My favourite vintage clothing store in LA is The Way We Wore. I will talk about things of this nature from time to time. Got a question or a vintage fashion emergency? Hit me up! I love this stuff.

The Way We Wore had me speak for them on a TV segment, that will air in the not too distant future. I’ll let you know once I know the details, (only if I like the edit job!) Here’s a pic from the shoot…they allowed me to wear their clothes and I love love love this dress!
(Raymond Morales did my make up…bless him!)

I enjoy LA. I’ll be writing about that here. For now let me say my favourite venue for music in LA is Largo at The Coronet. They do it right. Oh yes!

I really enjoy eating. (no comments on that please)! From time to time I may share a recipe or a fav spot to eat. Stay tuned.

At the moment I’m addicted to Umami Burger on La Brea. OH MY GOD. It is truly the best burger that has ever touched my lips. Thanks to David Haugland for taking me there! Now, don’t tell anyone. http://www.umamiburger.com/

I went with my kiwi mate and new collaborator Florence Hartigan to hear one of my idols, Neil Finn at Largo last week. He is without a doubt one of the greatest. Always a humbling experience. He writes masterful songs with drop dead melodies. His voice is always spot on. He can play guitar within an inch of his life. He’s my Paul McCartney. If you are not familiar…check out Split Enz, Crowded House, The Finn Brothers and his solo work – Neil Finn.

My older brothers used to listen to Split Enz, so I grew up with that. My girlfriends and I were Crowded House groupies in School. I caught one of Neil’s guitar picks at a Sydney Uni Show. After my pal Allie I kept yelling at him, he finally knelt down and asked us what we wanted to hear….he then obliged and played Sister Madly for us. He singled out my other friend Alison N at The State Theatre….”this is for the girl up the back in the red shirt!”…we still laugh about that.

So yes, as you can see, I have nostalgic attachments, but I can honestly say, now as an adult, a singer/songwriter and a musician, he’s as good as it gets. Thanks Neil for being you. Neil with my friends Wendy & Lisa and also Sebastian on bass If you need more…spend some time on youtube, he’s all over.
