Roomate's Going Away Party At Foundation Room With Epic DJ Alpyne

Me and Scottish roomate Barry
Sooo awesome, we saw this fireplace and had to take a corny pic with it!!

Not sure if we look like a lame couple or brother and sister.

Me on my phone laughing at The Van Wildest.

Texting? No way!!

Oh shit, it's a pic with me and my phone LOL!!

Cuteness.

Me and the epic DJ Alpyne and Van Wildest Himself!

Me and the roomate that moved out Dan

Me and the man. The $100 was for me for last night.

Me and my love and fellow roomie Lois

Blame it on the a-a-a-alcohol ;)

Of course Adam got me in the Game Of Life.

Ended the night @ Blueberry Hill, breakfast at 4am on the reg.

It was Dan (fellow roommate's) last night in Vegas, so we went to Mandalay Bay's gorgeous Foundation Room for his going away party. Check out Adam's blog for tons more pics too! It's a lovely, cozy lounge and we had a great time drinking bottles, and parting to the fat beats of the best DJ in Vegas, and probably earth, DJ Alpyne. Who is also a fellow Oregonian! I am begging him to play in Portland next week when I moved back on the 1st, so stay posted for that!! Anywho, super fun night out with the roomies, going to miss Vegas... but there's still 7 days left, the party isn't over yet ;)

The man himself Mr. Eddie Kim hard at work as always.

Me 'hard' at work ;)

Tons of people showed up for the event, who wouldn't want to drive a race car on a pro made race track?!

While I was in the O.C. I got to go to the infamous Roscoe's for chicken and biscuits-it was bomb, duh.

Dez and his roomate Travis took me to watch the UFC fight on Main St in Hunnington Beach

Awesome bar, and great fight!

After we broke down the event, the whole racing family went out to a wonderful meal

Dez and his Snuggie. Legit, it was a real Snuggie.

Trav sleeping. Why are boys sleeping so cute?!

I met Eddie and Dez a couple weeks ago when they were out in Vegas for a car show. Eddie asked me to come out this weekend to help with the Mini event, I had so much fun with them in Vegas, I of course said yes! But it wasn't until I was writting this blog post that i realized how prolific Eddie and the shit she's involved with are. Like read this blurb:

"The shop (Dynamic) has since grown into one of the largest distributing and tuning facilities in the country. The list of former Dynamic employees, cohorts, accomplices, and all-around lackeys reads like a virtual who's who of today's industry leaders. Peep the list: Cosworth's Eric Hsu; A'PEXi USA founder, Toshi Hayama; DSport magazine's Michael Ferrara and Robert Choo; Import Tuner magazine's founder, Ed Eng; Prelude guru, Aries Dionisio; Omni Power's Steve "Omni" Rothenbuehler; Design Craft Fab's Gary Castillo; Sakata Motorsports' Naoto Negishi; and, of course, at least one guy from Honda Tuning mag-the list goes on. Dynamic has been busy tuning some of the top racing teams' vehicles, conducting testing for magazine geeks, and even hosting a big-wig industry executive every now and then for the day. And after 17 years, there's no sign of any of that stopping. You might say that Dynamic is the tuning world's crystal ball. Want a glimpse as to what record might be broken next or who tomorrow's movers and shakers might be? Just look inside the shop." -Honda Tuning Magazine

What an honor to be hanging with people doing such big things! You can also check out their blog Gruppe S Engineering. Stay posted, because this isn't the last with Eddie and Dynamic Autosports!! :)

Getting Booshie In Vegas

me in a wig

The dress she was kind enough to let me keep!
Seriously, I'm just a nerd who carries a briefcase full of random shit, wheres a tutu, glasses and walks around in the middle of the day with a drink. Meh.
Ginger and I spent all week collecting random shit to put in my party briefcase
Contents include: loto tix, champagne, squirt gun, dirty magazine, shot glasses, and so, SO much more :D

Ginger and I in the VIP @ LAX wearing Booshie

My good friend, and epic designer Ginger of Booshie Design came out to Vegas this week to visit me and do a photo shoot :D And I'm so glad she did, we had a lot of fun! All the above outfits are her designs, and are unedited pics from super fun photog Jerry (TwoHalfs Photography). We did the shoot last night, and he already send me these proofs!! Ginger did the make up and styling, I did the hair. It was one of the harder shoots I've done because it was soooo cold, 48 degrees :O and I was wearing summer dresses. Yeah, cold. It reminded me of this shoot with Bo in the snow. Anyways, so it's hard to think about posing, expression etc when all you can think is any minute you might die of hypothermia :) But it's really fun to see pictures with Vegas in the background, and I'm so happy my first shoot here was with Ginger! AND she gave me the above black dress to keep, score!! Well, we wrapped the shoot last night at about 10:30pm, then from the shoot Ginger and I went to LAX, an awesome club at the Luxor, and somehow made it into a hidden VIP bar and drank PB & J martinis (that were pretty much and orgasm in a cup!) It was a fun shoot, and an awesome night, the perfect ending to a great week with my girl Ginger :) Stay posted for the edited versions of these!

My BFF And Amazing DC Designer Booshie Design Gets Written Up For Being Hot

Awesome photo collage made by the designer herself!!

I met Ginger, phenomenal east coast designer of Booshie Design, at the tanning salon I use to work at in DC. We've been BFF's since day one and I have been fortunate enough to be involved in, and watch Booshie Designs grow exponentially over the past year shooting with amazing photographers like Tony Veloz, Bo Zhang and Visceral Photography. Above are some shots from the last shoot we did together in an amazing mansion in DC before I left. I added the fun little sayings. You know you love them. See some of the tons of other work we've done together here in these blog posts. Recently she was written up on the hot DC blog MurmurDC.com in this amazing article. Ginger is in Vegas this week and I am lucky enough to get to shoot with her out here in my new town, so stay posted for pics from our shoot this week!!

Hell Yes I Met Joe Cada.

Above: Joe with the $8.5 mil in cash Below: Joe with me. Pretty much the same thing.

Of course I was hanging out with the biggest celebrity in Vegas, $8.5 million dollar World Series of Poker winner Joe Cada. Duh. He's friends with roomie Adam Van Wildest (read his epic blog post about attending the event here) We were dropping bottles in the VIP he rented out one night, then playing beer pong with him the next.Too bad his 19 year old girlfriend let everyone back to his $5k a night suite at the Rio but me because she was worried he might like me better. Smart girl ;) Meeting celebs in Vegas on the reg, stay posted for the next one!

This Song Goes Out To Joe Cada. Because It's True.

Powerisms

“What did I tell you, put something nice on. You look like a busted Daytona stripper.”

“You named your daughter after fucking Titanic? Haha, what’s this one’s name…Shrek?…guess not”

“I’m not going to stop yelling because that would mean, I lost the fight!”

Interviewer: “So Kenny, how do you like playing in New York?” Kenny: “You mean Jew York…its fucking great.”


AND MY FAVORITE:

"Listen here you beautiful bitch, i'm about to fuck you up with some truth."
