New York New York

So I'm off to Nuevo York this Friday! I can't wait =D I have some great shoots lined up, some paid shoots lined up, and if I have any free time at all, I'm gonna take my ass shopping!!!!! I love NY in the spring and all the fall and I can't wait to get my NY fix of bagels, pizza, and hot dogs. Mmm Mmm Mmm.

W00t

This weekend was friggin awesome. I had not one, but TWO fantasticly fun shoots--- With Brian Kucera and Trish (Trashy T Modelography). Shoots like that are the reason I started modeling in the first place. There's something so special about working with a person who is creative, talented, AND fun as hell. I love it when you just vibe. I can't wait to see the pics!!!!!!!

And then the first home game of the season for USC against Ohio state. That game was so damn fun (for Trojan fans that is). My mom is an Ohio State alumnus, so is my Uncle, so there was all kinds of playful banter leading up to the game. =D Goooood times. Our seats are up higher but over one section from last year. I was worried that they'd suck, but they actually turned out to be pretty good. And half of the same people from last year are sitting near us again... We were like HEYYYYYY, we remember you!!!

College football games always make me super nostalgic for college because football was such a quintessential part of my college experience. I so wish I could go back and do 4 years of undergrad again. Except this time I would be a totally irresponsible student. I wouldn't work. I wouldn't intern. I would just have fun and do what "most" college kids do: party. LOL.

Love our furry and feathered friends?

Then (if you're in CALI) vote YES on Prop 2!

=D

^That's a really good site that goes over the pros and cons.

But basically, it makes sure that farm animals like cows and pigs and chickens have humane living conditions and aren't abused. The only people against it are the huge agra lobbyists because it will cost them money.

^Here's another site that discusses the benefits and has some really upsetting and disturbing (but informative) videos that show you the kind of living conditions for these animals the proposition will PREVENT.


If you're an animal lover like me, let's make sure that farm animals are treated kindly. Vote Yes on Prop 2.

=D

(Excuse me while I step down from my soapbox now. But seriously....let's protect those who can't protect themselves.)

Very Random Weekend

This weekend was hilarious. It was my homegirl from high school's bday, so, since our lives revolve around EATING, we made dinner reservations =D. We decided to try somewhere new to spice it up, so we went to this place called the Whisn'n'Ladle that's supposed to be cute and trendy and "green" but with yummy food....Yes. Interesting combo. They had some funky stuff on the menu, like "poor man's caviar" which is bone marrow that comes served inside the bone and with toast. I passed on that. LOL. But everything that I DID try was super yummy. We were dressed up all super cute. Yup. If IIIIIIII had a dress on, then you KNOW everyone else looked cute, since I wear dresses about 4-5 times a year (not counting photoshoots).

So we're there, laughing up a storm, being loud and rambunctious and having a good ole' time, and all the waitstaff is being super friendly and chopping it up with us. And the way the restaurant is set up, there's only a glass wall separating the seating area from the kitchen so you can see into the kitchen. And so I'm noticing the one chef is kinda cute. And my sister is newly single and could use some dater-types, so I ask the girls if they think the chef is cute. So they all agree, very cute. So then one of the waiters sees us checkin' out the Chef and makes a comment. I tell him we're trying to hook someone up. He asks if she's as cute as the rest of us, and I say it's my big sister, which seemed to make him happy. LOL. And then my best friend says to him in a super serious voice with the best expression EVER on her face......"does the chef like........(dramatic pause) BOOTY?" Cuz my sister has a big ole butt. So our waiter friend says, okay, let's pretend you ladies and me are old friends. Give me your names, act like we're super chummy, and I'll take you back before you leave to introduce you to the chef. So we finish our dinner, he gets a refresher on our names, and takes us back there. I get the chefs # for my sister, find out hes free Tuesday/Wednesday nights, and we leave =D Hilarity. Turns out she happened to meet a French Chef earlier that day when she was getting her nails done. Apparently, chefs are everywhere LOL.


So after dinner we headed to get frozen yogurt at Yogurt World. There was a DJ there spinning, and tell me why he was better than like 90% of the DJ's at clubs? Hilarity. Then we went to take Japanese Sticker Pictures. So fucking hilarious. If they were bigger I'd scan them cuz oh man, they're awesome. And then we did Kareoke. Oh boy. Do we know how to party or what?

<<<<<<<<<<
GOOD times baby. Good times.

My Dog Got Skunked

Right in the face. Poor puppy. He was foaming and frothing at the mouth and he kept shaking his head like that would get rid of the horrible stench. We had to pick up this "skunk off" stuff from the vet, but it didn't really do the trick. One of my mom's friends said that baking powder and vinegar works, so we tried that and it seemed to help a lot.

Which lead me to have a discussion with my boyfriend about skunks, and he says he has NEVER seen or smelled a skunk ever. His excuse is he's an LA boy, born and raised. I call shenanigans on that. There is roadkill skunk everywhere, and it smells. So we had this argument, and now, we're seeing roadkill skunk all over the place. Which means I win =D

Our random arguments are so silly but so hilarious. This weekend we were arguing about the "I'm A Little Teapot" song. NO idea how it even came up. I mean really, what grown ass people in their 20's talk about that song???? :)

But yes. I said the lyrics go like this:
I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle, here is my spout
When I get all steamed up then I shout
JUST tip, me over and pour me out!

He said there's no just. So we decided how we would settle the argument. Look it up on Wikipedia, and then the first google site that comes up. If they say different things, then go to the next google site that comes up and 2/3 wins. I won that one too =D

Hot Yoga

is fucking hot. I know I know, but really. Its 106+ degrees in the room. My sister has been doing it for months now and LOVES it, so she finally convinced me to go with her. I hate the heat. I mean DESPISE the heat. So part of me really didn't think I would survive. But I did! I didn't even have to leave the room or go to child's pose because I needed a break or anything. w00t for me =D

I can see myself MAYBE doing it once a week or so, but not 4-5 times a week like her. Nuh uh. I'd have to buy an entire new work out wardrobe and do a shitload of laundry cuz you are DRENCHED by the end of it. DRENCHED.

The smell of funk is subtle but noticeable when you first enter the room. It bugged me for about the first 10 minutes and then seemed to get less noticeable, probably cuz my ass got more funky. :P It's relaxing and probably really good for you so yeah.... Oh well. I did it. Yay for me.
