Why Parents Shouldn't Be On Facebook

A couple months ago I went up to Santa Barbara to do my pal Katherine's makeup for her engagement pictures. It was a very last minute thing that came up and well I didn't want to do the drive from LA to SB solo. I had just gone up to do another wedding and was kinda burnt out & needed company for this trip. So I figured could make a day of it & I took along my friend Su who had the day off & was happy to have a play day!

To cut to the chase, we ended up having a fun day. Filled with seafood and bloody marys by the docks, some walking around State St, silly touristy pit stop in Solvang to grab candy & ice cream, topped off with an awesome pasta bolognese pared with red wine at a great little hole in the wall in SB for dinner.
 i hate licorice but this was for my boyfriend
 such cute little dresses!
you know, touristy shit in solvang

 best bloody marys ever in santa barbara! i could go for one now
Su & her ice cream


Ideally, it was kind of the perfect date! But well with two pals instead. So I jokingly posted on her facebook page:

"Had so much fun on our girl date! Must do it again!"

Here's where lost in translation begins. Her korean dad sees this and comes to the conclusion that:

1- my daughter has turned gay & is all about the scissor sister action now
2- it's been too long since we've visited our daughter, we've not done our proper parenting skills & now she's gay

which now has resulted in a very Engrish text from her dad:

"What's up buddy? Is there very warm? How is doing men?"
this is NOT Su's dad but some random stock photo, 
i expect her dad to look more like an older Sulu from Star Trek
 preferably wearing the Star Trek uniform too




BTW, parents should also not text.

Anyhow, now my pal has her parents assuming she has a gay lifestyle here in wild & crazy LA, and they are planning to drop in & visit her sometime next year to check up on things. Part of me really wanted to mess with her poor dad more. But then that would result in my friend probably suffering from many  more visits.

So seriously, if you can prevent it, DO NOT LET YOUR PARENTS ON FACEBOOK, do not teach them how to text! Give them your old shitty phones, and keep them in a simpler more parent friendly time.

holy rainbow balls, i am a slacker!

actually i just haven't been inspired lately to ramble on, so i figured i'd at least do a quick update & share some of my new favorite things.

C2O Coconut Water


the name is unfortunate as it reminds me of carbon dioxide. 
but it is one of the tastiest coconut waters on the market. 
always smooth & no weird after taste

PhotoStudio App

it's got an endless variety of filters and fx that can be used alone or layered
I converted a pic to b&w here,
then used rainbow palette #2 and sprinkled it with startdust frame
 apparently it makes me look like a
Lisa Frank Sticker





8mm App for my Iphone
i've had this app for awhile but just never played around with it until now


now you can make your own grainy 70s inspired home grown porn 
or shitty grindhouse flick

this is me being awkward & uncomfortable
2 things i do well




here's a flipbook the mr. & i made at a wrap party



so i got a digital perm about three months ago & i love it! 
to maintain the curls i have been using LUCIDO Designing Aqua & my T3 Blowdryer & diffuser



this description of the product is perhaps a battle of intensity and overkill

Amika Triple Barrel Pro Curler Set



clamp free in three sizes perfect for your hair at any length in life! 
it also comes with a heat resistant glove so you don't torch those pretty digits of yours. 
love this iron because it sets curls at a high heat so they maintain a nice shape throughout the day


WOODHOUSE Salted Caramels


i'm not a chocolate lover at all but,
my pal Katherine over at http://www.featherfactor.com/ turned me onto these.
she gave me a six pack of the assorted milk & dark choco  & my world was forever changed!
seriously, if you want to make some bitch fat get her these rich, buttery fleur de sel sprinkled fuckers! 
oh, and don't feel too bad about eating them all in one sitting. 
they only have a shelf life of 7 days so eat up!
