March was the best month of the year for me so far. I know it will just get better. I really disliked January and February compared to March! I am so happy to be alive.
I am too tired to write funny captions but I will later today.
These are photos from MARCH!

Scott Barnhill has been a friend of mine since 1996 or 1995???
You may know him as a model from the 90's, the face of Versace with Gisele, YSL with Kate Moss, and countless covers and spreads.
He has been the muse and model for Galliano and Gaulthier for the last 13 years.
There are two models featured, the second one is SCOTT!
This video also features two models and the second one is SCOTT!
Look him up if you don't know him.
But I just know him as my homie Scott. I knew him as a skater and a sweetie! So when people talk to me about him being this fashion icon figure, I forget they are talking about SCOTT! Well, I am very proud of Scott and I wanted to share that with the world. He has been the kindest friend and we have kept in touch all of these years. Till this day, he is the same Scott I knew! (but even better!!! *wink)
But now he lives in Paris and has a cool great band called BLACKBOX EXPOSED. Go and check it out tonight if you are in Paris, France!

THESE BLOGS ARE A LITTLE OUT OF ORDER, BUT BARE WITH ME. THANKS.
March 25th 2009 Spike Lee was in town to shoot a commercial. I happened to be in town as well. We met up and caught up. He is a swell chum. I don't have photos because Mr. Lee doesn't like having his photo taken. He was a little traumatized by meeting me in the lobby because he got mobbed. Understood.
I am grateful and blessed to have a mentor like Spike. He is truly a genius with a kind giving heart. He also has a great sense of humor. (ha ha ha) (He's an Aries TOO! damnnit!)
I don't care what anyone says, Spike is the man and I will defend him till the death! If you don't know what his work has done for the industry, please do your homework.
AND SPIKE'S BIRTHDAY WAS MARCH 20TH!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPIKKKKEEEEEE!
Some of you might get why I put this video up here: (ha ha ha)
THERE ARE A TON MORE ON YOUTUBE.COM I am too sleepy to put all of them up right now, thanks.
I received an IM from Jason Matthews at TheJay.com to tell QT Happy Birthday.
All I could think of was... Oh SHIT! I forgot.
(You might remember the hilarious skit that Mr. Matthews wrote about Quentin and I coming back from the Philippines in 2007... I even called Larry Clark and told him about it and we read it, laughed so hard until we teared and almost choked! I emailed Jason and he never got back to me and than I myspaced him... than I got the feeling that he thought I was going to kill him or curse him out... better yet, throw down a law suit! But no, I emailed him and told him that it was the best piece on the flight yet! So many people had written about it and it was all over the Tarantino blogs, it was on the cover of the New York paper, the Australian paper, it was on the cover of the Asian newspapers... so I had read it all... than when I read his piece, I was like man, this thing has gotten so out of control that people are writing skits on it! And Jason's wasn't the first one or the last one I read but his was sincerely the BEST! Even Larry Clark said it was the best and he rarely speaks on other artists. HA! Jason was so shocked that I loved the skit he wrote that he called his friends and even his dad and told them that I actually reached out to him about the piece. I eventually ended up getting on the phone with him and I think he still thought I was going to rip him 4 A-holes but I was so thrilled to hear the author's voice, I just started laughing and praising him. I told him I was shocked to read that someone nailed Quentin and I in a sarcastic fashion. What Jason wrote is exactly the stereotypical things people think about Quentin and I. I love the piece and I laugh every time I read it. ENJOY! *Get a tissue, you will need it. Tarantino & Tiffany Limos skit!)
I am too overwhelmed in my own little world at this point to remember anything. I called to wish him a swell (how old is he again?) birthday.
Happy Birthday My Filipino Brotha! (just kidding) *Inside joke.
Who cares about birthdays? I do.
2007 Malacanang Palace Philippines
Oh yeah, can't wait to see him at Cannes... and this film below!
If you don't know who these people are, google them. Thanks! I also added photos to the blog 3/04/09 - 3/11/09. Check it out!

