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...

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...

I love SPAM comments like these…

I get a lot of spam comments in my blog. I usually just delete them, but sometimes, there are some that catch my eye and they are so special that I just need to share them with the world. Like this one: Hi there! My first post at this great blog! I wanna show u...

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...

A vampire stole my keys.

WHOA. It’s been a very adventurous kind of day! First off, let me just mention that Mondays are my busiest days. I wake up around 5 or 6 to go the gym, get back and then prepare for my long day of teaching and writing in the city – but that’s hard to do when...

What have I been watching? reading? writing?

I have been watching… My 90210 obsession is alive and well. I have managed to watch seasons two and three of this show in the past two and a half weeks! Sometimes it pays to be unemployed. Anyways, these two seasons are PACKED with the greatest shows this series have to offer: Brenda and Donna...

My ingenious teleplay: DENIED!

So a couple months back I wrote a teleplay for this screenwriting competition hosted by the New York Television Festival. And today, I got this email: Dear Friend, I regret to inform you that your script was not selected as one of the 25 finalists in the NYTVF-Fox Comedy Script Contest. The decision tasked to...

SF Chronicle joins the lay-off fun!!!

Well, it hasn’t come to lay-offs yet, but they are having some buyout fun…check it out: The San Francisco Chronicle will offer at least 125 employees the chance to take a buyout before the end of the year, the company said Friday. “Obviously, we’re not the first newspaper to be affected by the continuing downturn...

What the hell do I know about fashion?

This is so wrong. A couple of weeks ago, my friend Jen sent and article I wrote years ago when I worked for The Battalion at Texas A&M University titled, “Fall Fashion: What’s HOT & What’s NOT”. Yes, I went to one of the most conservative universities in the nation and no, I don’t know...

Pictures from FASHION ON THE SQUARE

Here are some supplemental pics from the 5th annual Fashion on the Square event this past weekend in San Francisco (they go along with this little piece I just wrote for Examiner.com) All photos are by me of course… Looks by Virgil Ortiz A menacing violinist introduces the blindfolded collection… I love me a nice...

Hey folks! I landed a gig on Examiner.com (in case you didn’t catch that link in the SJP post). I am officially the S.F. Fashion Examiner! Check it out by clicking here! And make sure you visit often! Doesn’t that picture make me look REALLY vain?

Freelancing for Details magazine…

This month’s James McAvoy-clad issue of Details is a good one. There’s an article on guys who get vasectomies in their 20′s. Excellent read. There’s also a fun article on Joel McHale. But there’s one thing missing – my name in the contributors section. I’ve pitched the magazine plenty of times and I was lucky...
