Rune Boutique at Royal/T

The holidays has been going well and this post is quite late but it's better late than never! I've been either eating, sleeping, inebriated, or at work this past couple weeks. It's been really fun that I haven't been able to come up with a decent post.

The Rune Boutique World Debut was held in Royal T on December 9, 2011.  I headed to Royal T after work, but I lagged so much I didn't make it to the VIP private party. Oh well.  (Thanks to Bubble Punch for the VIP pass!)

The event was huge and a long line of people were standing outside Royal T. This event featured the art of Rune Naito, a  fashion show featuring the 6% Doki Doki girls (also other models, including our friend Haylee!)  and a performance by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

Since it was crazy packed inside, I had to view most of the show through my camera's LCD. HOW FUN. I also exercised my arms that night.  Who needs to lift weights when you have a dslr held up by your arm the whole time?

See you guys there!

I went to the mall today because my friend Pia wanted to go to Victoria's Secret wherein she had received an email about a private store event. When we got there, the event was not even private. Seriously, I thought this was exclusive! Instead, they just let anyone in without checking who put in an RSVP or not. They were having a raffle pretty much every 15 minutes until the last prize was a duffel bag filled with $500 worth of VS goodies. I honestly just wanted to win something, anything. I never win in any sweepstakes and I've been signing myself up random stuff online and never win a single thing. Such is my luck. 

I did end up making an unnecessary purchase of the VS Party Perfect Makeup Kit. I think it will come handy when I travel. I couldn't pass it up since I had a $10 off coupon. They also gave away a little VS ornament with a V-string inside for every purchase made. They were also giving water bottles that were VS customized to the customers. Cute, but it will just end up in the trash. (^_^)

After waiting (and seriously hoping) for the end of the raffle, me and Pia rushed to Milk and Honey Cafe to have a late dinner and dessert. Milk and Honey Cafe made my night. The server was extra nice to us even when we came in 5 minutes before closing. You check out the special brick toast we got on my food blog.

What I Got In The Mail Today

Thanksgiving holiday made me extremely lazy. I had gotten a lot of rest over the weekend  and met up with some friends. I also went to see Crystal Castles' DJ set at One Eyed Gypsy, a bar in downtown LA. Let's just say I don't even remember a single thing Crystal Castles played that night but it was a really fun and interesting night!

Black Friday came and left. I found myself at the mall but I wasn't up for going crazy with the crowd. I find a lot of my deals online anyways, like what I got in the mail today.

Look what I got in the mail today!
The Dolica ST-500 68" Tripod I got from Amazon! It comes with a 67" monopod and camera bag too but those will be shipped to me when they get back stock. I got it only for a mere $27.

And it's taller than me!!!

Sweet Streets: SPANK! X Chubby Bunny

I'm so grateful to have the opportunity in being in an event showcasing a lot of the things I am fond of. I had sent in my interest to model just as something for fun. I didn't really expect anything but lo' and behold, I got to join 9 other girls to be modeling for  SPANK! and Chubby Bunny. I'd like to say Tavuchi is really awesome and I'd really like to meet her again. Michelle (Chubby Bunny) is also great and I think she'll be really successful with all the hard work she's doing.

We started Saturday early at the WWA Gallery. I'm quite embarrassed cause I arrived 10 minutes late, and everyone else was already there (Sorry everyone!). They gave us our props and I was paired with Selina. All 5 pairs had different roles and we were set out to be "Bubble Girls". We got a little oriented on what to do and how the show was going to be.

Soon after, we got settled in and the makeup and hair began. Our hair stylists were Kaytea and Kazu Miyagi of Anarchy and there were 3 makeup artists, one of which was Mynxii. 

We pretty much hung around the gallery, ate snacks and talked the whole time until our turn came up. You can check out the short behind the scenes video I put up in a previous post here.

Trivia: The event was organized by SWEET STREETS. I think we fully lived up to the name-- the models were literally living off on a sugar the whole day. I kid you not. I barely ate anything except for candy, chips, gummy bears, and chocolate that whole day.


The photo on the left was a bunch of Hello Kitty candy Tavuchi gave us. This was early on in the day. When it started getting dark, that was all gone.

Our before shot:

After we had all gotten ready, we got to kill some more time and got to see & shop at the pop-up shop before anyone else. Check out Yume's shoes in the photo. I'm actually curious to try that out. DIY platform shoes ftw.

Here are all the models hanging out upstairs before the show. We couldn't go down, not until the fashion show started. I was getting edgy and I was craving for some beer they had downstairs. Luckily, Tavuchi came up and she gladly shared her beer to me and everyone else.

More after the jump!
