*:--☆--:*:--☆*Pride 2012*:--☆--:*:--☆--:*

Sunday I attended the Pride Parade in Chicago for the very first time and HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....I can`t even perfectly sum up what it was like. It was hot, sweaty  crowded as all hell, people were freaking the fuck out, passing out and all kinds of shit but once me, Tomo and Sam found a safe spot it was paradise. All the Queens were on point!!!

It was hard to get good pictures since I`m short and we weren`t the closest. I was so happy because I thought I got some good video footage but at some point my phone got knocked out of my hand and the good stuff got lost/corrupted.  My phone was on it`s last leg and I just ordered another one so I`m more pissed about losing memories of that day. (I seriously almost didn`t even bother to post Pride but) Here`s a few pictures I got:

 And some Tomo took with me in them:

HOOOOOOOOOO these two!!!! They really were sweet but when everyone was going their separate ways the one hugging Tomo picked me up twice and did this weird thing where he squeezed me up and down my back. He says I didn`t have tension in it at all and I can`t tell if he was legitimately trying to help my back, hug me or just straight up molest me but he was still a little sweetie pie!!! 

 I actually might go again and do better next year. 

2012年６月２２日 Here, There, Everywhere...I Really Dunno....

久しぶりですね。

私の日本語悪いです。

でも、べんきょうしなければならない。

よく出ました。

でも、ブログについて考えませんでした。

これは今月の写真あります。

(It`s been a long time hasn`t it?

 My Japanese is bad 

but I have to study.

 I`ve been going out often 

but don`t think about the blog. 

Here are this month`s photo`s.)

5/31-Tomo`s Birthday make and coord

6/11- Date make:

6/15-EOS New Adult Gray lenses

I needed a new pair of lenses badly but I`m broke so I could only get one while Honeycolor bumped down their prices.  Note I`m not wearing anything on my face. My skin has been pretty good this month. I don`t wear as much makeup when I don`t go out. All I do is steam it with a hot towel and moisturize really good day and night (I use Olay for SPF and Ponds).  

I don`t even wash it with products anymore unless I feel yucky from the summer heat, then I use Ponds cold cream for at least 30mins after steaming it at night. I have little baggies that I use a combination of bottled Vitamin E and Virgin Olive Oil on and I think it helps make them go down a bit and lessen my little wrinkles.  I`m not saying this works for everyone but what I am saying is try the less is more method then slowly add products and see what works because I think I damaged my face at times over-washing it.

6/17- Beach and Lake

Don`t know what I was waiting for to post on here but I think I`ll start keeping my blog posts short from now on, partly to practice my Japanese and also because I know my words boringly outnumber my poor picture taking skills. 

Blog Changes

Although I`ve been pretty lazy thus far with actual posting, I decided to work on the appearance of my blog. I was never that good with photoshop, illustrator or any technical junk so I hope it looks ok.

It kinda plays off my love of Summer being the season for Cowboy hats. Also my love for the brand tokidoki and one of my greatest artistic inspirations  Takashi Murakami. I love the lotus using his iconic smiling flower. Well I guess that`s it for now, I hope to update sooner with more interesting stuff.
