WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS?

Posted: 09/04/2011 01:07:00 | Comments: 93

Dear All !

I am in Las Vegas. Having wonderful time. Haven't seen Soul for a while but am sure will be back around at some point.

Tonight is my 2nd night of Plastique Fantastique at the Cosmpolitan hotel. On at 10.30 + it's free. But any donations will be humbly put toward Marina Charity of Martini Tasting.

I went to Hollywood for 3 weeks for some musical endeavours. I really got into the fashion on my bou-le-vard. To be honest, I was unfortunate in that my particular boulevard was filled with shops for "Playmates" and adult movie stars. But everything fit like a bloody DREAM. So Hey. I bought loads and loads of new dresses, huge glittering boots, knitted hats made out of playing cards, one dollar vinyl. I dont even care what the record is, I just like the artwork.

I have decided I want to be the epitome of fluffy wuffy bimbo-brain world at the mo. It is quite the ammunition. "Oh look at her, a lil piece o fluff, walking down the road in her fluffy pink brain". Then one day catch them off guard one day mid- conversation and reveal my true superior levels of intelligence which have become accustomed to. They will feel almighty embarrassment for judging me too soon. Then, I suppose, they will fall in love with me. Almost immediately.

I must go. I have to go visit a buffet. The novelty of free food never does wears off. I asked people who were old, rich 'n famous so that means I know the answer is correct.

Here is me, above, walking down the vodka bar of dreams.

Love,

Marina

PS- I will get back on the blogs again soon. There was a really interesting paragraph I wanted to type up from a short story by Dorothy Parker. About how a gentlemen tells his girl that he loves conservative dressing on when. When the reality is that he is also attracted to the opposite. But would never want to BE with the opposite in, or take the opposite seriously. The woman oft sits down confused and sighs dramatically. And sometimes puts her head in her heads, like in a film.

I have not really done Dorothy Parker justice here. Sorry, DoT.

I would really like to wish Marina all the best with what ever she decides to do. I've whinged that she has appeared to neglect her fanbase, but in reality we have no claim on her attention. The energy expended in touring and writing and recording would be all consuming. I just hope that Hollywood hasn't actually infected her brain, but if it has, well I hope it's what she wants. I don't know her personally, but even if I did, what right do I have to say her image should be this or that. So Marina, you do what you know best, and all the best. :) Never let others tell you what to be, unless of course you agree with them. :)
Looking forward to your new album.

@MDIAMONDS05 Don't worry, Marina won't neglect us. With so much touring I'm surprised M is still finding the time to write new material. I'm looking forward to hearing the new album; I know it's going to be excellent, so I'm prepared to wait (for years if I have to, though I hope not).

It makes me deeply sorry for all the fans including myself to be neglected this way. I love marina, her music, style, and blogs! but I've got to say why did she leave us? I don't want to sound like a divorced junkie, but really we love her! She's one of the best artists i ever listened to, i mean i was on heaven listening to her music and reading her amazing blogs, and then she does this, put us down right back to earth. If Hollywood truly infected her brain, if it truly ate out her heart, and ripped out her soul, then i ask myself, is this truly what she wanted,her fame? and did she just string us along for the ride. she is such a talent, such a beauty, but really to leave us like this will never be right, if she did leave us,that is.

Thanks abhimanyu@techmagnate.com - how timely your post was. I was in fact going to create my own photo booth for my next soiree or hijack on from my local post office - you have saved my life. in the old days of course it was easy to pretend ( in the days of Woolies) that we had some groovy sounds by asking to hear some 7" vinyl and then moving over to the photo booth to capture the rapture. Golden days for sure.

I see too that you also promote bath lifts - do you get a minute's peace? How do you manage? I am sure that Marina, when she gets a minute will be keen to let you know her view your posts on her site. Perhaps.

Hey here is¬ my very first comment on your site. I have been reading your blog for a while and thought I would completely pop in and drop a friendly note. It is great stuff indeed. I also wanted to ask...is there a way to subscribe to your site via email or something?

I thought I might just leave a bit of an explanation to my comment below, as it could be misconstrued as some sort of comment by a homicidal pyromaniac. I have nothing against the suburb of Hollywood, the studios, and I don't wish anyone or anything to be burnt. By "Hollywood" I mean the Hollywood scene, encompassing all the gift wrapped, "designed to sell" gymickry which comes to us through the mass media etc. It encompasses the Murdoch empire, almost the entire movie scene and parts of the music scene, and all bits in between. In my mind it is at the opposite end of the spectrum to art. For example it brings us things like "Glee". True gag material and an insult to music everywhere. It's also part of a huge corporate machine. This machine has no heart and takes young artists and forces them to change to do it's will or just breaks them. It doesn't care about art, it cares about sales. This can have a devastating effect on the artist who lives their art. How many artists have we lost due to these sort of totally unnatural pressures. The effects can be addictions, and other self destructive behaviour that can end people. Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and others who have been forced into an unnatural pressure cooker world and end up lost. That's what I hate. The tinsel town, done up like something new, but underneath is full of real sadness and misery, addiction and despair, all for the dollar.

Marina, please tell us "Yanks" when you plan on an American tour, specifically including Northern California, and to be direct, Marin County Civic Center. You would FILL the place, and maybe for 2 nights or as long as you wanted to stay in this amazing county of California. You would LOVE it. You could also have fun in San Francisco! Maybe a concert there, as well.

when it's late at night, I'm so dissatisfied!
it's days like these where this line makes too much sense :/
13th of August.. can't wait :D

@TY - She did say she was going to spend some time in the US this year - her next tour dates are in Europe anyway. Leftfield probably did better dance tracks than Marina's originals. If looking for inspiration on tumblr look hard. Hayley Williams is supposed to be one of the better ones - fine if you like animgifs perhaps

OK. I think it's pretty clear Marina is never coming back. Damn Hollywood, it infected her brain.

Here's a song about Hollywood.

Ok, so back to Marina coming to this festival in brazil I've mentioned before (thank you @anjathediamond for the attention :D), 679 told me "no" and I was relieved, but now I got other news again and I'm back to MUST SELL A KIDNEY TO GET IN, cause the event is already sold out.
So if Marina or some of her people read this and she actually is coming, could you please ask the festival to announce her officially soon so I can, idk, find a kidney buyer. I'm so worried!!!

Hello Marina. I joined your website because I was just listening to some of your music and I just had the strongest urge to somehow send a message to you letting you know how immensely I enjoy ALL of your music, videos, and fashion (but especially music). I really wish that there were more artists like you today, but I suppose that is what makes your music so special. Please, do everything you can to withstand the trials of being in the spotlight, as long as you can continue with your music. It gives me hope that music is not dead; that there are artists out there who haven't been morphed into what the media wants America to look up to. Any way, I will continue listening to your music and being just glad that there are genuine artists like you who are getting their music to the public successfully. :)
Lots of Love,
Linda <3

"playmate fashion" and "sophisticated literature" - marina is really multi-dimensional and surprising ;-)

By the way, I only recently saw an interview of u Marina, with Perez Hilton ( I know, I know, always at least 3 months late.... but that I guess is just the country bumbkin life I lead....) and I was wondering how that oprah idea he gave you was going on??? I think if u ever get the time, u should definitley try that out sometime... Your voice would probably fit that sooo well! I can only imagine!! Please keep us informed!
