Happy Halloween!!!

My girl and I decided to be Jwoww and Snook for Halloween at work. I know, I know, not very original or exciting, but it was actually fun, even though some people had no clue as to who I was. LOL.

Hula's Modern Tiki

Another must to visit is Hula's Modern Tiki in downtown Phoenix which recently opened. It's very hipster-ish and something that you would never thought of Phoenix having, however it's very much welcomed. I went on Sunday with the bf and some friends and we sat outside for brunch in the beautiful, Fall weather. I kept an eye on all the patrons of the place, some cruising up on there beach cruisers (or just bicycles as they're called out here since we don't have a beach. Boo) and trendy hats and sneakers. I had the Kona coffee battered french toast and it was heaven. I want to go back one night for their dinner menu.

Happy Birthday Matt & Kasey

Love you both!

Milk Munny

I'm lazy today, so this is straight from the Dearly Departed website! I'm allowed to steal from them...the co-owner is my boyfriend. LOL

"Come join us Friday, October 1st as we kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Milk Munny: A Vinyl Toy Exhibit. Featuring the works of renowned artists (including AZ legends Dumper Foo, Alyisse Tramel, and Joshua Rhodes), the showcase also boasts a Munny designed by the staff of LA’s High Voltage Tattoo. Proceeds from each toy sold will benefit The Keep A Breast Foundation, an organization that is well known for promoting awareness through art events. With sounds by the illustrious DJ M2, the exhibit takes place at Downtown Phoenix’s Monorchid Gallery. For more information on the event, visit www.milkmunny.org."


**Update** - the above paragraph may have been written by a friend over at Fresh Fiends...LOL... either or, just get your asses to the exhibit!

Happy New Year

2009 started off rough for the boyfriend and I; we both lost our jobs and the stress of it all took it's toll on our relationship. Thankfully though our love conquered all and we pushed forward. As 2009 came to a close, things are looking much better for 2010. My new job is going well and his clothing line, Dearly Departed, is taking off, and our relationship is better than ever. We have our health, friends, and family...this will be a good year. So cheers to old friends, new friends, friends we have yet to meet, my family, fantastic family, my boyfriend, and to all of you that read this blog and all my nonsense, I wish you a Happy and prosperous New Year!

Fresh Fiends Charity Event

On Friday night, the crew and I gathered in downtown Phoenix during First Friday's for a grand opening of one of the bf's friends stores who by the way is carrying the Dearly Departed clothing line. Then it was off to Hidden House for the Fresh Fiends charity . It was good times with good company.

Fresh Fiends Giving Back

Shouts out to the girls over at Fresh Fiends for putting on such a faboo benefit last night over at Hidden House. Not only was the event to raise money for charity, but it also showcased local artists. Dope time, great music, and lovely people. Oh, and you can't forget about the Dave sandwich.
