Now that John Park got the boot on American Idol, Manny Pacquiao is driving the Asian American pop culture train. He is our only hope. All of our eyes are on him. He is our God. He is watching over San Francisco in the form of a billboard perched atop Nike Town in San Francisco’s [...]

I tend to take random pictures on my Blackberry and never know what the hell to do with them. Then it donned on me, “Why don’t I just post them on my blog as enjoyable filler?”

I have been doing TONS of coverage for Dear John – so why stop?
While Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried were in San Francisco, they made an appearance at Macy’s. I took some footage with my Mino and thought I would make a little video using my broadcast media skills (please note the lower case “b” [...]

After a rousing interview with Channing Tatum, my fellow journalists and I are ready for round two of our Dear John interviews: Amanda Seyfried (and by the way – her name is pronounced Cy-fred).
She walks into the cavernous room towering in these killer heeled boots and she has a look of concern. She walks over [...]

When I say Channing Tatum will cause ears to bleed, I am referring to the amount of blood curdling squeals he is going to receive from the hoards of people that are going to be at Macy’s in SF’s Union Square. He and his Dear John co-star Amanda Seyfried are doing a meet and greet [...]

It’s about damn time something like this happened.
Man Up is a pop up store started by the Durable Goods Concern to make all the folks in San Francisco aware that there are some menswear designers that can make it hot.
The three-day event will include designers such as Taylor Stitch, AB Fits, Pierrepont, Union Made GoodsPaul’s [...]
The other day, my friend/colleague Cheryl told me that MAC (Modern Appealing Clothing, not the makeup store) in Hayes Valley was having an uber-sale. Seeing as though I easily succumb to peer pressure, we went after work.
Now MAC isn’t your normal San Francisco store. It is the ultimate destination for label whores like myself. It’s [...]

Yes, I have made it official. I am trying to start a Glee club in San Francisco for a three-part story I am working on for The Bold Italic – and I have put up an ad on Craigslist:
Looking to start a SF-based Glee club (San Francisco)

The folks at Style Cinema SF are screening a double feature of the fashion docs Unzipped and Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton this Thursday at Velo Rouge Cafe.
Now you can take them off of your Netflix queue and make room for other movies like…The Monster Squad.

It’s not often that there are “red carpet” events here in San Francisco – and if they do happen, it’s very low-key. But when they do happen you bet your ass that I’m gonna be there. I see it as my civic duty.
Last night, people flocked to the Letterman Digital Arts Center in the Presidio [...]
