reading nylon guys and glee

collagen@gmail.com — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 05:04:13 GMT

I will be scanning these in the future. I took these pics a few weeks ago and I have terrible lighting in my room.

I feel like Glee is getting less funny. I love the third episode, Acafellas so much and I think it's the funniest episode. Now, some parts are funny, some parts are okay and some parts are ridiculous. Sue is the best about Glee. I demand she gets more screen time.

I feel really excited about this show and I really want to yell out 'I love Glee!' But to be honest, the only reason I want to do that is because I want to be excited about a television show. It's been forever since there was a show I love, love, love. I don't love Glee that much but I wished I did like everyone else.

currently not studying

collagen@gmail.com — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:20:25 GMT

I really can't see what Eli done with his hair but I wish he would style his hair like he did in Mexico. This picture made me squee, I love Tricia Helfer and it's always nice to see your favorite celebrity with another favorite celebrity. I have the fansite half done but I think the world doesn't want me to work on it because I managed to lock myself out of my cpanel/ftp. I forgot my password, figured it out but Gertie reset it, changed it to something else because my old password was "too weak," then unable to login with new password. This means that I was able to type my password wrong twice. *headdesk*

School is completely taking over my time right now and I can't wait for this quarter to end. I love my class schedule but I have three weeks of midterms and two research papers due around the same time. I'm so afraid that I won't have enough time to study and write. I'm currently studying for Industrial/Organizational Psychology then after tomorrow I have to study Brain and Behavior Psychology. (Then Sociology Feminism and I/O Psychology again.) I don't know anything about the brain and it's much more complicated than Biology. I'm really hoping for a C for that class and Bs in my other classes.

There's a new outfit post over at cigarettesex. I wore that last Friday but eventually changed into something else for my noon classes because the dress is a bit see through without the sweater. I'm going to find a new slip so I won't have to worry about people possibly seeing my underwear. I wish I can do the see through look like on the runways though.

I'm loving this blazer at the moment, if only I can spend $100 right now.

collagen@gmail.com — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 06:22:47 GMT

This photo made me lol, because of Rpattz. I'm currently working on a Eli Roth fansite. It feels kind of weird because I kind of abandoned Emilie Online and anything websites related for a few years. I feel terrible about it but I recently put up Emilie Online. I also worked on cigarettesex and it's going to be my fashion/photo blog. I don't think many of you are interested in that plus I feel terrible if I ruin other people's friends page with large photos.

I have two midterms next week and I haven't done any of my readings yet. It's so hard for me to do my required reading. The only good thing about this quarter is that I'm sleeping normal people hours. I sleep around 12am and I woke up at 6:30am on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and I wake up at 9am on Tuesday and Thursday. It's weird to wake up that early because that's my two free days. I really like waking up early, feels like I accomplished more.

Quiz in Psych: Brain and Behavior tomorrow. I'm going to fail because I have no idea what's happening in class. The brain is way more complicated than biology.

pictures without my face are A+

collagen@gmail.com — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:39:25 GMT

I curled my hair for the first time by myself on Saturday. You wouldn't believe how proud I was. It didn't turn out the way I wanted it to be but I loved it. I always wanted curly/wavy hair but everyone keeps telling me to not perm/dye my hair because it's so nice. I think my hair is too boring so I think I'm going to try and curl it everyday.

I finally watched Inglourious Basterds! I think the movie is okay, not really super spectacular and Reservoir Dogs will forever be my favorite Tarantino film. I thought B.J Novak was very Ryan from The Office. He seemed kind of uninterested and the look on his face kind of makes me lol. Eli Roth and the bat and his screaming made me lol. Some of scenes were funny and I loved that.

I have a super huge crush on Eli Roth after reading his interview on ohnotheydidnt. I always liked him even though I never seen the films he directed, I'd only seen him when he appeared in Southland Tales and Death Proof. Actually, the only reason that I remembered him was because in the Hostel promos it said 'Quentin Tarantino presents' so I made a note to remember who he was. Haha. Anyway, I'm really excited by this celebrity crush because I hadn't had one in a really long time.

pretty people for oliver's people

collagen@gmail.com — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 17:10:04 GMT

I love Shirley Manson and I have a huge crush on Elijah Woods. He's just so cute and adorable, and I love his style. I bought a pair of Oliver's People glasses a few months ago. It was mainly for Zooey Deschanel and Matt Costa. I really wanted the Zooey sunglasses but it was pricey and so was my glasses. But it was worth it because I had my last pair of glasses for five years (I still use it but only when I'm at home) and I'm sure this pair will last me longer.

