Ice Cream Time
Today Jenny, Daniel and I went to the Ice Cream Festival at Independence Park, which ended up being a dud, so we went to Elizabeth Creamery instead - which was much better.
I love the little chotsky stuff that comes out for Halloween - like this fang bag from Target.
Here is a close up of it. It's really just one of those cheap recyclable bags, but I think its A-DOR-A-BLE.

Tetsunori Kawana - Passages: Green Wall
Last week Jenny and I went to the Mint Museum to see bamboo artist Tetsunori Kawana's installation Passages: Green Wall.
Kawana allowed community volunteers to help him create this 20 x 20 x 82 foot passageway constructed of straight and split Madake bamboo.
The artist hopes that visitors will leave the installation with a sense of well-being and connectedness to the natural cycle of life.
Jenny wears a dress from H&M and chucks
Hat from J. Crew, lace tank from H&M, Long-sleeve asymmetrical top from ASOS, Linen shorts and shoes from Forever 21, back pack from a leather shop in Beijing.

Welcome to my home
Take a sneak peek into my house. It is quite small (cramped actually), but I try to make it feel "homey" by surrounding myself with things I love.
Art and decorations from friends, family, artist and places I love...oh and a few movies.
This apartment is even too small for a sofa :(
Utilizing every inch of space I have. Here is one of my make shift jewelry area in the hallway outside my bathroom.
This is another jewelry area. I made the jewelry holder by covering a cork board with some vintage fabric and painting the frame. I added small hooks to the bottom so I could hang necklaces from it.
Another one of my jewelry stations.
My glasses case I found in a dumpster (score!)
A few of my shoes (the rest are either boxed up or in a cluttery mess on the floor).
My collection of adorable embroidered shoes from China.
My current apartment is so small that the majority of my clothes are still in storage i.e. in boxes piled up to the ceiling in my room and kitchen. I hate not being able to have all my clothes and shoes readily available, but we have to make due right?
The new apartment search begins in two weeks!

I was not able to take any photos of the McGlohon Theater where we watched The Addams Family, but it was beautiful - stained glass windows and Byzantine dome. Originally it was a church but was restored and reopened in 1980 as a showplace for live performances.

B-52
Took my big sissy to see the B-52's this past Saturday.
The show was as expected. Full of old embarassing white folks "waxing the roof" (the white people version of raising the roof).
The weather was great, the show was fun and Kate Pierson was so cute!
I just wish they would have dressed more fun.
I even got this awesome Day of the Dead shirt.
