Oh my Lovelies,
(Lovelies sounds better so, I'm changing it up!)
I've been many things lately... tired, giddy, lazy, frustrated, stressed. But as of today, I'm feelin' pretty good! Shall i say a bit more balanced? Life can be too much at times. So much to do and so little time for the self. I've been trying to do just that for the past month. May was my birthday month so that meant even more time for the self albeit with tons of partying ;)
So as an "oops, sorry for going MIA" apology, here's a visual recap of what I've been up to.
I'm still semi MIA as I've turned off my facebook and haven't been doing videos either. (Can I just say that even with getting the right cords for my pc, I ran into yet another issue regarding a broken port for my internet cable?!) But I've been on Tumblr because it's just more interesting to me at the moment and doesn't require as much attention. Ah, that's it! I think I ran out of attention to give! However, I'm slowly filling that tank back up. So thank you all for not unsubscribing!
Annnnd..now I'm just working and trying to keep it mellow.. Hope you enjoyed the visuals, do you forgive me for being absent? Do ya?? I totally would have failed grade school at this rate, huh?
May was crazy but June will be a simple month of simple activities. Don't confuse simple with boring though. I have an erotica reading to go to and while I won't be boozing it up nor dancing all night, it'll be very sensual indeed! So, til next time and it won't be over a month until "next time" comes around!

Went to a roof top party..dancing was performed. Fun was had!
I've been in the garden a bit with the Missus, I helped re-pot these aloe plants.
This is the before photo lol *dusts hands off*
The Mustang is back and running like a dream,
snapshot of a little trip to the market.
Went to eat at one of my favorite Thai food places that has really amazing customer service. Plus the clown fish is always entertaining, he snuggles in a bed of sea plants. Plus, plus, seaweed salad and sake are a nice pastime.
Had a Friday date night and walked to Congregation Ale House which has
tons of micro brews ...it's a bit blasphemous (I dig that!) and it's very fun,
also great customer service! T'was cold so we dressed warm and stayed toasty.
Met up with my sisters and visited the Pike.
We also killed zombies and monsters at the arcade and then headed to the beach. Easy breezy day!
Had coffee at a coffee shop I hadn't been to yet.
Nice atmosphere but the vibe wasn't really me. Next!
Though, her coffee was pretty good!
Made a crochet hair flower and finally put the thing to use
..a bobby pin was all I needed.
Stared at things I wanted to get working, like this kerosene lamp
that I still have yet to fill with kerosene. One day..
Used a fabulous coffee butter bar made by my friend Telle *waves*
Suuuuch supple skin after slapping some of this on!
Went to one of my fav Hollywood spots for my pre-birthday celebrations
...vegan shrimp and really good sour soup
After food noms and whatnot, I danced to drum n bass and got really sore..I look happy here but I think I was in pain the next morning.
I dance hard, wouldn't want it any other way!
I also
continued my dancing fever at a Flux Pavillion show,
this time, dubstep,
hard, loud, dubstep ..oh how I love thee! I was recovering from a cold
and a lot of youngsters couldn't seem to handle their alcohol/drugs/jealous lovers but I had a good time!
Celebrated Pride with friends and went to a very hot club, proceeded to sweat profusely as I danced, walked back to the car clammy and caught a cold!
Went on a artsy date to see Cafe Vida, it was a really good play!
I look awkward but I just wanted the poster to show lol..

Summery days are ahead...woo hoo!
And that's not the only nice news, my home pc is almost up! I just have to get it connected to the internet..woo hoo! I plan to post a bit more often..perhaps doing a hair tutorial a bit more often if I can continue to find ones that really inspire me or come up with some on my own.
I'm also working on another page for this site that'll link finished hair styles to their video tutorial. I thought that would be genius because that way, you don't have to look through the whole blog for a tut. Go me!
Soon lovies, reeeeal soon!

I read a post by Lucy Mae some time ago begging the question, where do you eat lunch while at work? For me, the duck pond at my job is one of the most tranquil spots to have lunch at. It's scenic, (usually) quiet and the shrubs and water features are just so calming!
I call it the duck pond because a duck couple has pretty much claimed the the location as their castle. They do share it with the crows and seagulls though. They're pretty used to us humans too. They walk or waddle over to me often! I come out here to clear my head and get some air. Some people smoke out here and that can kill the scenic feel but otherwise it's a lovely little spot. It really has a pseudo feng shui feel to it. Very earthy, lots of shrubs and greenery, rocks, streams and waterfalls here and there. It's the best work lunch spot ever!
Do you take lunch anywhere nice?

By now you're probably quite aware that I really like old things, they're full of stories and I enjoy thinking about their uses, who had them in their possession and where they came from. I try not to think about the fact that a family pet may have perhaps peed on them at one point in time or another. I try to shrug that part off. Here's a very old chest from 1940 that belongs to my sweetheart (who also loves old things) and is now filled with seasonal clothing that shouldn't be worn at the moment. I'm focusing on the details, the details! Why? Because an old chest looks like a simple box but when you see the details, it becomes much more interesting...and I'll admit that I'm a fan of macro-esque photography. Close up shots of bees are just amazing!

A lil' snapshot of me from December at Mug Shot in Downtown L.A. from when I went to see Bitch play. Bitch is an amazing musician if ya didn't know! Quick set but tons of fun! I hope I look this nice if I'm ever taken down to the station - I'm not smiling because ...who smiles during a mug shot photo? ;)

Hey lovies!
I've been down for the count for a few days battling the flu - it's so awful, oh so awful - but I'm feeling much better now and getting the last of the virus out of my system. I only took off three days from work which isn't too bad..most people are out a week or so. So I'll get back to posting now!

Ok, so I didn't actually run it - who would run a marathon in pink jean capris and green chucks? A few weeks back, my sweetheart ran it, a full 26 mile marathon! I was so proud, I ran with her towards the finish line......until they announced that only runners could cross the line! Ooooops HA! Me and my homemade sign scurried off to the left and lost her and then eventually found her. It was fun but oh my, runners looked like they were in utter pain!
Congrats to them all!
I'll do a 5k (only one I've done ever!) but no 26 miles for me..no ma'am! Ever run a marathon before? If so, I'm glad you lived through it!

Yep...I used to make fun of these things when I was younger... "Ugh so ugly!" "Do I have to look this ridiculous when showering?!"
~The Retro Natural
Now look at me...modeling (and loving) my big poofy shower cap ;)
..that's my peachy pleated skirt in the background, gotta wear that this Summer!

Some views of things around that sometimes don't get posted because they're just sitting in a folder somewhere.
Some other DIY bows I made, I need to practice though..they're so so.
Me getting a free hug at Long Beach's Pride. It was BRIGHT outside!
I normally fry my plantains or put them in a shake but these were baked with cinnamon and agave!
A vintage (brass I believe) compact and a very small, gold hand purse from a work dinner.
The menu (all vegan!) from Green Leaves in West Hollywood.
Sleeping ducks near the pond at my job.
Just a snapshot of the color combo, I really like royal blue/silver/black!
Rockabilly band (w/ Vicky Tafoya) that performed at Pride. LOVE her hair!
This is a fun, cool idea because I get to put out photos that don't necessarily have a specific purpose. Maybe I'll do these once a month or so :)
