let me in your heart, I'll be in your brain.

What a great few past days I've had. I've gotten an incredible amount of things accomplished and everything has just been fabulous. Today, I'm going to spend time with my Mom and older sister. Going to lunch and then shopping. I already had my jog this morning, my legs are sore, but I can't wait until I can do the whole course without any trouble. My endurance is slowly building up. However, the freezing cold weather does sort of add as motivation when I'm jogging....


Your skin care routine is one of the most important parts of your beauty regimen. Choosing the right clenser/toner/moisturizer combination is like finding the Holy Grail. I've been testing and trying TONS of different cleansers, my skin, I'm sure, hates me right now. However, I have found the perfect clenser. I bring to you: Philosophy Purity Made Simple. This little baby does it all. Removes your makeup, dissolves dirt, cleans deep into your pores, along with being pH balanced. The smell is very relaxing, I always feel like I'm at a spa whenever I wash my face. The 16 oz bottle retails at Sephora for $32 and you can get a Travel/To-Go size 3 oz for $10. A little expensive, but definitely worth it! This baby will make your skin radiant!



Andrew Wyeth just passed away yesterday. He was an amazing artist, also my Dad's favorite painter. His exquisite attention to detail and wondrous sketches are what made him famous. He is the only painter who had an exhibition at the White House. He will be missed.



Right now, as cliche as it can be, Jesse McCartney and Frou Frou are my music addictions. I found this great site that makes better album covers than what the original artists use. I couldn't find one made for Frou Frou...how sad. But here is the one for Departure and a few of my favorites..


Dr. Leo Buscaglia is one of my favorite University professors from USC. There are a few quotes I keep dear to my heart:

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

"It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely."

"
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life."

"We live in a small world. Not a leaf falls that doesn't affect a myriad of things. When we reach out to someone in love and the effect is made — everyone, everything which comes in contact with the person we've effected is better for it. Of course, the converse is true, too."

when I grow up I wanna be famous.

As a dedicated Urban Decay Primer Potion fan, when Sephora Beauty Insiders got a chance to purchase the second version in the color, Sin, I immediately jumped on the bandwagon. All in all, it's exactly the same as the original UDPP, same packaging, and almost same price, just $1 more and is tinted. So instead of coming out in a sheer beigey color, this comes out in a bronze metallic shade. This is great if you wear frosts, metallics, or eyeshadows with glitters. Or, if you want to wear it bare as a shadow, that would work as well. Personally, I am just going to stick with the original since I wear more mattes, if I even wear eyeshadow in the first place. If you don't like UD, you can use Too Faced Shadow Insurance, which retails for $17, the same price as UD PP Sin. You always have to use a primer before putting on eyeshadow because it really does add to the life of your eye shadow, significantly reduces creasing, and makes the color pop more.

Right now I'm sipping my avocado smoothie, listening to music, and checking my email. I guess I can never stop multi-tasking! The song I am utterly addicted to at the moment is, "I'm Not Over" by Carolina Liar. It describes almost exactly how I feel. There is also an amazing cover done by Gina Rae on YouTube. I really hope Gina does more recordings, I adore her voice.


Has anyone seen the video of Taylor Momsen dodging the paparazzi? In my opinion, I think it's pretty wicked. It's mostly a staged, rehearsed, double stunt clip for a Nike ad or something. I highly doubt it's actually Taylor. If it is, again, my previous comment. In case you have yet to see it, here is the clip:



My hair appointment went great! I love my hairstylist, Allison. She is wonderful.
I have to admit, she is one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen. She should be posing in front of cameras instead of doing hair! My shoot with Angel was AMAZING. A six hour shoot, two locations, multiple outfit changes and lots of music brought us the end result of 10 gigs worth of fabulous shots. Angela and I had great fun and the Starbucks we bought mid-shoot definitely helped us keep our energy up. After the shoot, Angela and I headed over to her boy's house for a short movie and cookies.


I was feeling pretty inspirational and creative the other day and I wrote this short little quote:
"The story of our life isn't about our success. It's about rising up after we crash to the ground, no matter how frequent that may be. It's about not giving up when we no longer have the will to try. It's about perseverance. Life only becomes magical when you cross the line that draws where the impossible begins. Dream. Hope. Believe. Do. Fight. Survive.
Only then will you rise victorious."

