" I’ve met Bob Dylan. We did one of those nonhandshake handshakes. I was with all guys , and he shook hands with all of them, and then they said "And this is Kate," and I put my hand out, and he didn’t put his hand out. It was one of those. We finally did shake. And then I fainted! "

 

 

" Well, I met Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan in the space of 15 minutes. Frank Sinatra kissed me on the lips.He kissed me on the lips. And then he gave me a filterless cigarette. And then I met Bob Dylan. I came off all lightheaded and had to go sit on his dressing-room steps."

 

 

 

"There was still a twinkle in his blue eyes. Yeah, major. I was with Johnny [Depp] at the time. And Frank came over to me and got all of his security to close in so Johnny couldn’t get to me. I was sitting down having a cigarette, and he just walked in the room, and he spotted me and made a beeline to me. So we were encircled by security in this backstage area, and he’s like, "How are we doing, little Lady?" And I said, "Happy Birthday, Frank!" and I want to shake his hand, and he just lunged at me."

 

" I was doing shows and flying economy and nobody ever fed
me. Or I’d be staying in hotels so cheap that by the time I’d get in, there wasn’t any room service. I didn’t eat for a long time. Not on purpose. You’d be on shoots with bad food or get on a plane, and the food would be so disgusting you couldn’t eat it. You go to a show, and there’s no food at all, so if you’re doing shows back to back, you can forget eating. I remember standing up in the bath one day, and there was a mirror in front of me, and I was so thin! I hated it. I never liked being that skinny."

 

 

"I wasn’t the Amazonian girl that everyone in fashion was used to, with the big tits, all curvy and tall. I was small in comparison. It’s funny, though, because I always thought I was as tall as, like, Christy, and then I’d be doing her makeup in the mirror and realize that I was 5 inches shorter."

"I think about it. When you’re shooting you go to references in your mind. You think about how you should stand in these particular clothes, or how you should move. You think about the different characters you’re playing, really."

 

 

 

"I would say I’m self-taught, but Corinne Day made me less conscious of myself. I was 15, and she’d make me take off my top, and I’d cry. After five years, you get used to it, and you’re not self-conscious anymore. You’re not conscious about your flaws. Bowlegs. Crooked teeth. That is what makes you different from everyone else. But when I was 15, I was like, " Oh no, I don’t want to be different. I want to have big tits! I want to look like Cindy Crawford!"

The fashion scene isn’t so tempting right now. I’m waiting for the september shows. In the meantime though, we have thousands of posts here on Lolita to browse. So let’s :)

i like the romantic, simple style
but i like darker, gothic influenced things as well
as long as it’s simple.

somedays I’m in the role of an old lady
other day’s I’m a bit wild..

i’m more interested in people
than i am in clothes

and i like the clothes better on illustrations
then on people.

oh, and i love fashion photography :)
