"What do you mean you forgot my birthday!!!!"

So what can I say about a good friend who simultaneously embodies the photographic eye of a Richard Kern, the winking wit of a vintage MST3K skit, the graciousness of an antebellum hostess and somehow mixes it all together with a sybaritic abandon that would be the envy of the Hellfire Club?

Why,thank you of course. That and
Happy Birthday girlsonfilm!

Phil had no idea what the repercussions of a pirate themed night would be like at girlsonfilm until it was quite too late. Next time Phil will remember to bring a bottle of wine to the party!

I have a fond memory of dropping by her old pad over Ansley Park with some friends to chill out from the real world for a little bit. It was one of those hazy nights of wine, conversation and things best not said over the internet. At one point she put on a collection of MST3K shorts she had rented. We all rolled with laughter. My favorite of which was this one:

Richard Kern, Office, 2004. C-print. 76,2 x 101,6 cm

"See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
Then walk right out to the fourline track
There's a camera rolling on her back on her back
And I sense the rhythms humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine"