What is everyone doing this weekend? Monday is Martin Luther King Day. This is the first time I haven't entered the Martin Luther King Parade in three years, but I will be there to watch. Please remember to take time to reflect and reminisce on what the dream Dr. King wanted to come true and how far this country has come...but also how much further we could go.

Lastly, ending this entry with a few frames from the shoot. More to come later!

I wanna kiss you do I, I wanna seal the deal. You're something that I want to touch and feel.

Wednesdays have got to be one of my favorite days of the week because I get to see my bestie. Although, I won't be liking it very long thanks to my long school schedule, starting up next week. Changed my shoot from Sam to Angel for tomorrow. I'm so excited! I think we're doing railroad shots outside, even if it's supposed to be 30 something degrees. Who cares about the weather? Good shots are always worth it. Be sure to check out Angel's flickr account here. Below are a few pictures from the last shoot:



Later today I'm going skating and then running a ton of errands. I got wonderful responses to the avocado smoothie! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's so refreshing and healthy. Store bought juices are actually really bad for you, but I love Ocean Spray White Cranberries with Strawberries. However, when it comes to limeade I always make my own. This is great for when you're sick, sore throat, or can't speak. This always helps me after I've been talking a lot and have a hoarse voice.

Kimmie's Limeade
makes one serving

Ingredients:
1 big lime
1 regular glass 75% filled with cold water
2 table spoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of pure/raw honey

Procedure:
  1. Place the lime horizontally on your cutting board. Cut it down the middle vertically. Don't cut it the other way because juice will NOT come out if you do this.
  2. Take a hand juicer and juice the lime as much as you can into a plate or straight into the glass. Keep the pulp, it's incredibly good for you. Pour into the glass and stir.
  3. Stir in the sugar and honey.
  4. Take what's remaining of the lime and cut it into small pieces, about half an inch. Toss into the juice. The skin has good nutrients that take time to come out. Enjoy!

Also, everyone's been asking me what mascara I use. I don't wear a lot of makeup, but I rarely skip out on mascara. Benefit's Bad Gal Lash mascara is absolutely amazing. I swear by it. A waterproof version has yet to come out, but this formula is water resistant. This means that instead of painting your lashes, this formula hugs them. If you do cry, don't dab onto your lashes. Dab around and you shouldn't have any issues with smearing. I have tested and tried this! However, if you get any of this on your clothing it comes out very easily so don't stress!

I've also gotten questions on where I get my jewelry. The answer: everywhere. In the picture below, I'm wearing Betsey Johnson nautical earrings, Juicy Couture charm bracelet, and a Key necklace I got from a special someone for Christmas last year. The chain is from Tiffany & Co. I think almost everyone on the planet has a JC charm bracelet full of charms, so I decided I'm going to keep my plain.


I'm currently working on redecorating/reorganizing my room. I recently added a magnificent piece of art to my walls. It hangs on its own wall because it is so beautiful. Painted by my own friend, Michael J. Lewis. It's oil on canvas and a spectacular capture of the Downtown Dallas skyline from the famed Crescent Hotel. Isn't it gorgeous?


And now for my Gossip Girl commentary. OMFGG! First off, I need to say, I hate Jack! He may be sort of handsome in his own jackassish way, but man, do I hate that Bass. I really hope that Blair didn't sleep with him in exchange for bringing Chuck home. That would just be terrible, but it would also show how utterly devoted Blair is to Chuck and how madly in love she is with him. Lily and Rufus's son? Oh don't even get me started. Those adoptive parents need a hit upside the head. I guess they don't realize how lucky that kid would be if Lily and Rufus decided to send that kid Birthday and Christmas gifts. I really hope Dan and Serena get things together, I really like those two, but my main focus and prority is Blair and Chuck. Jenny and Eric are so siblings. They are too cute as best friends. However, my not so polite side, really wants Nelly to fall face flat on the ground and break her glasses. She's so stupid and immature, but then again so are the rest of "The Girls." Next week should just be mainly a high school drama episode from what I can tell, however I hope some more Chuck and Blair action go down. I could hardly believe Blair finally said no. I almost wanted to cry when I was watching. Oh! Can't wait until next Monday.

I just can't take your tears. I hate this part right here.

