"this isn't how i pictured things to be when i was dreaming late into the night. you wake up & your whole world is turned around"

as the sun goes down & the moon rises high, that is when the chaos begins. true feelings spill on the dance floor, eyes lit up with the florescent lights. all the secrets turn into truth. the truth turns into a lie. its all a broken record. when you think you find a bit of beauty in this town there is always a bit of ugliness hidden in its core. i put my all into everything in my life. my work, my friends, my family. people love to take.. take.. take.. they want to take until you are left with nothing.. use you all up for their satisfaction. spill your feelings onto a platter, no one will know the difference.. you need to guard your heart with armor in this town. chose your words wisely. 

one of my favorite brands at the moment is wild fox. the whole line has a vintage vibe to it & is extremely comfortable. i love all their promo photo shoots they have on their site. it is simple with a rock n roll twist. totally into it. yesterday ivey & i had a meeting with a producer/writer we are working with. the overall meeting went well. next week we hit the studio and finish up some of the pieces we have been working on. tonight is going to be filled with dim lights, surprise parties, hollywood canyons and sparkling eyes. i can never get enough glitter.. i love wearing a sheer glitter under my eyes at night.. its so hard for me to watch the news.. i always try to watch it, i want to know whats going on in the world.. everything is just so evil and negative.. it really freaks me out. the world is such a mess right now.. but yet people are more consumed with the petty drama in their lives..

big glasses, red lips. im into it. 

colored lips are good for fall.. i love a good red or a really vamp dark color.. 

what is your favorite lipstick?

it's weird to think about all the people i have met during my life. so many people have effected my life in one way or another.. in some ways good.. in other ways bad.. where do they all go? the people i used to be close with & now i don't even know if they live in this city. i guess i am having a case of nostalgia today..  taking a trip down memory lane.. remembering pieces of my past.. different emotions, feelings, adventures.. people i would trust, people i hated, people who made me smile and get through the hard times.. only true friendships stick.. the kind of friendship that even if you dont see each other for a few months, when you do, its exactly the same as it was before. it's rare to find a friend like that. that fact that i even have a few of those truly makes me feel blessed. i know they are here for me. i know they dont judge me. they know the real me. who i was, who i am. 

there are a few people who i have met during my life who made an impression on me. an impression that will last forever.. not something that fades over the years.. a few of these people are still in my life.. others have drifted away & i dont know if i will ever see them again.. today ivey and i have a meeting regarding our writing and what the next few steps are going to be.. tonight we are getting wild.. having a girls night full of dancing and chaos at voyeur.. last night i went to hotel cafe to watch butch walker perform.. he is such a talented musician.. if you haven't heard his music i suggest you check it out.. he really captures you with his lyrics.. tomorrow i have a meeting with this new website that is just starting out and then i am shooting with meghan.. we are going for a smithereens type vibe.. very rough but yet soft.. all the noises echo through my room.. sometimes on the quietest days it still sounds like a circus in here.. sitting under the moon.. late monday night.. looking for shooting stars.. all bundled up.. it was perfection. 

who is the most influential person in your life?

what a wild weekend.. everything about it was go go go! it's nice to have a minute to just sit back & regroup. friday i did a photo shoot for the winter line glamour kills is putting out. i really love it. everything is super comfy & soft, just the way i like it! aha! at night a few friends & i adventured out to calabasas for drinks, mexican & music. it was an interesting night to say the least.. saturday was the big hello kitty fashion show! tons of different designers did pieces for the show & all the photos are going to be used for a big book they are putting out. even though certain people want to say i was a "stand it" or "picked last" i was actually booked around the same time everyone else was.. i got booked to walk for toxic vision, and because one of the models dropped out, jessica louise asked if i would wear her piece as well.. i don't see the point in putting someone down.. are you really that insecure? anyways.. the show went great! i loved all the outfits!! i wanted to keep them all!! aha! we did two shows.. one at 7 and one at 830.. i was happy my friends and my mom came out to support.. 

