Lounging in Style?

We need some new chairs in our studio. Peeped around the net and look what we found... 


Not sure if I would want to sit in this eco friendly one...

Thank you, Ms. Amelia Earhart, for adding a style of your own to the world.

And thank you to the savvy aviatrix, Ms. Anita "Neta" Snook, for being her first instructor!

 we're soaking up the electro-dynamic energy of the city of moto-bikes and street food stalls! we're overjoyed with the amount of fine quality silk fabrics we're finding. we toured through a hot and steamy Cho Lon for what seemed to be an endless selection of buttons and trims. we've taken a moto-bike lesson and are well on way to being a part of the rolling party. we're just smitten with the people, food, culture and are both trying to figure out how to live here part time.  oh, and we had the great pleasure of attending our cousin's wedding. so much fun!

IT'S A SIGN

Came across this at a taco joint.

If only everyone had the ability to express themselves this way.

Upfront.

To the point, and direct.

If only.

You tell'em!

Oh Rodney!

Say hello to Mr. Rodney Bingenheimer aka Rodney on the ROQ!!!!

MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS (M.O.T.O)

the los angeles sun sets before 5 pm
because it is what it is; the world turns, the earth orbits, seasons change, and voila an earlier sunset

But... there's something I must confess....
