Vega$

Yesterday, I flew down to Vegas to swim up to my eyeballs in apparel. I walked Project, ENK, Slate, and the list goes on. It all starts to blend together quickly but there are always a few standouts. I.e. a great casual Men's line - where is the ladies people. Called Save or Save Khaki really caught my eye; beautiful colors, fabrics, simple lines, fab stuff. They have a store in NYC and sell all over but no website for these folks. I did manage to poach a photo of thenewblog.net - which is GREEAATTTT if you dont know it.

Bringing out My Inner 13yo

Even though I dropped and broke a full glass jug of juice on my toe at the grocery last night. Which now leaves me with a bloody, bruised and swollen digit I am still writing to you today. See the dedication I have to you my loyal readers!!!

Yesterday while reading the NY Times this headline flashed across my eyes....Hugh R. Butt, 98, Doctor Whose Studies Helped With Blood Problems. I know its so immature and terrible to make fun of the dead but I felt like I was watching the segment on the Leno Show when he shows those silly headlines.

And then there was this line....where Dr. Butt was head of the division of gastroenterology. I know so immature Dr Butt the head of gas....ok I should stop....The entire article is here - RIP Dr Hugh Butt.

Off to Vegas be back Wed, maybe....

I personally, like the idea of making a single one, placing in jar and using it for outdoor lighting.

China part II

My friend is safe and on her way back (aka deported). She also made her way into the NY Times and many other news outlets around the world. Click here for the NY Times piece.

Arrested...

My American friend was arrested in China yesterday...Since I am not exactly LOVING China at the moment....Here's a photo of the current air quality in China, great for athletes. No worries, they will never see this photo from my blog - because blogs are BANNED in China. Yeah, doesn't that go along well with Coke and the Olympic spirit....please note the sarcasm.

You tube

Wow - thats timely. I created the Brett Westfall post over a week ago. I see it arrived in my blog on Friday.

From Wall Art to Shirt Art

Brett Westfall in action. His art was spotted by the CDG team and he now has a collection of tees at the shop!

Eton - Stronghold

Last night I went to a party above Stronghold on Abbot. If you haven't had a chance to check out this shop, I highly recommend it! Its like stepping back in time, very iconic Americana, all the brands are long standing American companies.
On to my story... in the gift bag there was a Solar-Powered, Self-Powered AM/FM/Weatherband Portable Radio with Flashlight and Cell Phone Charger by Eton. This is a great lil' gadget. Cant wait to bring it to the beach and I guess its a good thing to have on hand, should the BIG one hit LA.

Have a great weekend!!!

Gjelina v Kitchen Cafe

A new spot opened on Abbot - called Gjelina. Its good and the decor is lovely. There is no website but here's a daily candy posting http://www.dailycandy.com/los_angeles/article/37954/Beat+the+Hush

The funny thing is - while in Boulder I spend A LOT of time at the Kitchen and while Gjelina doesn't necessarily remind me of the Kitchen they have many of the same items. I mean we are talking to a tee - take the argula, sweet corn and ricotta salata salad. SAME. Pot a Creme - SAME.

Its just odd thats all....
