"I
usually hate actresses," confided Siouxsie
Sioux to a friend at a party thrown for her, her band, and Blondie Friday (Aug. 9) at Hollywood's hip Les Deux
Café restaurant, "but Patricia Arquette is
soooo cool."
Likewise,
after the introduction by club promoter Bryan Rabin,
Patricia was overheard gushing to a friend that she just met her
"hero." Yes, it was indeed a goth and '80s lovefest as all members of
Siouxsie & the Banshees and Blondie basked in the adoration from such guests as
Lydia Lunch, Macy Gray,
Rosanna Arquette, Nina Hagen, the
Runaways' Cherie Currie, Matt
Sorum, Danny Saber, Jeremy Scott, members of the Melvins and Danzig, David LaChappelle,
Bauhaus/Love
and Rockets' Kevin
Haskins, and others.
Other highlights
from the soiree (yes, we were luckily there):
Blondie's Deborah Harry has always been a hottie and
fashionista, but we must say that people were simply in awe over her
healthy new weight. The blonde babe appeared to be down to a perfect size
8! Bravo!
The 47-year-old
(ahem, 45 VB!) Siouxsie Sioux didn't look
a day over 30 in her stunning Asian-inspired, long purple/grayish silky
dress and her flawless skin. The topper was her short 'do that could best
be described as a Twiggy-era pixie cut meets a
modern mullet with a mod touch.
Unconfirmed
rumor of the night: Lydia Lunch, Nina Hagen, and
Siouxsie were spotted getting giddy together, jokingly calling
themselves the original Spice
Girls, until one of the ferocious three corrected,
"No, we're the 'lice' girls!" What silly girls!
Paris Hilton –- you know, one of the two blonde "sex,
drugs, and rock and roll" daughters of the Hilton clan -– pulled a
big-time dumbass move when she accidentally-on-purpose knocked right into
Siouxsie and her friends and goes, "Oh Hiiiiii." Siouxsie just sneered at the
youngin.
Nina Hagen caused
quite the stir when she entered the party, asking immediately for "what
the English goddess" is drinking and motioning the shape of a large
martini glass. (Siouxsie was drinking
cosmopolitans for the evening.)
Mad props go
out to the powers-that-be behind the fabulous party: Bryan Rabin of Rabin
Rodgers Productions; hosts Michele Lamy, Rick Owens, Joseph Brooks, and
Michael Schmidt; and DJs Howie Pyro (Danzig, D Generation), Paul Zone (who was in the '70s
punk band the Fast),
and Brooks. |
