In my head, I believe that the wonderful season of summer begins in May on my birthday.  Sunny days, warm weather, swimsuit season (not sure if that’s a plus all the time), great parties, summer love, the whole shibang.  Well, this year, its become a reality.  Our friends at Kendo have planned a summer jumpoff/backyard blowout this weekend, Saturday, May 3rd and Sunday, May 4th.  Dope kicks will definitely be a steal at 50%-75% off.  So, ladies, start your summer off by heading out to L.A.’s premier sneaker boutique for women.

Our boy Keith’s got a new site, it’s super fancy. Check it out.

The lovely and talented Miss CLAW Money (about to be Mrs. CLAW Money) comes to our palm tree lined shores to celebrate the launch of her new line of Boosted bags and accessories. Come out and show your love (just don’t do it by trying to kiss her feet or lick her hands because she says that weirds her out).

The front window at Free’s Shop.

Our tenets (this almost made me cry).

So did this. Flowers from the magazines.

This is Ali pretending to be a young Japanese girl (which isn’t a terribly rare occurrence).

I was interviewed and photographed for Nylon Japan. There are other photos but they made me wear a hot pink skirt so it is my sincere hope you are all too cheap to buy a foreign magazine.

Also interviewed by WWD Japan. No big deal. Notice that I am about four feet taller than the super cute journalist. I think the word that comes to mind is “hulking.”

For my last night, the wonderful Free’s crew took me to a restaurant called Ninja which I’m sure is a complete tourist spectacle that they would never be caught dead in otherwise. Thanks guys! This is our server, Ninja Linda.

This is breaded steak. Shaped like fish. I love Japanese people.

I’m not sure what we’re doing with our hands here.

We probably won’t Linda, but you are too adorable.

Then: Karaoke! Let it be known that I absolutely love karaoke. I think there is some inverse correlation between the quality of one’s singing voice and his or her appreciation of karaoke. In that vein, I sound something like a dying cat when I sing but that never stops me from ordering up Heart’s “These Dreams” and having a moment. What can I say? Every second of the night I live another life.

“Joey find me ‘Glory of Love.’ Yes, by Peter Cetera.”

“Just like a knight in shining armor, from a long time ago. Just in time I will save the day, take you to my castle far awaaaaaaay.”

The End.
