..new project..

Even though my friend kristin has the fun costume this year of being Max from where the wild things are....im secretly jealous and wish i could of stole her idea.. (i mean who wouldn't want to run around like a 7yr old in a furry jumpsuit with a crown?? add some booze and your set!) but i have to focus on promoting a new project im working on.. So me and my lil sidekick mia will be strolling the mall as geishas while passing out business cards... (hopefully i'll be able to walk properly in my geta)

why you ask?

me and my ninja roommate urple created a lil asian doggie line...

inu inu

(yes i know dressing your dogs like humans is a bit ridiculous and borderline neurotic.. but the truth is... people spend the money for this! i.e. my mother)

I got inspired when I took a post graduation trip to China & Japan.. where i loved/blown away by all the cute fabrics prints that japan had to offer and the insane amounts of of people who clothed their dogs..this instantly reminded me of my wacky mother her dresses her two tibetian terriers daily to compensate her sadness that her two kids are no longer living at home. After pitching the idea to the mum and buying enough fabric to create a fire hazard in my living room there was no turning back..

here are some examples of what we are offering:

doggie kimono

bento squeak toys

after many many months of searching for reliable pattern makers & manufacturers, and while loosing my mind a few times... we are almost complete and ready to go..

check out our website to see where inu inu will be available at!!

..i know its sad..

i know its sad... and i completely hate the fact that i get all giddy like every 15 yr. old who kisses their team edward poster every night before they float up to cloud 9... but i can't help it... this series does something to me.... blahhh

trailer that still gives me chills every time i see it... im pretty pathetic...

still contemplating going on opening night.. but terrified to show my face in line with some teeny boppers... hmm might have to just use some self discipline and lots

and lots of patience.

seriously hate this..

..i vant you..

while up on one of my buying trips... the lil roomie and i made a must needed stop to the new opening ceremony in LA.... there i fell in love..

the lil roomie urple.. introduced me the designer brand:

proenza schouler,

when she saw me grasping/semi-drooling at this PS1 bag contemplating throwing down 2k for this baby.. thank god reality set in and i realized i definitely did not have 2k to throw down in the first place...

ps1 blk leather crossover bag

of course after i came home i did what any other fashionista girl would do.... check what other yummy things these babies have for me to drool over.. and.... surf ebay to see if there was something less back breaking for my budget... (that didn't work out well for me)

leather bag/clutch... 2.7K yikes!

urple would gobble this up in a sec

for the inner hooker in me..

but...on the bright side.. not only do these boyz create amazing bags, but they create an apparal line (fall was a bit too heavy for the hawaii weather i live in.. poop), hot mama hooker shoes, and lastly these dudes are gooooodd lookin... yumm

what you think..??

can i have a job please?? to be able to work with such amazing designers who's merchandise is full of sophisticated dark hues combined with a twist of mimimal/hardcore details..

3 words..

dream.come.true

Dancing Between Heaven & Hell

if you live in HI... come check out our lil musical...

(fyi: i ain't singin or dancin... just throwing my normal tantrums..)

..its that time again..

so ive been doing a really crap job on keeping up with this blog..

life's a tad bit busy with a mixture of im just fuckin lazy..

but its that time again...

so i'll be dragging my ass back to CA (not like i mind or anything) to visit my korean/mexican friends down at the LA garment district and then making my way down to SD for the ASR trade-show.... (gonna allow my self to get hammered this year..)

i would much rather be in NYC for fashion week.. or the MAGIC trade show in vegas going on NOW!!... but hey, we all can't get what we want right... FML.. guess i'll just have to wait for my boss to realize thats where all the cool kids go... booo

at least i'll be accompanied with my little ninja side kick urple...

thank the lord for that... hopefully i'll get some good eats & shopping in...

cross thy fingers..

..do u see what I see?..

opened my eyes this morning and this is what greeted me...

(if you can't see it.. then you have no imagination... its a heart & the letter F)

haven't really figured out/made up the meaning of it..

love frank? love father? love fish? fuck love?

no clue

but it made me smile...

i love nice surprises in the a.m. it just starts your day off on the right foot..

..OKD Baby..

been busy with all the little projects i have been taking on.. some how i still think im super woman and that all things are possible.. (resulting in me gulping coffee as if its water and chewing on aleve as if it was gum... errrr) but i guess we will see...

but for now.. here's a fun ass article on the recent project i got to work on (act/costume)

cross your fingers and start praying so we can premier at sundance film festival baby!!

One Kine Day – written and directed by Chuck Mitsui - is smoothly rolling along through its final week of filming all on Oahu’s Windward side. The production wraps Friday, Aug. 14…The $1-million indie first created by Mitsui some nine years ago is on schedule, on budget, has brought back to Hawaii some local actors – Julia Nickson and Janel Parrish – to co star in the production while also giving some major breaks to local hopefuls like Nalu Boersma, Sean Reilly, Auriel Rickaud, Ryan Greer, and Naomi Cooper…

Perhaps even more memorable are the smiles and aloha among the crew working on the project – some 50 a day and 99 percent local – who represent some of the most experienced crew talent that Hawaii offers…When you consider that crew salaries for indies are considerably lower than for bigger budget television shows and motion pictures, the ohana attitude on One Kine Day is even more remarkable…Even execs pitched in on duties normally filled by crew. Producer Torry Tukuafuearlier in the week coordinated EPK interviews even holding the boom during an interview with co star Julia Nickson…

“It’s been like a family working on here,” a crew member told Reel Hawaii. “Everyone pitches in to do what needs to be done without being asked….Another veteran crew member said the local workers believe in the story. “It’s a great story, a real one about Hawaii, and told by a local filmmaker. Look around here and you see professional crew at the top of their game in Hawaii. We all came on board because we believe in this and like being really proud of making a film like this”…

Mitsui, an intense director offset by a beguiling smile and affavle personality, said “I wanted to make a film about a side of Hawaii that visitors never see. That’s why we’re shooting all of it on Windward Oahu and in neighborhoods like Waimanalo” and Hawaiian homelands.
