My favorite part of any scooter rally.
I lost. But I was the last girl standing!

The story of Patricia Douglas is fascinating, depressing, and deserves to be told, but David Stenn is not the person to tell it. I watched this documentary over the weekend, and I agree with the commenter who said Stenn ruins the story with his fame-whorish attempt to insert himself into the story (not to mention his somewhat weak story line based almost entirely on speculation). Wish someone could do the story real justice. Still, it’s fucked up and you should watch it anyway. You’ll be a better person for the knowledge of this crime.

Took a solo roadtrip this weekend — solo, because the dog, who was riding in the front seat, wasn’t very good at keeping up his end of the conversation. I’ve never made the 150-mile drive to the Hill Country alone before, and this time the three hours actually felt like three long hours on the straightest stretch of Interstate 10 in the country.
My shitty iPod tape adapter only plays music out of one half of my speakers, and I was sick of the 10 or so CDs I had. For some reason I thought it might be worthwhile to scan the dials, hoping there would be listen-worthy radio on a Friday night. Somewhere between Schulenburg and Luling, I caught several Christian/self help stations in a row, including one where three gossipy women were having a would-you-ever conversation regarding stripping for one’s husband/boyfriend at his request in the privacy of one’s home. All three women talked about this hypothetical request as if it were the most scandalous thing they could possibly think of doing.
It took all I had inside not to swerve to the side of the road and pull a Sailor and Lula after that.

Found this on Twitter right after posting the Rockers vs Mods video. Though I usually wear a full-face helmet because I am a vain MFer.

Remember that photo shoot I was in a few months back? Here’s one of the resulting posters.
A few weeks ago a group of scooterists and bikers met at an icehouse at 7 a.m. to film a short clip for the rally. I did a bad thing and violated the ATGATT creed so that I could look cute riding the Vespa in a miniskirt and without a helmet.