It's a new week! School starts back up next week, unfortunately. Sam is going to shoot Angela and I this Thursday, I believe. Also, I'm getting my hair cut on Thursday, so I definitely can't wait for that. My phone has been freezing up lately so I went and got a replacement phone, which is actually a lot better, even if it's the same exact phone I already had, just newer firmware.


The Tet Festival is coming up at the end of this month and the Saturday Ocean Fashion show is underway! Outfits are almost together and rehearsals are this weekend. Meeting the rest of the girls will be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see how it all turns out.

I'm also attending a birthday party for my friend, Maegan this weekend. She's turning 17! Her party is themed. We have to come dressed as our favorite musical artist. I'm going to go as Nikki Sixx or Motley Crue as a whole. Not too sure what I'm going to wear yet, but I look forward to putting an outfit together. I need to fake ink myself up hahah. I'll definitely take pictures!


Lately, I have been eating a lot of fruit. Avocados, strawberries, bananas,oranges, and apples. After my jog later, I'm going to eat strawberries sprinkled with sugar. To me, fresh fruit is always much more delicious than any kind of artificial sweets, excluding cupcakes hahah.


Paid The Container Store a trip in an attempt to find a way to organize my room and got dragged out of there by Angela because I ended up wanting to buy the whole store, which of course would lead me to file bankruptcy. However, I did find this dandy little notebook organizer that I really want. Thankfully, Target had what I was searching for today, so I didn't have to travel to IKEA, which would lead me to another dragged out exit.

There's a new episode of Gossip Girl tonight! I can't wait to see what happens. My next update will be a show review along with maybe a few new pictures. Have a fabulous week!

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life

The Trial is coming along very nicely. I'm addicted to it. I love how I think something is going to happen and then something else does. It's very intriguing. I'm almost done reading. I'm hoping a couple hours put in this weekend will cap it off for me, then I'll start on The Scarlett Letter.

Ever since I was a child, I've been told by my Mother that avocados are very good for you. Once deemed as the "Butter Pear" because of how high in fat it is, nutritionists are now saying the fat in avocados is monounsaturated, aka good fat. Avocados are known to lower cholesterol levels, give you shiny hair, radiant skin, and lower the risk of heart disease. So how are you supposed to eat this holy fruit? There are a couple ways such as: spreading it on your bagel in replacement of cream cheese or use slices of avocado instead of mayo on your sandwiches. However, the only way I have eaten avocado is in smoothie form. I know what you're thinking, "WHAT?!" Trust me, it tastes absolutely fantastic. I am not at all a guacamole fan and I can't bear the thought of avocado in my Uptown Turkey Sandwich from Corner Bakery, so once or twice a week, I grab my blender, knife, and avocado for a healthy smoothie. Below is the recipe:


Kimmie's Avocado Smoothie
makes about three servings

Ingredients:
1 avocado
2 cups of milk
5 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 cup crushed ice

Procedure:
  1. Place the crushed ice into the blender
  2. Slice the avocado in half (around the seed) the long way. Like in the picture above
  3. Scoop the seed out and toss. Spoon the avocado flesh into the blender
  4. Add sugar and approximately 75% of the milk
  5. Blend until roughly mixed. Depending on the power of your blender, by now it should be a little hard for the smoothie to flow in the blender. While the blender is still running (or turned off if you'd like) pour the rest of the milk in.
  6. Continue to blend until a smooth texture.
  7. Pour into cups and serve. Enjoy!

Yesterday, I went jogging just to get my cardio up to par. Completely forgot I had orthodics in my Nikes and in consequence gained blisters on the bottom of my feet by my arches, behind the balls of my feet. For those who are constantly wearing heels and want quick blister relief, try this: Take a needle or safety pin, sterilize it, and pop the blister. Use nonstick gauze to clean up the fluid. You might need tos tick the needle in a couple times to get all of the fluid out. Once that's done, take Neosporin place it over the blister and go to bed. No need to put any gauze or bandaid over it over night. In the morning you should feel much better. Last night, I couldn't walk regularly at all, now I can. It's such a joy.

