FROM BILLY BEYOND~
"Tea at The Lady Mendle Tea Salon is a treat. The lovely and engaging Miss Lauren Pine was kind enough to invite me to join her and Lady Clara Rebecca Ingle and son during the Lady's summer visit to Manhattan. The conversation was sparkling and the food was delish. My Lord Mendle tea was perfectly subtle and smokey."
Tea-ometery. The distance between the concentric circles of the cup and saucer corresponds to the angle of the spoon and knife minus pie.
Irving Place and 17th. Lady Mendle AKA Elsie de Wolfe . Learn it.

ROBERT PRIOR from THE FABULOUS MONSTER'S was the master-plaster-caster, the process took about 1 1/2 hours to complete!
it's a good thing barry is a calm type and has a lot of patience.
the result will be this PICKLE SURPRISE!

LAKERS? WHAT LAKERS? THE HOLLYWOOD ART & CULTURE WALK IS TONIGHT TOO
By Erin Weinger on June 17, 2010
It isn’t hard to find fetishists along Hollywood Boulevard, although they are usually of the variety that burn your eyes and leave you mentally scarred.
But tonight is finally your chance to catch some Hollywood kinkiness that is actually cool, with fetish art gallery Antebellum participating the the very first Hollywood Art and Culture Walk, which features the merchants in the up-and-coming shopping district of Las Palmas and Cherokee Avenues.
The gallery itself will be hosting a plaster cast demonstration with artist Barry Morse, based on a, uh, past piece called “Pickle Surprise.” (Use your imagination to guess the surprise.) But a lot of tamer, fashionable festivities abound as well. Including knitting lessons and a 75 percent-off sale at Artstring and the unveiling of artist Landon Wiggs‘ limited-edition T-shirts at Scout. And if you have yet to check out Cerre, the awesome leathersmiths we’ve written about here multiple times before, tonight is the night.
Tonight, 5 p.m. until 9 p.m., 1600 block of Las Palmas and Cherokee Avenues, Los Angeles.
$5 parking available at the Classic parking lot on Las Palmas Ave, (west side).
