Emiko Omori at Viz Cinema in Japantown, SF for a screening of her new documentary Ed Hardy Tattoo the World. He’s old school, man. The entire time I saw his work on screen I just couldn’t help picturing the crazy hats/wine/shirts/energybevs/colognes that have pretty much soured his art. Her hair is rad though.

It's a Girl's Night IN.

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 03:46:00 -0700

At-home facials, experimental mani/pedi’s, sappy movies.. that’s what girls just need in their lives sometimes. Tonight, the roommate, homie, and I opted to sit out 1964 and self-pamper at home instead.

We started out with some sample products, trying to evaluate if any are worthy of full-size purchase. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser was mild and light. Just enough to give us a fresh base to move forward. Next was Queen Helene’s Mint Julep Masque for some clay toxin sucking action. Applied, let dry for about 10 minutes or so, took some photobooth pictures of the green monsters we became, then washed off. After that we tried the Luichel Clarifying Peeling Mask. OK ladies, THIS PRODUCT IS A KEEPER. Unanimously the favorite product of the evening. Fellas, don’t be intimidated to try it. Apply it in a circular motion across all areas of the face, especially that T zone, and dead skin cells will start to accumulate on your fingertips and around the face. Yuck, but at least you know it’s working. Rinse and your skin is baby bottom smooth. Amazing. Next, Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner. I thought it was ok, but still prefer my Borghese toner. Then Sephora’s shake-it-yourself Hydration Mask for 10 minutes. Used the excess on hands and feet as directed. Finished off with some Borghese age-defying eye cream and facial night cream.

Face is soft, supple, and ultra hydrated.

After the facials, it was mani/pedi time. Filed nails into the ever hip round tip. Color: Essie polish in Luxedo. Topped off with some gold speckle powder and NYC fast-drying topcoat.

Paired with two girly, romancy movies, bag of kettlecorn, and gossipy banter rounds off quite the ultimate Girl’s Night IN.

Oh, it's 2011? What happened to 2009?

Wed, 15 Jun 2011 22:04:00 -0700

Happy 2 year anniversary to me & San Francisco.

Well, that was speedy, but not really at the same time. Two years ago today I hauled butt from right to left coast on the eve of my 26th birthday.. newb to the golden state, fresh from graduation. Now 730 days later I’m finally starting to get into the groove of my new life here.. as in i’m not constantly googlemapping everything.

It’s nice. I’m happy with my spontaneous decision to accept a job offer while on vacation here for the first time in February 2009. People always ask, “How do you like San Francisco?” And I always reply, “The weather’s great.” And it is… half of the time. Can’t go too wrong with consistent fall weather all year round though (my favorite season). Especially the rare days like today, where the sun was out and it was warm and breezy.. now the moon is full and it’s nice and cool. What’s best? What’s missing? HUMIDITY. THANK goodness. That’s one thing I don’t mind leaving behind.

I have to admit, the beginnings were rocky. And it still is now perhaps.. but I can handle it better. Made a few friends.. some more acquaintances.. found an amazing significant other. Life’s not bad. Of course my heart is still half empty considering all of family and best friends are still scattered about the east coast. How do I cope? The way I do with everything else, avoid thinking about missing them and telling myself it’s not that bad. At the same time, days fly by.. my parents aren’t getting any younger. Am I being selfish to choose to live here? Therefore not spending time with them? What about my brother? We exchange texts and all, maybe facetime.. but what about face-to-face time? What about sitting around and watching tv or going to the grocery store? Are these memories that I’m missing out on? Not giving them a chance to happen?

Yeah, living here isn’t half bad.. I’m having a good time, but 90% of people in my San Francisco life are acquaintances.. I can only call a handful “friends”. Am I wasting my efforts on them? Not waste as in waste waste because they’re all quite nice & friendly… but you know what I mean. All these outings and intoxicated memories, I guess I’ll look back on them and think of the fun times, but will I regret not having these fun times with loved ones back home? I don’t know. Live with no regrets, right? Because at the same time, if I WAS home, but keep thinking what a fun, care-free life I COULD have elsewhere.. that would be regretful too.

EH.. enough of this babble.

HAPPY ANNI, SF. me heart you long time. thanks for being my city of choice. <3

spring leather for the better

Henry cuir’s Calumet shoulder bag would make for a spring leather goods accessory of choice. Simple, spacious, will match just ‘bout everythang the easy breezy weather brings.

Henry cuir:

Each hand-made product is manufactured using a special stitching technique called Saddle-stitching, a process normally used for making harnesses, in which each product is stitched using one needle after the other interchangeably.The result is strongly-made leather goods that display the warm characteristics of items manufactured by hand.

FLICK OP:

FINAL ANSWER: don’t waste your dollas
