Steve Aoki Take 2



Head over to the above link (click on the title of this post) to check out more photos from Steve Aoki at Popscene. Btw, I bought from iTunes "Pillowface" (his new album) a few of days ago and it's in full time duty on my ipod. Awesome energy and girl power...totally! Too bad he is not coming back to the Bay Area anytime soon...has anyone checked out his tour schedule? It's fuken crazyyy.

There Will Be Blood is GOD

There Will Be Blood is the first film that I've watched with Daniel Day-Lewis and I will judge from this single performance that he could possibly be the greatest actor in the world. He was TOO good, flawless, real, alive, vivid, direct, believeable, consistent. Now, I've heard from several people that he is a method actor and it's apparent from how well he acted that he is. I mean, how can you pull off that performance at the flick of a switch? Every single move that he did was natural. If I was an actor I would engage in method acting myself. There is no way I could just jump from being myself to being Daniel Plainview in a second, I would have to fully emerge myself in the character in order to do quality work.

And I can't believe the transformation...

And then there is Paul Thomas Anderson. So let me get this straight...he wrote, produced and directed this film?!!! Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!????!!! I love smart people. I absolutely adored the way he shot the film. The camera movements were so cool! I specially adored when he panned the camera swiftly from one character to the next in a single scene. I have appreciated this man ever since watching two of my favorite films which he directed, Magnolia and Boogie Nights. He put two of my favorite actors, Julianne Moore and Philip Seymour Hoffman in both films and I have to love him for that...

Running brain

Blah, I have a million things to do but sadly lacking motivation. I know its going to bite me in the ass, but all I can think about is another million things such as: reading my magazines, going to Haight to buy a dress, visiting museums, starting another internship, finding a new job? (I've been thinking about that since I got my jobs), music and music theory, d-jaying, song combinations, eating bread, cleaning, new ways to do my makeup, running, how sick-and-tired I am of the damn rain and cold, summer, rays of light, Jim Morrison, poetry, being warm, organizing, my aching back, having fun, going out, staying in, saving up, parents, being lazy, watching a film, and it does not end there really... Many of my friends and people at work have told me that lately I've been extra quiet. Maybe I should vocalize the above.

And as always, I'm thinking about how perfectly diverse and cool this city is...






Yes, I am crying right about now....someone buy me a plane ticket so I can go back. I don't think I can survive waiting until October.

Happy 50th Birthday Papi!












Another party was popping at mi casa last night. I set the mood to this pimpin' surprise bithday bash by playing d-jay. I played soul, funk, and disco grooves (my dad's favorite tunes) along with some Thelonious Munk as the guests had dinner. Everything was quite lovely, good friends, music, and food...and a sweet powerpoint presentation made by my cousin with memories for my dad. Tear breaker I tell you!!!

Time with the wifey.

The night was spent at a groovey hip hop show. We enjoyed our time there as you can see powdering our noses in the restroom and hidding from men who need to read the Style Diaries...



This photo does not do my wifey's outfit justice, but I styled her to look like the diva she is. She is wearing a vintage blue cowboy shirt, a leapoard printed tank with red lace, leg and bootayyyy hugging jeans, black heels, a mane of curly sweet smelling hair, and the coolest heart shapped silver earrings bought at Canal Street on our recent venture to NYC...


My electric self is wearing a black slip dress worn over a white slip skirt, a black 3/4 sleeved top, a faux winter white fur vest, a knitted hat, black tights, bark brown tall boots, a glitter purse made to look like a disco ball, and my collection of silver, gold, and black bracelets to make my outfit look a little gipsy...

Oh yes it's ladies night, oh what oh what a night!

Saturday night the ladies and I went out to hunt for meat. The locale was packed like crayolas, the d-jay was no better than the bullshit commercial radio (songs played: "Umbrella" and Soulja Boy"), and it took twenty minutes to get a fuken redbull. Alas, I was with my ladies so it was allll gooodddddd, heyyyyyyyyyy!



We look hot...






Secret loversssssss........



For some reason people pet you when you wear a fur (faux btw) vest....not sure if that's a good thing though. I mean, they gotta buy me dinner first right?

He spun RATM!!!













Jo and I danced our butts off to Steve Aoki. Most fun I've had at Popscene. Aaron Axelson was left in the shadows. Last night he was definetly not the kid's favorite. There was jumping and crowd surfing from Aoki's end and a thousand camera flashes capturing every second of it. I think it's safe to say that SF <3's him...

Bonjour mes amies! As I type this I am listening to my current obsession: Girl Talk. My sister hooked it up with his cd, "Night Ripper" from the radio station and it puts me in such an upbeat mood I can't deny listening to it. This guy mixes hella cool music from Jay-Z to Neptunes to Pixies. Haha he even put a little bit from "California" by that band that Jason Swartz used to be in...damn I can't think of the band's name...I am totally inspired to be a d-jay. And like Julia Guglia said, "Well you just inspired me to hire a d-jay so thank you."

Another current obession is Roasted Brown Rice Tea. It tastes like a grain definetly and its very smooth. I've been drinking at least three cups per day because it's that damn good. The particular tea brand that I have is "Shira Kiku."

I am also in deep love with the cutest cat ever: Booboo. She is a cute chubby gray kitty with perfectly round green eyes. As you can see from the photo she loves me too..


Check out this cute ass bag I found at the thrift store for $5 freakin dollars! I don't think it's ever been used because the interior is immaculate. The size is perfect because I like to carry my life in my bag.


Honestly, these are the essentials. And yes...I carry a few tea bags so I can drink tea even if I am not at home.