This is what I wore this morning to class. Loosing the cardigan and tights later for my noon classes. This is also my new room, I'll get better pictures of my apartment later.

h&m cardigan, the virgins tee, insight shorts, h&m tights, oliver's people glasses, (and report shoes and rings you can't see)
I've been noticing lately that I have dead eyes. This is terrible.

This is an hour later, had a nap and lunch.

good ramen last friday

collagen@gmail.com — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:14:38 GMT

I had really good ramen in Little Tokyo last Friday. If you're ever there go to Daikokuya and it's the best ramen ever. I wanted to shop Melrose that day but it was way too hot so we ended going to Target for yummy Icee (way cheaper than the theater) and then we watched District 9. The movie was pretty amazing. I had to close my eyes when the nails thing happened because I have a fear of that happening to me. Eek!

Tiffany and her creepy transition glasses and Clara with her ~asian peace sign.~

Iced Green Tea!

Anna Sui for Target, I don't particular love anything so I don't think I will buy anything unless it goes on sale.

Intense discussion at EB Games.

Wearing American Eagle button up, Insight shorts, Report flats, MbMJ sunglasses and Rebecca Minkoff purse.
I look like I have super beady Asian eyes in the second picture. Lol, it looks better in this one.

School started yesterday for me. It was okay except that it's really, really, hot. I was sweating so much and searching for any shades as I walked to campus. The walk from my apartment to campus is around twenty-twenty-five minutes. I hope that will help me lose some weight.

I also finally have internet at my apartment! I went without the internet for a day and half and it was terrible. We also didn't have cable so we couldn't watch television. I had to use super slow internet with my phone and it's not the same. Sometimes when people say that they don't have internet for a long period of time I keep thinking that that's impossible. How can anyone live without it?

Christopher Kane for Topshop

collagen@gmail.com — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 08:31:12 GMT

Croc Tee $90, Gem Bustcup Dress $260
The Croc Tee is affordable and fit somewhat into my small budget but I have my eyes on something else. Plus it's sold out online. I wonder if it's still available at the NY store.

Lol at me. Christian Kane does not equal Christopher Kane.

no more squinting while driving

collagen@gmail.com — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:02:10 GMT

I bought these last weekend and I'm very happy that I finally have sunglasses. I actually do have a pair from American Apparel but those are terrible while driving because there is a glare when you're looking down at the speedometer. It's also too big and I have to keep pushing it up. These new sunglasses are absolutely perfect and they're pretty cheap too! ($98 is consider cheap when you want a pair of Chanel or Marni's that retails for $400+)

There was a pair of sequined shorts I wanted for F21 but I waited to order it and now it's sold out in medium and large. I'm so upset with myself because I keep repeatedly doing the same thing - waiting. Never wait, just buy. That's what I'm going to do next time.

There are a few things I'm planning to buy, I just need to figure out the sizes, wait for the new collection and searching: Aldo shoes, Little Rooms rings, oversized/boyfriend blazer, sequined shorts (on a hunt now!) and plain loose tees. I don't know if I have the money for everything but I'm working on it.

everyone needs a pair of ears

collagen@gmail.com — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 23:14:44 GMT

I am so diying Maison Michel's bunny ears and probably the Mickey Mouse ears as well. I'm planning to be Minnie Mouse for Halloween because I have the dress and yellow shoes for it. But I'm not sure if I'm actually doing anything for Halloween...

Tonight is Fashion's Night Out! There are a few events here in Los Angeles but thinking about driving down there makes me lazy. Plus I don't think any of my friends are interested.

failing, winning and new shoes

collagen@gmail.com — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 06:59:41 GMT

h&m tank, aa ruche bra, fossil belt, silence & noise shorts, kelsi dagger flats
little rooms rings, f21 necklace, crystal ring, uo wolf necklace

I'm so terrible in photos, I don't know how to stand, pose, smile, etc. I admire everyone that can be so natural, so pretty and cute while I just completely fail. I told myself I'm going to keep trying and I will. I just need to stop being so awkward and use that ten seconds wisely instead of fidgeting and whatever it is I do.

My friend's sister won second place for the ETTV Top Idol. It was pretty sweet. I knew she wouldn't win first place but second place is pretty good. I didn't like the girl that won first place too much, I felt that when she sang it was like she was yelling at me. I was rooting for the gay hipster boy to win but sadly he didn't, not even third place. It was a fun day, filled with some unnecessary drama such as a teenager driving her friends when she's not legal and letting her friend drive without a license. The police ended up impounding her car. But anyway, the owner of the car was very sweet and I love what she wore.

collagen@gmail.com — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 08:47:41 GMT

Bustier Tee Dress by Natalie Encarnita via Nasty Gal
I fell in love with this top when I saw Sophia of Nasty Gal wearing it. I was really hoping it will be around $80 but it's $132 and that's a bit pricey for me. It looks like something I can diy but I'm not that good at sewing and I feel that it might turn into a disaster. But I might try it if I find a similar top.

