WatchAlexander Wang launches his Fall 2011 T Line
Over a scant six years, Asian American designer Alexander Wang has come from being a Parsons Design School dropout to a fast rising fashion house. With the new Fall 2011 T line coming to stores and e-commerce, and an innate overachieving quality I just couldn’t help to investigate, Alexander Wang has proven to be one of the products of...

“Fare una bella figura.”
Outings in Italy
Thursday, July 9: As a well-rested, homework-oriented, end of the first week in Milan approached, it was short-circuited by the biggest temptation and indulgence thus far: an invitation to Just Cavalli, an open-air disco owned and projected by none other than THE Roberto Cavalli. And, as wordy as the previous sentence was, there aren’t enough words to even describe how much more fun this...
The Church
Yesterday (July 8th) Dr. Wright took us to an abbey built in the 13th century. It was gorgeous inside, I think anybody who isn’t Catholic would certainly feel their spiritual side when walking inside. The frescoe paintings were larger than life; and knowing that the bricks and doors were sooooo old was awe-inspiring. I remember the churches that I used to attend back at home, and services...
Ciao, Italy!
I finally arrived here in Milan. I’m ready to be completely emerged in nothing but the European perspective! Other than a small nuisance at the baggage claim and going through a night without my things, I can now say that I’ve settled into the dorms with my roommate, Zelo, who has the same expectations: a life-changing experience.
Aside from exploring around and somewhat getting lost,...

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
The Primes versus the Decepticons: a thrilling ride and a teeny-boppy love story given to us by Michael Bay. I saw the midnight showing of this highly anticipated summer movie yesterday in Fairfax Corner. Much to my NON-surprise, the second I get home (around 3:30am) and log onto the internet to even put together my thoughts about it, transformer critiques inundated the status feeds: Transformers...
No Doubt
She STILL got it - Gwen Stefani delivered nothing short of pure funk-rasta-rock awesomeness! The band stayed true to who they were 17 years ago, completely committed to the 23,000 fans at Nissan Pavilion. Nothing changed, and Gwen is still BEAST-LIIIIIIIKE. Great summer concert.
Santigold Concert
Success. She’s down to earth and clearly passionate about her art. =)
The REAL showstopper however was Amanda Blank - with her sick flow, rock/rap hair, and black lingerie under her oversized white tank. She single-handedly carried the crowd with her energy and dance moves you wish you had when no one was watching. She’s done stuff with Diplo, MIA, Santigold, and Spank Rock so...

cake eaters.
Life can be so sweet that you just can’t help but take more servings. Even if you know you’re not supposed to. Even if you see the exploitation. Even if you’re in love with someone and in like with another. And even if you still don’t know what to do with all this money. Why is it that people become so over-indulged? The only thing that comes to mind is that...
The first blog.
Awesome. Everything is everything. After winter must come spring. Change, it comes eventually. Well then Ms. Hill, after spring then comes summer… and mine is sitting pretty heavy with anticipated change. I’m sitting in purgatory during this transition between ending an era and beginning a new one; reality awaits my dream’s arrival. Kissing the old me goodbye and making sure...