Bride Wars came out today. It got a D+ review from my morning paper. I'll let you know what I think after this weekend. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

you're not that easy to forget

As of now I'm loving 2009. I feel as if I'm headed in a much better direction in my life. I can't wait to see what is in store for me. I finished reading A Clockwork Orange Monday evening before bed. I utterly adored it. Right now, I'm reading The Trial by Franz Kafka. Viky suggested it to me and my Dad caught me reading it and pointed out that anything by Kafka is really good. I'm compiling a list of books I want to read. Currently at the top is Naked Lunch by William Burroughs.

I'm a horrible Gossip Girl fan. I missed Monday's episode on TV, but luckily I was able to catch it the very next morning thanks to the wonderful Hayley over at Gossip Girl Online. First off, I'm glad Jenny is back in school and there was quite a bit of Eric footage so that made me happy. Chuck and Blair. Oh Chuck and Blair, if only, if only... I feel as if I can truly relate to how Blair feels in her situation. Caring and loving Chuck so much, but it all goes unappreciated. She should get an Emmy for her performances! hahah. Regarding Dan and Serena... hmmm. When I finally got to exhale because they got back together, it felt as if the breath went right back in. There really isn't any time to rest on the Upper East Side. I found this stunning picture of Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester. Aren't they absolutely beautiful?

"The worst thing you've ever done, the darkest thought you've ever had... I will stand by you through anything. Because I love you." -Blair Waldorf

This Friday I'm taking a trip over to Cheesecake Factory to have dinner with friends and maybe catch a movie. I really want to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Brad Pitt is absolutey marvelous in almost every movie he's in. However, Fight Club and Meet Joe Black are my two Brad favorites. Winter is almost over!

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins



One of the things I'm always excited about when the new year arrives is the mecca of winter sports on TV. Two events I always watch are the U.S. Figure Skating National Championships and of course the ESPN Winter X Games. I've watched skating on TV all my life, sometimes it can be a tad banal to sit down and watch something I'm doing every day, but I always force myself to watch Nationals. We're still in the dark as to whether Sasha Cohen will come back and compete. She wrote in her journal entry this past summer and said at a late fall press conference that she would resume training, but whether she will actually put out a short and long program at the event is highly unknown. The only thing I do know, is the US Ladies' Team really needs her. We failed to qualify for the Grand Prix circuit, which I found was disappointing. Take Sasha out however, you still have the wonderful Mirai Nagasu and Caroline Zhang. Over in the Mens' division, I'm hoping Johnny Weir will snatch himself another gold medal and with it a national title. I truly thought Johnny deserved the title last year, but it was given to Evan Lysacek. I love both, but the fluid and artistic Johnny is my favorite.


Kevin Pearce is a huge favorite of mine in Snowboarding over at Winter X. I'm anxious to see how Shaun White, my hero, idol, and crush will do at this event. He's been doing extremely well so far, I hope he's about to put out while under pressure. I should be patriotic and root for Gretchen Bleiler instead of the Aussie, Torah Bright, but I'm not. I want Torah to win this year and she's my clear favorite. Speaking of Snowboarding, I finally got Shaun White Snowboarding. I am absolutely addicted!!! I love that game so much. I've been playing hours a day...I really need to cut back.



I had a lot of fun this past weekend. On Friday, I spent the whole day with the girls, then a late night movie back at my house accompanied with attempted star-gazing through a thick cloudy sky, and a 3 AM game of 13 with my brother and his friends. Saturday, I canceled all of my plans and took a mental health day.

The weather was absolutely marvelous so I went outside to read and catch some sun. The current book my nose is buried in is, A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. I'm absolutely loving it so far! I just started Part 3 of the book and I am more than intrigued. I think after this I'll read some Kafka and then maybe that Guns N' Roses saga/memoir. I still haven't gotten it yet, but I might hold off. I'd be a very nice gift for me however...

For those who love to read I'm going to suggest a few books you should read: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice, The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho, Just Listen by Sarah Dessen, and Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You by Peter Cameron.


In honor of Shaun White, Winter X Games, and the (RED) Campaign, I bring to you my Saturday lounge outfit. Consisting of my favorite pajama shorts and Shaun's HAMME(RED) shirt from GAP. Oh and of course, my brand new baby guitar.


Today is also my best friend, Brooke's birthday! She's having a party in a week or so to celebrate. I got her gift with Angela last week. I really hope she likes it.
Happy Birthday Brooke!