since i was the only model who had two outfits i seriously had about 20 seconds to change.. it was the worst! i have never changed so fast in my life.. this week is full of meetings.. i am also shooting my new accessory line later this week..i want to plan a trip to the big apple soon.. i am in the mood for some real holiday weather.. i want to feel like its actually winter!!! yesterday i saw the movie this is it. i loved it. i know a few people thought it was boring, but i found the whole thing so interesting.. the dancers were so insane he had booked for his show.. everything about it was fantastic.. AND THE OUTFITS.. all his stage outfits were incredible.. 

what is your favorite dish at thanksgiving?

for me, its the stuffing & mashed potatoes.. with a little cranberry sauce.. yum!!!

happy monday everyone. another week is here, another week is gone.

day by day. night by night.

time seems to be moving a lot faster lately than usual.

here are a few movie suggestions i have for you.. let me know if you have seen them..

if not, i suggest picking them up..

1. smithereens 

2. ladies & gentlemen: the fabulous stains

3. velvet goldmine 

4. ghost world

ivey & i started working on our accessory line, it's going to be great! i can't wait to get it all up online. trying to find truth in a town full of lies. everyone thinks they know you. everyone thinks they know whats best. i've had to go through so much bullshit in this town. i had to put up with it all. i dont get where people get the idea that they know more about your life than you do.. why not focus on your own life? thats when you get somewhere.. thats when you make a difference.. im not asking for a pity party, so dont get the wrong idea.. i just like to say whats on my mind and if you dont like it then dont read it. living in a cluster is going to make your life more of a mess than it needs to be.. cleaning up and being organized keeps room for an open mind.. this week i am shooting with sophia alvardo on thursday and on friday i am shooting for the new glamour kills line. everything is going good.. keeping busy.. working on different projects.. some more successful than others.. its good to focus on one thing.. i have the habit on focusing on a million.. aha! im in the mood to travel.. i miss london.. the gloomy sky and cold streets.. the small town pubs and friendly faces.. the fashion.. the music.. i miss it all.. sometimes i can picture myself living there.. but it would be hard to be that far from my family.. they mean everything to me.. 

could you picture yourself living anywhere else? 

xxoo

lately i have been getting a lot of messages regarding the corsets ivey & i wore for halloween. since people seem interested we decided to custom make some to sell. the price will range from 200$ to 400$ depending on how detailed you want it.. studs, rhinestones, bows.. you name it.. we are down to do it all! if you're interested in purchasing one email us at hannabethvintage@yahoo.com we are also working on custom hair accessories & raccoon tails. 

yesterday ivey & i spent the day shopping for some fall fashion.. long sleeve crop tops, tattered jeans, motor cycle leopard jackets.. a trashey chic look.. it all seems to come together.. our new obsession at the moment is the new alexander wang boots he just put out.. they are amazing.. he is such a great designer.. one of my favorites at the moment.. tomorrow i am shooting with sophia alvarado. we are going for a late seventies look. once i am done shooting i am going to cirque du soleil in santa monica. every show they put on is usually fantastic.. have you ever been? this weekend is going to be full of working on music, winter fashion products & chaos. if there wasn't a little chaos in life, life would be so dull.. excitement & action is what keeps us going.. keeps us alive.. 

today is quiet.. today is peaceful...

thanks giving is only weeks away.. are you traveling or staying in town?

spending it with family, close friends.. loved ones?

i'm going to be at my dads house with my whole family & close friends.. i can't wait.

"we were all feeling a bit shagged and fagged and fashed, it being a night of no small expenditure"

how is it already november? the pumpkins have been carved & the christmas decor is already starting to go up. i feel like it was yesterday i was doing the countdown into 2009.. where did this year go? time really does fly by.. you really have to enjoy every minute of it. friday night.. was when the chaos began. tons of holiday parties & halloween fun. ivey & i dressed up as droogs from clockwork orange, one of my favorite films. the night started with pre drinks in the hills. photo booth under the stars, tons of yummy finger foods, test tube shots and dancing. from there we made our way to wilshire for another halloween party, only this time it was in an office type building & you could hardly move. the music was loud and everyone was dressed to impress. the night went on.. and on.. one party to the next.. making our way around the dull lit town.. ending up on a bean bag chair at 3a.m. watching the riot at the front gate while eating an omelet from the omelet bar justin had set up for the evening. chaos at its finest. on saturday.. the actual halloween day, i started my night by helping my mom with the trick treat kids in brentwood. ended up at a party off lauren with too much black light. left around one to support my roomie allie at the key club. the night was young, but friday took a lot out of me. sunday was recovery at its finest. malibu brunch on the beach.. bloody marys.. you get the idea.. 

