The Lagunatics II....

The next Lagunatic is probably Laguna Beach's most famous

Name: Cindy (Umbrella)
Age: Unknown
Claim to Fame:this is a tough one because Cindy 
is so many things all at once. 
She can be seen strolling up and down PCH with a giant patio umbrella slung over her shoulder yelling at trees and other plant life. 
She also has one of the craziest wardrobes i have ever seen. She is often found wearing 3-7 wigs at once, multiple bandanas, countless watches, ponchos, etc. 
She also does not deal in regular American dollars, she trades matchbox cars for beers at the local gay bar. 

She is one of the most well known and hilarious members of the lagunatics!

The Lagunatics.....

This past weekend, while nursing a major hangover, me and my neighbours mused about all things Laguna.

Laguna, if you dont know is a small beach community that prides itself on being a an artists retreat as well as a weekend getaway spot for anyone inland.

These things are all nice but arent what i love about Laguna.

The thing i love about living here are the Lagunatics!
Since Laguna is pretty small the homeless/ crazy population is pretty small so you get to know all of them pretty quickly.

So here is the first of what will become a series!

Meet Garfield Lady!
Name: Garfield lady
Age: unknown( but i can estimate roughly 40ish)
What Makes her a Lagunatic: She frequents all the bars
up and down PCH selling drawings of garfield. The MAjority of these drawings are ones that she has colored in that have been removedfrom coloring books. IF you are lucky however she may have a hand drawn gem or two..... i once got a hello kitty/ garfield love child that know sits on a special spot on my fridge!

Earth Day

So yesterday i had the chance to go participate in UCLA's Earth Day!
The Day started pretty early and we met up with the Silver Jeans Co Fam at the Laguna Beach marketing and PR office, we packed up our gear and headed to LA!

Most of the day was spent educating student on ways that
Silver Jeans Co. is using new processes to reduce, reuse and recycle.
We talked about new washing processes ( ones that use almost 60% less water or no water at all) and ways that we are recycling by using recycled materials in the denim as well as in the bags that shoppers take home from the Denver store location.
We also had a denim trade in event to benefit homeless youth in LA!

The Only down side to the day was that i walked away with one massive sunburn!

to learn the golden rule....

So last week was my first week back at school after my long adventure to the south and relaxing week spent in denver.

Unlike most college kids back to school does not mean sweatpants, greasy hair and some form of slipper/ugg/flip flop combo. If you dont know already I go to FIDM which is a fashion school, and i like most people who go their dress accordingly, so i thought i would share a sneak peak of my first day of school outfit (yes i am 6 years old and yes it may have been pre planned)
Some of the highlights are:
- brand new navajo ring from manitou springs
-Spiked Litas
- Sparkly nails
- always have to have the perfect winged eye
( dont worry i will do a tutorial on how to achieve this in a later post)
- knee length tule circle skirt



xoxo- May

Denver.... Where fleece is always at the height of fashion

So after the long road trip to Augusta and back, i got a chance to settle in, in Colorado Springs for a week

While i was there i got to visit some of my faves and mostly just chill out with my man friend, go up to the mountains, visit denver etc.

One of my first stops upon arriving was going to have to be to one of my favorite Denver Salons, Star Salon to visit some of my besties as well as get my Hair did, as I'm too frightened to go to anyone in california. I had been rocking the blonde tips a la Drew Barrymore for quite some time now so I decided it was time to go back to black! Duane did an awesome job and i left with all black locks with just a hint of purple for shine!


After prepping, processing and curls Duane and i headed out to meet some more of our ninjas for drinks and hours of silliness and laughter! The night of course ended in watching Despicable Me and finding out that Larry (Roxy Reubenstein) made a guest appearance.


The rest of the trip was mostly spent out in the Springs with my man friend. We enjoyed a trip to Manitou Springs to hun for native american treasures, kareokee with his best and even some serious delicious BBQ!


Till Next Time Denver!