Spring is coming up soon, I'm in the market for a new handbag. I've got some ideas... which one do you like better?

tonight's the night the world begins again

IT'S OFFICIALLY NEW YEARS! 2009 HAS ARRIVED.
Arrivederci to 2008, Bonjour to 2009. My fresh start begins today. I am really excited. Today, I will be spending time with family. It's so rare that all of us are together, what with our crazy schedule.

In 2009, don't forget to remember that our attitude is the most important thing we possess. It is more important than giftedness, talent, appearance, or skill. It will make or break a home, work environment, temple, church, or relationship. We can not change the past or the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have and that is our attitude. Choose to be positive. Choose to rise above the worse. Choose to stand after you've been kicked down. Choose to be too tolerant to be angry and too wise for worry. Choose to be too humble for narcissism and too compassionate for masochists. I truly believe that life is 30% what happens to you and 70% how you react to it. Live wisely, live peacefully. Keep a radiant smile on your face no matter what terrible thing may happen.

To ring in the New Year I sang at a Charity Gala at Maxim. I wore a beautiful green La Femme one-shouldered gown with pleats. It feels very Greek Goddess, Helen of Troy. Every time I wear this gown I feel very clean and fresh, just like the Greeks. My favorite Mythology movie is Helen of Troy, featuring Sienna Guillory as Helen and Matthew Marsden as Paris. Speaking of Helen of Troy, I suggest you check out Alesana's "Third Temptation of Paris". It is such a beautiful song. Absolutely lilting voices and gorgeous piano. Not entirely something you'd expect out of ordinary Alesana. I fell in love the very first time I heard it. To accessorize my dress, I wore gold jewel tone earrings and my black Urban Outfitters tiger bracelet. My hair was very simple, to go with the Greek theme of my gown. I slightly braided the right side behind my bangs and set the rest of my hair into loose curls.

Sam and I were talking about pets yesterday and I decided I want a dog. I'll probably never ever get one... I'm hardly ever home nowadays and I'm so busy what with college, skating, work, and my title. But I looked around and the teacup yorkies are completely adorable! I wish I had time for a dog...

Angie and I ran around Dallas today. While shopping, I saw some of the cutest baby and toddler clothing. I couldn't help but smile. I really wonder what it would be like to be a Mother. I hope I have a girl and a boy. I already have names picked out hahah. Oh how much fun I would have with my kids. Showing them the world, teaching them, passing on my wisdom, and playing with them. Putting cute outfits on them would be a plus. I love how babies and toddlers look. Their innocent eyes. It's just precious.



Our trip was very productive. I got a BCBG blouse that ties around my neck in the back. It's beige and the material feels so cool and soft. The Neiman Marcus Christmas Store was -of course- having a 50% off sale so I purchased some ornaments for our tree next year. On our way to pick up some presents, we got a Milk Chocolate Carmel drink from Godiva. It was heaven. I haven't had one of those since...December 22 of last year. My family has been asking for some of the cookies/biscuits from Godiva so I bought a medium sized box.

Since my birthday is coming up in a few months, I'm in the market for a car. Been doing some research and looking around, keeping my eye out when I'm out and about. My original choice was the Honda Civic, but since they are completely redoing the car I don't think it would be wise to pay for a brand new car when they will be releasing a brand new design in the same year. In addition, I heard Honda service has gotten stingy. They won't even give you a free car wash when you go in for service. The cars I've had my eyes on are: the Volkswagen Jetta and the Nissan Sentra.


Vi wants me to do a makeup tutorial. I think I'll do one with my everyday look sometime this weekend if I have time. So look forward to that!

Tuesday, December 30, 2008

so keep your love lock down

Today was utterly beautiful. I really hope the weather stays just like this for a week or so. It was marvelous to step outside today. Event-wise, today was pretty uneventful, but mentally and emotionally it was significant. 2009 is arriving soon, so I am taking new steps to change my life.

My recent music obsessions are KanYe West and Joseph Veazie (you can look him up on MySpace). KanYe has so many songs off his new album that perfectly describe how I feel, I adore it. Joseph's voice and lyrics make me smile, period.

Right now I'm trying to handle eighty bajillion things at once. Organizing the Saturday Ocean Fashion Show for the upcoming Tet/New Year Festival is definitely taking up a lot of my time. Cutting music, recruiting people, dressing people, etc. Even though it's a tad stressful, all of it will be worth it. I'm ecstatic.