not having a car in la la land is the worst. my car is in the shop and i feel so useless without it. this week i have a few shoots lined up, one is with the lovely sophia & another with my friend will. we are going for a ruff late seventies look. i've started working on designs for my winter line, hopefully i will be able to get everything together in time for christmas. in a few weeks i get to film my next part of the dobly promotion i am doing.. instead of filming at a hotel we are going to be at the black crows concert! should be a fun night. right now ivey is wrapped up like a burrito on my pull out mattress from urban. i am snuggled up on my chair with cinderella by my feet. my apartment smells like burned jiffy pop & it wont go away.. i shouldn't be allowed to have a stove.. i always do something wrong.. even if its something so simple.. 

what is one of your biggest fears in life & what steps, if any, have you taken to overcome it?

xxoo 

halloween is here. 2 more days till the chaos begins.. well.. actually.. not really.. haha! tomorrow ivey & i already have 3 costume parties to attend to. we made our outfits, & i must say i am pretty happy with the outcome. we have a few finishing touches to do, but overall it's basically done. yesterday we decided to get in the holiday spirit by watching scary movies all day & then driving down to the haunted hay ride in calabasas at night. i usually dont get scared, but this ride was pretty freaky! people popping out left and right.. banging on the sides of the cart.. clown raves.. getting right up in your face.. pretty dramatic.. one guy dressed as hannibal asked if i was single & for my number.. umm.. im guessing thats not part of the ride? haha! 

sorry i haven't been updating as much as i usually do. work has been in full gear for the past few weeks. if i'm not writing in the studio, i am working on my clothing line or shooting. i am working on some new designs and accessories for winter.. hopefully i will be able to get it out before christmas time. i have a few clothing brand shoots coming up in the next few weeks, one of the brands is this awesome one from canada that makes all one of a kind leather jackets, corsets, pants, etc. etc. it's so much more fun working for a company when you actually like the product.. i am over advertising for things i don't like.. whats the point? im not going to say i love the line when i dont. i have to be real. in the end it might not be the best decision, but at least i know im being true to myself. no more bullshit. ive grown up & i dont have time for it. companies love to take advantage, especially when you're young. you have to be careful. my new roommate allie moves in today! i can't wait. angelica still lives in the building, but she got a 2 bedroom with her twin sister, so we still get to hang out. i love living in a building with tons of cool people. everyone is nice here, its perfect. last thursday was the hello kitty 35th anniversary event. the overall event was fantastic! royal t did an amazing job turning their space into a hello kitty wonderland.. ivey & i only stayed for about 20 minutes.. i dont do too well in crowds.. i ended up going back a few days later so i could really check out the exhibit. so many good art pieces, i really want to get a painting for my apartment. in a few weeks they are doing a fashion show with tons of designs inspired by hello kitty.. definitely wont be missing that!! 

i am almost sold out of everything from the last journal.. i do have a few pieces left though.. i am trying to clear it all, so i am taking offers.. even if its 10$, i just need the space!!! haha!! lately, i have been on a music documentary kick. been watching movies about the stones, dylan, joy division.. etc etc.. i find them so interesting.. just makes me want to live in that era more & more.. music just isn't good anymore.. it will never be how it was back then.. back then music had life.. had meaning.. now? it's all garbage in my opinion. 

do you like documentaries? what is your favorite one?

