I was worried that my side order of fries was getting cold...tsk...tsk.

A party ain't aparty without a cocktail or 4.

If you know me, or have come to know me, you will know that coupled with this expression is a very loud gafaw that is also known as my laughter. We had a lovely night out at a spot on Melrose called LaLa's. Great, swift service and tasty too. Thank you so much guys for making my birthday away from home so special.

Simple Style : Sartorialist x Alessandra Colombo

I am an avid Scott Schuman fan , I met him personally a few months ago here in LA and got him to sign his crazy style journal book for me. I came across this woman on his blog and loved her instantly. She reminds me of me, her style that is. She just executes the Androgyny so well. Check out her style porfile-innerview here.

Monday morning a good friend of mine, put together this photo shoot. Ariel aka Bitta, the Awesome set up shop in my studio apartment in Koreantown to document the urbanmosadi and her Pista in LA. It was really a very organic experience, with tons of giggles. I love them. Thank you Ariel.

The Tube : I love this.,

I have been waiting for a version like this to come out. This is much better than the OG.

This colourway was inspired by the colour green. Green can be tricky to style, but you just have to have it in the right hue.

The Streets : Nickerson Gardens aka Home of the Bloods (LA)

This lady said something so profound, she said : "I don't like the Police, but I would not want to live in a place where there weren't none."

Standard.

Nothing could have summed up my living experience of this City of Lost Angeles than the 'ghetto' experience I had. I have been living in LA now for a good 8months and the closest I got from anything 'ghetto' was getting lost in East LA one evening on my way to Little Tokyo on my Bianchi. I have the privilege to see the other side of LA, via Nickerson Gradens aka The Nicks aka Bloods turf, Jordon Downs (J's) Grape Street Gang, turf aka home of the Crips. I also stood at the corner where the LA Riots began. So much I saw and took in, in one afternoon. I feel my stay here has come full circle and am content, to say the least. Thank you D :) I will be upploading my photographs in stages, there are many. First are of the street art. What is a city with spray painted murals?
