STUDIO DIARY #5 (May 5 - May 11, 2000)
Friday 5th of May
A much more productive day today. Thank god!
We worked on a really sparse, rhythmic song and I got to be all sultry and sexy. It was super fun.
Took a break and went to a Pilates class and managed to do some sit-ups whilst hanging upside down from a metal bar!!!
Man...I feel like I'm in the army. I hope all this exercise doesn't turn me into a demented squaddie!!!!!!
Watched Moby on Leno last night which was very cool indeed. He so makes me laugh. Don't you think he's just the cutest? I just loved the way he kissed the model who came up to shake his hand at the end of his performance. He didn't kiss her in a cool rock star way at all but like a little boy who simply could not believe his luck!!!!!
Ha ha ha....................
Saturday 6th
One of my girlfriends called me this morning because she had seen something on VHI regarding the comment I had made about Jennifer Lopez in this month's Q Magazine.
Oh woopsie!
Maybe Puffy will have me shot now!!!!!
See...the thing that upsets me about La Lopez is the fact that she's a really smart, talented and beautiful woman who could really help to alter the way the media represents women and thus how society perceives them. However instead of using her popularity to portray a picture of the intelligent, successful, gifted beauty which she most undoubtedly is, she resorts instead to seeking attention of the lowest common denominator. That of collecting praise for her tits and ass.
I mean....how fucking MUNDANE is THAT?
And consequently...instead of everyone talking about what a great actress she is or what a positive role model she might have been, (we'll forget about the ill-advised although not entirely unsuccessful foray into popular music) all that anyone concentrates on is how much booty she's revealing.
I feel saddened that she has diminished herself so.
C'mon Jennifer.....you're playing into our hands. We'll eat you alive one way or another if you allow us to!!!!!!!
Don't you realize that you have to wield your charms like a shield? You don't go inviting everyone in. Instead you keep them waiting at the door so they are unable to feast on you. You keep something for yourself and only share it with those whom you chose.
You'd do better to display courage and strength. Intelligence and talent. Make us all sick that you can be all THAT whilst walking the earth as a breathtaking beauty.
That way YOU win.
This is the end of the rant.
Sorry.

Sunday 7th
Well normally I don't write on Sundays because every girl has to enjoy an official "day off" every once and a while but I feel I NEED to go off on one about Ridley Scott's new blockbuster "Gladiator". Have you seen it yet? You should. It's total extravagant fun.
It's like one of those wonderful old epics that Hollywood used to make in the late 50's and early 1960's. Millions of extras and grand scale sets with a wonderful cast to boot!!!
OOOOOOh...and Joaquin Phoenix plays a magnificent Shakespearean sicko. And Oh my god......I want to lick Russell Crowe's armpits like I haven't wanted to lick anybody's in YEARS. He is SO hot in this movie, it's SICK. Surely he must have walked around that set with a perpetual hard-on. He plays a classic "hero" of the highest order. The kind of part that every hetero male actor must surely dream of landing.
Mmmmmmm....maybe I'm going to have to go and rent "LA Confidential" again just to swoon a little more at his manliness.
Monday 8th of May
We got quite a bit of work done today which made us all relax and enjoy ourselves. We came up with a new song which kept us occupied until 1am and I went home and flopped into bed almost immediately. Earlier in the day I'd also managed to squeeze in an hour and a half on my guitar plus a workout with my trainer. I am feeling super SMUG.
Tuesday 9th of May
Start the day with an interview with Vogue Magazine. Apparently I've been voted as one of the 100 best dressed women in the world!!!! HA ha ha....I nearly fell to the floor when the journalist told me that. I'd venture to suggest that perhaps there has been a terrible mistake made here. Some miscommunication or wiggling of wires.
Honestly...the weirdest of things keep happening to me. I've no idea why. We rigged out the studio with candles this afternoon........huge big chunky ones that smell of oriental spice and then installed a big mirror ball in the recording room and hit it with a single spotlight so that it throws tiny shards of diamond light across the blackness.
Quite quite lovely.
Wednesday 10th of May.
Continued working on a new song we came up with late last night. Can't believe my luck but I've practically finished all the lyrics to it already. Sometimes it comes so easy it's almost obscene!!!!!!!! And then at other times...MOST times.......it's just so fucking HARD it seems like it will never come.
Thursday 11th
We've had a bit of a washout today........zero energy and glum faces. Steve however did manage to put a cool sounding guitar part down on one of the tracks and then we cut it up until it sounded like it came from outerspace which was our only (albeit magnificent!!!) achievement of the day.
One of our record company "moguls" is taking us out to dinner tonight so we've finished for the day and are patiently awaiting his arrival. The boys are upstairs on the balcony having a beer and a smoke whilst I practice my guitar and hammer hammer hammer on my lap top lover.