fall has begun. it's time to put away your bikini & trade it out for your winter coat. fall/winter fashion is my favorite, i love the look of layers. at the moment i am watching bewitched, drinking some hot peppermint tea, and going over all my orders. tonight i am meeting with my dad at dantanas for our father daughter dinner. it's been awhile since we have done one, so it will be nice to catch up. after dinner i am going to support my friend at the key club. he is performing with his band "petty cash". they do all tom petty cover songs, what is better than that? haha. tom petty has always been one of my favorite musicians. every album he ever put out was truly genius. tomorrow i am back to the studio.. i can't wait to get some tracks finished.. its a lot of work, but i am always up for a new challenge. wednesday i am going to support my friends in three 6 mafia. i haven't seen them live yet, but im sure it will be killer!! thursday royal t is doing the 35th hello kitty anniversary opening. they are going to have a hello kitty pop up store open for about 3 months. at the opening they will have hello kitty bento boxes, themed drinks, art work etc. etc. i can't wait to go! it's going to be so cool to see how it all turns out. 

there is something about old t.v. shows that i prefer so much more over new ones.. you can't beat the classics.. bewitched, i dream of jeannie, the munsters, i love lucy.. it's all so good!!! i need to get all the box sets.. i think a visit to amazon.com might be in my future! ha ha! saturday night diana and i went to a masquerade theme ball at my friend paris' house. the party was a surprise party for her boy doug. everything about the party was great!! the food, music, drinks.. it all came together perfectly. everyone being in masks made me feel like i was in the movie eyes wide shut.. sometimes change of location can be inspiring.. once my new roomie, rich royal, moves in we are going to redecorate the apartment & make it feel more like home. my bedroom is where i want it to be, but the living room & kitchen needs some work. 

what is your favorite season for fashion? 

what are you going to be/do for halloween?

i still don't know what to be!!!! ahhhh!!!!

"and so i cry sometimes, when im lying in bed, just to get it all out, what's in my head."

this is an old article from a japanese magazine.. it covered coachella 2009.. there is a photo of aoki & i on the left side.. such a fun time.. i can't wait to go again next year.. waking up to open doors, fresh air & cold rain is so peaceful for some reason. to me, it's content. i love the rain & when it's gloomy.. it puts me in a good mood.. there is endless possibilities.. it will probably only last a few days, but i'm going to take it for all its worth. some things never change.. as much as you want to think they will, sometimes they dont. everyone in the world has a plan, a certain path to live our life by. if everything is happening for a reason, do we have any self control? do we control our fate or is it already planned out for us? are people ever truly content or do they just lie to themselves to make everything seem alright. is everything alright? is this the reality i truly want for myself? it's a lot to think about. you have to live life in the moment.. one day at a time.. focus on the now rather than tomorrow.. 

this week i have mostly been focusing on getting healthy again & finishing all the errands i had been putting off. i seem to keep running myself down, i need to take better care of myself.. i am starting to feel better.. i just have a cough now that doesn't seem to want to go away.. i finally saw inglorious bastards!! such a good film!! i would see it again.. it's one of the best movies i have seen in the theaters in a long time. tomorrow & friday i will be in the studio writing. can't wait for it all to be done. i have a few more pieces from my pop up store to sell & then i will be done. saturday i am going to a masquerade party.. i have always wanted to go to one.. i need to find the perfect mask! haha. it's so weird to see my brothers growing up.. they are growing up so fast.. marlon is already taller than me.. i remember when he was just a little boy.. running around & playing legos.. its crazy how fast life goes by.. thats why you need to take it for all its worth.. really do things you love and that make you smile.. there is no time to waste.. 

what is your favorite thing to do on a rainy day?

do you know any secret tricks to get rid of a cough? i need help!!! haha

xxoo

it's crazy how in less than 24 hours something can change to the complete opposite. weather its a story you heard, a relationship with a friend or crush, a feeling, an emotion.. anything.. life is really unpredictable.. you never know whats going to happen.. emotions always change. just because you feel one way today doesn't mean it will be that way tomorrow. its tuff but thats life. struggles & pain is what make you alive.. those hard emotions we all go through is that makes us strong.. makes us who we are.. makes as able to take on anything.. if life was always easy, you would be bored. you need the ups and downs.. as unglamorous as that sounds.. people medicate to be numb to feelings & to their surrounding.. if you keep hiding how you feel it will all just build up & you will crash.. you need to expresses whats on your mind.. if you're feeling down, dont hide it with pills & booze.. express yourself.. life is too short to be a train wreck.. you have too much to conquer. 

