here’s baby girl jojo. C and I photographed her when she was just 18 days old.  She was such a good little baby. She let us toss her around while she slept. I bet her parents were horrified lol.

Congratulations to jack and Tina!! Meet their little girl Josephine

Crispy chewy and oh so delish. Got these macarons with vicky at a Korean bakery on 32nd street. 1.50 a pop. That’s a bargain compared to those French bakeries and it tastes just as good.

Stopped by the new Anthro store in Chelsea Market. They had this beautiful display of this paper skirt.

12 hours after getting off the plane from a 15 hour flight, we’re at the Shanghai World Expo. Yeah we’re nuts. But I figure this is a good way to keep us from falling asleep in the day.  We took the ferry from Puxi to Pudong with our fellow US friends from California. We only waited in line for the Spain pavillon, which is quite popular.  All the other countries had a 2+ hour wait. Next time we go back we’re definitely going to see Great Britain, Saudi Arabia and maybe South Korea. I’m usually the type of person that would wait in the line for anything. But didn’t do it since we were with company. need to be more considerate..:)  There are so many cool buildings with the exception of USA, which is a major disappointment. It looks like a storage shed!  We saw photos of it on the net so we knew better to not visit it.  On the bright side, we were able to visit the China pavilion which is unheard of because reservations were required.  C’s parent’s told us that reservations are snatched up within 10 minutes of each opening in the morning.  We walked by China and saw a quick flow of people moving in the line. So we jumped in. Yes, we had to walk through the snaking barracades but it was fast.  China is a bit overwhelming because there are so many cities inside.  We had to call it a day around 7pm. We were dehydrated, hungry and sleepy.  We’re definitely going to go back for more since we got free tickets

The girls took me out for dinner at Kefi. We got tons of mezes but the favorite of the night was probably the crispy cod with garlic potatoes and the sheep milk dumpling. The even surprised me with a little treat afterwards. I think it was a chocolate cake with sesame sorbet. so yummy! vicky also had great news for everyone. she’s pregnant!! it’s about time

I finally got eyelash extensions done. I have really short lashes and mascara doesnt work on me. Been wanting to try this for years but what held me back was the price. I found this placed Ebenezer in midtown that can do them for $90. Still expensive but not as expensive as $300. The place is run by little korean ladies with high pitched cutesy voices lol. I can barely make out what they are saying most of the time but they get the job done. The salon appears somewhat clean but do not expect any privacy. You get ushered into a room with 4 other beds and women. But who cares you close your eyes and sleep for an hour while they work on your lashes. Halfway through the job someone massages your feet, legs and hand.

So whats the verdict?

I’m so in love with my lashes!! I went for medium length and full set. They look really natural and I can barely feel them there. The best thing is that I no longer feel the need to wear eye shadow or mascara. Goodbye raccoon eyes! I think this will be a start to a monthly habit :/

Was driving through Houston Street and saw all these giant kisses in the traffic median on Houston Street.  The iron bells were wrapped in foil to resemble super sized kisses.  The kisses even have a paper message attached.  Turns out it was a project by Brooklyn based artist Richard Velloso.

Even though today is our last day in Vegas. We headed back to CES for 2 hours before our flight. We just wanted to go back for the all the freebies. Even though this stuff is useless I’m just a hopeless hoarder. Look at the stash:

Insanely thin TV by LG. The cigarette cracks me up..

Even Dr. Evil was at CES. All kinds of characters at the show..

Sigh… I think next time we go to CES we’ll stay 4 nights instead of 3. Vegas is huge. So much to see and eat and so little time. I need to start planning my next list of restaurants to try.