It's Time to Let Go

collagen@gmail.com — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:06:35 GMT

I'm in the process of donating, recycling and relocating my stuff. I have a lot of stuff and I talked to suesand a while ago and she made me realized that I'm a pack rat. I really hate my room right now and I want to change everything and make it simple. Sounds so easy but it's hard to let some things go.

trapped bat wings

collagen@gmail.com — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 08:12:42 GMT

f21 sweater, old navy shorts, h&m pumps, rebecca minkoff clutch, little rooms rings
I wore this on a Friday to attend the taping of ETTV Top Idol. It's almost like American Idol except it's on a Chinese television station. My friend's sister is a contestant and she made it to the top eight. It was really fun and we held up neon signs and cheered. I'm going again this Wednesday and I'm going to be quite nervous for her.

The bat wing sweater is from Forever 21. I saw it for $30 or $40 and then it was on sale for $14 but when I went up to the register it was $4. So yay to sweet deals. I had to belt it because it didn't look that good on me loose. But belting it made me unable to lift up my arms very high and I had to also keep pulling down the sweater. It made me look kind of frumpy too and whatever to my face in that picture.

I bought Jeffrey Campbell 99 Zip Wedge which has a similar resemblance to Acne Atacoma but not as awesome. I really hope the shoes will fit. *crosses fingers* Wedges are a way to go to start learning to walk in heels. I had been trying but it's still difficult. These shoes will arrive in November because they're backordered. I can't wait!

SDCC 2009!!!

collagen@gmail.com — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 08:06:51 GMT

A month later and here it is. There isn't much to say except that everyone should watch the Lost panel. It was so funny and hilarious and awesome and I can't believe it's the last panel. :(

I have a small story to share, nothing to do with celebrities but everything to do with Twilight. Wednesday night is preview night which means it's for people who bought four- day passes. So there's a lot less people than all the other days. Tiff and I were at the Summit Entertainment booth and I promised some my friends that I would get Twilight posters for them. We made it towards the front but there was a lot of people so we were all pressed up against one another. There was a lady, who was quite large in front of me. After she got her poster she needed to leave but since there was not much room, it was difficult. Difficult as in she got through by rubbing her body against mine. OMG! I can smell the sweat on her and I felt so violated. After that I never went back to the Summit booth and I didn't even bother to stand in line, get a voucher and spin a wheel in order to get a bigger version of the New Moon poster. Gah, it was awful.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Right: Where the Wild Things Are. I tried to hide behind the pole but there were twigs there.

This guy was signing Iron Man 2 posters. I don't know who he is...

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

When Johnny Depp came out I heard the loudest scream of my life. Much louder than Twilight.

TRON 2.0

ASTRO BOY & SORORITY ROW

TWILIGHT

The guy with the fake fangs, apparently he comes every year wearing the same costume, then he ask/say some stupid stuff. At the Lost panel when he got to the mic, Team Darlton told him that they knew he would come and made him a t-shirt. It had Dharma logo and it said Bob Stencil.

PSYCH

DEXTER

STARGATE UNIVERSE

FOURTH ROW! For the following two panels as well!

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA/CAPRICA

EJO kept promoting BSG: The Plan and telling us to buy it on blu ray. So buy it on blu ray!

THE BIG BANG THEORY

LOST

BEST PANEL EVER!

FRINGE

TRUE BLOOD

WEEDS

TRUE BLOOD SIGNING

V & HUMAN TARGET SIGNING

EJO & ADAM BALDWIN

They were signing autographs that cost money.

MILA KUNIS

Bigger pictures here and find more pictures of Anna Paquin at APO.

I didn't buy much except two Tara Mcpherson prints and had her sign her new art book. I wanted the Amanda Visell/Frank Kozik/Kidrobot labbit but I missed it because I thought the toys were released during signing time (like before) but they released it in the morning. I kept within my $400 budget, hotels, gas, food, everything so I'm pretty happy about that.

Lastly, bringing my dslr was kind of useless because I have the basic lens. Everyone around me had small digital camera with 12x zoom. Lol.

collagen@gmail.com — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 07:16:29 GMT

Can anyone be so sweet and make me a layout for Emilie Online? I just need something really simple, a banner would be nice. Thank you.

