DENTAL GRAFT DIARIES: Day 0

The procedure went fine.  Not half as bad as I expected.  A little over an hour.  The doctor was great; the nurse kept poking me with the suction instruments and other contraptions on the outside.  I almost drowned in my own blood a couple of times.  Walked to Ralphs.  The pharmacist looked at me like I was Frankenstein.  Probably because I had blood pooled in the stent.  My mouth wouldn't close.  I couldn't understand myself what I was telling him. Didn't move much for the rest of the night.  Watched a couple of movies.  Applying enormous amounts of the goopiest lip moisturizer.  Could not eat even jello.  I must have been really in pain, because I felt nauseous.  Couldn't sleep all night, tried to lay on the back and keep head elevated.  People kept texting.

Ellen Show Tips

I went to the taping of Ellen Show on May 5th.  These is what I learned from the experience.

I love my Frappuccinos!

So I had to re-blog this infographic.

Yeah...  sometimes even I have days, when I have to be more titanium than my nose stud...
But that's ok, since most of the time I only have to be sharper than it is.  ;)

Color of 2014: Radiant Orchid

In case, you thought I forgot to look into this.
Also, in case you were wondering, I do pronounce "Pantone" like the word is French.  Because really - all fashion is from France.

LA Art Show 2014 (The Art Goes On)

There were quite a few fascinating works at the show.  One post definitely won't do it justice.  Just as photos do not do justice to meeting the art in person.

LA Art Show 2014

I love art – anything and everything.  I take every opportunity to broaden my horizons – museums, galleries, theater, ballet, opera, whatever.  Last weekend I went to the LA Art Show 2014.  It is been organized for 19 years and features historic, modern, and contemporary artists. It was huge and very exciting.  In one venue you were able to admire and/or purchase classical works of artists that lived in the 18^th century as well as artists that appear to reach into the future.  Even Volvo took this chance to showcase their vehicles. 

For the Love of Baking

As you may know, I love to bake.  Usually I do make a lot of goodies around holidays.  And I love to try new recipes.  Thus, I would like to thank my co-workers for being such great guinea pigs, as this year I also made quite a few sweet things.

Happy New Year!

Let's make is happier than the last.

Love from LA with all its beautifully amazing strangeness...
