• This past Saturday night, I totally enjoyed a spontaneous, tipsy, and dressed up dinner at Avalon where I suddenly and wholeheartedly was converted to the virtues of (rare) lamb. Oh my god! Rosemary infused lamby goodness! The boy and I cleaned our plates and it’s just what I needed. We enjoy food far too much.
• Edy’s limited edition coconut pineapple ice cream is THE DEVIL!
• I will say it again, Julia Wertz is my hero.
• This letter of complaint about Virgin Airline’s food is one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while.
• I love this sentimental sterling silver bread tag pendant!

• How much fun would the program Lectra Fashion PLM V1R5 be to play with?
• I wish I could’ve seen the Chinese New Year festivities with my own eyes! My god the dumplings!

• This video of all the pictures a couple took while vacationing in Japan is so frantic!
• An alum of the French Culinary Institute Manhattan returns to judge midterms.
• Ninh Wysocan is a jewelry designer from Guam, and graduate of RISD who delicately crochet’s silver into whisper thin necklaces as well as creating substantial cuffs like this one being sold at Barneys. Even this retains an airy feel.

• I find it funny how hearing a new song for the first time can sometimes make you physically uncomfortable and then suddenly, weeks later, you think it’s the sexiest thing you’ve ever heard!
• I’m so excited that Kate Bingaman-Burt of Obsessive Consumption is coming to 1708 Gallery here in Richmond! (Showing with 3 other artists, March 6 – April 11)
• If you happen to be near Seattle on or after February 5th, check out this show at 108 Occidental Gallery. It’s the first solo show of an old friend and mind blowing painter of the hyper-realism style, Brien White. We miss you in Richmond, Brien!

• The end of Circuit City has put a few friends in a tailspin, I recently purchased my laptop from them so god knows what will happen when this thing eats it, and their current “liquidation” sale is complete joke. 10% off? Thanks.
• Astrology everywhere. Grow up.
• I noticed my face powder for touchups didn’t seem so fresh anymore so it was time to get a new one. I use L’Oreal True Match. The colors on the little sample sheet that disappear on your face are the ones to match. Well, I am the lightest shade available! When I was a child I could get so brown in the summer, I looked Middle Eastern, now I’m as pale as a goth kid.
• The first peeks at McQueen’s collection for Target have been released. I’m really not feeling it while everyone else is going nuts. Sloppy basics. That’s what I see. This dress is the only piece that looks like more than 10 minutes of thought went into it and those shoes are not screaming springtime.
