As edward scissor hands, day 1

I decided to go to one of the Maystar (promoter for all these cool events) events for fri nite. The place was at Vin de Syrah, a hidden bar/lounge on the corner of 5th and E st. they dont even hav a real sign. it was like a poster pointing down underneath Meltingpot. when you go down stairs you see a door in front but that one is locked... u look to ur left and u see the whole wall covered in bush, with a little door knob hidden. that was the entrance, very clever. The inside is decorated into Alice in Wonderland theme, big chairs, books, green floors,etc. I actually went here like 3 days ago since it had good reviews and i wanted to see how it is during "normal days". the drinks were pretty good and had a good atmosphere, something u dont feel compared to a local bar. anywayz, the event really reminded me of Pop Noir, club event i used to go to when they had it at staitc lounge. They had a short fashion show with great music. The DJs were amazing like alwayz :) and people there loved my edward outfit :D now for round 2!

how to get sho hair

so i have people asking me every once in awhile how i style my hair or they have trouble doing their hair at home. im gonna write down the basic steps of how i do my hair and advices on styling.

how i do mine:
1. since i have a little bit natural wave, after i completely blow dry it i flat iron the parts i want down (bangs, sides, back) if u hav straight hair already, just blow dry it and no flat iron. i recommend shaping the hair in this process so itll make it easier to style later. for example pull down the parts u want it to b down and try to make the roots stand up where u want volume.

2. take ur wax and spread it evenly on ur hands. put the wax from roots to ends where u want the movement. i only put very little on the parts i where down but if u want more textures looks on those parts too u can put more. dont try to make it look perfect when u begin, i usually just put it everywhere first and it looks like a bomb exploaded on my head. this is the key to put wax evenly on the entire head.

3. after u giv the exploaded look, then you shape it. put down some parts and u can make textures by running ur finger through (kind of pulling it between ur fingers) if u hav coarse hair and u hav trouble making the spikes put alittle bit more wax on ur finger tip and put alittle bit more on the ends.

4. when ur done shapping it and if u think it looks good, use a light, but still holds hair spray. i usually go with the ones that saids something like super hard or firm. u wanna stay away from the cheap hair sprays since they tend to buildup(cant wash all of it off) or it turns too greasy looking. go with the professional products, u get wut u pay for. you want to spray all over, including the roots evenly. u dont hav to put too much, just a quick swish around the head should b good. by using hair spray, the style should hold longer compare to just using wax. alot of people seems to have that problem and this is what most of my clients ask me. so this is the solution to making the style last.

advice to people that hav the opposite hair texture as me (straight and flat hair):

if u want just textures, the same process i go through should b good enough. if its not working u might want to change around the products u use. same wax and spray but a different brand. it makes a big difference.

if u want maximum volume, i would skip the wax part and just use hair spray. start by pulling ur hair up on the parts u want volume and spray ur roots and make it stand up. if its still not working, back comb it alittle bit and that should do the job. after u look like a lion, u can spray ur finger tips and make the ends of your hair alittle bit textured.

the picture i posted up is the product i use and also my favorite. i like all the products from the spice series but i alwayz end up using these the most. u can purchase them at my salon :] and i hope this helped. feel free to message me if you have any questions

relocating my front license plate

even dou i hate having front license plate on (it looks ugly doesnt it?is it just me?it looks so out of place :[ ) after getting a ticket when i drove up to LA and getting pulled over 3times in SD (lucky i got away with just a warning) i finally decided to put my license plate back on sigh...
i drove back to my parents place and picked up all the stuff that i took off (plate, mount, bolts etc.) and i realized i lost a few bolts and i couldnt get it to hold it in place arggg

so i went to check online how to "relocate" them, it looks different from other cars so mind as well do that. people usually buy the kit but i feel stupid paying extra for it so i roamed around the web reading some forums and i finally found a solution that would do the same thing for under 5$ lol. by using tie straps u can pretty much put ur plate newhere (not just the part where theres holes to put ur plate on) its pretty ghetto and im worried it might come off while driving but it seems pretty stable :]

got a new chrome hearts bracelet!

it matches my necklace, isnt it cool? yep spending money on things that r unnecessary again..  it sucks how it gets in the way when im working dou. i hav to take it off when i have to shampoo someone..

Went to the strip club for the first time

so i called my friends up that also never been to a strip club. ended up with 3 of my girlfriends and i was the only guy.. and i guess that sent out a message to them that we're just there for fun and dont realli care to tip lol the strippers would go around asking for tip after a short show and some of them wouldnt even bother asking us, would just go around. which is a good thing cuz i hate when ppl ask for tips argh.

i got a lap dance from this blonde chick and it was 20$ for a song. it was hella short (was that even 2mins?) i felt ripped off but it was a good experience!

my little brother

came to get his haircut today~ do we look alike? some people say we look exactly the same, like people that dont know that we're brothers actually tells kenji (my brother) that they saw someone just like him at a salon lol. its such a small world, we're all connected somehow.

Pasta for dinner today~

I bought some stuff at nijiya market and i looked at my recipe and noticed they didnt charge me for the garlic (that i had in with the onions lol), good bcuz they were expensive. i didnt knoe garlics r so expensive when they r so small...when i was about to b done with making the pasta, i realized i hav forgotten to put in the bacons, fml. vegetarian spaghetti tonite! when everything was going good and as i sat down with my pasta and wine in my hand, i see my can of coke i had left last nite and its swarmed with ants. ANT INVASION PART 3. nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

First comic i bought in my life!

I never really was into american comics, was alwayz into the japanese manga. my friend thats in NY right now just published his first book and I ordered one from my near by comic store (first printing was sold out, congrats!) i finally got it few days ago and its pretty cool. the artwork isnt confusing like the other comics i flipped through before and its easy to follow. if you guys could support my friend too, thatll b awesome! comic title: Skullkickers
