WTF A Podcast?

I'm sorry I haven't updated. But you just kind of lose the will to when you see that you have at least 80 people who read your blog but never comment. I just so happened to get really bored today and made a podcast.

Yes, a podcast.

You get to hear my super-sassy uppermiddleclassbitch voice. But not too much of it, it's mostly music. Girly, electro music. If this gets a semi-decent response, who knows? Maybe I'll humor you with another one some time!

You can either download it here or here.

OMFG.

So the other day I was checking through Temptalia (a great resource for my fellow high-end makeup junkies by the way) and I noticed something wonderful. Something fabulous. The words 'Hello Kitty' and 'M.A.C.' very close to each other. M.A.C. Cosmetics has officially released, as of last week in stores and counters, the Hello Kitty collection. There will also be a three-piece special edition Swarovski-encrusted Kitty Kouture collection available in March. I'm totally willing to blow $90+tax on the compact. It's refillable like all of the other compacts. So excited for the month of March now. What's this you say? It's too expensive? Pretentious? No.

IT'S A MOTHERFUCKING GODSEND, I SAY.



From WWD:
"The Hello Kitty offerings fall into two collections: the Hello Kitty Colour Collection and the more high-end Hello Kitty Kouture. The bulk of the items are in the former category: six shades of lipstick with names like Fashion Mews and Strayin’, each $14; six Lipglass shades, each $14; and two tinted lip conditioners, $14.50 each; two eye shadow palettes, which each contain four shades and retail for $38; two shades of pigment are $19.50 each, and two Reflects Glitter stockkeeping units — one blue, one pink — are $17.50 each. Four Glitter Eye Liners, each $16.50, two shades of Beauty Powder, each $22; three shades of nail polish, each $11; a black mascara, $12, and false lashes, $12, round out the color offerings. Shades range from pinks and turquoises to lavenders and greens."

And now just a few pictures from the original Hello Kitty collection mentioned above:





I'll be purchasing a bit of this collection and will do a review of the color collection a little later on.

Moving Again

I decided last week that I'm going to be moving right on back to Miami. It's not that I don't like Chicago -- it's a cool city, seriously -- I'm just not feeling it as much as my hometown. I'm also not feeling all this damn cold weather. I'll be visiting Chicago and whatnot but hopefully before the end of December I'll be completely moved out of my apartment in The Loop and be back in swing in the 305. I won't be gone forever though. I'll occasionally come by for good parties I hear about and stuff.

I plan to travel to parties all over this winter and spring. Places I plan to hit up are NYC, L.A., Melbourne, and possibly Atlanta! Let's hope I get a new camera this Christmas so I can document my craziness and stop relying on party photographers. I really do appreciate people like Jipsy, Justin, Bronques, Clayton, etc. Thanks for capturing the memoriesss.

See you bitches this weekend! Hit me up on Twitter/Facebook/MySpace/here/whatever and let me know what's going down. Let's partyyy.

Update

Hey! Yes, I know, I totally suck at updating. I've just been really busy with life-things. At least I'm not one of those people that takes time aside out of their real lives to blog once (or twice) a day. Plus, I'm not quite sure what to talk about when I'm not all up in the parties.

I'm 90% sure I'm going to be moving back to Miami permanently this winter. Chicago's cool and all but it's getting kind of old (and cold). I'm just not feeling it anymore. Plus, all my people are in the 305!

I'll be flying back to Miami for the holidays (and again, to probably start moving back) on Monday night.

If you don't have me added on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or tumblr yet, do it! It's all on the right side of this page. >

The Most Important Holiday of All!

My birthday is on Saturday -- let the celebration of excess begin!

You're invited to join me for my birthday at Richie Rich's Miami Beach Fashion Week (Funkshion) show. Richie Rich, a once-90s NYC club kid, is one-half of the designer duo (with Traver Rains) that is Heatherette (I don't know what the fuck is up with the site, but that's the official one). Sorry guys, my info was wrong -- it's strictly Richie's show!

The show begins at 8pm this Saturday at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden (2000 Convention Center Drive). Fisico by Christina Ferrari will follow shortly thereafter. Funkshion is really a wonderful event, whether you like fashion or not. It's a tantilizing evening of pretty people and usually imported Italian beer (Peroni, specifically).

Then throw on you FRUiTs-wear and thong-sandals for Grace and I's Asian Pop Culture-themed party at White Room (1306 N. Miami Ave). Dressing up isn't required for entry. Shit, I don't even know what I'm going to wear to my own party. I joked about it earlier and just said that maybe I should just show up in one of my usual minis seeing as I am of Asian descent. I win.

RSVP for White Room here on Facebook (I didn't write that event description...) and RSVP for the fashion show via brendon@funkshion.com.

I'm only going to be in Miami from Friday night until Monday afternoon, so make sure you come see me and wish me a happy birthday. Presents? I like neon pink things, glitter, vegan baked goods, rare electro vinyl and Jagermeister.

I'm going to do it up really big, as usual.

Fucking A

Sorry for like, the complete standstill in posts. I've been ridiculously busy in Chicago and honestly have yet to really get at least knee-deep in the Chi-town club scene. I'll let you guys know when shit goes down here. I will be heading back to Miami for the weekend of my birthday for a few parties (all of which everyone is invited to).

Please visit the following for updates in Miami (including events and party pix):

MiamiNights
8MTS
Nefarious Girl
The Popness Party

To keep up with me add me on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. I'm also going to attempt to get back to at least updating my Tumblr. Mmmmmm online social networks.

P.S. Come visit my place in Chicago. I'll serve you cupcakes on top of a pink platter that has been sprinkled with loose glitter and a mirror heart.

Reminder!

My official going-away party is tonight at White Room.

There's NO cover, open bar (free vodka!) 10-11 and first 10 minutes of every hour, the best DJs: Johnny Strokes, AL B Rotten, and De La Vega (Diego + Dalton), and you should should come to see me for one of my last party nights in Miami, bitches!

1306 N. Miami Ave

Miami, FL 33136

(Find it on Google Maps)

Be there or else you're stupid.

The flyer is in the previous post.

I'm going to cry in the airport...

...and it's gonna be like a movie. I'll hug my parents, grab my bags, and board the plane in slow-mo. And the guy sitting next to me on the plane will be playing some sap Coldplay or Keane song loud enough to be the soundtrack to it all. 

And then I'll get over it and become semi-famous in a new city.

I will be moving to Chicago for three or so months in 8 days (leaving Saturday morning). Although Chicago seems like an awesome city, my heart will always be in Miami. I'm going to miss this city so much! I'll even miss the assholes that weave in and out of lanes on the 836, the crazy bums that I pay off to look after my car (Troy the Wonderboy and Al, specifically) and the tourist-littered beaches. But most of all I'm going to miss my PARTY PEOPLE. What will I do without you guys? Geez.

Well, you all should know me already -- I'm having a bomb-ass going-away party tomorrow courtesy of White Room and my favorite men at MiamiNights. You need to come by and show me some lovin' before I go! Alas, this will not be my last night out at the clubs (I may host eXposure on Monday at White Room again) but it is the official party for me. It's also going to be Dalton's last night in Miami as well so you really should be there for his last set in the 305. Bring all of your friends, it's going to be popping! I whipped up a quick little flyer yesterday for it:
