Back in the States!

At JFK - Preparing For Our TripAfter three weeks in Asia, I am back! The whirlwind tour of Hong Kong, Phuket, and Shanghai left me with nearly 1,400 pictures to edit down. Slowly and surely, I'm working through them.

In the meantime, I'm trying to get back into the groove of the city, like remembering to tip at restaurants.

Vacation wrap-up to follow soon!

Uniqlo Meets Lady Gaga

Uniqlo Heat Tech DisplayOk, I'm totally obsessed with Lady GaGa now. I know I'm a little late jumping on this bandwagon, but (unbeknownst to me at the time) I've actually been dancing to her songs since last year in my cardio-video dance classes. The Fame and Money Honey specifically; neither of which I can go the entire day without listening to.

So when I saw this display at Uniqlo, I totally thought I stepped into a Lady GaGa video. Am I right? I would probably place it in... Teeth. (Omg, I love that song.)

Uniqlo's Secret Sauce

Here's a great article on Uniqlo and it's success..

"The brand is making exactly what people want, at prices that make them feel good."

Don't forget the fact they make XS for men! Something that's definitely made them (and kept them) THE go-to store for male fashionistas in New York City; and the reason why I must shop there (at least) once a week.

Worlds AIDS Day

In recognition of World AIDS Day, google has some good resources on how you can help.

World AIDS Day info by Google

I consider myself lucky I have never been through the heart-ache, sorrow, sadness that many others have because of AIDS; and I hope to continue this lucky streak. Be safe ya'll, always.

Thanksgiving Lessons

As the long weekend winds down, there are a few lessons I can take from Thanksgiving this year.

Firstly, having two Thanksgiving dinners in the same day is possible, but not recommended.

Secondly, Black Friday isn't what it used to be, and that should be approached as a challenge.

Thirdly, figuring out what you did on your iPhone the (drunken) night before isn't as fun or easy as it seems.

The End of the NightLastly, your boyfriend will take pictures of you when you're drunk. And you won't remember it.

Happy Thanksgiving ya'll!

Favoritism

Ain't it funny how one person can do something and you think it's cute, and then someone else does the same thing and it's the most annoying thing in the world?

Of course it depends on the type of relationship you have with those people... but the complete dichotomy of reactions is fascinating to me.

Take for example one of my close girlfriends calling me a 'bitch'. I would laugh it off (you know, if I was too drunk to think of an appropriate come back). And yet some other, not so close, friend can say the same thing in the same way, and all that elicits from me is a side-ways stare (followed by an eye-roll).

That's usually my normal reaction when I decide to let things roll off my back. Just thought I'd share.
