Working Girl















No, this is not what it looks like. I did not pick up after a dog on the street.
This is a chocolate, 60 calories munchkin that I devoured in .2 seconds and am pretty sure could have won the fastest time for eating a munchkin award, if such an award existed.


While watching reruns of Sex and the City the other day (which i live for on CW11 at 11:30 pm, and on TBS at 12 am AND 12:30 am - the TV God is good) I saw an episode of Samantha, Charlotte, Carrie and Miranda sitting in Bryant Park and discussing their busy lives. Miranda summed up her life as "Work, Work, Au Bon Pain, and Work" and I couldn't relate more. When someone asks me about how my life is after college, I now respond "Work, Work, Dunkin Donuts, and Work."
So, earlier today during my usual run to Dunkin Donuts while waiting for my coffee, my eyes scanned the calorie amounts revealed under each delicious tray of love & happiness filled donuts, bagels, etc. My eyes settled on a 60 calories, chocolate munchkin tray and I decided that since I never buy anything else from Dunkin Donuts besides liquids, I deserve a lil something something - plus I needed some sugar to get through the rest of the work day. The lovely worker placed my munchkin into the paper bag as I paid and headed back upstairs to the office. As I peeked inside the bag in the elevator ride up, I saw not one, but two munchkin stuck together! Feelings of happiness and sadness overwhelmed me at the same time. I was happy because I now had 2 munchkins for the price of one and 2 chocolate anything is always better than one. I felt sad because I knew there was no way I could resist the second munchkin and "put it down and step away from the munchkin." As I got to the office, I devoured the first munchkin and wrapped the second one away and put it my drawer...needless to say, a minutes later, I swung open my drawer as if there was a thousand dollars in there waiting for me, and devoured the 2nd munchkin. But like they say, "if nobody saw it, then it didn't happen."

Dear Weather, take some Motrin and stop PMSing

Dear Weather,

please stop burning CA and drowning NY.

While wildfires spread and destroy my future dreams of moving and safely living in California, there have been non-stop downpours in NY. I think it's time for me to move to a place where the weather doesn't PMS as much.

LOL of the Day

As I was reading MY morning version of the NY Times on the train...aka the genius that is Michael K's www.dlisted.com, I saw a lil news update about our Ms. Blohan doing a photo shoot for Spanish Vogue as Marilyn Monroe.

Lol as you read below:

"Why does HoHan hate Marilyn Monroe so much? If HoHan loved Marilyn unconditionally, she would quit dragging her beautiful image through the gutter

by posing as her over and over again. We all know what happend the last time. It wasn't pretty.

I mean, Marilyn Monroe's body TODAY probably looks better than this trick. When you're trying to look like Marilyn Monroe, but only end up looking like Pamela Anderson after getting gang banged by a dozen sumo wrestlers, it's time to hang up your wig and give it up.

Here's more of HoHan working the hardest she has all month at a photo shoot for Spanish Vogue."

Now I don't have anything againt Lindsay, when i met her @ Bungalow8, she was a very sweet girl...Yes, I was at the tanorexic stage of my life in the picture below, my skin tone is closer to Michael Jackson's color nowdays.

It's great that she's doing work these days, but I'd like to ask Spanish Vogue why take America's leftovers and put her in their magazine?

Gaga for President

So, I'm pretty sick of fuckbook (facebook), twatter (twitter), have given up on myspace a few years ago, and am now looking for something of substantial value - thus I've turned to blogging.
I have become completely obsessed with Lady Gaga as many of my friends will attest to. I found an amazing quote of hers that I feel like I have been living by for the past couple of years.
"Once I grabbed the reigns of my artistry,
I fell in love with that more than I did with the party life."
Unfortunately, or fortunately I was a HUGE party girl at Fordham and needless to say paid the consequences of my nightlife abuse and got pretty burned out. Living in Manhattan for 4 years made me realize that NYC is about 2 things only, unless you are a tourist. And these 2 things are: restaurants and clubs. Well, I'm sick of both - so now where
do I go? Yes, in a perfect world - if i was some trust fund baby, I could pack my shit up and move to California with no fear of not having a steady income and worrying about paying off my stupid college loans. But that's not the case, so what does one do to get out of depression of being an adult and having responsibilities...I turned to my artistic side and discovered a brand new world. I've recently began to think that to LIVE is to BE CREATIVE. I always had a talent for painting as a child but i never really developed it. I began to paint a few years ago and fell in love with what my right hand could do with some paint, a brush and a blank canvas! The feedback that i've been getting from my dear friends has been so tremendously encouraging and I am very thankful for your honest opinions and words of encourgement. I am submitting some paintings of mine to a gallery in NYC to see if any of them make the cut for an opening. My passion for art has opened my eyes to photography as well, since i tend to get most of my ideas from pictures i take or pictures i stumble upon in my friends' facebook albums. I absolutely love anything visual: photographs, paintings, film and one day would like to have my own production company that specializes in various aspects of visual art.
So, i guess you can say that I'm growing up as I become more aware of my own talents to waste time on instead of wasting it on the same routine of nightlife. In life, you have to be proud of your choices because in the end of the day you are your
own judge. So it's nothing personal to those friends that feel like I've been distant and out of the scene. It's only because I am discovering and dedicating most of my time and nights to something I am passionate about besides my other favs: shots of patron, fashion, and clubs.

To conclude, here is a B&W photo that I took at Terminal 5 when Lady Gaga performed this past weekend. I think this is a really good candid photograph and i got really lucky with the lighting that gives it that professional look.
