asian markets, boba tea, my backyard, clean sheets, ruffles, costumes, big dogs, big words, backless dresses...
People who like to play dress up...Oh, and did I mention I make fancy- lady ruffle shrugs? They are one of a kind and make you feel like a show pony. And speaking of show ponies, I sell my ruffled finery at my favorite boutique in Echo Park, Show Pony! Go buy one.
Some of the recent bands I've seen: Devotchka, Aleela Diane, Johanna Newsome, Ghostland Observatory, Bonnie Prince Billy, Heartless Bastards, Andrew Bird, ManMan, TV on the Radio, Rebirth Brass Band, Sunset Rubdown, Bobby Bare Junior, Dr Dog... Live music makes me so so so happy.
Some of my most favorites include; My Summer of Love, Pan's Labyrinth, Gray Gardens, The Shining, Barry Lyndon, The Fast Runner, Santa Sangre (which is only on VHS, very sad)
i wish i had television so i could watch "america's next top model," my reality crack.
All time favorites include; Geek Love, The Fountainhead, Life of Pi, Confederacy of Dunces, The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Clay... and, I'll admit that I've been known to get my nose stuck in a Harry Potter Book or two.
Dorothy Parker, Vivienne Westwood, Edith Head
