faschismus in south-west london

ahhh... yay dahling, i spent the day at wimbledon recently. a dream come true. it's like walking around the set of a gralph glauren catalogue shoot. luckily i had a spanking hangover so i hit up the pimms at 10:31 (gates open at 10:30, within those 60 seconds i leveled two large german women discussing mauresmo's triceps and a boy of twelve in purple and green shorts and shirt standing at attention next to court thirteen). fuck 'em, i got there first.