my mom & i on the cover of "our family" magazine. early nineties. haha. last night was wild. from photo booths to waking up in bath tubs.. the night didnt let me down.. started at the opening of voyeur.. such a chic new place.. very dark & sexy.. girls dancing in lingerie.. it reminded me of the club chuck has in gossip girl.. only more wild.. haha! after voyeur i finished the night with drinks at chateau & late night food at the london. the view on the roof of the london is so amazing.. i wish i had a view like that from my bedroom.. i love to watch the world go by.. i'm almost done selling the left overs from the pop up store.. i have a few more dresses to post.. this week i'm going to be in the studio .. i hope i feel better.. after last nights shenanigans i have a bit of a cold.. and my right knee is purple.. i need to not be so clumsy.. heels are never a good idea for me.. but i do love them.. i cant believe halloween is only a few weeks away.. i still have no idea what to be.. i want it to be original.. i might make my costume.. 

my little princess. 

do you prefer showers or baths? i'm a big bath person. find it so relaxing.

what are you going to be for halloween? do you have any ideas for me?

xxoo

ever since i was young i have been a sensitive girl. i let things get to me, which in reality, mean NOTHING. what you have to teach yourself is that when people are talking about you, it's because they aren't satisfied with their own life.. if they were happy, then why would they take time to trash you? why would they need to put you down? it's sad that people feel the need to be negative and lie just for their own satisfaction.. apparently i was raised differently.. i have never been one to trash someone.. if i have a problem with you i will tell you.. but at the end of the day its your life & your choice on how to live it.. so why should i comment on it? the way i live my life, what i do for fun, for work, it's all personal.. its my choice & i dont see the need to bash on it. if you have a problem with who i am then why keep looking? sometimes when i hear negative things my first instinct is to lash back.. but in the end.. that gets you no where.. you need to be the stronger person and move forward.. its just people trying to hold you back.. jealousy.. you find a lot of that in this town.. as long as you have strong people around you who believe in you & who you are nothing else matters.. trust me.. i've been through tons of shit and i know first hand the negativity will never get you anywhere.. no one wants to throw you a pity party.. it's boring.. next.. 

today i did the test shoot for dolby at the roosevelt hotel. we are shooting at the penthouse suite, it is so beautiful, i want to stay there! haha. when you stand on the roof you can see all of los angeles. tomorrow we start filming at 11a.m. makeup at 10. all the products are really cool they are putting out.. i have never been that into electronics but i do find it interesting.. tonight i am having a girls night with molly & jenna.. gonna watch some gossip girl and make stop by for a drink at teddys. back in the studio tomorrow night at 830.. cant wait to get everything done.. make my words come alive.. i want to inspire.. i want to help.. i want people to relate.. 

are you big on electronics or do you prefer it old school?

home sweet home from the wonderful town of sin. on friday a few friends & i decided to take a last minute trip to las vegas for the weekend. we got to fly up in this amazing jet with giant playing cards painted on the side. once we were all checked in we all had a yummy dinner at stacks.. i stayed at the mirage hotel where they were having their 20th anniversary. to celebrate the through a huge concert.. slash performed as well as courtney love & nicole from the pussy cat dolls. seeing slash live was definitely a dream come true.. he is known for being one of the best rock n roll guitarists of our time.. after the show i finished the night by partying it up at club jet. clubs in vegas are so different than ones in los angeles.. a lot more outrageous.. saturday i spent the day lounging in the sun at the bare pool at mirage. bare is the adult topless pool at mirage.. i didn't go topless, but it was still fun.. tons of great music.. i felt like i was at a party rather than lounging by the pool.. i got the gamble for my first time as well!!! i played black jack.. won about 60$.. haha! i can see how games like that can be addicting.. arrived back to reality this afternoon.. landed around 4.. since then i've been lounging around.. catching up on some errands.. 

