here are some photos of the Vatican. i know it looks kinda shabby and all (look, the pope’s post office is just a trailer! haa) but bear in mind that the Roman Catholic clergy took a vow of poverty and whatnot. so just imagine what it would look like if they hadn’t.
still at Lana Trevisan’s and Lewis Black’s combination Birthday / U.S. Independence Day / U.K. Mourning Day party in Water Mill, Southampton. this was the most beautiful part of the evening, it was like a scene out of The Beach. oh and apparently, the big blowup screen in the background was supposed to show some kind of video that coincided with the deejay’s music and the fireworks extravaganza, but something went wrong at the last minute so it just displayed some George Michael concert footage instead.
what a great night.
i didn’t really plan it but it turns out Petra Nemcova ended up in a lot of my photographs, so that’s nice. i forgot to mention that some dude from Californication was there too and another actor whose name i don’t remember who was in a few good films which i also don’t remember now. his brother was hilarious, supposedly he reads The Declaration of Independence once a year because “it’s printed in The New York Times” every fourth of July. i wasn’t that impressed though, because you’d think he would have memorized it completely by now but he only knew the first few lines.
okay i haven’t really been all that into cars since i was a kid (TWO wheels, bitches) but there’s just something kinda inherently fabulous about a bentley on a boat, no?
apparently my friend doesn’t get to drive his car very often so he decided to take it for a quick spin all the way out to Shelter Island (and back) just for lunch.
