The Joy of Disneyland!

I came just to kiss the turtle at CA Adventures!

I finally got my ears!

We come to watch the ducks... really!

Of course have some beer!


Enjoy the Trees!

Crowds make me crazy! We stayed at Disneyland for about 10 minutes.

Me after the trying experience.

One more beer and some food at Downtown Disney.

Till next time.

Birthday Weekend Ignited

Starting Dec. 3rd. At Imonni.

The highlight of my day! I saw this in the window of the AIDS Assistance League the previous day. The store was closed to prepare for the Annual Glitz Event. I stood in line, waiting patiently, and was a nervous wreck... until it was in my possession.

Santa comes to town right around my birthday every year! Christmas trees too!

I was having fun sitting on my "looking post" taking pictures.

This was a flier for a music event... I was trying to make it look as if the tiger was feasting on my

favorite Un-Conventional ring(;

What better way to celebrate your birthday, by putting together a table and chairs!

Bathe Yumi in a Dirty Martini.

It is my Birthday!

I bought these at the Glitz Event at AIDS Asst. League! One for a me, one for Leslie.

Yes, I was wearing sequins before they were trendy(;

The next day, Dec.5th. My birthday creme brulee.

Later that evening, we met up with more friends at the local pub.

I always sit shot gun in the taxi. I love the stories taxi drivers tell!

To end my birthday weekend, my friend, Jani, had to show "Surprise Kitty."

Best video ever!

We watched it like 8 times in a row(;

The Get-Away

Climb trees in stillettos.

Be one with nature.

Drink Beer.

Wave at passerbys on huge cruiseships.

Drink more beer and take more photos.

Always move full speed ahead.

The fun of a little blue hat...

Little blue hat + white sangria = party(: This was my Thanksgiving Party outfit.

You can get your little hat at Imonni on 4th street!

For white sangria try Sauvignon Blanc, Thyme, Cardamom, and White Grapes. Yum!

Mashi felt sexy in it...

Un-Conventional's Inspirations

My favorite number on a pink elephant... awwwww!!! Love Love Love

Scary clown... pointing... not so much, but gives me ideas....

Hmmm...

Oooohhhh!!! New things stirring in my brain! Even though I have been in this building a million times.

This is my favorite tree ever! It has inspirited necklaces since the beginning. Wait till I put up the pictures of me in this tree(:

I love the textures in nature. Magical. The ocean and marine life have influenced many necklaces in my collections. "Troubled Waters," "Fish Story," and many others!

Awe! I just Love the Korean Friendship Bell... such a beautiful site!

This inspiration is the story of friendship and real animal emotion. I was visiting the Marine Mammal Care Center, one of the charities I donate to, and spoke with one of the volunteers. These two sea lions missed each other's company, after one had to be seperated to ensure it was eating.

I donate 15% of full priced merchandise so these cuties can be rehabilitated(:

My clothes always inspire my designs!

My closet even has an inspiration board(: Notice Christopher Kane's 1st Collection!

Can't wait to make the earrings I see in this millipede~

This grasshopper jumped from my screen door, to the wall, then back to my screen door... maybe I am it's inspiration as well?
