THIS IS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6!
From Venice to K-Town to West Hollywood, a whirlwind day of overindulgent eating, but all to see good friends from around the world. Hope that’s okay! Enjoy.

Yes, I know today is supposed to be weekly photos, but I have no memory to edit on my phone and I need to go through them. But! Here’s a documented day from last week.

8:30 AM rise and shine. I set my alarm for earlier as I have a friend in town. He’s extremely jet lagged so I was expecting texts starting at like 6:30 AM.

_MG_1279
Good morning, Suf.

_MG_1286
We were out real late the night before, doin’ a young person going out evening in West Hollywood. I had a drink that tasted like strawberries. I’m pretty sure I can still taste strawberry…

_MG_1294
It’s like he wants something…

_MG_1300
What Suf!!!!!

Friend on his way! Gotta get dressed. I’m also off to Gabby’s b-day brunch, so I throw on my cherries dress.

It’s fun to be in the backseat for once.

That features this planter…which seems like the long lost cousin to my hamburger ceramic chip and dip dish.

_MG_1320
This bakery had pretzels the size of my butt

_MG_1322
It’s breakfast and he orders a chocolate cookie. “The biggest I’ve ever seen!”

Fresh air!

They are planning on doing a beach thing, and I separate ways to walk over to the brunch place for Gabby’s thaaang.

Is there anything more beautiful than egg yolk?

_MG_1365
Do other cities out there love brunch as much as I feel like LA does? Like the whole weekend brunch thing…eating outside. Drinking bottomless drinks.

_MG_1366
_MG_1375
We part ways once again.

_MG_1379
_MG_1383
Back from brunch, Zeen pointing at things.

We’ll never know.

_MG_1405
_MG_1406
I should do other things, but I just want to play the Sims 3 for a bit. Yes, the Sims 4 came out! I’m going to wait till they do some kind of expansion pack or upgrade. Yeah. I’ve watched demos. So what.

_MG_1409

The face of a slug…feeling guilty about “wasting” the weekend.
