The parade on Santa monica has started. This Halloween has a half assed feel to it. I hear a lot of people are not dressing up or if they do , it sounds pretty half assed. If you are like this entry late on the Halloween bandwagon , here are some stylish and cheap costume ideas you can still pull off after work. Happy Halloween!
So now it’s Summer. I am excited to be able to fit into a bathing suit and go to as many summer shows as possible. I love the smell of coconut fragranced sun products and the way people act like it’s a privilege not a right to wear less clothing.
It’s also that time to bring out the sunnies and maybe attach a cool old lady chain to them( this prevents me from losing them). I never want to lose my Vintage Gucci Black frames that my Noonie found for me.
Everybody knows that cooking in Summer blows. I still won’t stay away from the oven to make Cake Pops or these Yummies. Speaking of food, my favorite new fruit is the boring old cherry. I can’t get enough of it and will pay for it’s higher price .
Close your eyes and think of all the bs you HAVE to do. Open. Now close your eyes and think of all the cool shit you WANT to do like that Blonde Redhead show at the El Rey, Yamashiro’s Farmers Market(Yes the very same one I told all of you about last year), finally getting on a bike, or just taking a little vacation. These are the thoughts that pump me up enough to blast some Prince and start planning my days. What the hell are YOU going to do first?
EMILY HAINES
I just realized that I LOVE a certain type of music, the kind that requires the singer to have a sweet sugary voice. The kind of music that is light and airy when you are in a bitchy mood. Thank god for these angelic voices to get me through the chaos of everyday life. Ha!
KAZU MAKINO
Please look at this! If only. I would love these on the daily. I can only imagine the price and toppings for such a
high end treat. Caviar ketchup with Kosher Sea Salt? I do. 
I love Netflix more and more. Why didn’t I ever listen when I heard how cool and easy it is? I have been dying to watch all my old faves. I had to rent a classic Tales From The Darkside the Movie. Come on look at the cast Debby Harry, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, Christian Slater, and one of the Lawrence bros. I was truly scared the first time I saw this gem.
I have to say you don’t have to be a fan of horror films to enjoy it. My boyfriend found it entertaining and he can’t stand those types of movies. It offers viewers three stories told by the little Lawrence brother. My favorite is the story about the Gargoyles . It’s a love story.
If you have not seen this movie, treat yourself on a rainy Saturday.
Yes, it is David Bowie’s Birthday!!! I love him. I was telling my mom it’s his birthday today. All she said was” Oh you always liked that weirdo”. Weirdo? Genius more like it. I still remember the day I first saw the Ashes to Ashes video and was entranced by his moves and alien like presence. I knew I had a crush right away. That voice made damn sure of it.
I will never be able to say what my favorite Bowie song is. I love all of them. I even loved the songs others claimed were a big mistake like Absolute Beginners, Cool World and anything by his band Tin Machine. Tin Machine’s Amazing is just that. I have tried to be David Bowie for Halloween so many times. Guess what? I am a mexican female and can’t pull it off.
Every time I see a picture of The Thin White Duke, I do a lung drop and say “I love you” . I never cared about the rumors of him being gay, and the drug use. How awesome is it that he and Iman got married? One of my favorite models and favorite singers together. I tried to see his house when I went to New York years ago. This did not happen.
Happy birthday Mr. Bowie and thank you for your music that gets me through a workout, and movies that me me happy on any given day(Labyrinth , Absolute Beginners,and the Hunger). I have been on your side since I was 8. 
I love food and snacks. I really love food and snacks from places around the world. Japan is my favorite. Thanks to my friend Shinobu, I have been introduced to some new treats. I love Hi-Chew and these yummy ramen chips. The ramen chips are perfect with soup, and are under 2 bucks at Famima . Hi-Chew is so addicting.
Japanese create the best sweets with interesting color and flavor combos. Thank god for Famima and Shinobu.
My friend Dahlia once told me about an amazing Mexican food place in our Koreatown neighborhood. I am so glad I 
listened to her . The girl knows her late night munchies. I love my Mexican food . I knew it was going to be a regular place for me as soon as I walked in. The creepy color theme, the signs that read READ THE BIBLE (hilarious), and the clean cooking areas.
I ordered a Nachos Supreme and fell in love. The chips are homemade and greasy, cheese oozing, fresh avocado instead of guac, carne asada with just enough spices, and crema. So what I work out. I bet it’s easily 2,000 cal.
I felt like I was in Tj with all the corny vending machines and customers with silver filled teeth. The place smells like an eighth grade dance with all the cheesy cologne. I don’t care. I will gladly circle my car for 15 min. to get that to go plate of nachos. I mean where can you get great Authentic Mexican food , buy a bible, and get some fun eye candy in KoreaTown? Mariela’s Taco of course. Enjoy
Halloween is my all time favorite Holiday! I like it even more than my Birthday. It is the one day we can act a fool and blame it on the costume we were wearing. It allows you to be the naughty nurse, the inner geek, or just a Superhero. I love dressing up and now that I have a boyfriend , find it more of a challenge. Last year we did the Beetlejuice couple(pre driving into a ditch. It was a last minute costume and the funny thing is my boyfriend’s version of Alec Baldwin was more of a hit. This from the guy who DOES NOT celebrate Halloween.
Another reason I celebrate Halloween, it’s my anniversary with my boyfriend Adrian. It was on this famed holiday that I got him to accept Halloween and accept me as more than a “friend”. Fuck it here is the shortlist of Why I Love Halloween!
1. The smell of Latex Mask when you walk down the aisle of Rite Aid.
2. Popcorn Balls and the evidence it leaves behind.
3. Carving your pumpkin and roasting the seeds.
4. Watching Nightmare Before Xmas at The El Capitan.
5. All the yummy drinks and treats at parties.
6. Trick or Treaters at your door.
7. The wonderful smell of pumpkin lit up on the porch.
8. Watching any Paula Dean special on Halloween treats.
9. Having to see all the wrong people wearing slutty/skanky/naughty outfits. It is a privilege not a right ladies!
10. Waking up to a pillow covered in fake blood or any other face make up from the 99 cent store.
