I finally saw Iron Man over the holiday weekend, and now I have a big crush on Anthony Stark. I’ve always been a fan of Robert Downey Jr. since his ’80s classics: Weird Science, Chances Are, and Back to School. I’m so glad he’s still around and killin’ it.

I’m in love with the posters by Jason Munn on his site, The Small Stakes. He’s designed an amazing catalog of posters for artists like Feist, Death Cab for Cutie, Stars, etc. He recently designed a poster for one of my favorite spots, The Curiousity Shoppe on Valencia Street.

I watched Valley of the Dolls last night for the first time - such a great story with timeless themes on female sexuality, addiction, success and relationships.

Mystify, INXS Kick

You’re eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
And they’ll kiss you every night

I went to the Kikkerland site to order these silver pens, and got totally sucked in. Sadly, I had to click “Remove” in my shopping cart because my clicks weren’t in line with my shopping budget. In any case, I got a lot of great gift ideas, and expect to return to their site before Christmas. For instance, who wouldn’t want this solar powered disco ball in their stocking!

What a Lovely Name lets you browse baby names by tradition, disposition and celebrity babies. With the recent news that my best friend is pregnant and my sister-in-law is having twins, I’ve got babies on the brain.

Tweaking to a whole new era

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 21:01:00 -0800

Obama’s victory tonight has inspired a re-play (in my head) of one of my favorite lyrics from the ’90s rap song, Regulate:

“…I’m tweaking
Into a whole new era
G-funk
Step to this
I dare ya
Funk
On a whole new level…”

Yeah, Obama is tweakin’ us to a whole new era - he’s a regulator all right:

OK, Antihero’s web site sucks, and Mission Skateboards only has a private myspace account (why private if you’re a business!?), but I don’t care, cuz both have made my skate dreams come true with my new Cardiel board. Yeah, that’s right. I’m 30 and just bought a skateboard. But I’m psyched ‘cuz any riding on a board with wind in my (short) hair feels great. I’m still working on making my moves sick and gnar, but i’m having fun practicing in the meantime. P.S. This is an awesome documentary on John Cardiel - inspiring!

Tomorrow I head to Calistoga, CA for some much needed R&R on the second week of my vacation before starting a rockin’ gig at AKQA. I’m psyched for my spa appointment at Indian Springs. I’ve been wanting to go there for years! I can’t wait to kick back, read a book, spend time with a BFF and spoil my body silly!

holla: peter and tricia's (old) place on Apartment Therapy

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:41:00 -0700

Pete and Trish are definitely one of my favorite couples, and here they are as fabulous as ever, being featured *again* in apartment therapy for “color month” for their 2007 apartment tour. Believe me, their new pad is just as fabulous and colorful. I totally credit Trish for their style, as she’s been also a fashion inspiration to me (pete, you know I love you, but trish has the style cred).

I’m so ready to get my carve on - here’s one of my jack o’lanterns from last year, which I snagged on an awesome day trip to Dell’Osso Family Farms in Lathrop, CA. I suspect I won’t be shooting pumpkins out of cannons or getting lost in a corn maze this year, but I’m sure I’ll bring home the perfect pumpkins to spook my home.
