last saturday we hiked into a vague rainbow in joshua tree+lay in the santa monica night sand before cosy-ing up in coach to wake up red eyed at jfk:

"today was a good day."
-ice cube

the smoke bombs+laughter made our eyes water hard.

hope y'all had a magical merry holiday + i wish you an explosively awesome new years eve!!

we're ditching the new york new years brouhaha (IN MY NEW CAR!) to hang out in a lake house in the poconos!

what we've got on the agenda: eat loads of yummy marlow+daughters food, light a couple smoke bombs, wear sequins by the fire, take LOADS of fotos, drink this bottle of veuve and just get really fucking groovy.

i promise i will post more fotos soon. i just cleared 3,660 pics from iphoto-i.e. i've finally had a chance to upload all my digi pics from november+december...but i have to go dig my car out from under heaps of snow so my apologies but you'll have to wait a few days more:)

i don't know about you but my new years resolutions are stacking up: eat more fruit, make some more books, back up my digi jazz more frequently, jump rope, get rid of this vintage archive (lemme know if you'd like to make an appointment to go thru it;), +paint more frequently.
what are yours??

fittingly, my (first?) primetime subtitle is, "she took off her bra."

here are some screengrabs from that Z Spoke/zac posen fashion show (for america's next top model) turner and i worked on in june...

it was NUTS...and they edited us down to 15 minutes...can you tell we were understaffed and exhausted from working 24 hour days??

the highlight in NO UNCERTAIN way was meeting miss jay.
i was out in the trailer printing out the looks and he came by while carmen and i were having a smoke break...
+holy shit. he's BEYOND hilarious!!
i mean damn i've never laughed so hard with a stranger+lord knows, i've laughed quite a lot...he was dissing the show and tyra and he is perhaps one of the most captivating and charismatic individuals i've had the pleasure of interacting with.

you can watch the episode here...you can spot turner at 5:48 and my acne ass at 6:07.
enjoy!
(oh+if you watch the whole episode...you'll see what i may consider to be the single most humiliating roller skating model fall in history...over and over again.)

p.s. backstage fashion ain't ever too cute but HOT lights and camera crews certainly don't help make it any easier..(please see the photos of me and carmen sprinting after that model..kinda cave woman-in-victorian-like.)

here's how our geeked out screening party went.
(or shall i say screen-grabbing party:)

ohio bound.

off to cleveland for the weekend for some family fiestas...hopefully sharice will keep working on the sketchbooking whilst i am away.
besos.

get it together.

catch you on the flip.

it's 8:51am, i haven't slept. i'm hoping to trick my body into sin jetlag territory.
(flying out at 6:45pm, arriving at 8am...with xabi+sari in bcn already.)

woop de woop..si, si!
y si senor, mi amor..2 months later, it's finally time!

ciao for now.
besitos.

p.s. my camera was returned from the fix it shop via u.p.s. yesterday afternoon, so i'm back in bidness with the fotos part of the equation.
