A little obsessed?


So the Alexander Wang corset shorts have been on my mind since they came out. However the price tag has been what has been keeping them out of my closet. They finally are getting marked down at stores but recently I looked at the front photo again lustfully, then click on the back side and well I think the photo speaks for itself....

Maybe I will wait for the next markdown.

New Colors




I stopped and picked up a couple of new colors on my way to see the ladies. Two OPI colors Jade is the New Black from the 'Hong Kong Collection' and Who the Shrek are you? from the 'Shrek Forever After Brights Collection'. I am in love with 'who the shrek are you?' as it is the closest I am going to get to Chartreuse (which I am so feeling right now) in a nail polish (the combo of the two colors doesn't do it justice!)!
Love it!

Legalize It.




















So depressing. Blurry photo of contestants from RuPaul's Drag Race! Ongina heard me scream like a dork and even posed for Jon!










Jon and I went to the Long Beach Pride Parade. We rode our bikes down so we wouldn't have to waste any time with parking. We met up with Corny, Rian, Rially and Dillon. The parade was radically awesome! Some of the costumes and floats were insane good! We had so much fun!

Imonni/NaNaLa website launch








The greatest Vintage shops ever Imonni and NaNaLa are launching a website. Eiko and Yuske threw a party to celebrate. It was fun to see everyone (even though we completely missed Eiko due to such a late arrival). Fun night with way too many drinks...

Blue stage





Was feeling blue (the color not emotionally) so I brought in a ton of different shades of blue and this is what Cindy was feeling.
I totally love it!

LUSH

Lush was one of my all time favorite bands growing up. The fact that the lead vocals and both guitar parts were both women was beyond anything I could ask for. I was lucky enough to see them live a couple of times and every time they would always blow the young little me away. I have so many different memories attached to this music.
I actually got to meet the lead singer Miki Berenyi when I was in high school (I can;t remember the exact age). The song LadyKillers was huge at the time and they were doing one of those radio station concerts. One of the 'ladykillers' in the song was someone I knew... and entire verse was dedicated to him and to say it wasn't very nice is an understatement but she explained him exact, SO I told her that. She was way into that and took me around for the next hour and introduced me to everyone she knew asked questions and talked shit. It was amazing, I mean someone I idolized taking me around I was dying! Then later that night I ran into the 'ladykiller' which was amazing because she had to have said something and I loved that.
Recently I have been dying to listen to them again so i have been revisiting their music videos. Their style is SO good. Some great outfit inspiration. Finally yesterday while cleaning out the garage I found one of our missing CD cases with every album and have been listening to them back to back to back.
I wish they were still around as their music is simply brilliant!

Mother's Day





Jon and I went and visited my mom on Mother's Day. We took her to lunch with my lil bros and my dad. After lunch we went back to my parents house and then went on a nice long walk around the neighborhood with my mom. A wonderful day.

Neptune's Net












The past weekend was Mother's Day. Jon's parents live up in Thousand Oaks. Jon and I decided to drive up the coast and stop at Neptune's Net for drinks and dinner. I had a Lobster Roll which was out of this world good. I mean just the bread was fantastic and the lobster... yum! Jon had the pulled pork sandwich. The drive was gorgeous and even though the first part of PCH was beyond traffic filled (we found out later it was because part of the 405 was shut down due to construction) the drive was still totally pleasant. Especially being with the person you love.

An evening with David Sedaris









Last Tuesday Jon and I went and saw David Sedaris at the Long Beach Terrace Theater. This is my second time seeing him. He reads excerpts from either novels past, or novels about to come out, or pieces he has written for the New Yorker, Esquire, etc. It was a fun night. We weren't allowed to take photos inside and for once I did not want to break the rules...
