Transportation
From the cute to the creepy, with whistle stops at it-goes-faster-when-you-paint-it-like-this and dude-you-were-so-high. Scooter paint.
SFW, but pure sexy nonetheless. Just put it on the screen. Everything will be okay. More views of the Holden Efijy if you prefer something less feral. There are some rather lush interior shots.
From the category of: British TV we’ve never seen. Heartbeat, is a soapy looking 60’s nostalgia show. The bike ridden by local policeman is a Francis Barnett Cruiser. Nah, I’d never heard of it either. It’s pretty cool.
Food
I love marshmallows. I love caffeine. I probably should not have any of these.
I want my lunch to be this cool. And cute. And clever.
Art, Images, and Design

Graphite on paper at one of L.A.‘s coolest galleries. The Illusion of Control Tower. The full set from her exhibit at La Luz de Jesus. Click on each item for a good look.

alrighty then, off you go and don’t forget your lunch boxes.
