SONNY BONO BLVD.

TOM and i drove to to PALM SPRINGS this past weekend and stayed overnight at the house of a friend of his. truth be told, the real reason for the trip was to drop in at the CABAZON OUTLET MALL, just outside PALM SPRINGS city limits. CABAZON features GUCCI, PRADA & “VER-SAYS”, but unfortunately, they had nothing we wanted to buy or “mop”. (-see PARIS IS BURNING)

it was 100 degrees in the desert, so we basically just stayed in the pool all day. JEFF, TOM’S friend, had a dog named BULLET, who instantly fell in love with me, and i with her. BULLET was a one year old german shepherd, the color of toasted meringue and the sweetest personality you’d ever want in a dog. she also had the sharpest nails you’d never want on a dog. when i’d jump in the pool, she’d follow and frolic with me. at the end of the day, i looked like i’d been mauled by BARRY WHITE’S ex-wife, GLO-DEAN.

we had a fun time out there, as i’ve always loved the desert. up until a couple of years ago, i’d never been to PALM SPRINGS, which is odd because i’m a native CALIFORNIAN. before i visited there, i had always thought of PS as LAS VEGAS without the gambling, which is kinda on target, but not quite. they actually do have casinos, but there is also another element to the town that goes beyond description. PS possesses a strange peaceful energy that’s both intoxicating and hypnotic. that magical force field could be a result of the town’s geographic position in relation to the mountain it sits at the foot of. who knows ? all i know is that the serenity of PALM SPRINGS is undeniable.
