big balls.

one red ball. 6 twenty-somethings.

hours of entertainment.

who says children's toys are just for children?!

freaky + awesome.

do you watch fringe? i'm obsessed.

it's like x-files + alias + csi + awesomeness all rolled into one.

never before was i so grateful for hulu.

red bull flugtag.

red bull flugtag.

long beach. this weekend.

you in?

say cheese.

sometimes i take pictures of people in love.

it makes me happy.

neon trees + justin bieber.

yup yup yup.

love it every time.

weird + awesome.

so i'm not the best at makeup.

but sometimes i surprise even myself

with my awesomeness.

behold, the anime eye. sure, it's really supposed

to look like this but given what i had to work with

(almost nothing), it was a pretty good first try.

lash-tastic.

(left eye - no lashes, right eye - lashes)

i'm doing eyelash extensions now.

one taste of this fabulousness and you'll NEVER go back.

promise.

email or call me if you're interested.

and while i wait for your call, i'll get some better pics up.

step up 3: to D or not to D?

so maybe i've seen it twice.

once in 3D. once in...regular D.

go for 3D. it's worth the $4 extra. promise.

oh and also, i've decided to start my own

dance crew. holler at me if you wanna join.

bfab.

billboard.

project runway. i know, i know. late again.

so how awesome that the winning designer

got their design on a billboard in times square?!

that's...HUGE. pun intended.

i LOVED the winning design! i've been wanting

to squeeze myself into a jumpsuit for awhile now.

i know, i know, it just won't work for

my bodacious bod but a girl can dream. dream BIG!

this beaut almost makes me believe i could pull it off.

i said ALMOST.

second to the onesie, i really liked the red ensemble.

although i'm not convinced the tailoring/structure

deserved all the raving from the judges. but the neckline

and the color get an A+ from me.

oh...AND

what are your thoughts the mondo meltdown?

m'peanut says super tender. i say make a friend already.

but still, i kinda don't hate him. should i?

walk the walk 2010.

last week, i had the awesome opportunity to do hair and makeup

for hurley's walk the walk student fashion show held

in conjunction with the us open of surfing!

it was really fun to push myself and have to

think on my feet as far as styling goes.

evelyn from toms river east in new jersey

(that's right - jersey shore, baby!)

was a doll to work with.

we did a modified "snookie" and kicked the

pouf to the side, braided up the back and then

secured the remaining hair in a side pony.

she loved it!

this little miss needed

a wild look to match her wild character.

her hair needed to draw attention but

she still had to be able to incorporate the

character mask that was part of her costume.

we teased the top and formed it into a mile-high mohawk,

kept the sides smoothed and roughed up the ends

to create a wild style that looked fierce!

for another cdm darling, we gave her some volume

and the front, wrapped the top of her hair into a bun,

brought the back of her hair up to the crown

in a modified french braid, leaving the rest to

cascade down the side of her face.

this style was perfect for her as a dancer

in her school's program. she needed her hair to be

off her face and secure but voluminous and interesting

at the same time.

after the styling was done, i ran out to catch the show.

it was great to see my work on the runway.

even better, corona del mar high won the competition!

i like to think it was my awesome

hairstyling schools that contributed to that. ha! all in all, it was

a great experience and i would do it again in a heartbeat!

check a video recap of hurley's walk the walk 2010

fashion show here.

weekend.

sometimes my friends and i dance

the night away and then camp out at the 7-11

until the wee hours of the morn.

we're awesome like that.

kogi.

dusty and i braved the crowds and hopped in

line for the kogi truck. it's korean bbq to-go. they announce

their locations via twitter and the peeps line up to partake.

sometimes they wait for HOURS. luckily, our wait wasn't bad.

short rib tacos? spicy pork quesadillas?

oh my yum. i'm all in.

check out the travelin' bit o' deliciousness

on twitter to find a kogi truck near you.

runway recap: ep 1.

project runway. we're off!

honestly, i wasn't SUPER impressed with a lot of the designs.

