The DF Interview: Boba Fett on Boba Tea
By DF - Friday March 12th 2010 |
Boba, boba, boba! From the crepuscular canyons of DTLA to the majestic boulevards of mid-city to the salt-tinctured air of seaside Sta Monica, Losanjealous is having a filthy-sexy love affair with the hottest Asian import this side of adopted children for gay parents—Boba! DF sez if you’re not daily consuming two, three, or even six of these delectable “bubble teas” complete with zany spherelets of tasty tapioca, then you’re nobody in this town, mister. And to ride the wave of big boba hype, Losanjealous has scored an interview with the king of boba drinks himself, Star Wars’ own Boba Fett!!!! Let’s listen…
DF: Boba!
Boba Fett: Yes?
DF: Ha, gotcha—I was talking about the drink, not you, Boba Fett!
BF: I see. That was confusing.
DF: So, Boba—Fett, that is!—these crazy boba drinks are blowing up, and I guess you’re thrilled, am I right?
BF: Actually, no. The first I heard of these “bubble tea” beverages was when you contacted me regarding this interview. To be honest, I’m still not sure what they are.
DF: Awesome! So which boba drink is your favorite?

LADD Confidential: L.A. Derby Dolls vs. San Diego Derby Dolls (plus Superfriends) @ the Doll Factory, 3/8/2010
By DF - Wednesday March 10th 2010 |
Los Angeles, CA. 7.13pm. Dusk drops over the Doll Factory. Rain beats down like a pervert pissing in a pantry. Fog enshrouds the Factory entrance, thicker than your Aunt Petunia’s peanut butter porridge. A figure emerges from this fog. It is not DF. It is an opossum feasting on Hot Dog on a Stick-related detritus. Near this opossum, however, DF lurks, clad in rain slicker and Bogart-esque fedora, eyes cast earthward, sucking sullenly on a cigarette and soaking to the bone. Why doesn’t DF split for the cozy confines of the factory? Because I’m trying to set a goddamn noir-y mood, if the freaking title didn’t already make that clear enough. Jeez.
All right, screw this, it’s freezing and wet. Or rather: DF ditches the downpour. Derby awaits. This ain’t just any bout. It’s an extra-league installment. It’s another chapter in the growing LA/SD rivalry. It pits LADD’s finest against all-stars from their sister team to the south. And more: Delicious and distinguished derby dames from around America have competed for three coveted additional roster spots on each team. LA and San Diego are each talent-stacked on their own, so piling on the ringers seems almost obscene. It’s like giving Shaq elevator shoes, or letting Pacquiao in the ring with a pair of brass knuckles.
Live Tonight–Wed 3/10: Delta Spirit @ Bootleg, Little Boots @ El Rey, Olin & The Moon @ Spaceland, Abe Vigoda @ Echo & more
