Life or something like it :)

So life is going well. i can't believe it is almost christmas. it seems like a month ago i had just left new york and was getting settled in, and now it's Christmas and Jer and i are getting ready to go visit my friends and family in southern california. i am really excited for this trip, i haven't been home in almost three years, and that just feels sooo crazy to me. so if you live in LA Torrance, or Orange County, I wanna try and see you!!!!

everything else is going great. i am still working hard for american apparel, i now have three stores (my two in Berkeley, and i am taking care of the outlet store in Gilroy) It has been really exciting because the company is going through alot of changes, and growth, so to be a huge part of it is extremely satisfying.

i am also doing costumes for Jeremy's school. Which is like a dream, it's so fun to make outfits with items that have patterns! i really do enjoy costuming, it's always been something that i have pursued, and been successful at, but have never been able to fully pursue. i have styled photo shoots for several years now, but getting to create an entire show is a total dream. Right now i am preparing for Romeo and Juliet (a stylized and modern take) and a concert version of Once on this Island. Both shows have been so fun, and the kids are awesome to work with, they are so grateful for everything i do, that it makes it extremely enjoyable. Once on this Island has been an awesome experience for me, i actually did the show my junior year of high school, which was quite possibly the best year of my educational career. So for me to get to share this experience with these kids has been so great.

the apartment is also coming along nicely. We bought a chair for the living room, and i sit in it, and jer sits on the floor and i play with his hair while we watch tv (it's basically my favorite part of the day.) we have picked out some other things we would like to get, and it's all coming together slowly but surely. it's amazing, because the empty apartment felt so daunting when we first moved here, and to see it slowly fill up a little at a time, and really become a home has been an awesome experience. our office is also coming together slowly but surely. i know that now it feels like we have so much room but in a few years i won't be able to think how i lived in such a small space because we will have filled it and already outgrown it, but for now i am just enjoying filling it. :)

Everybody wants to "if you seek Amy"

So Britt has done it again, her new song "if you seek Amy" has been leaked, and it's already causing a scene. if you read the lyrics it makes no sense at all. but if you listen even closer if you seek amy sounds like "F. U. C. K. me"

god i love her

the lyrics....


Lalalalala

Oh baby baby
Have you seen Amy tonight?
Is she in the bathroom
Is she smokin’ up outside
Oh

Oh baby baby
Does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that Imma buy her
Do you know just what she likes
Oh

Oh Oh
Tell me have you seen her
Because I’m so
Oh
I can’t get her off of my brain

I just want to go to the party she gonna go
Can somebody take me home
Ha ha he ha ha ho

Love me hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy
Love me hate me
But can’t you see what I see
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy

Lalalalalala

Amy told me that she’s gonna meet me up
I don’t know where or when and now they’re closing up the club
Oh

I’ve seen her want to drive before she knows my face
But it’s hard to see with all the people standing in the way
Oh

Oh oh
Tell me have you seen her
Because I’m so
Oh
I can’t get her off of my brain

I just want to go to the party she’s gonna go
Can somebody take me home
Ha ha he ha ha ho

Love me hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy
Love me hate me
But can’t you see what I see
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy

Oh
So what you want about me
Oh
But can’t you see what I see
Oh
So what you want about me

So tell me if you’ve seen her
Cause I have been here forever
Oh baby baby
If You Seek Amy tonight
Oh
Oh baby baby
We’ll do whatever you like
Oh baby baby baby
Oh baby baby baby

Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala

Love me hate me
So what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy
Love me hate me
But can’t you seek what I see
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy
Love me hate me so what you want about me (yeah)
Love me hate me
But can’t you see what I see
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy

Oh
So what you want about me
Oh
But can’t you see what I see
Oh So what you want about me

All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy

LIFE is a pretty crafty fellow....

right now i have about 800 things i want to say, and about another 1000 things i am thinking would be nice to say but i know i shouldn't.

ugh some things just are not fair. if my life insists on having Gossip Girl esque twists, then i insist on having a fantastic upper east side wardrobe.

take that LIFE

Oh Katy!

now i want to start this off by saying loud and clear, I LOVE KATY PERRY!!!!!

that being said where did she find this ridonkulous dress???? no seriously who sells that dress, part of me needs it in my life.



your eyes are not deceiving you Ms. Perry is in fact wearing a merry go round dress. Now i usually teeter on the edge of admiration and guilt when i look at Katy's vintage romper airplane covered concotions of joy, but this is either completely brilliant, or completely insane.... i have no idea which one, but this dress only confirms that i NEED to become besties with Katy. Anyone who can wear that and sing at the same time is my favorite new person.

