Tomorrow nite.


Kid Sister. I saw her last October at the Hiro Ballroom in NYC. She is so much fun and spunky onstage. LUV her and her nails.

New Year's Eve. The Mars Volta. They are God. Seriously...


Costumes are required at their show. I am freaking out because I have NOTHING planned out. I'm seriously brain dead at the moment. I need ideas!!!!!

Check out the cool jacket my sister got me for Christmas.



I love the color because it is so easy to match and even though you can't see the detail of the fabric, there is a bit of sparkle on it. I wore it right away with my favorite pair of jeans that are totally 70's. They ares o freaking long and wide at the bottom I have to wear platforms. The shirt is Ralph Lauren via the thrift store. I probably paid $5 for it...

These past few days have been busy with birthdays-xmas parties-work-seeing friends-spending time with them-and music. I love it when I am enlightened by the beautiful spirit of music. Yesterday was a special day because I was introduced to the grand world of Queen. To be completly honest, prior to being submerged into their world I was a bit turned off by their songs that I had heard: "We Will Rock You" and "We are the Champions" (I'm assuming those are the titles). The songs are cool because they are epic and have an anthem quality, but they are over played, which means that they are overly annoying to me.

But alas, the prejudice was dissolved yesterday as I watched a documentary on how they make music and I wanted to die from happiness. They are so creative in every-single aspect. They are so detailed oriented I was so thrilled to learn about how much time and passion they put into making their craft. What is even better is that they dress so well and perform with such artistic quality that they become perfect humans.



...and I wanted to throw up from glee when I saw him performing in this little number:


And if this wasn't enough joy, I also watched a documentary about Fela Kuti. I have been an admirer of Fela ever since I learned that the Mars Volta listen to him right before they go onstage to get pumped up. I totally see Fela Kuti in the Mars Volta. His spirit is in their music. Fela is hailed as the best African musician ever. He is also considered a prophet and a revolutionary. Fela was the leader of his tribe and an enemy to the colonial power of Nigeria. He is impressive. His music gives you happiness and hope. His live performances are truly unique because he has a posse of beautiful women (who happen to be his wives) put on a spectacular dance performance. The whole experience is chill...

Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas! I love you all. May this holiday and the upcoming 2008 be of happiness, love, and health. I have tons of photos to post, but in the meantime enjoy this photo I came across of Artiste Extraordinarie. Vincent Gallo:


I am so pissed I did not get a chance to see him this past weekend when he played in the city. I love him...

This weekend was spent hanging out with some of the coolest people I know. On Thursday my homs and I went Xmas shopping on Haight Street. I LOVE all the shit I got for my family. I did a little shopping for myself and scored a copper motorcycle jacket, a red short coat with large buttons on the front with little anchors on them, a short vintage dress from the 60's, peep-toed patent leather sling back wedges and two pairs of thights. I was not suppossed to shop for myself, but the prices were damn tempting...After a day of shopping and dining at the Thai restaurant on Haight we ventured to the Castro for Pan Dulce Night at the Cafe. I love me some gay men. The music was off the hizzy. Dj Carlos played cumbias and spanish pop and might I add there was some pretty interesting male entertainment...Homs and I danced for literally two hours straight. We are definetly going back next Thursday.








On Friday night I met up with Jeremiah. Even though we are not together, we remain close friends and always will. We talked fashion, which was a TOTAL treat because I don't get to talk to anyone about it that aften. He was wearing the coolest outfit.


I must say that we totally inspire each other's style. I would totally rock that outfit if I was a man. I was so exited about my copper motorcycle jacket that I decided to wear right as soon as possible. Ps- that is not my bag. I kinda wish it was though...


On Saturday Dj D-Dre aka Yellowstar aka my sister Andrea had her 22nd birthday party at The Cellar in San Jose. My night was spent dancing, taking photos, sipping on Blue Moon (my new favorite beer), watching people get ass drunk (Hi Talor and Drea) and having awesome conversations with a new friend about Valentino and Project Runway.
















Soon after this photo was taken Drea was vomiting in the bathroom so we took her drunk ass home...

Talor passed out on my bed.


Andrea regreting the Patron shots.


And because I did not want to listen to Andrea make drunken phone calls, I decided to cook at two in the morning. I would say it was a perfect end to the night.

So as I posted earlier, mi familia took me out to dinner to Pasta? The food was delish and I practically licked the plate clean.


Andrea got a salad, as usual...



This was my beautiful meal from heaven and my beer. I like them dark...



This was totally posed!


I wished for youth.


Que le muerda!


And because I NEVER take photos of my beautiful outfits. Here is an attempt to take a decent photo. Btw, Lil P bought me the dress for my birthday. I have the best brother. He TOTALLY knows my style so well!!




It was a good birthday indeed. I FINALLY got a digi cam (bday/xmas gift from my mother) so I won't have to borrow Drea's. Which means I will be taking more photos like this:





I love trees...
