Broadway


Bottoms:Thrift Store, Top: Alekz G, Belt: Yard Sale, Cardigan: Thrift store,
Shoes: Target, Bag:? wannabe Marc Jacobs

My top favorite place to walk around in Los Angeles has always been Broadway,
i don't know what kind of high i get off of it, ever since i was a little kid i remember taking
that 45min drive up to LA with my family and always landing in the infamous 12th and
Broadway where you get the real deals and all the amazing knock off merchandise, i
personally consider this the real LA, maybe because its the only place where i fit right
in and I'm always on budget or because of the huge old theater light signs and buildings.
. Today i took a small trip with a friend and my brother and sister,
in particular to look for a pageant gown because my sister and a friend  are coming out
in this crazy intense pageant and where else will someone find an amazing gown at an
amazing price?.
I was already feeling right in my element walking around on full speed like a maniac,
when i looked to my side and i spot Christine and Eric from UNIF, i have this really stupid
way of approaching people and i feel i always make situations awkward, now i don't
consider them celebrities of any kind they are just people the only difference is that they
are actually very talented, i really don't want to sound psychotic and make things even
more awkward but i feel the need to say that Christine and Erik (christeric) really have
been a huge inspiration to me for a very long time now and i feel really cool to have
had the chance to run into them at the most random time and at most random place,
believe me its not a just a kiss ass comment, i mean this with all sincerity, and this
ends here because its starting to sound like a love letter.

On food news i made history by passing up all the dirty LA food which
i usually devour on when I'm downtown to make a quick stop at The Mandarin
buffet in Thousand Oaks which was right on the way home i usually pile up the
most disgusting food so this might not be the place you want to look at for a
cute well put gourmet plate.

Horchata



I have been trying to post this for the past day and now that my computer stopped
throwing its tamper tantrum and now that i sat down peacefully to create this post
i completely forgot what i was going to go on about. So instead I'll let you know that
those pants im wearing i also got for 75cents I swear!. The belt is preview of something
on the works for my little online shop FilthyHanger we will be re-launching with a couple new
items and some positions and ideas of how to be creative with each item, i just feel  people
don't see the potential and creativity each hand picked item has and the humble price tag
that comes with it makes each item more exciting not only because a lot of stuff is vintage
but because most item are also hand made/re-made. Now the shirt i was excited to
wear because i feel it makes me look like a 90's stripper and also because my
best friend's, best friend passed away a couple months ago and she gave
me a couple of his clothes which i think is the coolest thing even though
a lot of people think its a bit scary and freaky, I never personally met
him but i know everything about him and he was to me the original
Mexican-clubkid/goth-erotic piercer and i will forever regret not
meeting him when i had the couple chances to do so, he was
and will forever be Thistle Harlequin look him up..

Top:Gift, Bottom: thrift store treasure find. Belt: filthy hanger. Bracelet:
Gift. Necklace: found laying around. Shoes: ?.


*Random Event* i went to my friend's, sister and law's
baby shower and was the only guy along with my brother sitting down watching coach
women (women that wear everything Coach) go insane playing games. They also had
endless pitchers of horchata the most delicious red potatoes, and yes i regret not
taking pictures.

Now that i think about it my plate from the baby shower would have been
more appropriate for my ghetto low budget food updates, but my breakfast
nutella banana sandwich will also do just fine.

Prince Charming



I had it with waiting to get blue, red and yellow paint to complete my desired
replica "Prince Charming" shirt i bet it would have looked a lot better in color but
this will do till them, these are also my pajama bottoms which I'm obsessed with wearing
not these in particular but pajama bottoms in general, i know what I'm about to say might
sound a bit pedophile depending on the readers mind, but this pajama bottom obsession
is do to the fact Kingston Rossdale walks out of his house with them all the time he is so
careless clueless about the fact he is probably the coolest kid.

