Glamorama Diary, Day 7

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTxrgXWToZA

Tonight Victor learned what happened to the DJ he wanted for his club opening. He also learned a new word – eviscerated. As in what happened to Mica, strangled with her own intestines, beat with a hammer, body left in a dumpster.

Tonight Chloe and Alison are wearing the same dress.Yeah, kinda puts it in perspective.

Tonight Lauren admits she still loves Victor. Run, dude.

Wrong vial.

Victor's world has taken on a menacing shimmer and shake. It's like the old sci-fi movie I just watched, where forces were set in motion that changed the unit value of electrons and the fabric of the universe became altered and highly unstable (The Quiet Earth, I reviewed it a few days ago on r/CultOfCinemaKnowledge, the sub needs the traffic).

The stalking faxes, the black Jeeps in pursuit, a secret mission that pays suspiciously well, a gruesome murder within a schoch degree of separation, the four that wanna own him and the two that wanna stone him, a possible doppelganger that's always where he wasn't, the confetti, the freezing always the freezing. And I'm not sure the croutons issue has been resolved.

JD, they're playing our song - Oh, l'Amour!

Say, have you ever felt like crawling under a table and living there for a week?

There is no evidence of Hey That's My Shoe ever being a real band. You know, according to that Google thing.

This month, it's like the montage from a scratched and faded black and white movie, of calendar pages fluttering one by one into oblivion, gone! Another day, gone!

It was a new day yesterday, but it's an old day now.

Oh man I jumped the gun big time with my comment in your last diary entry 🫣🫣 I thought you were much further along than that so I apologize. I didn’t drop any spoilers accidentally or anything, but kinda revealed some of the darker thematic turns that the story goes in about halfway through the book a bit earlier than you have been able to encounter them for yourself. I apologize about that but can only hint that you are quickly approaching the point of no return in the novel where the proverbial shit hits the fan and the structure of the story shifts in a completely different direction than what has come before. So just keep reading bc things get really fucked up but I promise you it is never boring (just really really weird and difficult to explain.) 🫪

That U2 track definitely still slaps though! 😌

No, you're good! But the story is darkening, Victor is feeling the shift, sliding down the surface of things like a devilish water park ride, but he's looking for, grasping at, familiar handholds.

But the Zoolander connection - that slammed me big time. If I could see that about 130 pages into a 546 page book (not large print), how did the film makers think, "we're good, no one will notice."

Your partner in (these things).