My elevator picture.
I was stuck in New York and trying to get home to Texas. I finally arrived on the 18th and I kicked my feet up for a nap. THAN!!! My phone rang and it was Andre Saraiva. He came a day early! All I thought was, "Oh shit!" He wanted to meet for dinner and/or great red wine but in Dallas, things close early. So I hopped up and put a Herve Leger outfit on with Tahitian pearls... and jammed to the W hotel where we met up. I met Gregory Bernard and he was the coolest cat. So cool. I brought gifts for Andre, one was a book that Larry Clark did called Los Angeles. Andre loved it! SCORE for me. We met up with the Belvedere people and than we went to Suite Club to check things out. I got a little drunk and went off, thank goodness I calmed down. I don't think drinking mixes well with me. Too many bad things have happened to me when I have drank too much. Somehow we called it a night.
The morning of the 19th, I don't hear a peep. Than I get a text from Gregory. I suppose I am supposed to head down there to meet up with them and its 3pm. I don't make it till 5pm and I see Andre and Gregory sitting infront of the hotel! LORD. They are bored. We walk to get cigarettes and I call my friend Matthew Giese to take us on a tour. Andre wanted me to take him on a tour but I hadn't been to Dallas in years... and when I do come to Dallas I am busy with my family and writing... so knowing knowledge of Dallas wasn't my cup of tea. Matthew took us around in his BMW and we learned alot about Dallas. We went to Nieman Marcus and took photos. We loved the fact that no one was shopping at the downtown location. We compared it to how busy Paris was for shopping and how everyone hates shopping with the crowds in Paris. People come from all over the world JUST to shop in Paris. We went to the JFK memorial before that though and had a great time. There were families there with us and we stuck out like three sore thumbs. Me with my Yoko hippie hair and knee high boots... and skin tight black dress. We than went to Centre and looked around because Andre wanted sunglasses, than he wanted to look at the ones from American Apparel... no luck. Than we went to Starbucks.
Matthew than took us to a place called PEGGY SUE's for some real Texas brisket and BBQ ribs. We sat there and enjoyed the place. I couldn't believe how Texan it was. There was a Rock Hudson poster dedicated and signed to Peggy Sue. There was one woman who looked like she was transplanted from the 80's in the restaurant and Andre was all over her style. Gregory was explaining to Andre in French what the different choices were since he used to work in Washington and had dined at the Texan/Republican restaurant dedicated to the politians from Texas working in the area. You couldn't get anymore Texan than this place.
Than we went back to the hotel and met up with Pedro Winter aka Busy P.
It was fun to see him because it had been really difficult meeting up with him due to our schedules. We went downstairs to meet Matthew after getting ready. Made an appearance at the club Suite. Than we decided to go to DALLAS GENTLEMEN'S CLUB! I am not joking. The bootiest club in the world. During the car ride we saw a Whataburger and Pedro wanted to eat there but we didn't have time. He wanted to blog about it, oh well. Once inside of the club they took all of our cameras! Damn. Andre, Gregory, and Pedro were going to die! Matthew and I were laughing. It was so crazy I can't even tell you. Pedro didn't want to look at the girls and he just wanted to watch the tv basketball game. We started to talk a bit until a dancer got inbetween our faces and told us that Gregory bought Pedro a dance. HA! I won't go into detail with that one.
Than I look up and Andre is taking ones and putting them inside the girl on the stage! It was a riot! DAMN.... They were the only non-black people in the room. I was a little inbetween. But it was half awkward and half hilarious. Pedro demanded to go back to the CLUB Suite!
We went back to the club and we saw The Misshapes there! They were finished with their set and Pedro got his Busy P. on. He rocked the whole club and people fell in love with him on the dance floor. He really put a great show on. By the end of the night he was dancing all over the floor by himself!!!!!!!!! ha.
Gregory went crazy on the dance floor and he definitely was having the time of his life. Andre was also enjoying the Dallas scene. It was a night to remember.
Afterwards, we went back to the hotel, chilled, and than parted ways.
(BECAUSE.... we all were headed to Austin for SXSW the next day and it was already 4am... and Pedro was heading to a gig in San Francisco... and to meet up with homie Jeremy Scott...)

MARCH 24TH 2009... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO PHARRELL??? Mmmm, I haven't seen Pharrell in a while. So when someone sent this to me, I couldn't help but laugh until my eyes started to tear.
Seems like everyone is in Paris, even if its for a lay-over from Malaysia.