this week is going to be busy. tomorrow i am meeting with my trainer & then rehearsing this video i am doing at roosevelt for dolby sound. tuesday i am in the studio & filming the dolby sound production video at roosevelt. i'm not sure what to expect, but it's going to be an interesting experience. thursday i am doing a fashion shoot & starting to plan los angeles fashion week.. besides walking in a few of the shows i might be doing a pop up store similar to the one i just did at royal t. i love getting to share my fashion & vintage finds with everyone.. it's fun for me..

what is your favorite part of halloween? the candy, the pumpkin carving, dressing up?

daydreaming, love bites & endless hours.

she's lost control again. 

does true love exist anymore? love seems so plastic in this sleepless town.. my mind has been wondering. sleepless nights are becoming an everyday routine. i have become the definition of a night owl. i prefer night time.. the moon is out.. i am not being blinded by the sun.. i am thinking about a million things.. it is even hard to just focus right now and type.. i constantly want to be working, creating.. i cant be satisfied just sitting here with the television on. i need to be inspired. i need to meet people who inspire me & who strive for similar things in life. i need people with edge, risk.. people who know how to live.. how to love.. a true friend. a true love. why is that so rare? when you find it, you hold on tight. things slip away so easily.. the nights are anxious, especially at the late hours. i tried to fall asleep around midnight.. but my mind got to thinking.. it took over and now her i am. on my couch, listening to the smiths & updating my blog. this week is going to be non stop.. go go go they say.. keep on track. mind of matter. tomorrow i am in the studio. i love mark, he is a true musical inspiration. tuesday i am doing some fashion event for buzznet with that girl kristin from the hills.. i've never seen the show.. so... yeah... haha.. wednesday i am shooting the music video for annie automatic, thursday is a fashion shoot & i am to take my car in for a check up. and the beat goes on.. and on.. and on..

today molly, rich royal & i decided to take it easy and have a pool side afternoon. greg had people over for drinks, swim time and bbq.. it was the perfect sunday.. last night i somehow ended up dancing at dianas, my neighbors, until about 5 a.m. we had people over and the night was alive. during the day i ran some errands & met up with my mom for a bite at cafe primo.. we made a quick stop into madison where i got some white doc martins.. i love them.. punk 77.. after madison i stopped by dita to pick up some new shades jeff had for me. i got an amazing pair of white reading glasses and some black sunnies.. john & jeff are the best.. they are the partners who own dita.. classic. 

love bettie page... such killer style..

if you could change something going on in your life right now what would it be & why? 

hope everyone had a wonderful weekend 

xoxo

my new obsession of the week? the new black lipstick mac makeup put out. so chic. 

the whole new style black collection from mac is amazing.. goth meets chic.. very rock n roll.. i love it.. do you? my pop up store is finally closed.. i had so much fun putting it together, & thanks again to everyone who came out. it was such a great experience. i love fashion, i have ever since i was a little girl. to be able to do a store with all the things i love was a dream come true.. i'm glad i got to share it with everyone.. since i do have a few items left over i decided i will sell them online & ship world wide.. the items will be up next week for sale. 

not really sure what's going on with my hair in those photos.. i was sorta a mess so i just thought to through it up in a hat.. haha. next week i am shooting with my friend french for his band Annie Automatics new music video. i'm playing the lead role. the video is going to be shoot very raw & edgy. can't wait to see how it turns out. tomorrow i am meeting with the stylist for a fitting for the video.. have to make sure the look is just right. monday i am back in the studio.. have been doing tons of writing. trying to stay a busy girl. tonight is the teen vogue party.. might stop by for a bit & then hit up roosevelt for teddys. vogue has always been one of my favorite fashion magazines, ever since i was little. molly is finally back from the hospital, i really missed her, so nice to have her back. you don't realize how valuable your life is until you deal with something like what she is going through. you really can't take life from granted.. instead of worrying about everyone else, worry about yourself & what makes you happy. i am so sick of everyone being negative.. they don't know how good they have it.. no one wants to give you a pity party my dear.. its time we grow up. how can you hate someone you have never met? have such awful perceptions of someone you haven't even taken time to know? you can't always judge a book by its cover.. i say get to know someone.. get to really know them before you make remarks on them. it might seem harmless to you, but you should put yourself in their shoes.. think about how they feel and what they might be going through.. we all need to stick together.. stop the hate & start to love.. in the end.. thats all that matters.. 

