comedy writing. There aren't enough Jews on top of that so I thought I'd do my part. Anyhow, I've transcribed an email from yesterday so you guys can see who I have to say goodbye to. Won't be hard.


From: Aviva Yael
To: Justin Gallaher, Tasha Cain

Darnits this makes me not want to move to LA:

Tasha: That place looks awesome. Let’s hit it...Justin. Sorry Veevs you’re dead to us now.

Justin: Totally. And speaking of hitting things, Tasha we need to figure out all our Fashion Week party plans. It'll be WAY easier to get into everything this year with you just having a plus one, and not having to deal with a plus-two situation. Gonna be so fun, can't wait!!! We’re going to Marc Jacobs again, right?

Tasha: Yeah for sure, there's some great parties this season too. We should def hit up
The one that's catered by Thomas Keller. You know, the one all those hilarious shaggy-hair rich artist dudes told us they're going to? I think Christmas Tree Mom is hosting it.

Aviva: While you're at it, why don't you guys have brunch at Prune with my ex-boyfriend?

Tasha: You are SO last week. We did that on Sunday. But thanks for the suggestion. He’s doing super well these days!

Aviva: Oh good, so maybe you guys can hit up the Opening Ceremony/APC/La Esquina sample sale and free taco day block party to celebrate Terry Richardson's opening at the Deitch. I'll just go to Teddy's to watch Lauren Conrad and Brandon Oily Heir Davis get their grind on behind the DJ booth. Fun!

Sunny California, here I come! Maybe!

Hey Bunny



Hey Bunny is my friend Yasi's new group blog that yours truly shall contribute to along with a bunch of people like Jensrocker, Steve Lee, Jerry Hsu, Hanni El-Khatib, Rick Rodney, and some other people I either don't know or just met but who I trust are all good eggs.

I will keep my posts short and sweet over there, as I believe that when there are 9 people in an online clusterfuck, each entry should be direct, to the point, and have one or two good zingers that people can read and move on from. Nobody wants to trudge through long, self-obsessed internet farts when there are 8 other people doing it at the same time (I have my own blog for that).

So, without further ado, check out Hey Bunny by clicking HERE and the shortcut to my page by clicking HERE.

Also, I'm about to unleash three weeks worth of Aviva's thought pools on you here and at Streetcarnage, so stay tuned. Sorry I haven't been around much. I'm busy living and learning the hard way.

Love ya,

Veevs
