Nubby and Gala are matchy-matchy at our fave diner, Swingers

Oh, you two! Why don’t you just get married already??

We also revisited our favorite store, Hidden Treasures. Didn’t take too many pictures this time around, but this shop is crazy AWESOME! Check out the pics we took during our summer 2010 visit.

Nyxie the shop dog. Someone’s happy!!

We bought this creepy doll for Lauren.

Dorkfest in Gala and Nubby’s hotel room

We dared Gala to send fan mail to Tila Tequila, and she did it. You see, Gala and I are closet Tila fans. Years ago, we agreed to meet online the day that Tila’s blog was scheduled to launch. We sat for hours, reloading the page over and over. It ended up not even launching until a week later, and when it did, it was a massive ball of suckage that caused my computer to explode. Anyway, I told Gala she should email Tila with an interview request so we’d have an excuse to meet her. Gala typed up the most beautiful, sincere, heartfelt letter about female empowerment and wanting to show the world the positive side of Tila Tequila that the media never shows. We never heard back! Meanwhile Tila was on Twitter responding to endless “Show me your tits!” tweets. Our hopes and dreams are crushed.

Dinner at Gjelina with Mary Bee! I should note that Nubby has a master memory. Being that these pics are 8 months old, I texted Gala for help with names/captions. Try as we might, neither of us could remember a damn thing. So I texted Nubby, and she responded within seconds, “Restaurant was Gjelina, dog was Nyxie.” Who remembers the name/spelling of a restaurant called Gjelina after eating there just once, 8 months ago? NUBBY, that’s who! I would have been like “Umm the restaurant was called Angelina Jolie, and the dog’s name was Nicholas.”

Soooooo good!

While we were in town, Kevin and I shot Lauren WK for some new Sugarpill stuff. I can’t post any pics of Lauren because it’ll ruin the surprise. But here’s a picture Lauren took of Tori (makeup artist), Izzy, me, and Kevin (photographer) watching her like a bunch of creeps! Like my crazy cat lady shirt? Thanks, Jessica got it for me. And that Hello Kitty cup in my hand is full of Four Loko, the most disgusting shit ever. I’d never heard of Four Loko until I saw a can in Lauren’s fridge and asked what it was. I was informed it was an illegal beverage that had been banned from the U.S. after killing a bunch of college students. Needless to say, I had to try it for myself! It’s about as delicious as a cough syrup / toilet bowl cleaner cocktail.

Texting my last goodbyes as I await death by Four Loko.

This is Soupie, a sweet little possum who hangs out in Lauren’s yard. While attempting to feed Soupie a small piece of tofu, Izzy got excited and accidentally flung an entire spoonful of soup at him. Hence the orange soup stain on his head followed by the awesomely creative name. We felt terrible. But then Soupie, always the good sport, came back for more!

And I found this awesome pamphlet on the street near a Korean church. That is all.

XOXO