I tried creating something but failed miserably. I don't think I can ever design again.

horrible self-timer outfit post

collagen@gmail.com — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 07:31:55 GMT

nordstrom rack top, target skirt, h&m pumps, little rooms rings, rebecca minkoff bag
I went shopping for a bit with my friend. She wanted foundation from Clinque and she didn't really want to shop even though I kind wanted to go to F21 so I can find a pair of sequined shorts. After I saw Anna Friel with it, I must, must own a pair.

Here is my rings from Little Rooms. I'm wearing the entry lock double finger ring and the stork scissors ring. I got many compliments so buy yourself some really sweet jewelry. There's a sale right now!

I bought two Sharpies today! I'm so excited about them even though I'm not sure what I will use them for. I didn't have any Sharpies for a long time and I love how there's so many color. I got peach and turquoise. <3

Alexis Bledel is on the cover to WWD Accessories and she's so gorgeous. I love everything she's wearing and I love how I can't afford any of it. I know she has pretty much the same expression in each picture but I don't care. I love, love her.

This is super nerdy but I made it into the gallery at Chictopia! This is my second time and I kind of disappeared from Chictopia for a while because I'm so awkward in photos and I feel like I wear something ugly everyday. So I went through my account and deleted a few of my posts.

Anyway, I haven't worked on Comic Con photos or Emilie Online. I'm a horrible, horrible person. My goal is to have them done next week. Tiffany haven't sent me her pictures yet and she didn't give me back my digital camera either. Meh, hopefully she'll give them to me this week.

collagen@gmail.com — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 22:04:50 GMT

I hung out with Jaq and Sally yesterday. I haven't seen them since April and it's very strange because we live fairly close to one another. I think next week we might bake something together at my house and possibly flea market at the Rose Bowl this Sunday.

We went to eat at Truly, a vegan restaurant and I had the soy chicken sandwich. It was super delicious. After that we went to The Grove. We browsed at a few places, went to Forever 21 and chose really ugly clothing for each other and it was fun but we couldn't take pictures. Then we watched 500 Days of Summer, the movie was cute and kind of sad but very realistic. After that we had yogurt at Yogurtland. I was really happy then because I was thinking of yogurt throughout the movie. I'm thinking of yogurt right now.

I know I'm really late with the Comic-Con photos. I just get lazy thinking about going through all the pictures but I'm going to try and have it up by the end of this week. This might possibly be a lie.

Internetless :(

collagen@gmail.com — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:01:21 GMT

I'm at Comic-Con! I don't have much Internet so please contact me through Twitter (blowqueen) or text me!

I'm currently waiting for Dexter. Three minutes until it starts.

I'm really exhuasted and I can't wait to pass out when I go back to the hotel.

The Plan

collagen@gmail.com — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 21:00:32 GMT

I finally finished planning for Comic Con. Yay! It's not a lot because of conflicting times or I'm not that interested enough to stand in line for it or I haven't watched the show yet like Dollhouse, Fringe, Torchwood, etc. I'm kind of afraid of standing in lines because every line is going to be so long and thinking about it makes me tired. I also want to spend less so there's is only one toy that I'm planning to get. But I'll probably end up buying a few some things.

I still can't decide if I should go to the True Blood signing or the True Blood panel. The signing is at 2:30-3:30pm and the panel is at 5:15-6:15pm. I think it would be impossible to go to both because the panel right before True Blood is Fringe so I'm going to assume that people that's inside the ballroom will stay for True Blood. The only way this can work is that somehow I get my poster signed by around 3pm and I can get in line for the panel. But that would mean I have to stand in line really early for the signing but I will be in line for the VisellxKozikxKidrobot toy release at 12pm and the toy release at 1pm so I don't know. This sucks, I guess I'll wait until Saturday and see how it is.

Thursday
11:00-12:30pm - Disney 3D: Disney's A Christmas Carol, Alice in Wonderland and Tron
1:45-2:45pm - Summit: Astro Boy, Soroity Row, and Twilight/New Moon
5:00-6:00pm - Dexter (maybe)
9:30-12am - Trick 'r Treat panel and screening

Signings
TBA Tara Mcpherson

Friday
11:45-12:45pm - Caprica/Battlestar Galactica
1:00-2:00pm - The Big Bang Theory

Signings
2:00-3:00pm - kozyndan at Munky King
3:30-5:00pm - Luke Chueth at Munky King

