I am re-reading my favorite chick lit book:  The Dirty Girls Social Club by Alisa Valdes-Rodrigues. I like her stuff but I must say this is my favorite. Even though I've read it twice I still laugh out loud at all the good parts and shed tears during the sadder moments.

One of my favorite quotes from the book is:

I went to Isla Verde Beach in Puerto Rico which is close to the airport and very pretty but there was a lot of kids shouting and making noise. There was also no showers on the beach so I was full of sand on the ride back. I was grateful to shower and sleep when I got home. Here are some photos from my trip.

 

 

 

I will be with Love Anjia on Sunday at Bushwick Open Studios where she will be selling some of her designs. Come through and get a coquettish girly skirt for yourself or your girlfriend.

Has anyone else noticed that thanks to social networking hypocrites have a new outlet for their phoniness. Personally I see a friend talk really badly about some individuals and then later I see them sucking up to them on facebook, leaving flirty playful messages on their walls. Of course I know we have to be civil and mature even when we don't like people, especially when they work with you so completely ignoring their friend requests might not be an option but kissing up is another story. It makes me take them less seriously. It seems like abnormal behavior when it would be much easier to just play it cool. The only reason for doing this I can think of is that maybe they feel guilty so they make up for it by sucking up later witout realizing they come across mad fake. I prefer to keep it real and keep the company of people who also do so.

Thats my rant of de day.

I am very excited to announce that I have a play coming up on the first week of July. Please add the page on Facebook: Rock Stone Productions.  I also made a facebook page for one of the designers I work with most often. Look up Love Anjia on facebook. I really love her stuff so I would love for you to "like" this page as well. I actually did a shoot with her on Saturday and I can't wait to see the pictures!!!

 

My friends came to visit with me while I was in Bogota and while we were in la Candelaria we actually got to take a picture with Colombia's presidential candidate, Rafael Pardo.

 

I agree with Uma on this one:

"I love what I do. For my well-being, I need to be reminded that I have other purposes. In the old days, people pined for their husbands. In modern life, your work is like your man, your love.

"I feel like we can spend a lot of time bashing our beautiful country, but we don’t give it enough credit."

"[The media] might be a little slow and it might not be on par to how we, as American civilians, would like it to be, but it is still an amazing country. So, when I look at magazines like Vanity Fair and Vogue, I know that it's just a matter of time, the same way Obama took his time and he got to office and became President… it's just a matter of time until magazines, the media, our art, our culture, our colloquial lifestyle, tags along to our today reality."

"I was taught by my mother, who was an immigrant, to be very grateful to this country. It is no different than when you have a dysfunctional family – it can be very dysfunctional –but it is still your family… and America is still ours. I think we can waste a lot time throwing it down the drain and not knowing the amazing things about this country."

Here are a few photos from my photo shoot with Lois Lane Vintage. I had a great time doing this shoot and I got some great pictures. It was nice because it felt like I was doing a girl's night instead of working. I will be posting all of them on my site soon.

This one kind of reminds me of the ipod images:

And this is a hipster version of me:
