"Beetlejuice" at the Trash Film Orgy

Friday night was the final Trash Film Orgy at the Crest Theater. It's been held there for 14 years and due to "changes" that are coming to K Street, the TFO had to find a new home. Thankfully, it got sent off with a bang and tons of people showed up to watch "Beetlejuice."

Kyle and I met up with a bunch of friends and were happy to be a part of the festival's final showing.

The line to get into the theater stretched down K Street. It was so packed!

I've never seen the lobby of the Crest packed this full. So many people supporting TFO's final show.

Aloha Mighty Tiki!

This was a skit with the Bloody Bunny, a TFO staple character, and a Sleazy Lawyer. The parody skit was called "Phantom of the Crest" and of course it spoofed "Phantom of the Opera." 

Here is the Phantom killing the Sleazy Lawyer. It's funny because the lawyer represents the reason why TFO is being booted from the Crest. According to him, the consortium he represents wants to transform K Street into a bunch of bro-douche bars and urban Walmarts. 

It was such a fun night and I spent it in the company of good friends. Goodbye TFO! Hopefully you'll find a new venue soon!

Until next time…

Outfit of the Day - Black and White Graphics

I got back from Hawaii on Monday and I can't stress how thankful I am to be home in California. I'm not a tropical girl at heart. Although visiting an island can be fun, I much prefer the coastline of California over the humid clime of Hawaii. I've got a ton of posts coming up about all the cool things I did with my mom and sister as soon as I sort through my photos and get some film developed.

Anyways, today's post is nothing special - just an outfit update with a bit of makeup stuff as well. Being in Hawaii for the last 9 days meant skipping makeup and wearing lots of bathing suits and sandals, so I was thrilled to be back in my trusty New Rock boots once more…although they did come to the beach with me a few days!

It was a slouchy graphic tee and striped garter belt kind of day. I'm wearing a black malachite crystal necklace my sister gave me in Hawaii, although it's not clearly visible in the picture. I've also mastered the thrashed curled pigtails with my extensions and I was able to tease my hair once more since being out of the Hawaiian humidity.

I've not worn any makeup other than a bit of mascara for over a week, so I was actually happy to paint on my brows and apply some falsies! I went with a boring single-winged liquid liner, even though I generally do two wings just to be a bit out of the box makeup-wise. I also put on some light and natural-looking falsies just because I missed being dolled up!

Stay tuned for lots of posts on Hawaii! Nine days is a lot of time to accumulate photos and stories. And you better believe I've got some stories to share. Hint - they involve multiple car crashes.

Until next time!

Outfit of the Day - I've Got More Issues Than Vogue

Graphic muscle tank - Love Culture; Chiffon jacket - thrifted; Garter belt - eBay; Boots - New Rock

One of my favorite chain stores to shop at is closing! Noooo! Love Culture is closing its stores for now at least, and have been running a "store closing" sale, so I made one last trip to the mall a few days ago and picked up some tops for about $10 each. One is the graphic muscle tank I sported today that reads: "MORE ISSUES THAN VOGUE."

I got my tape in extensions out the other day and I'm back to my beloved clip-ins. Less maintenance and they match my hair color perfectly instead of being off by a tone. BONUS: my bangs are long enough to not be swept back in a headband all the time! Granted, I'm still wearing a headband because I'm used to it and it's sort of in my comfort zone at the moment, but soon enough my bangs will be long enough to frame my face, which is my goal.

Kyle's in Arizona visiting his sister who is having a baby tonight! I'll be an aunt and he'll be an uncle. So I'm left to my own devices this week. We'll see what kind of antics I get up to. I'm guessing it's fun times with girl friends and practicing my cooking.

Here'a s few more pictures just because I liked what came of my shoot today.

A better view of my vertical striped garter skirt. It's one of met favorites and I own a whole drawer full.

I was being snarky. I'd much rather flip you off than flash a peace sign…hahaha

Until next time!
