I spent yesterday meeting with Jordan Bratman about a new collection of jewellery we have just designed and made for Christina Aguilera to sell on her new website. The pieces are inspired by the story of Mr Waddington and how when he created the board game Monopoly, he needed some counters to move around the board. Finding nothing suitable around, he removed all of the charms from his wife’s bracelet which is why they are a strange collection of hats, shoes, an iron and a sports car etc. The collection for Xtina is a charm necklace made up of charms representing different elements of her life; a gold disc, a microphone, a pair of lips and so on. I then went to the coolest store in LA; Maxfield to do a re-sort of our pieces and to talk about my upcoming event there on May 12th. (Tickets on application).
In the evening Christina, Jordan, Mick Jones (who was headlining Coachella on Sunday with the Gorillas), Miranda his wife, Banksy’s agent, Ron Burkle and a few others had a boozy dinner at Osteria Mozzo on Melrose. Then back to my home from home Chateau Marmont on Sunset. It was of course a late one and I woke to find an unfinished Martini next to my bed… I thought about it but decided 5.30 am was too early for a dry with a twist.
After the show I flew to LA and filmed a part for a VH1 show about Christina called ‘Behind the Music’. I’m such a camera tart, any chance I get I take it! I have been looking for a part in an online car insurance ad, after all Iggy Pop stole my alter ego puppet idea for his insurance ad’s!
