Millions: A web series

Millions: A web series

An interesting webisode put together by some fine city folks... Talking about how 6 friends and their pact. It's about our dreams and how money can fuel or destroy them. Interesting video. 28 days to raise the funds! if you want to get involved... donate your money, your time, your services.

MILLIONS is the story of a crew of Asian-Canadian twenty-somethings in the picturesque suburban neighborhood of Adlard. Brandon (the dreamer) and his lifelong friends, Deron (the clown), Mary (the tomboy), Charlie (the cynic), Jay (the playboy), and Eddie (the brain), work mediocre 9 to 5 jobs, and waste away their nights bumming the streets aimlessly. The emptiness of their lives makes them apathetic, but not enough to do anything about it.


Until a tragedy hits the group that sparks Brandon on a quest.

In high school, the group made a pact to become millionaires by the age of 30. It was a childish dream that faded with time. But after recent events, Brandon refuses to let it go any longer. He persuades his friends to join him in becoming the millionaires they once promised each other they'd be - and prove to each other that dreams aren't something so easily forgotten.

What I Learned from Suzanne Boyd

What I Learned from Suzanne Boyd

Be yourself. Every single version you please.  I knew I loved and admired her the first time I came across her scribbly signoff on the very first issue of Suede I picked up. Suzanne is the kind of person who has incredible foresight and speaks to the creative soul like myself. She is a powerhouse and she reminds me to reinvent myself constantly. Do whatever you please but do it well and with quality and style.

Love it Light

Love it Light

reminding me of my two longest friends, Doc & Chelle, & moi

Mum came to visit from England this past week (hence my active blogging absentee'ism) & told me about this Diet Coke campaign called 'Love It Light'... and how much one of the characters looks like me... I giggled, when I looked further into it, each of the characters remind me of other ladies that I know.

The cutie characters Eleanor, Bernadette & Irene are diva-stated and sophisticated ladies working at a fashion magazine; Diet Coke brings fashion & style to an always familiar brand... in a whole new way! I thought it was sooo cute and had to share with all of you! xo

Ms. Kai ;)

His Hers

His Hers

I know last week I complained about how he wanted to be in A.B.E when I was wearing all black too... But now I think it's kinda cute. Maybe I secretly love the things I  pretend I don't like.  What do you think? Couples who dress alike? Yay or nay?

lmao

yeeehhh

Whoever has been on the merchandising team at LV for the past 36 months have really done a great job. First the helium balloons, then the stitching with gold threads and now the eggs. Bravo!

If you want to go to school for this FIDM has a great Visual Communications program.

Flying to New York

Flying to New York

It's only fitting that I have Jay-Z Black Album on the iPod while flying to NYC... Ladies and Gents I just want to let you know the future is here. I am flying on Virgin right now and blogging to you from midair!  GoGo internet will be the best $14 you ever spent... Because I can actually fly and be online at the same time!

Virgin America are truly purveyors to have the foresight to know about the future. When I arrived to check in, I noticed a difference right away. The booth looks modern, awesome and was blasting Drake. They also had the local weather of each destination available on the flight status board. The check in was intuitive and fast. This is the future my friends.

When I seated, the 'Red Interactive Environment' has everything from snacks, video games, movies and music videos and online shopping. Each seat is equipped with a remote control/game console and you can txt/chat seat to seat. Every single seat as a power outlet and USB to charge your iPad, smartphones and LAPTOP.  This is the future.  The girls beside me bought a lemonade and chocolate bar and swiped her CC right here on the bottom of the screen. The girl is watching Hung, surfing online and learning lines for her audition in NYC... I really am truly happy and thrilled right now.  OMG!  Why would you every fly with anyone else????

I'm Yvonne and I fly Virgin :)

What I Learned from Amber Rose

What I Learned from Amber Rose

Don't ever apologize for how fly you are. Don't ever water down yourself to fit in. Don't ever change yourself when you can change the circumstance.  Fall is going to be an exciting time for me. I'll let you know more details in a few days.

Fragrance: Smell Stoned

Fragrance: Smell Stoned

Solange Azagury-Partridge - Stoned Eau de Parfum - 100 mlItem 15958
$285.00 

The scent is a heady mix of a sweet candy fused with the mystery of patchouli. A fresh top note of Italian bergamot combines with classic rose. Jasmine absolute fuses with labdanum, benzoin, tree moss and heliotrope. Finally, musk and vanilla bourbon create an addictive animal attraction.

Should I?

Audrey Magazine (Los Angeles)

Audrey Magazine (Los Angeles)

I went out last night with my girl Arali to check out the Audrey Magazine fashion event. We missed the fashion show and the giftbags. ha ha ha.. But it was still a great time!

Top tier tickets were $100 a pop and the event was sponsored by an open bar by Ketel One and Stella Artois.  Not too shabby right?

I wish I knew why they were so excited to have me there.. Then I realized that Audrey is actually a huge Korean fashion magazine for Asian women. Um. how fitting, here I am reading Suede, YRB, Bossip and YBF ha ha.

Rock em Edelmans

Designers and Fashionistas 

The event was teeming with well dressed Asian girls with long flowy black hair and expensive purses. There were also a slew of pretty boyfriends who carried their gf's purse and superficial convo with ease.

Watercolor dresses!

  I saw my favorite twins! Miss Rebecca Stylewithbenefits and Miss Melanie WreckedStellar

and I met my new buddy Kyle... He is a Cancer. *wink*

Trend Fire Engine Red Hair

Trend Fire Engine Red Hair

I did this when I was in high school with Fudge hair color from Australia. I liked it for a few days but when it washed out, it wasn't as fun.

 What do you think? Would you do red?

If you want to try this at home. Bleach the hell out of your hair so it gets to about a yellow blonde - then use toner and take out all the yellow undertones so it becomes ash. Then put the red to work. There WILL be a mess in the bathroom. FYI ... and all your towels will be ruined for the next 3 weeks.

This won't work with your typical Loreal or box hair dyes.. You need to pull out the specialty dyes. Fudge Paint box and Manic Panic are the ones I recommend. You can get them at Beauty Supply and specialty stores.  Good luck!

Zoom! with Dr Habermeyer

Zoom! with Dr Habermeyer

I went to my first dental visit in LA yesterday with Dr Habermeyer in Torrance...!  It was fun :)

See how my teeth are dull and not shiny?

He has been creating beautiful smiles in Torrance for the last 30 years and he really made me feel extremely comfortable!

When I was young, I had the whole 9 yards, braces, retainer, headgear you name it. I use and electric toothbrush and I love Tom's Natural toothpaste.  Despite all my efforts and flossing, I still get cavities, still need root canals, still need to get my wisdom teeth out. :( sad.

But check out the results of my Zoom! Whitening!  I did feel sensitive afterward but 2 Advils after I'm fine today!

See how white they are now!

Happy Birthday Taj!

Happy Birthday Taj!

I could not ask for a better friend to cheer me up when I am down... I could not ask for a more inspirational and wise mentor in my life...

Your presence brings joy to everyone around you and on this day we celebrate you... the Black Lion!
