The Gold in the Purple & Gold

www.theoriginators.com I am digging. There ain't nuthin' like the LA culture.

Jono from Make Me A Supermodel made it!

Here he is on Balenciaga's Spring 09 RTW runway.



Back in the day:



I was rooting for this kid, but they cut him for being too wimpy? Apparently they didn't get the memo that that's favorable in the industry? He's the only one who actually made some success! I miss UK Make Me A Supermodel. The US one is coming again next month, but it sucks.

One of the coolest cats Tamil Nadu has ever birthed. Back in the day:

Struck gold in the Sivalingam garage, once again!

The sickest belt I've held in my hands. My garage has always truly been a gold mine, no matter what house we've lived in. I remember countless questionings of "Where did you get/find that?", followed by my response: "My garage." My fourth grade class knew that my garage contained ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. I would always bring in stuff related to class that I would randomly find. To this day I can dig around in my garage for hours and find treasures. I found the sickest fabrics this week in there that I hope will one day be transformed into some awesome garment/s. (Having a South Asian mother with a neverending supply of saris is textile bliss. I kid you not when I say that there are artilleries of saris in every room of my house. You can even look under the beds.) I also found a most legit pair of vintage Any Weather sunglasses.

RuPaul's Drag Race

Quite possibly the best reality show VH1 has ever broadcasted.



Highlights from the 20 minutes I saw: Santino Rice as a judge maintaining seriousness the whole time. Michelle Williams (the Destiny's Child that no one cares about) brought to tears by a lipsynched rendition of her new 'hit'.

I'm not impressed with the chick shoes. They need to revitalize their clothing/accessory line.

Bertie Wooster

I found this from livejournal. I guess I'm not the only one of the cyber generation with a thing for Bertie Wooster.



I love these (made by lj user lidi):

I Can't Stand the Rain

I couldn't find a performance video of this song :(

Perfect LA Sunday: 5

Pasadena- It was such a beautiful day. Quite a shock since I've been in Arkansas/Mississippi/Tennessee/Alabama for the past week. I'll post about it later once my photos develop. I'm surprised I didn't gain any weight from my adventures in the Dirrty South. Anyway, had my very first interview (with Brown) at Corner Bakery, and it went really well. Then I took a lovely walk around Lake & Del Mar. I looked around Anthropologie searching for a birthday gift and sniffing the fab selection of fragrances.

I'm so overwhelmed! Planning for Coachella/spring break (Turkey)/summer, doing chores for the 'rents, and CLEANING MY ROOM pt.537.

I'm loving Tokyomilk's Ex Libris perfume. It's a slightly lighter comparison to Cosmic Wonder's Six Scents perfume I was raving about earlier, but it's a fraction of the price.

Today's quip:
