Tim Gunn remembered me!!!

On Monday, I interviewed Tim Gunn at Macy’s in San Francisco – it was way calmer than when I did the whole Paris Hilton event. Apparently, when I walked in for the interviewed, Mr. Gunn remembered me from a couple of fashion weeks ago when I met him after a Tracy Reese show! I felt...

Shameless crosslinking: December 4, 2008

- Pantone picks mimosa as the color of 2009. In a close second was Sunny Delight orange. - Thierry Mugler is set to costume Beyonce’s tour. I am sure House of Dereon is extremely disappointed. - I finished reading Revolutionary Road and then watched a screening the next day. Besides being scared out of settling...

My week in review: Nov. 17-23

Monday: Acted a fool while inspiring young minds at the Academy and experimented with calamari cooking techniques, discussed Rosetta Stone and had Tagalog lessons with Trisha and Steven. Tuesday: Screening of “Milk” (Please, go see this movie. It is one of the best this year – and it was shot in SF!). Wrote. In the...

Shameless ‘Twilight’ cross linking…

So I did an interview with Robert Pattinson – I didn’t get to take a pic with him like I normally do when I interview a celebrity because they wouldn’t let me. Damn. And I was supposed to moderate a Q&A at Hot Topic the same day, but because those tweens were outta control, they...

Crying over ‘Milk’ and experiencing ‘Twilight’

I just came home from a long ass day. I went to a screening of

Week in review part 1 – Paris Hilton

The week is finally over and I can finally write something for myself – meaning, I can write on this blog that I have been neglecting. Sometimes I feel as though this blog (or any of my “personal” writing) is my child. It’s as though I gave birth to it and now I am so...

A red carpet moment with Jennifer Siebel Newsom

I have been doing TONS of red carpet coverage lately. First there was the ONEXONE event with Matt Damon, Wyclef Jean and Josh Groban, then there was yesterday’s Milk premiere with an avalanche of celebs like Emile Hirsch, Joseph Cross, Josh Brolin, Allison Pill, Diego Luna, James Franco and Sean Penn. Then there was the...

Estelle, playing darts, Halston and other stuff

As I sit here watching (but not paying attention to) a DVR’d episode of Heroes and worrying about a big Hayward fault earthquake (it’s the 140th anniversary of the famous quake – isn’t it morbid in how they celebrate that shit?), I am forcing myself to post because my brain is drained from writing all...

Guess who I met tonight?

Yes, that’s right – I met Mr. Vogue Editor-at-Large, Andre Leon Tally. He was at this Halston Retrospective at the Neiman’s in San Francisco tonight. He was very kind and when Cheryl (my colleague and boss at Academy of Art University) and I met him, he immediately knew what dress she was wearing and we...

I got a new gig!

I am officially a Blogatorial Board Member on StyleHive.com! Check out my snazzy pic on their blogger page by clicking here! And for the record, that picture they used is not posed at all. It is TOTALLY candid. It’s just another gig to add to my grocery list of gigs! How exciting is that? Check...

Old news: Macy’s Passport

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Macy’s Passport in San Francisco and I took Steve and Charles as my plus two. There was lots of food and I didn’t get hit on once. However, Charles and Steve did. I mean, why didn’t I get hit on? I am an angel. I am ethereal....

What have I been watching? reading? eating? writing?

I haven’t listed the things on my pop culture menu as of late, so here’s an update! (OMG! That rhymed!) I’ve been watching… Hamlet 2: Eh. It was kinda funny. But most of the funny is towards the end of the movie – and Elisabeth Shue is in it! Vicky Cristina Barcelona: Not as high...
