Gap?

Not a big fan of the Gap, can't really pinpoint why. Whatever, I am loving this dress - so simple, just toss it and go!

Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg passed away yesterday, may he rest in peace. I am a big fan of his and all work from the post war contemporary period. Speaking of (this may sound crass), I bet Christie's is wishing they had a piece from RR up for sale in tonight's auction - click here for more info

Don't Drink

the Apple flavored Kool-Aid and I am not an gadget junkie. Recently, I popped in Apple to confirm I wasn't missing anything by not spending the extra hundreds of dollars for a laptop. The kid, as nice as he was, tried to sell me on 'how sexy' the laptop was. I just about burst out laughing!

I am very happy with my Blackberry Pearl and won't rush out for the Blackberry Bold but for those curious folks.....here's a shot

Watch watch

I don't need a watch. I have a few nice ones but these days I don't wear any! If money were no object I would be sporting a Panerai have to admit after cruising around the Nixon site. They have sweet watches at great prices!! Take the player for instance....

Nau Closed

If you haven't heard Nau is closing. Maybe you have never heard of Nau, probably because they are ending before they really got going. I always had my doubts about a brick and mortar shop that required you to wait for your purchase, among other things. Sad story.

Chivas Skin Care


Yesterday, I received this lovely package from Lauren of Chivas Skin Care. It smelled so wonderful as I tore it open, see upper right in photo. Chivas is a socially conscious, Mother Daughter production with goat milk as a main ingredient. Can't wait to hop in the bath tonight!

Serious Grass Roots Marketing

Super High Me features comedian Doug Benson and explores the situation with medical marijuana in California & US, focusing on the conflict between federal and state law and the explosive growth in medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles over the past two years.

Sounds interesting right?

The producers (assuming credit goes here) came up with a so simple yet ingenious campaign -
'Roll Your Own Screening'
Essentially, if you want to screen the film before it drops in June they will send a DVD. Get a group together and show the film. All you cover is the shipping. Great low cost way to build buzz!

Plastic Ocean II

Some time ago I posted the story about the disgusting mounds of plastic building up in the Pacific: http://goldandsilverstars.blogspot.com/2007/05/plastic-nightmare.html
Vice Magazine now has a piece on the very same topic entitled 'Oh, This is Great' - click here for the story.

May Day

Its May 1 aka May Day. The halfway point between the Equinox and Summer Solstice. This means the days are longer and longer and longer for the next few months. Definitely felt this was the plan yesterday but today I awoke to a virtual snowstorm whiteout. Mother Nature certainly is bipolar these days! Here's a shot from my car.....

Weekend Watering Hole

It was a scorcher in LA this weekend....the best thing to do was head to the water and drink some cold frostys. Here is a shot of a bunch of us in Venice. No, its not Tom Cruise but this guy (I forgot his name) sure could be is stand-in. Between you and me he definitely loved the association. Hence the bad photo, I was trying to be covert. I didnt want him to get any more attention....

Paper Bird

I've seen this band a few times now...great harmonies and you would think you have stepped back in time. You want to be sitting by the river in a hammock, drinking lemonade (or lemon drop martini) when listening.
What I love is all the wonderful details - from the extra cute shadow puppet show, to the handmade shirts, custom cd's with fab art and the little paper bird fortunes like the one in the photo. On the back, this one reads....somebody, somewhere is remembering your worst haircut!

Happy Earth Day

Maybe it's not necessary to change out all your light bulbs, go vegan, stop wearing leather shoes or buy a bunch of hemp bags to carry your groceries...what about taking a few moments to appreciate and respect the nature that surrounds you wherever you are! Happy Earth Day!

Lemonade, cookie, dog treat

Here's a drive-by photo of an enterprising little girl from yesterday. You can't see the sign but your options included; cookies, lemonade and dog treats. Both this customer and his pooch left happy.

Back on the Mat!

It's a good day, after almost 8 weeks and losing all flexibility I am back on the mat!!! I am still healing the fracture so it was a little painful but I did make through a yoga class (modified of course) this am.

Once the ortho specified shoes can go away I will be REALLY happy
