Pyramids and enqlinators...

Umm..I know you cant really tell whats going on so let me explain...One of the reasons why I have not been able to keep on the blog is because I have been traveling so much. Here are one of the places I just got back from..last night.Las Vegas! We stayed at the Luxor Hotel and this is a picture from the 13th floor of all the hotel rooms on the other side! The hotel is a piramid!Instead of elevators there are enqlinators (not quite sure about my spelling) They are elevators that go sideways!!Yeah, weirdest expierience ever. The way the hotel was made was so facinating to me.I had to share it with you guys.Vegas has very interesting buildings everywhere.Its amazing just to go there to look at them.Oh!and dont forget the outlets!!

Right ON!

Got to hang out with one of my favorite designer!Miyashita!The sweetest man!! He IS the man of Number (N)...Him and his team were here in CA (and all around) for inspiration for their next collection! We all had drinks at the standard laughing and talking. And we went to Cha x3 on Santa Monica. It was soo much fun! They are such great people!We were all aroud the table looking at this months Harpers Bazar (i think it was..) because he had heard that Karl Lagerfeld talked about N.N! They said the knew he would come and buy their jackets but he never said anything...And now its all in writting! Its an amazing line and they just started the Paris collections..its one of those lines that you cant keep your eyes off of! they ROCK!!Number (N) is YUMMY YUMMY IN MY TUMMY<3<3

Fishy Friedia!!

AHAHAHAHA!!! When I first saw this I could not stop laughing! My friend J.B said he saw a dream of me being a fish! And when he was going thru all the pictures he saw it and re-touched my face to look like me in his dream! Look how creepy!!!AGHHHH!
I just had to post it! Thanks J.B!!!Your pictures are always cool!

Heading out to see a Dog Fashion Show!

A black tie event was one of the fun things that happened the first night in NY. Everyone was wearing their best clothes and shoes for their love of their pets.Auctions were going on for raisng money for pounds and dog shelters.All for a very great cause! And the fashion show was really interesting! The new next thing with pets is for the owner and their pups to be wearing the same things! There was also a contest going on with new young student designers.And the boy who won (his clothes were the cutest and most out there!) said his inspiration was underground Harajuku kids!!Go Japan!!!
I didnt get to take any pix at the show, and here is one before I left in my hotel room!Notice the REDest bed I have ever seen in the back!!

Its a great gym!Its really nice and clean and its easy for girls to go work out in as well. Its not one of those manly man gyms. he also owns another gym in Tampa Florida. Which I went to a few months ago. And it was beautiful!