Top: navy blue cardigan ?, T-shirt me. Bottom: Pajamas. Beanie: Godfathers
R.I.P. Shoes: Marc Jacobs rain boots. Bag: $2 Yard sale. Glasses: swap meet $5

My mom made these Tamales that if you haven't tried before you need too they are
Raja Tamales, they have cheese and slices of green Chile. I might have to get my stomach
cleaned after today because i might over dose on them, not also did she make these she made
Candy tamales, bean & cheese with chunks of Chile Habanero, do I not have the best mother?
not only does she make the best food but she has to put up with me everyday.

Lockdown


I made my sister play photographer outside our house because i decided like getting
cleaned up and dressed right before working out hah, but really more because i wanted to
wear that gray over sized blazer i got that same day at the thrift store for $1.00 and
all though looking back i find what i put together was something subtle compared to what
i usually wear, It's a good change all together its good to reinvent yourself slightly and
try different things from time to time, I'm also obsessed with tucking tacky necklaces
under collard shirts i have no clue where this came from..

Top: Geoffrey Beene, Bottom: Forever21 women 75cent thrift store.
Blazer: ?, Necklace: old Necklace i found laying around and Chanel charm
i also found laying around, Shoes: H&M.
This weekend consisted of a family baby shower, for a family friend.
If you are Mexican i mean not white wash, REAL Mexican you know that its a
trend to have Tacos grilled by the pounds for the guest, there is no acomidation
for a vegetarian so when you are stuck in a helpless situation you better be
creative and follow what i pulled out, I made my own vegetarian tacos with
onions, cilantro, lemon, red & guacamole salsa, beans, and my new
obsession Papalo Leaves. Its an ancient plant, found all over Mexico,
the American Southwest and parts of South America
they have this
certain refreshing scent and you can include it in almost anything.
I smashed some of it into this fresh cucumber juice my aunt made
and i know anyone would go crazy for this its must!

No fit

I have always wanted to wear these trousers my brother owns
but they are not my size, but while drooling over Vivienne Westwood's
Man Collections a favorite hobby of mine i noticed that over sized look she
does with her trousers, so i mounted my brothers trousers and strapped a belt
on my waist and all though i most definitely didn't hold a candle next to Vivienne
convinced my self deep inside that they were indeed Vivienne Westwood. I also
realized i took these pictures once again at the Target Resort haha which was
not my intention but it works, I also highly recommend one of my favorite
snacks of all time Baby food Pouches i swear life to those they are
amazing i would probably survive on those if i had too.

I also tried this new thing i was curious to do to with the pictures,
to upload the pictures and then take a picture of the picture.  yeah idk...

Billboard

The funny thing about my Mother is that she can care less about what my hair
looks like she has always let me dress and be myself, but when it comes to wearing
patterns that contrast each other or if I'm doing two plaid colors in the same outfit it
it bothers her more than anything and as her child i feel that it is my duty to do my
part in annoying her every once in a while. This Look was also a small mix of
a proud shopper, because i bought these pants for 75cents which i really have
no clue whether they are pajama bottoms or part of a 70's grad mothers
Mumu collection but regardless they reminded me of Vivienne Westwood
and i just couldn't let this 75cents stay in my pocket. 
Pants: 75cents thrift store. Top: $1 thrift store. Shoes: Target Women section.
Bag: Thrift Store $3 but we can say its Marc Jacobs since i hung my MJ key chain
on it. Belt: Hecho en Mexico. Rings: Marc Jacobs, Spoon made ring, Material Girl
cross, Vending Machine, and a gift from my brother. Bracelets: Calvin Klein and
a gift from a friends trip to Europe.

Before i look like hypocrite for putting up a picture of my Salmon
roll dinner plate after a went on about fancy looking dinners, let me tell
you that we have this amazing place where i live and every night they have
happy hour with rolls for only 3-4 dollars i would be a complete fool to not
take advantage of such a deal. Now if you live in California and don't know
who Angelyne is there is something wrong, well i spotted her on a random
parking lot yesterday and being on my bucket list for many years now i
had to approach her and let her know how fabulous she is and of course
i needed to have that closer look. She ever so sweetly took the task
to try to slang me some of her T-shirts from the trunk of her car and
poor her i had nothing on me but she was very nice...... to be continued
