✿ Happy Valentine's, S.A.D., S.P.A.T., Whatever Day. I enjoyed it with a nice cold bottle of Blue Moon. ;DbWeekend recap of sorts:
✿ Friday was dinner with Da Posse at Home. We don't nearly do this enough, but then again when we do, it makes it all that much more awesome. We got free drinks from the bartender cuz he was apparently new and needed the practice. Hey, it was free...and thankfully, were decently made. Afterwards, we went to visit Steph at Ye Rustic Inn a block away. Had more drinks, which led toan impromptu love life counseling session for one of us, which then led to guy bashing and then I think we all just ended up feeling bitter, lol.
✿ Saturday was LACMA day with

sakurae and random_karen for their European fashion exhibit. We had a yummy late lunch at Johnny Rocket's at Farmer's Market before we headed over, where we met up with Ali. The exhibit itself was quite fascinating. It's really amazing how much work went into making these fabrics and garments for the well off. I had no idea they embroidered designs onto the bolt of fabric first and thus leaving essentially the pattern pieces for the garment. For some reason, I thought they embroidered the pieces when they were already cut out or when they were sewn together already, but before the lining. That and a few other pieces just blew my mind! I was trying to fathom HOW they made it. I feel like I have no right to complain when I make stuff because these people were like PRO.Oh, and we cracked a joke at how a lot of the materials looked like what we'd use for upholstery now and amused a nearby guard. XD
I also LOVED the paper wigs on the mannequins! I wanted to play with them~
( My fave and some interesting things. )
Then something horrible happened: When we were almost done gawking at the exhibit, I dropped my camera. The lens barrel got bent and the metal plate fell off. B'awwwww. ;___________;
( RIP Camera-chan. )
✿ Sunday was early celebration for my mom's birthday that's this Wednesday. We went to this restaurant that my parents like, but I don't. Proof: Their mapo tofu was a disappointment.
✿ Had a couple weird dreams the past month.
First one: ( was interesting... )
Steph and I went to Sanrio's Small Gift LA on one of the last days it was here. It was held at the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport (I had no idea the city had its own airport, but apparently it's one for smaller planes). The whole thing was pretty much like a carnival with games, face painting, caricature, a small ferris wheel and a few photo op places where you can stick you face into holes cut out into whatever they had. There were GINORMOUS blow-up heads of some of the Sanrio characters hanging from ceiling and everything was Sanrio-ified. Overall, v. cute. But also pricey...1 ticket was like $2....needless to say, we were being a tad cheap and thus didn't play any games (it seemed like the prizes sucked anyway...). I was tempted to make my own t-shirt (more like choose from x amnt of graphics to be silkscreened however you want...too bad you didn't get to do it yourself) and figure out if the magical shrinking tags were shrinky dinks. XD
