tokyo, its in our blood

ive been back from tokyo for nearly a week and still cant get a normal nights sleep. i hear it takes 2 weeks. went for my birthday and stayed 10 days. last time it was a posh hotel in ginza, this time it was a mod hotel in shinjuku. every time im there, the time goes so fast and i feel like it was all a dream. crepes in harajuku, sensoji temple, kittens in roppongi, shopping in shibuya, cell phones on the train, stairs in stilettos, purikura in ikebukuro, handstands in odaiba, meetings in ichigaya, friends in kaijigaya, birthday in sangenjaya, cigarettes everywhere.

......when the neon colors all blew up your silhouette

 

 

 

more to come.. im so tired.. zzz

my first attempt at a video with my new canon. these 2 have my heart completely.

lets go to bed

photographer Hakan Celebi and designer Pinar Eris
not only are they 2 major influences in my life, i consider myself extremely lucky to be able to work with them and even better, call them dear friends.

J'en perds la raison, Dans la mer du Japon

blood will have blood

QIO, one of my favorite stores in los angeles, turns 2! amir and julia joined me to their anniversary party where the dj was spinning scary 90s songs. like really bad. but i adore hide, miho, and aiko and always have a great time with my second family.

with the couple minutes of light left, bot and i climbed our way to the top of a creepy little forest and took a few shots

and one he snapped of me. i loved this hill but we nearly destroyed ourselves getting down.

crawl back in

i spent this halloween at social watching my dear friend amirs new band, dead by sunrise. i REALLY wanted to wear my Max costume but it was so hot i knew id probably die. so I just threw on some visual kei style ruffles haha.
my canon liked me a lot that night. <3 and i got some amazing shots.
















oh.. and my Max costume!!!!!

the nu romantics

the last couple nights have been a bit rough and im learning losing someone close will never get easier. its just something we have to go through and deal with. ive now lost 3 people to car accidents and i dont think i can handle anymore. i have had a certain album on repeat for the last almost 3 months and today its officially released. not only are they very dear friends, but ive been a fan of since my 4 month stay in Chicago nearly 6 years ago. i can somehow relate to every single song on this record. and when that happens, i think its quite amazing and rare. its good to know you're never alone. and there are so many others like you in the world. its been especially comforting over the last 2 days. ive been pushing this for quite a while so it wont hurt to say it once more.... congrats to one of my favorite group of artists, dear friends, and best dressed, for an epic album that has been uplifting like a close friend, while you've been away. it is truly flawless and i have been awaiting this revolution. <3
