Crimped Hair

6 days left.

Six days of pure dairy bliss. Then I'm off to save the world or whatever it is I'm doing.

It hasn't really sunk in that I'm doing the diet switch as of yet.  I mean it is actually kind of heavy. Being vegan changes the way you view everything, peoples clothes, products, food, it's like you have to view the world in very specific (non animal product) glasses. Sure, it could be worse. I mean....doing this is not making me a little sad at all.....*insert my look of shame here for loving dairy products so much*

Today I started it off right and TOTALLY unhealthy, but I figure might as well get all the cheese in now that I can so maybe it's like storage and my body thinks this is what I'm actually digesting. But anyway, keep it simple, Cheese, avocado and greens sandwich. nomnom. Blah, being a vegetarian is so boring and easy.

And can we talk about fashion this summer? Cause I'm really excited about it. Lets see we have high waisted ankle cut pants (yes), vintage 50s style retro rockabilly is back!! (yes). And then my new favorite thing...CRIMPED HAIR. And I'm not lying, I will show you the fashion blogs: http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/beauty/galleries/11808/10/crimped-hair-crimped-hairstyles-crimping-crimp-hair.html#index=1

so HA, i'm not insane (well that's up for debate) and I'll crimp my hair if I want to!! Time for some hair experiment blogging 

Next, I had to travel to the dark and distant land of the valley.

Honestly, I was more scared driving around up there then I am driving around downtown. And I'm not talking like cute Sherman Oaks, lets go to that other arclight valley, I'm talking THE VALLEY. like Dogs guarding houses that are falling apart VALLEY. a VALLEY I wish to not have to return to for a while.

The cause was good though, because it was to work on the edit of TRUE PERFECTION, which slowly but surely is coming along. Here's your True perfection photo of the day.

As I am about to give up cheesey cheesy cheese forever, for dinner I had a DELICIOUS veggie burger from Juicyburger, uhm YES please. lets talk about it, cheese, sautted mushrooms, onions, tomatos, lettuce, garlic Mayo, veggie patty = 5 pounds = I don't care = eff off.

Juicy burger is one of those amazing places that you should go to if you have a second, it's maybe not the best burger I've ever had (veggie burger) whatever, but it's def up there.

Let's go on an unrelated tangent here, Don't do drugs. Just don't. Lately it seems more and more of my friends are winding up on some kinda drug that's ruining their lives. And whatsmore, I don't see the appeal here. Like frying your brain and then wasting a whole bunch of money? Yeah sounds great to me....

So after a traumatic event, yes it had to do with drugs, no we were not the ones taking them, Sabrina and I just learned we never ever wanted to do them, and we were so scarred that we fled to the closest "normal" LA bar that we could find...if you can actually count bars in LA normal. We literally walked into five different ones, veto'd them then got the fuck out of dodge.

Settling on the ever mediocre Kitchen 24, we had some noms, drank some dranks and appreciated the vague normalcy that our lives and families have. Btw, true story, you get a free cupcake if you check in there on foursquare. There's your tip for the day.

6 days....6 days....til V day

Over & out.

Day 11

Not only did I not have my curling iron this morning but I also didn't have my hair dryer. Bahhhhh

no picture cause my hair looks bad, blahblahugh

So instead I just stuffed my hair up in one of those hipster buns, well attempted too anyway, it was more of a hipster bump since my hair is jusssttt bellow my shoulders and can't get too long-hair creative with it yet. I'm longing for the day I can finally stuff it in that hipster bun though, and when that day finally happens, I am almost certain that look will be out of style. Jeez, my life is real difficult isn't it.

And SINCE I couldn't curl my hair, I certainly was not going to wear that sweater that looks way better with curled hair, no no. So lets go androgynous and wear a guys shirt. A style which I am freaking elated with, look at us hipster kids go, wearing our androgynous outfits, v-necks and hats, we got em and we're swapping!

After spending a few minutes at my work, I realized how "fuck off" my outfit was and switched up the shoes, stuck a fake flower in my hair. That works right? Professional? Just get through the day, you don't have to make any impressions on anyone...

OH WAIT. Sofia Coppola's coming in today. !!!!!!!! SASSY GO CURL YOUR HAIR!

Let me explain. My work shares the building with American Zoetrope, a fact that I already have extreme difficulty pretending is "whatever whatever," whenever I have to work with one of their employees or even see their name. I mean it's freaking ZOETROPE guys!! That's so fucking cool.

So Sofia doesn't really come in, but this week, probably because of that film that Sally Draper is in (totally met her too), she's been coming in a lot. Her co-producer told me a few days ago she liked my eye make up, which made me elated. One degree of eye make up separation from Sofia!!

Anyway, at work, we have this really sweet mexican lady cleaning made who for whatever reason (and i'm not gonna fight it) makes home-made guacamole for the whole office on Thursdays. And it is NOM.COM However, with her special touches she adds sour cream to the mix, so last week I was super sad I couldn't have any of it. But you know, save the cows or whatever it is I'm doing.

And wouldn't ya know it, it turns out Ms. Sofia Copolla doesn't eat dairy as well! Something we DISCUSSED in the kitchen. Guys, read that. I DISCUSSED with Sofia Copolla. And of course the whole time I'm thinking "WHY DID I FORGET MY CURLING IRON!! THIS IS NOT HOW I WANT TO PRESENT MYSELF. YOU SHOULD HAVE WORN THE NON-ANDROGYNOUS SWEATER" Because that's totally what Sofia was thinking the whole time right?

So, yeah. THAT happened, and THAT was cool/made my life. New Vegan BFF, Sofia Copolla. I would put an img of the two of us, but you know, rome wasn't built in a day, when we go to cafe gratitude together, I'll make sure to take a photo. hehe

Anyway, for lunch today I popped on over to Juicy Burger. I heard it was close to my work, but as it turns out it's literally right across the street and is DELICIOUS. Juicy Burger, you and I are to become good friends.

And before you start asking me all sorts of questions, I'm gonna tell you Exactly what delicious nom I got. Veggie Patty, BBQ suace, Ketchup, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, sauteed mushrooms, fries. VEGAN CENTRAL NOM.

What was funny, is when I first went vegetarian back in the day, I HATED veggie burgers. Maybe they were just prepared wrong, or maybe I was just a teenager and prone to despise anything easy, but everytime I went anywhere and people heard I was a vegetarian, they ALWAYS bought me a fucking bocca burger and it was ANNOYING. While I appreciate that they went out of their way, there are so many other options that don't have meat on it, come on party hosts, make a salad already!

But somewhere, somehow my pallet changed and I am in LOVE with good veggie burgers. Not the bocca kind, but the home made kind. A lot of place in LA have that too. SO DELICIOUS.

After I calmed myself down from Sofia Copolla mayhem, I was finally able to get down to some business for my films, get the standard Thursday night errands done. With just enough time for... DOWNTON ABBEY. (Yeah we're going here again)

Uhm, Episode 4?! Have you guys seen episode 4?! Have you even seen Downton Abbey?! That's it, I'm fed up with you. Quit reading this blog and watch this show!! There are more important things then my eating habits, and they are if Sybil and Branton will ever sacrifice their lifestyles and be together!! And Richard Carlyle? Fuck you dude, you're a prick. Mary, I swear this guys gonna rape you.

Now back to really important film work on my projects. aka watching Episode 5. I have to find out if WWI will ever end or will England fall victim to the huns? OH NO.

Over & Out.
