Things I Love: Holy Childhood Dreams

It was 1995 and I was 13. Pretty much the start of my boy crazy years, and it was also right around the time when my TV didn't budge from MTV. And there he was every afternoon announcing videos like Waterfalls, Scream, You Don't Know How it Feels, and Hootie's I Only Wanna Be With You. And I only wanted to be with him, my favorite VJ, Simon Rex. I thought he was hella fine and hella funny. Have you seen his episode of cribs!? Flash forward to 2007 and Simon Rex had transformed himself in the super foul, nasty as he wants to be, Dirt Nasty. And for some reason I found his totally raunchy, horribly degrading lyrics, and over the top partying songs hilarious. Perhaps because it seems like such a joke to me.
In any case after our recent LA trip where his buddy, Andre Legacy's song "Which Way to the Mondrian" served as our theme song, Vanessa and I decided we needed to get it out of our system and go see them live once and for all. And we had quite the time.
I wore my Unif Flag shirt, you know I like to festive for things, plus I thought a little attention wouldn't hurt.

Also this week I was lunching at the same spot as Tim Lincecum, you know the SF Giants 2 time Cy Young winning picture? Well I garnered up enough up enough courage to introduce myself and thank him for all that he's done for the Giants. I even asked for a picture which resulted in an epic fail...his friend face-timed his own face....
That's Timmy and I behind the camera in his glasses. Bumski!

  4. Ha! I loved Simon Rex too, the name Dirty Nasty is all too appropriate for what he has become. Love all these celebs photos!

  5. This cracked me up because I definitely didn't know that Dirt Nasty was an mtv vj.
