"1983" Prom King & Queen

2010 Prom King & Queen, again

These two dreamy dreamers are Oh So Good at dressing up to the nines.
They're also really good at surprises and dancing, and just, in general,
being the most cute couple out there.
J'approve et je t'aime!

The Ramen Girl

J'approve of pretty much every movie involving food. And love. And movies with scenes of Brittany Murphy dancing by herself in a beautiful apartment. This is a perfect movie to cuddle up to watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

floral party on the deck at five

On Wednesday night, Chelsea and I made a deal to do a photoshoot at five o'clock the following afternoon, and sure enough, I was waiting at 4:59 with coffee on Santa Rita's porch. Chel-bell wore this outfit that day, and was the sun ever shining! She looks like a flower.


Our philosophy is sunshine. And coffee.

Art Teacher Chic

Juana Alicia Montoya, a dancer, muralist, and a teacher at Berkeley City College, has amazing style. As her student, I get to experience it at least twice a week in my painting class. I feel honored to be given the chance to learn from this astounding woman, who prior to becoming a teacher was active in Cesar Chavez's united farmworker's movement in the late sixties and seventies, and has been painting large-scale murals for most of her adult life. She rocks.

Janelle Monae!

She is too cute. This 5 foot tall androgynous goddess fills lovely Santa Rita with music, and jealousy at her sick dance moves. One day, I'll have shoes made for me just like Janelle. One day.
