"It's like killing a unicorn, with like, a bomb."

On (the 2nd) Sunday (of the month), we went to the Rose Bowl Flea Market and it was SAD. My natural hatred of people usually sets my mood for the day, but the prices and lack of inspiration made me extra pissy and ultra people-hate-y. $15 for a rusted out metal milk crate? $120 for a scratched up table? Indie/hipster gals and dicks looking the same as they did LAST year? I love people watching, but what's the point if everyone looks the same? Clean out your closets and get new clothes! Annnnnnyway, I tried to shake up my look (well, Jaya heavily "suggested" I go this route) and wore over-the-knee socks. Yes. I crammed my meaty calves and crackling knees in some Target-bought black socks.
The only picture of me with least amount of "moon-face."
Jaya went her tradish-y self while proclaiming her love for Coca-Cola.
Lovin the color of the background sky. I'm sure Jaya'll want a shirt in that color.
Highlights of the flea market:
On left: Just like me, with the awkward posing and freaky foot. On right: Going for the middle-school-yearbook classic picture pose of "hand underneath chin".
Should we have gotten this? Maybe. It's the best Mormon wedding dress/muumuu.
If it's another billion-ty months before I go back to the Rose Bowl Flea, I'm okay with that.

Strange Times.

Whenever Jaya and I go out we never really stray far from our normal haunts: thrift stores, flea markets, Target, Ikea (DAMMMMMNNN YOUSE and your never-available tv units), various eateries (mmmmm, meat pillows), and where ever shoes can be found. But last weekend we ventured out beyond our comfort zone (hey hey HEY!). Here is a photographic timeline of good times: 01\ Prep Time: We GOTS to look good before we go out (or at least decent):
Me awkwardly posing in a denim t-shirt dress and "tissue box" shoes.
Jaya showing off her almost-finished leather-armed/denim jacket.
02\ First Stop: Photo Shoot. We went to a photo shoot for Jaya's work at a loft/studio in Downtown L.A. so Jaya could lend a hand/dress the models/pretend care/snicker at bad hair.
Picture Montage Time!: Trying the Mosley Tribe sunglasses.
What in the WHHAAA? Jaya's scrawl as part of Sq.One logo.
Model dude & J's coworker busting some horizontal poses.
03\ Second Stop: Space 15 Twenty in Hollywood. I wanted to see the "Where The Wild Things Are" Pop Up Shop and the costumes that Christian Joy made.
P.S. I didn't get a picture, but I COULD LIVE in that twig/branch cocoon of a display.
04\ Last Stop: Late lunch/early dinner at Grand Lux in the Beverly Center. The waiter was a creeper (he would make his way towards us but then would make a U-ie just a couple of feet shy of our table) but the food was good good. Mmmmm I had meat pillows with cheese (I don't remember the actual name but that's what it tasted like to me) while J went the "healthier" route and ate the salmon piccata. Well, that sounds less adventurous that I anticipated but whatevs. That's cool.
