Trainwreck Tuesday…on Wednesday!

I’m starting a new series called “Trainwreck Tuesday”. Unfortunately, I got all emo-tastic last night (ugh I’m gonna delete that blog but the song is still killer dolls), so my first official YOU ARE A TRAINWRECK post is now one day late. But I mean, isn’t that kind of fitting? As I mentioned, Drollgirl pointed me in the right direction for this one. Drollgirl is not a trainwreck, for any of you funnies.

Angelyne…YOU ARE A TRAINWRECK.
Yep. that’s right. “Angelyne…the L.A Billboard queen.” If you are from LA, I need not explain any further…but for my dolls who aren’t…She is best known for being, well, Angelyne. She drives a pink Corvette, wears pink clothes, and drags around a poodle named Buddha who is more often pink than white. She is a flamingo in a city of Angels. A big, pink one. Couple of fun facts-”Angelyne” has been popping up on billboards in LA, usually along Sunset but I’ve seen em all the way to Santa Monica, since the mid 80′s, in various skanky poses. She pays for her own billboards, people…and by “pays”, I of course mean shakes “the girls” in some poor, too rich for his own good sugar daddys face to get the paper. Was that rude? Just speaking the truth! Anywhooo… This must make her approximately 60 years old, and since she’s never revealed her actual age, leave it to bloggers like me to speculate…and I’m no mathematician. Angelyne was a candidate during the 2003 California Governor Recall election…Ummm you guys she finished 28th out of 135…and again NO math whiz, but that’s not too shabby, right? GAWWWD I LOVE LA! Can you imagine? Her slogan was UNBEWEAVABLE…“We’ve had Gray, we’ve had Brown, now it’s time for little blonde and pink.” Dolls, I voted in this election, and had I known that this little ball of cotton candy could have been our governor…well, I might have changed my ballot tune.
Things aren’t looking so well for Angelyne. Literally.(There are worse pics. But I’m not going to post them…I’m not a total B, gosh.) Is it weird to say that this kind of saddens me? Kind of…I mean, this is a woman who admittedly will not do interviews unless, demands her manager/pimp- “You bring her a present. She likes presents.”

Well, there you go. I’m taking my cue from her, which seems like a best practice, right? NO TALKING TO ME UNLESS YOU BRING ME A PRESENT. Kidding. Unless you thought I was serious, in which case, game on.

I don’t know how many times I have seen her billboards-the one where she states that”Barbie wants to BE ME” is my fave, and every time I almost crash I get so excited/appalled…and I’ll be bummed when there are no more Angelyne sightings. She personifies LA-a crazy circus, where anything is possible and anyone can be famous for anything…or nothing at all.

OH OH OH! AND she was in Earth Girls Are Easy! Remember that movie? Now, here’s where there is just no argument to the “Trainwreck” title…Angelyne was in the movie for LESS THAN 2 MINUTES PLAYING THE ROLE OF “GAS GIRL.” In that 2 minutes, she did enough damage to garner a Worst Supporting Actress Nomination…wow.

Have I mentioned I love L.A?
XOXO, Liz