Saturday
11:00-12:00pm - Lost
5:15-6:15pm - True Blood
8:00-9:00pm - Weeds

Signings
2:30-3:30pm - True Blood
TBA - Luke Chueth at Hi Fructose

Toy Release
1pm - Wood Labbit by Frank Kozik and Amanda Visell at Kidrobot

I'm going to try really hard get better swag this year. Last year really sucked because I was never around when they were giving away the good stuff. I'll try my best to get some of you something as well. :)

pepper can swim!

collagen@gmail.com — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:25:23 GMT

Pepper went swimming for the first time on Sunday. She hated it so much. My brother carried her in there and she was so scared. When he let go of her, she frantically swam to the side and jumped out. We did that three times, she was so miserable and she started sneezing a lot after that so I had to wipe her. She's such a chicken, she's so afraid of everything but she pretends she's not by barking and showing her teeth.

Currently planning out the panels for Comic Con and planning my outfits.

my room is messy

collagen@gmail.com — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 07:24:59 GMT

Marc Jacobs 'Duffy' in black/silver
My mom bought this a few weeks ago and we're going to share. I remember seeing this bag and other variations of it and thought it was ridiculous. But when my mom picked it up and I tried it on my arms I was in love. It is a very unique bag and I love how large the bag is. It was on sale for $900 and the retail price was around $2,400. So it's a really good deal. The Marc Jacobs Kristina bag I bought was even cheaper that day ($324+tax vs. $494+tax). So I bought that one, switched the tags and returned the more expensive one. Win! I want to thank everyone who bought something from me, especially stephanine and lesreveurs. I made around $400 so far and I have so much more to sell. :)

I'm not suppose to buy anything because Comic Con is coming up and I don't have a job but... I bought a few things: F21 floral dress, Little Rooms stork scissors ring and white vneck from H&M, Tara McPherson 'Lost Constellations' and Are You There Vodka? It's me, Chelsea by Chelsea ~~Lately~~ Handler. This should be it until August and I have a big wishlist.

Dot playsuit, $94

Floral one shoulder playsuit, $94

DIY Miu Miu inspired skirt, $47. (I haven't order one yet)

Alexander Wang 'Coco Duffle Bag', $850

Rebecca Minkoff 'Rocker' in papaya, plum, black?, $330

Treesje 'Turner Satchel' in grey, $595

I'm in the process of cleaning my room and things are not going away! I just want to start in a brand new room so I don't have to deal with everything. If only it was that easy.

I just found out that paypal charges you a fee if you send an invoice or if someone sends you money and marks it as a goods or services. It doesn't matter if the money is from a bank account or credit card. This sucks so much and apparently this started early this month. I hate paypal/ebay so much.

collagen@gmail.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:45:55 GMT

I bought this bag last weekend and I need to come up with $500 before August. I put up a lot of stuff up on sale. I sold one of my Rebecca Minkoff bag and finally got rid of my bpal and others perfume. I made around $220 so far so yayyy! I don't think many of you will be interested but take a look.

BUY MY STUFF, PLEASE!

lauren conrad! unexplainable love.

collagen@gmail.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:10:10 GMT

I went to Lauren Conrad's book signing at The Grove! I stood in line for two hours. I didn't think there would be that many people but there were. I met two die hard Laguna Beach/The Hills fans and they were really nice. Too bad we did not exchange facebook info with each other. Lauren was really pretty in person. Barnes & Noble were rushing us so we can only get the book signed but I said hi to her. I think I forgot to say thank you. But anyway, we were not suppose to get a posed photo with her but she smiled for everyone. <3!

I read the first chapter and the book is very young author. It kind of makes me lol.

Wearing Chanel satin blue nail polish and Little Rooms double finger ring. <3!

time to show off the legs

collagen@gmail.com — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 07:55:11 GMT

I can't decide between purchasing a diy Miu Miu inspired skirt or bluebell skirt that is similar to what Lauren wore. I want both but I'm low on funds. I am planning to sell some of my stuff soon and if I get enough I think I will get both. Tell me which one you like best.

The diy Miu Miu inspired skirt is also available in black. I can't decide which I like best. I should probably get the white because I have too much black. I want some color in my life. The Miu Miu dress is from Spring 08 RTW and oh how I love the whole collection. Bloomers with skirts. <3

I love the the flair of this bluebell skirt and the color is very pretty. The skirt reminded me of Lauren's dress, she wore it to Heidi/Spencer's wedding. It's so simple and so gorgeous.

Since I have this strange love for Lauren Conrad I decided to go to her book signing at The Grove in LA for her book, L.A. Candy on Tuesday. I'm excited and also for a bit of ~~window~~ shopping I will do that day.
