It was an ordinary “Dunch”: It is late lunch and early dinner, according to Louise Linton. This time it was with La Toya Jackson. At the end, it became a journey in memory lane. We have not seen each other for a while. So we reminisced a little among mutual friends: lost one made one was the tally at the end.

Considering where and how we live our lives, it is very difficult to make and have friends. New York, California, and Wash. DC are well known and inspirational places but they are not the best places for friendships. Especially, since most everyone is either famous or powerful or wealthy or all in one, vices are plenty to go around.

IF YOU WANT A FRIEND, GET A DOG

When we settled in Wash DC after Donald Trump became the 45th president, they gave us advice. Here in the Capital, “if you want a friend, get a dog!”

We were not surprised. So we went to a gift shop in San Diego and bought a dozen knives. We carved the names of friends on them to distribute promptly in DC.

We have been making a living from Hollywood for a long time. So we know what back-stabbing means. It is no different in DC or Hollywood than NY where we originally come from.

Friends: Lost One Made One

14 September

Wall Street, Capitol Hill, and Hollywood make a perfect Bermuda Triangle. That, in fact, what made America Great, along with many Great Americans.

Over the years, we got to know many famous, powerful, and wealthy from all three. Nick Chavez was one of them in his own right. He fully represented America.

The other two in our mind that day had birthdays on 14 September. Amy Winehouse was long gone. For Sean Preston Federline, it was his first day to adulthood as an 18.

Nick Chavez

We learned from La Toya that we lost Nick Chavez to cancer in December 2022.

He was a good mutual friend of ours but we have not been in touch since COVID-19.

Nick, a hairdresser of Hollywood celebrities and well to do, was close to us. He was an actor, model, and QVC celeb, who raised horses with his family. He was loved.

His affection towards us was mutual. We both felt at home and great when we spent time together. It was sad to hear he had pancreatic cancer in April 2022.

Amy Winehouse

Amy was “mudered” on 23 July 2011, as far as I am concerned. Coroner examined her cause of death twice in London and determined the same: It was a “natural cause".

In the Globalist West, most everyone nowadays passes from “natural causes”. It is a convenient “cover up” of sorts. Otherwise, it would normally be a “foul play”.

Amy died from “alcohol” poisoning. Much like the case they want us to believe in America: That is, one third of the population in America has mental illness.

Sean Preston Federline

Sean is one of two sons of Kevin Federline and Britney Spears. He just stepped into adulthood, meaning he is free as can be in America. His younger brother is on deck.

Britney’s kids have been living in the custody of their father. Lately, they have not been visiting their mother either. Could it be because of mental illness?