I came up with some new outfits during break. I did a lot of layering. I've exhausted the majority of my sweaters. Sweatshirts are my new favorite at the ice rink. There isn't a hood to slow me down and they're super comfy and warm. Perfect for the ice cold rink.

My sister and I were trying to figure out casual wear outfits and I came up with this: Burgandy t shirt tucked into charcoal gray tailored shorts with floral embossed tights. I topped it off with a sleeveless v-neck button down cardigan full of sequins. Accessorized with a patterned skinny scarf and my favorite Via Spiga peep toe heels.


Chocolate is my guilty pleasure right now. I've had so many different kinds, but I must confess, Lady Godiva is my favorite of the moment. Lindt falls close behind though. Earlier today I came across this wondrous picture of Lindt chocolate as a gorgeous dress. It was my favorite flavor too In addition, I've also noticed (as crazy as this will sound) pricier chocolate doesn't make me break out. It makes my skin better actually. How peculiar.



I made a new friend who I adore. His name is Sam. He's super sweet and loves Guns N' Roses just like I do. We were up quite late last night chatting away. It was fantastic. He's also a photographer and wants to photograph me soon. I need to put together or find some outfits and he's coming up with ideas so, stick with me and you'll see the end results.

This is Sam. Isn't he adorable?

Monday, December 29, 2008

everybody wants someone to love.

So Vi persuaded me to start a blog. I guess I should have a place to organize my haphazard ventings, thoughts, opinions, ideas, and squabbles. It's Winter Break in Texas right now and it's around 41 degrees at night and morning with a high of 50 in the late afternoon. I've had a pretty decent break so far. Lots of friends and family and food! I went over to Angie's with Thien and JC and we all baked approximately 125+ cupcakes. It was great fun!

For Christmas I got, a new acoustic guitar, Olympus FE-370 digital camera, $100 Victoria's Secret, VS undergarments, UGG Boots, novels, a Mitchell Davis t-shirt, Vance made me a Build-A-Bear, picture frames, ornaments, and tons of other stuff.

It's getting cooler in Texas so I'm finally getting the chance to wear my winter fashions. I'm loving sweater dresses with patterned tights, chunky patent leather heels, and I'm addicted to scarves! I've scaled down my makeup routine to just mascara, blush, and brown eyeliner. I'm loving the natural look, even though I love to glam it up sometimes. Simple is best. True beauty always shines better than glamour.

I finally posted Chapter 9 - Introductions of my story, The Key. You should check it out and leave me a review! http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2466938/9/The_Key

Vi has some questions she wants me to answer so here we go!

If my skin is already oily, can i use moisturizer ?
|| Yes, you can! Never ever skip moisturizer. It's probably one of the worst things you can do. If you are to splurge on anything, splurge on this. Clinique has a GREAT collection for different skin types. I recommend,
Superdefense SPF 25 Age Defense Moisturizer - Combination Oily to Oily.

Does paying more money guarantee its a better product ?
|| Definitely not. Some brands are worth the splurge. Skincare and some makeup necessities such as foundation, powder, eyeliner, makeup brushes, and blush are things I'll drop big bucks for. But if it's outrageous then I don't recommend it.

My Tip for this entry is to always wear something on your lips! Lip balm, chapstick, anything! Especially in the winter time. Chapped lips is the absolute worst. If you feel like dropping $10 for lip balm, I love Korres Pomegranate Lip Butter from Sephora. It literally feels AMAZING and tastes great. The color is also very wearable for any occassion.

I'm going to close this entry with a few things: I really, really want Shaun White Snowboarding For PC, an iPhone, despite my hate of Apple products, opaque tights, and I think you should check out Mitchell Davis's videos on YouTube.

Here are some pictures of me in the Mitchell Davis t shirt I got. Keep in mind I have no makeup on at all...sort of just woke up and didn't plan on leaving the house. My sister found some of these nylon type liquid leather leggings at Target, so I put those on and pulled shorts from Forever 21 on underneath. I'm still not quite sure what else I can do with it...but I definitely want to shoot in it the next time Angel and I get together. Oh speaking of Angel, my next shoot is going to be with Angie and it's Cowgirl Themed. Nice, no?
