yesterday
apple mac store & vroman's bookstore. my mac is at the doctor's.

the cho show
margaret cho's new show on vh1. a lot of people hate her, but i love her. i can't wait to see her show.

rei kawakubo
surely, old news. but i love rei kawakuba of comme des garcons and i'm excited that she's designing for h&m's autumn line. being able to purchase clothing created by a legendary designer for moderate prices seem so unreal.

whatever it takes