BRAVO Katy Perry! you win this round!

xo Kirk

guess who's back... back again

BRITNEY'S BACK!!!!! that is right haters and nay-sayers Lil Miss Britney Spears is on the come back trail (and this time i actually believe it.) Womanizer has been a massive hit, she isn't flashing her Brit-bits in public anymore, and she lost all the weight and is looking slim and trim. i know it's hard to think we would ever have are pop tart back on the road to pop royalty where she belongs, i mean lets be honest, gimme more was a disaster, and add more jokes to the repatoir then it did actually solve anything. But from what i can tell "Circus" is gonna be huge, and well worth the wait. I've heard small bits and pieces of several of the songs, and i am buying what she's selling. I was afraid when i heard it was being called "Circus" that it was going to be a watered down dance pop version of Christina's Back to Basics (which also had a circus theme) and while it's like comparing apples and oranges, all she needed was to do something that had already been done. But the sound is a new fresh sound, and while the title track compares Brits life to a circus with her as the ever in control ring leader the circus vibe stops there. this is Britney 150% personal I'm glad she isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, just her image. And reinvent her image she did! I've personal never really been a fan of Britney's album art, it always seems the same, after sex hair, high glossed, and a bare midriff. But after seeing some shots from the shoot, I am truly impressed. not a midriff in sight, Britney is dressed in head to toe in what seems to be a cross between circus couture, and a porcelain doll. she is wearing baby doll dresses and an assortment of vintage hats, and costume jewelry. Judge for yourself, but I'd say Britney is back

update

Hello!

so it has been way to long since i have written in this blog and i am so sorry that, it took me this long to get settled and back in the swing of things. As many of you know Jer and i took an amazing journey across the country, and we no longer live in new york, we live in sunny northern california. The change and the adjusting has been pretty intense, and life is very different, but I am so excited.

If three years ago you had asked me what i thought i would be doing, and where my life would take me, after getting on the plane to go to school in new york, i probably would have given you ALOT of answers. but i would have been wrong. I never believed in my wildest dreams that in three short years, i would find my soul mate, and settle down with the most wonderful guy in the world, in the perfect apartment with the best puppy ever (that's right i have a puppy, and yes he's cuter then yours!)

life in california has been great, i work alot, but i don't mind. I love my job, working for amercian apparel has been a wonderful experience and journey. Jer and i go to the dog park on week ends and watch Harpo play with other dogs. i am still writing and am working on a few projects, trying to keep motivated, and trying to find new ways to always be able to live the dream i guess.

Jer is teaching at the Delta Academy of the Performing Arts, and i think it is quite possibly the most amazing thing ever. i am so proud of him and so glad that he is getting to be a part of this awesome school, and that i am getting to help him. Everyday he tells me stories about the kids, and i just love it, they are getting such an amazing education and an amazng gift, i wonder if they realize how lucky they are.

well thats all i got as far as an update for now, i am going to be better about updating thank you to everyone who reads this, i miss all of new york, and wish i could bring them to california so we could go to brunch every weekend

A legend, and an inspiration

Witchblade has been one of my favorite comics since i was little. the art soared off the page, and spoke to me. the artist behind the masterpiece was Michael Turner. Michael Turner has worked with Marvel and DC, as well as with the indie comic company Top Cow. he started Aspen Comics. Michael Turner lost his battle with cancer last week. He will be remembered as one of the most up and coming artists in the comic industry. He will be remembered as one of the true creative minds, and i am sad that we couldn't see everything he had to offer. i find it slightly gratifying that the same week that we lost a truely influential artist, his origninal creation was announced that it would be making it's way on to the silver screen. In 2009, Witchblade will become a full fledged silver screen adaptation.

rest in peace Michael.
