So a couple weeks ago I went to a local thrift shop that I used to frequent and found a RADICAL {and silly – but I like clothes with a sense of humor} light purple blazer that just so happen to have the original Nordstrom tag on it. It was priced at $34 and when …
It’s an unusually busy week for us! Last night we headed to The Derby to check out my uncle’s band Sitcom Neighbor and they were awesome! It’s so great to see my uncle wailing on the drums. We’re a very musical family. My grandpa and two uncles are drummers and my late grandma and her …
For the last couple of months {actually, much longer} I’ve been noticing a resurgence of Polaroid photos – artistic Polaroids. EVERYWHERE. And honestly, I like it. It ads a vintage feel to almost any subject matter and a depth that you don’t see as much in digital photography. But mostly {speaking from my past}, Polaroids …
We just started off our 4th by watching the 2008 Nathan’s hot dog eating contest over breakfast. mmmm. Last year I watched Joey Chestnut beat the six-year winning Takeru Kobayashi by eathing 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes. Kobayashi claimed he had an injured jaw and that is what lost it for him. I couldn’t …
Penthouse Pool I LOVE photographer Slim Aarons work. LOVE. Not sure if I made that clear but in case you didn’t get that, it’s love. The pools, the beaches, the houses, the 1960’s and 1970’s and 1980’s fabulousity …uh, it’s my dream life. I’m particularly fond of {feeling fabulous} entertaining at home and especially throwing …
…and to start off the festivities, I just polished off a tear’n share (um, king size) bag of peanut m&m’s. That’s right. It’s 9:33am. …and then I found these chairs …this bed …and this chaise How fab, right? I mean, the chaise looks like a water! Okay, actually , Couture Carrie left me a comment …
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but …
Circa: 2008 Circa: 1988 …yes, they are the same pair. Note* the title of this post is actually a line from the chorus of a Hyper Crush song called Discotech. One last one… because it’s all gritty and makes me laugh (also from 2008)
I am so bored right now (and by right now I mean in general, not this exact nowness) that I can’t even come up with anything interesting to post about. I think the heat has zapped my inspiration of anything creative. It’s possible that everything just seams lame to me right now which means I’m …
According to Cartier, today (June 19) is Love Day. Is it a ploy to make more money for their LoveCharity? I dunno, probably -but the bracelet is quite cute (I’ll take one) and why not celebrate love? If not everyday then at least one day a year. (yes, that’s sarcasm)
June 12 (2007), a new anniversary for me. Last April I scheduled an appointment with a new gynecologist who also happened to be an infertility specialist. I went in for the normal yearly check-up; got weighed (fun), changed into a paper towel (awesome), and sat on the wax papered table and waited for the Dr. …
I abused you for over ten years, filling you with smoke and tar and nicotine and poison and still you allow oxygen to travel in and out of you to keep me alive. For this I apologize and thank you simultaneously. Today is exactly two years since I decided to quit abusing you and start …
So… we went to Vegas… again. This is our annual Vegas trip/photo documentary. The Drive: I know we’re getting close when I start seeing billboard signs for lame shit. This one was rotating LeRoy’s – and I got lucky and caught it before we drove by. This may be one of my favorite photos ever. …
Hello 32… Today I am officially 32. How do I feel? Sick. My husband and I both returned from Vegas only to get sick for the rest of our vacation. The good part? We are on the last episode of the first season of LOST …and we would have never gotten this far had we …
For my 30th b-day, the husband and I rented out Skateland in Northridge and threw and 80’s themed roller disco. It was hilariously amazing and totally awesome! This was one of my most memorable birthdays because during the hokey-pokey, while I was standing in the middle of a circle of our friends, turning myself around, …