one of my favorite vogue covers..

what is your favorite fashion magazine?

kate moss... gotta love her.. a true style icon.. 

xxoo

"i bet that you look good on the dance floor"

last night i got to see the band arctic monkeys preform at the palladium in hollywood with my friend douglas. it had been awhile since i had been to a show i truly enjoyed. after the show i went to tropicana bar at roosevelt. thom yorke from radio head was dj-ing and it was a killer set. i have always loved radio, so it was pretty epic getting to see thom DJ. this morning i had an audition and then went grocery shopping for the apartment. tonight i am thinking about taking it easy.. dinner & a movie? we'll see.. yesterday i had a meeting at mtv around 4 & then met with my lawyer to go over my new contract. tomorrow is my first session with my new personal trainer. i am excited about it.. working out is never a bad thing.. good for the soul in my opinion. 

new loves & lost at sea. sometimes it doesn't even feel like me. 

where would you want to go on a getaway? so escape from the normal?

the store was a hit. it took a lot of time & effort to get it all together, but once we were done it was worth it. spent all of friday setting up & then rushed home to get ready for the party. i wore high waisted black shorts with a white crop top & denim studded vest. the party went from 7 to 11. it was so great meeting everyone who came out for the opening & to see a lot of my good friends. the dj's were killer and had the whole place dancing.. i even got to make my own menu for the event! spicy tuna tar tar, veggie burgers, pink champagne, grilled artichoke.. it was all divine. the store is going to be up for about two week, so if you weren't able to stop in at the opening, feel free to come check it out sometime in the next two weeks.

 today i got to meet with my new chiropractor & personal trainers. we went over my new routine & different goals for my work out. i love it there. i have had scoliosis for most of my life, i even had to wear a back brace for a year.. my trainer is going to help me strengthen the muscles around my spine and to make sure i'm alined. it's about time.. haha. tomorrow i have a meeting at mtv at 4 and i am stopping by my store for a bit. finishing the contracts with my new management company.. sent to the lawyer to finalize it all.. golden. anyways.. saturday night was the kenny sharf opening. i loved all his new pieces, especially the ones with the donuts.. very talented.. after the opening molly & i went to the after party dinner at ebaldi in beverly hills. ended our night under the stars up in the canyons, listening to the ultimate playlist while sipping martinis next to a color changing pool. 

what did you think of the mtv music awards? i always find award shows a little boring but i thought lady gaga's performance was absolutely fantastic. she is such a brilliant artist & definitely knows how to take it to the next level. the whole kanye west incident was a bit much.. but i feel that people are making a bigger deal out of it than it actually was. i do feel bad for taylor though, i would be pretty bummed if someone interrupted my acceptance speech just to mention one of the other nominees. i loved how through out the show lady gaga had about 4 different wardrobe changes.. if i was her i would do the same.. each outfit was amazing in it's own way.. she took it there to say the least.. 

if you could open your own store for two weeks, what kind of store would it be?

also, what was your favorite performance of the music awards?

less than 24 hours till my opening.. the nerves are starting to hit.. i just want it to be perfection. waking up at 10a.m. to go set up. meeting all the other artists & designers to get everything together & placed. i never thought i'd get to have my own store.. but here it is.. and tomorrow it's reality.. dreams do happen.. you just have to fight for it. keep working for what you want.. not what others want.. i finally got antibiotics today.. i haven't been feeling well for the past two weeks.. i thought if i waited it out i would start to feel better... guess not.. my brother thomas leroy was born today.. 6 pounds.. i can't believe i have 3 younger brothers now.. i feel blessed.. saturday is the jeff koons art exhibit opening & dinner. can't wait to see all his new pieces.. a very talented man..

this los angeles heat just seems to be getting worse & worse.. i am ready for a cold rainy day. 

i'm in need of a good new book to read..

any suggestions? what was the last book you read?
