Paradise Cove

Drove from the East side through Malibu Canyon to Paradise Cove so we could dip our toes in the sand.

Yea, beach stuff!

How does the pianist get up there?

Shrimp, spicy calamari, and beef tacos! I know how when you’re by the sea, you feel like the fish taco is the way to go but the beef one beat out all the others here. Marinated in sweet barbecue sauce. The rest of the food was meh-er than meh, but we really came here for the beach not brunch.

We’re living a real life Corona commercial

Rough life around these parts

Was wearing a tee and jeans to the beach. Bad call. Turned the tee into a makeshift toga.

Destinee, what a dream girl.

Paint dabbled belt

Most Californian Canadian I know

Yes, we came all the way out here just to sit in the sun. Total beach bums, such bliss!
I guess LA ain’t so bad.

Wish you were here.

BFFs at BBR

Found these on my blackberry. One of my last (really very intoxicated) nights in Manhattan.
Jumped and hopped from Le Bain to Boom Boom Room with my son and a baby Gaga.

I woke up in a Tribeca loft, snuggled next to an iPad and six pillows.
There was an invite to the Hamptons, but I had a plane to catch.
Oh New York, New York.

Fat pigs at Fat Spoon

If you thought I did much else other than work and eat, you’d be wrong.

Three little piggies went to Little Tokyo after reading The Minty’s post on Fat Spoon during it’s opening week.

Specialising in Japanese style curry, pasta, and salad.

Grilled Vegetable Salad

Chilli oil, pickled onions, pickled daikon

Spaghetti Carbonara. I love Japanese style pastas because they pack a ton of flavour in a much lighter form in comparison to regular Italian fare. I don’t know what the change in recipe is, but it feels less heavy, hearty, and carbicide-y. Just the right amount of creamy cheesiness.

I ordered a side of the sauteed mushrooms. They were pretty bland and dry so I dumped them into my pasta dish. Only disappointing item, though. Rest of the food was fab.

Seafood curry. Love the roasty sweetness to the sauce.
Now for the REAL reason why we came…

Ice cream sundae with LOTTE KOALA COOKIES!!! How cute is this? AND they put strawberry pocky in it, too.
Too cute. To. Die.

P.S. I’m going to start sending little love letters to y’all. Who knows what e-surprises I have in store for ya. Maybe some secrets. Mostly the things I’m secretly eating. Maybe something even better. If you want to hear from me,

L’Avenue du Plateau

L’Avenue down the street from our Montreal apartment had a serious line outside every single day for brunch. So naturally, we had to join the sheep herd and try it for ourselves.

Record label menus.

Reunited! M&Ms, Marissa and Maria.

Another favourite ‘M’ of mine, Mimosa.

This is what I ordered. The mushroom thing. I can’t remember what’s it’s actually called on the menu because my memory in French isn’t as good as it is in regular human.

Everything was in huge portions! And my god. The fruit skewers… so good! The taters, not so good. Bit too heavily greased and seasoned. Eat those last if you have the room.

L’Arc-en-ciel. Smoked salmon benny.

Wisconsin, Paris, and DC in the house! Kelly, Christophe, and Reyhan.

The Mediterranean. I ordered this the next time – usually comes with feta. Eggs, tomato, spinach, and cheese. So fresh ‘n so good. Line up is well worth it!

“I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches,
only writes to,
keeps little photographs of.”

– Charles Bukowski

I have all these little photos
of men
darling men
beautiful men.
Men I love for more reasons than not.
I wanted to start a series, but I just can’t decide what to call it.
Help?

Anyway, this is Sean.
And I love him.

Tell-all Tuesdays:
Please Don’t askfor

You ask, I tell. Selection of questions posted on Tuesdays.

these look great! did you use film or digital for the i love toronto set?

Film – 35mm Olympus Mju II. A present my mother gave to me when I was 14.

Are you ever going to sing us a song again? I remember you did a lovely version of “I’ll never break your heart” – any plans to record another, perhaps for Christmas?

Maybe Christmas, maybe sooner. I don’t know how I feel about singing online anymore

What is your preferred way to spend a (non-working) day – after sleeping in of course?

Ideally, brunch with friends and a lot of laughing. A bit of shopping followed by a nap. Dinner before seeing a band. Drinking, dancing, and lots of making out.

What is your attitude towards sex? Do you experiment?

1. Try anything once 2. With a trustworthy and willing partner. 3. Enjoy yourself.

Are you happy?

I generally like to answer this question in jest with “I don’t have the time to think about whether I’m happy!”. But if I’m going to be honest, then yea, probably more so than I have been in a while. 

Not to say that my life is all double rainbows and bacon wrapped dates but it’s certainly much more interesting and productive.

drugs, or hugs? Don’t lie princess…

Hugs!

Got a question for me? Ask away here.

Trail of broken hearts

“Oh! Her. I love her.”
“Yes, see? That was the problem. So did I.”

I heard ’em say
they say I’m the dangerous kind
of girl. The kind that could break your heart.
But y’see the trail of broken hearts
that I leave behind,
well, they’re mostly mine.

You’re gonna make me lonesome when I go.
