Wow. I’m sitting here listening to my new Bette Midler ‘Live at Last’ album in my new teal sequin dress (I didn’t ask for presents, but I wouldn’t say no!) and still feeling ecstatic.
My Bat Mitzvah went off without a hitch: no rain, my gluegun lasted just long enough to make the cake (a Hanukkah-like miracle), and there was a line down the block! I literally had the time of my life and I’m grateful to everyone for dressing up gorgeous, dancing the Horah, and helping me live out this perverted dream!
Seriously, I feel like I’ve made it — not as a star or anything, but as a person in the kind of world I want to live in. And I’ve already heard such overwhelmingly positive feedback — who knows, maybe Lil Miss will throw more parties in her new-found womanhood? (But for now she’s going to sleep for days.)
And the best part: we raised $1500 for the US Social Forum! (If you want to learn/give more, click here.)
Be sure to check out your PHOTOS! (After the jump.) And of course, huge thanks to Mikeomatosis and Justin for snapping them!
Also, while I’m doing thank-yous, let me name all the people I didn’t get to name last night:
PERFORMERS: Sandra O. Noshidi’n't (my sister and co-hostess), Monistat, Mona G. Hawd, Anna Conda, Starr69, Dean Disaster, Vivvyanne ForeverMORE!, and Jupiter!
GO GO GOYS: Sweetcheeks, David, Ryan, Ellie, Julie
DJs: 510’s Finest, Mylo Pony, Pink Lightning
DOOR & COAT CHECK VOLUNTEERS: Ivan, Brittney (with special thanks for the cake!), Louisa, Sarah (with special thanks for my hair piece!), Ed, Sepi, Cary, Devon, Rachel, Val, Bobby
BAT MITZVAH BOYS: Alex, Marc, Maziar, Sergio
ALL AROUND AMAZING VOLUNTEERS: Jerry Lee, Ed, Ainsley, and Philip
THE BLUE MACAW: Barbara, Josette, and all of the bartenders and other staff!
And the part of the toast I forgot: “Here’s to a world based on love and justice… And where everyone can dress like Lady Gaga if and when we want to!”
xoxo,
Lil Miss Hot Mess

Let me just say that shit is really starting to come together for my Bat Mitzvah and I can not wait. I don’t want to spill all the beans just yet, but I’ve got my DJs 99% confirmed and performers are continuing to trickle in. Stay tuned…

ninth annual holiday mix
Posted by Lil Miss Hot Mess on December 27, 2009
I’m proud to announce that I’ve finally put the finishing touches on my ANNUAL HOLIDAY MIX!
For those who may not know, this is like my holiday card; it’s my cheesy tradition that I do ever year where I let myself get sentimental. I’ve been doing it since my senior year of high school, when I named it “Seasons of Love” after the song from RENT. (There’s too much to say about that now, so I’ll pass.) Don’t worry: it’s not actual holiday music. I originally thought of it as a mix of music that would “evoke the spirit of the holidays” (words of a 17 year old), specifically “love songs and lullabies.” It’s the romantic in me. Well, it’s evolved over the years, but still fits roughly into this theme. I think I’m officially out of my “over-investment in folk” (as Anne called it). I’ve stopped stealing all of my music from Logan. You will not find Dave Matthews Band on this mix. Like last year, there are a lot of Torch Songs (or Torch Songs light). And in some cases, it’s even gotten a little more upbeat. Last year’s also felt more political, but maybe that’s just the mood I was in then. Basically, it’s music I’ve been listening to this year or music that I wish I were listening to more often.
This year, I decided to also put together a bonus dance mix. Really, it was an excuse to continue my unexpected devotion to Lady Gaga and to proselytize on her behalf. I like the regular mix to be something you could fall asleep to (it’s often my plane music), or help you get your work done, or play in the background of a dinner party. But sometimes you just want to shake it to the ground, especially to the love songs that would otherwise break your heart. ANYWAY! I did it in 2004 (I think) and one of my professors told me she worked out to it at the gym and it made my day. (I hope you’re still on this list!) So it’s time.
Okay, enough chatter and justification. Just DOWNLOAD IT, and burn it or put it on your iPod or listen on your computer or whatever! And, new this year — you can also STREAM IT! Yes, that’s right! I have gone way beyond 2.0! Preview it, listen at work, whatever. (Note: detailed instructions are at the bottom of the webpage.)
Oh, and please be sure to check out more music by some of these artists — especially the indies or the ones you’re less familiar with!

Happy (half-assed) Holidays, Mary! I’ve been a bad little blogger lately, but I’ll add it to my list of New Year’s resolutions. Here’s to more hot messes in 2010!

Be My Friend!