i DID really liked the winning design though.

this early on, it's often hardto pick a fave

but i'm pretty sure i know who i DON'T like.

the latino with the D&G pants is at the top of the list of annoyances.

i can't believe the judges kept him. speaking of the judges,

i felt like they were REALLY harsh this ep. i kinda felt bad for everyone.

oh also, i'm not sure mckell should've gone home.

what do you think?

spectacular spectacular.

oxygen has a new show coming out: hair battle spectacular.

i'm thinking it's gonna be a half a step above rupaul's drag race,

but i'll still be tuning in. you know there's gonna be so much drama.

hair drama is the best (and worst) kind. can't WAIT!

comedy tonight!

i was invited to do the stage makeup

for men alive - the orange county gay men's chorus.

never one to turn down an opportunity, i jumped at the

chance to hone my stage makeup skills.

originally, i was slated to only do the

makeup for the bride of frankenstein...

...but ended up making up a passel of monsters.

pure craziness. pure hilarity.

here's vern. my bride. he's a doll.

rik/uncle fester was also a lot of fun to work with.

so so so SO sweet and funny.

oh and also, i met leslie jordan.

'member him? karen's nemesis on will & grace.

the man is hilarious. like...HYSTERICAL!

exhibit a: after makeup, he offered to trade my

people magazine for his already read magazines.

this is what he came back with. yep, that's right.

national enquirer. as he dropped them off he said:

"you need to read about whitney and her drug problem.

her and lindsey [lohan]...what's to become of them?!"

pure comedy.

eight is great.

project runway. season eight. tonight.

get excited, people. it's gonna be GOOD.

pic

yee-haw!

country music. can't get enough these days. weird.

between hillbilly bones and uh-uh-uh-uh-undoin' it,

i'm startin' to feel like i need to bust out m'rodeo gear.

what songs have you tappin' your feet this summer?

pomp and circumstance.

sometimes i pretend like i'm janelle monae

and do my hair in a pompadour.

t-t-t-tick on the tightrope.

renegade.

renegade craft fair.

m'girl susan is rollin' into town.

wanna come kick it with us?

c'mon then.

photo shoot.

here are a couple proofs from

last month's photo shoot. my faves, actually.

it was my first shoot, so there were definitely

some discoveries

(re: exposed undergarments, too much cleave, etc.)

but, all in all, i'm pleased.

i loooove how her highlights photographed!

and the texture (curls) is gorgeous!

isn't chelsea adorable?!

who wants to model for me next?

i'm thinking something blonde and beachy.

still love her.

'member when i gushed about janelle monae?

yep, still obsessed.

when you're done marveling, hit up miss jane's

monthly mix of musical faves. good stuff.

p.s. here's the jm original version of tightrope. so dope.

re-do.

i'm dying to re-do my bedroom but

am feeling totally uninspired lately.

i think this is just the thing to get the juices flowing.

speaking of re-dos. check this out.

twinners.

have you been watching sytycd?

you know i have. i'm obsessed.

speaking of obsessions, pretty sure my sean

looks like an older, less fruity version of this season's

kent boyd. what do you think?

tee hee.

here's a shirt for all you nyc like-ers out there.

thanks for the laugh, peanut.

bubblicious.

whilst visiting the fam in washington,

i spent HOURS blowing bubbles for my nephew.

i'd blow the bubble. he'd pop it.

he'd say, "more." i'd say, "again please."

he'd nod his head and say, "den deese."

confession: i was as entertained as he was.

want you so bad it hurts.

skype. ON YOUR PHONE.

who's feeling generous?

surfin' donuts.

miss katie and i hit up surfin' donuts

for a little fifth of july breakfast.

we ordered breakfast burritos.

katie got hers with extra eggshell. gag.

besides that little snafu, the food was delish!

i really enjoyed the wall o' tiles.

my fave was the one on the far right, second from the bottom.

it's an old fashioned donut and the caption says:

"retro, not old fashioned."

oh em gee.
