THERE IS SPRING IN THE AIR, I LOVE PALM SPRINGS

I have made myself get over one or two phobias, not rats or conmen, but driving, and living on my own. Anyway, what intelligent blonde would want someone in their bed who had to receive two thousand pounds to be there? Who would want a room full of rats running around the floor? Of course they are phobias too, but luckily not in my view at the moment.
I decided to get into my fabulous mustang and drive one and a half hours outside Los Angeles. Here I fell in love in Palm Springs, not with pension plans, but with the mountains. The air, and the mid century furniture were not bad either. I am on my journey to meet the love of my life, a dude on an Harley Davidson who is offering to take me for dinner and a whole lot more.

I found a fantastic house where I imagined entertaining Elvis. He had lived on the street. I am saying little about it.

This is the real Hollywood of old. Kirk Douglas, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Elizabeth Taylor, you could imagine her floating in a caftan down the very glamorous steps of the house I love, into a kidney shaped swimming pool. Leonardo dicaprio and more and more people are escaping Los Angeles into the desert and despite its peaceful appearance,  it is becoming the social hub of California at the week ends.
Coachella the rock festival, people who have a passion for fine mid century furniture,  mid century houses, Palm Dessert Tennis Tournament, and the Palm Springs Film Festival are all flocking there. Of course there are stunning golf courses, old peoples homes, a brilliant museum, delicious food and Saks. I bought a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes which made me tall enough to compete with any top model.

I was meeting one or two friends there.  One an old friend Sean Borg once did my press for a photographic show in Central London, and got crowds of children peeping through the window at it, the show was a sell out. He has the ability to sell.

I stayed at the Parker with a girl friend and was thankful that she was as enthusiastic. The Parker is a lively hotel for the rocking chic. Not a geriatric on the place. It was merry with children and mothers day posies. Even if there had been I love the old and young, the more people the better. I also liked the early morning feeling of this place, its serenity.
I arrived back in Los Angeles having driven the whole distance rather pleased with myself, and realising phobias are just that. I walked into my house and found flowers that truly finished off a wonderful week end. My sons are incredible. They had not forgotten Mothers Day, and I am truly blessed.
I once went to a spooky woman who said I was on the planet to help my sons spread their wings and be as interesting as they should be. I think they are on the planet to confirm my belief that men are wonderful as long as you don't have to pay for their Jimmy Choos.

WHY DOES CELEBRITY AND A CUCUMBER GO TOGETHER

Everybody on the planet is ruled by the Goddesses of celebrity with Jennifer Lopez  fighting up there to be the Virgin Mary and George Clooney the ageing Jesus.  If one more person name drops I shall stab them because their idea of success is not mine.
Thank goodness for  Woody Allen and Tennessee Williams. Life would be a whole lot more dull without these two, who walk hand in hand in Allen's brilliant new film, Jasmine Blue. Cate Blanchett, who played the part of Blanche Dubois in A street car named desire, two or three years ago in Australia,  gives an Oscar winning performance. I defy many women to beat her this year, and Hollywood I am sure will recognise her for her brilliant work, or will they?.
It is a year where women are seen suffering in film. Lovelace which is beautifully acted by Amanda Seyfried is compelling. Lovelace suffered so much for a few measly dollars. 
Another girl acted well is Vanessa Hudgens who completely changed herself for Nick Cages film On Frozen Ground. A little adorable cutie with great style who in the film plays a beaten up whore who is raped with black eyes. 

I must mention my film too, which Justine Glenton acted in, The gun the cake and the butterfly. Although I say it myself, it is an award winning film, Justine should win an Oscar for being with me for three years as well as for her passionate performance.
Emmanuelle Seigner who was in Velvet and Fur directed by Polanski was quite incredible, she played the ditzy out of work actress. I photographed her for Jimmy Choo shoes a few years ago.
I love her ability. V and A is a really engrossing film,  and was a brilliant play. Emmanuelle pulled it off, carried by the music of Desplat's. An incredible combination.

Los Angeles is non stop busy, wonderful. Yesterday I went to a fabulous art show on Fairfax, the street for Skate boarders, where the men are so tall and big. I walked into the most funky looking hair salon on the planet that fits nicely into the sparklier side of LA. Think blue Pucci on drugs and it was definitely on the Goo.
Now I am about to enter the world of my friend Lisa Zane tonight who is singing at Vitellos in Los Angeles.
That is another one with talent.
In the meantime I have dumped hanging out with an old boyfriend who mentioned that I needed Lithium and prescribing it for me as we walked around buying art. He also mentioned eating disorders at least twenty five times, and that I was mad. Well I am, and he was replaceable, and replaced. I had fun though looking through his i phone replacing photographs of his girlfriend with me which he instantly had gobbled up into his waste disposal. 
Why is buying a cucumber so sexy for a man? I was just thinking about making a salad, in Whole Foods, instead men hassle me for dates and my autograph. Maybe it was because I was in gym gear and hadn't had my make up done?.
