movie inspiration: shag

This is one of the very few modern movies you'll get an inspiration post on here - Shag was a huge influence on me when it came out in 1989. Melissa and I watched this a gillion times - like enough to actually learn how to Shag. (The dance, pervert. We were 12.)
It's mostly about the hair-



I mean if you're going to bother doing your hair, you might as well...








it's also a little about the glasses






I was really into this cigarette pants/skirt thing





OK it's obviously mostly about Phoebe Cates' eyes.

Vegas videos

The first video was shot around 10PM on New Years Eve. The second one is the tumblers at Circus Circus.

the rest

Here's a bit of everything else that I shot in Vegas.







Here's the crowd on New Years Eve


I gambled a total of $3 in 5 days - lost promptly but funly. I did, however, find 3 pennies and a credit slip for 5 cents, so I wasn't totally unlucky.

These few were all shot from my hotel room window -






And lastly-


This is now officially a lucky dress - I wore it to see Penn & Teller. At one point in the show Penn instructed Teller to take some video of the audience to project onto a big screen on stage. He panned around a bit and zoomed in on me. Highlight of my life, hands down. I think you're cute too Teller.



All the rest of my Vegas pics are posted here.

circus circus

Circus Circus was by far my favorite thing in Vegas, if the number of photos I took there is any indication... The mezzanine is packed with vintage arcade games and there are acrobats. They even still have the balloon clown game that was in Diamonds are Forever. I could take pictures in this place for days.
