FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: I got to the bottom of DIE ANTWOORD's hair situations. Exclusive photos of Yo-Landi and Ninja and an interview with those responsible for the South African Hillbilly look can be seen HERE.

Sooooo..... who else is going to be in the desert this weekend? I'll be shooting fashion and celebrity photos for work when I'm not screaming for Jay-Z, Phoenix, Major Lazer, xx, White Rabbits, Charlotte Gainesbourg, Miike Snow, Die Antwoord, Girls, Julian Casablancas, The Specials, La Roux and Yeasayer. I'm NOT psyched about an outdoor music festival for 3 days, but I am VERY VERY psyched about staying in Palm Springs two weekends in a row.

Speaking of, Lenski and I had a joint birthday party in Palm Springs this weekend. Highlights:

- Many, many naked people in a pool (not me)

- Lots of beautiful, gorgeous girls in bikinis

- An impromptu Vogue Italia photo shoot, McQueen dresses and Prada shoes with built-in lingerie

- DIY Bloody Marys at the Ace hotel (as well as gay, oily bohunks having a big gay dance party around the pool to celebrate WHITE WEEKEND)

- Spa at the Viceroy, lemonade vodkas on the veranda (we got kind of honkey)

- Dinner at The Parker Hotel, the grounds of which were AMAZING.
- A Polka/accorddion cover of Outkast's Hey Yeah
- Daniel's dog aka JEFFREY DAHMER first humped, then ate a giant teddy bear. Teddy bear guts all over the pool area, soaking and glistening under the moonlight. Pretty gruesome scene.

- Thrifting and architecture I could DIE for

- Sun, mountains, stars, fresh air, and palm trees that are so beautiful it makes me resent the rest of the country

Once I round up all the photos I'll blog em up. Meantime, here are the Coachella parties. If you'll be at any of these HOLLERRRRR...
