Before I type my review of the movie Eight Miles High
I’ve GOT to have PG Tips right now, with 1.5 packets of stevia and a splash of milk. The tamale will absorb some of the queasiness in my tummy.
Good times were had last night. An old friend comes to Seattle about once a month for work and we’ve been doing our best to make it a habit to hang out when he’s here. This is the bar of Rob Roy in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle. I’d never been and it’s quite the spot. Terrific bartenders and drinks and the decor reminds me of a few places that I enjoy in Los Angeles.
After coming home from the festivities before midnight, Netflix streaming surprised me once again. They had the movie 8 Miles High, which is based on the book Das Wilde Leben/High Times (German Edition)
Here’s a trailer for the 2007 movie, which is a biopic about Uschi, a Munich-born model, 1960′s counterculture icon, groupie and now, jewelry designer.
The above is footage of the real Uschi in a cult movie called Rote Sonne (Red Sun) from 1969. I love her style and especially the big huge hair and doe-eyes with huge lashes. Now, to either learn German so that I can read her biography or get someone to translate it!! I give the movie Das Wilde Leben 4/5 stars. It’s great eye candy as Ms. Avelon spends a lot of time in the buff throughout this movie. It also happens to be a tender love story. I love her motto: “Don’t dream your life. Live your dreams.”
