Merry Christmas, everybody! for those that celebrate (or for those that don't!). hope all of you has had a fun, adventurous, blessed, exciting, lazy, food-and-gift-filled Holiday so far! this year is especially exciting for me, since it's just the first (or second?) time my family has seen me for the holidays since i moved out! we actually did our thing yesterday, (since none of us can wait!), but still had plenty of leftovers and gifts to play with this morning, too!

my brother and i decided to go last-minute shopping in downtown SF yesterday, and to our surprise, everything was relatively mellow. (you mean no elbow-in-the-teeth shopping trips this year?!)

This sunday on the 19th, San Francisco is holding the 2008 Tour De Cupcake race! It's the race to see who's fastest, or maybe just the hungriest. Ride bikes, eat cupcakes, who couldn't ask for a better way to spend an afternoon?! All bike riders are invited to attend the race at only $10 a person, (including seasoned bikers and seasoned cupcakes eaters =D ). it's times like these i wish i still had my bike! =/ 

This morning, to my surprise, i woke to a voicemail from a gentlemen with an adorable French accent. and to my surprise, it was Marco from the NARS counter at Barney's! (if you haven't met him, he's just about the cutest thing ever, and apparently one of the first makeup artists Francois himself ever hired.) it just to happens that this month is the one-year anniversary of the grand opening of the Barney's New York here in San Francisco! in celebration, they're having great deals, (a free goodie grab-bag chalk-full of deluxe samples and must-haves when you spend $175!), new products, and NARS is having their ritualistic Masters makeup class (which is totally free and really fun!). a gathered team of National experts teach you about the amazing cosmetic line, and then show you tips and techniques on how to apply a certain focal look. not only do you get the chance to leave looking pretty enough to party, you get a chance at free stuff. who would say no?!

Barney

I'm almost positive that this is a once-happening opportunity, as since this is an anniversary. So if you're in San Francisco this month on the 17, 18, and 19th make SURE to save a reservation! it's by appointment only, and the NARS counter is only so big! it typically seats about 10-12 people for each class.

Nars

To book an appointment, you can contact the NARS department yourself at:

Happy glamming!

Show us the view from your bedroom window.

my San Francisco apartment

my pretty courtyard. =]
...that neighbors let their dogs crap on and leave for everyone to step on.

So, our apartment building is pretty old. (*cough* 1947 *cough*) especially considering that my MOM was born and raised in this community, we're talking old. and i'm convinced the owners have decided to put off remodeling and upgrading until last year, 60 years later. for hours on end, the water will be shut off with hardly any notice. not to mention when the water actually DOES get turned back on, it's a lovely shade of pure "shit brown". for no reason at all, the newly "upgraded" fire alarm, (in this case, "upgraded" means louder than what's healthy for your eardrums to still be fully functioning.) will randomly go off at 5am, anywhere from 15-45 minutes straight. with no explanation. there will be painters on scaffoldings directly outside your bedroom window, bitching at each other about "who's more of a wussy", like 5 year old boys. and i cant tell you how fantastic it is to hear jackhammering and drill-sawing at 8am, every single weekday. it's getting pretty awesome.

You're one crazy bitch. my roommate natasha and i were traipsing around the city, and found us some goodies on Church street. sweet!

Condoms, awesome.

Recently, i went though this crazed room-cleaning frenzy, and ended up getting rid of four ginormous shopping bags full of old clothes. (damn.) i let my roommates pilfer through it, thinking it was doing me a favor getting rid of all my old shit that i didn't use anymore. well, a friend let me in on a genius money-making scheme, which is selling all your used clothes to all those little consignment shops on Haight.

WHAT?!

after they took all the cute paisley hippie skirts and Abercrombie jeans, it makes me wonder if Wasteland would be the place to sell my tore-up, oversized fleece reindeer sweatshirts from 1992. (son of a bitch.)
oh well, i suppose getting only $5 for this shit is better than a boyfriend coming over and thinking i still wear striped Unionbay shirts, or underwear that say "Angel" on the ass. please.
