Happy New Year!

Welcome 2011!

It's definitely been a crazy past few months, my new job turned into a new role with ever increasing responsibilities (in a good way). I hardly have the free time to be creative outside of work. Luckily, I've been feeding my creative hunger by going to fancy restaurants and stuffing my face! Whee!

Finally Finished!

I've finally finished putting up all my photos from my Far East Escapade to Hong Kong, Phuket, and Shanghai. Thanks so much to my sister for playing host!

In other news, I've been so busy at a new job, new position, and new project that it's been hard to find free time to manage my photos, let alone update my bloggerino. Thankfully, it's started to let up and I'm feeling like I'm starting to get some breathing room. Whew. Which is good, since it's almost Pride month...

...the summer heat, the tank tops, Folsom East and the Pride parade...

.. and my birthday!

Back in the States!

After 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

Ok, 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.
