Hello Kitty Terminal in Taiwan
This post is late BUT while I was in transit in Taiwan to LA from New Delhi, I came across gate C3 — a Hello Kitty Terminal!!! This gate is the only place at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport that has a terminal super dedicated to all things Hello Kitty. Since it was 10:30pm, NO ONE was at the gate! I got to selfishly hang out there all to myself!
Find these signs
And then it appears…!
New York New York… City of Dreams
I know I haven’t been in the mix lately as I usually am, so I apologize (for those who give a ____). Finals, full time work, NY, preparing to relocate, and pretty much life’s happenings has gotten me sidetracked from SexyFresh. May was a crazy month! Anyway… So I dipped out to New York for a much needed mini vacay. Been back for a couple days now and I miss NY as hell! Love love love it there! Check out some photos from my trip. Enjoy it like I did!
Apothéke, a speakeasy style bar. LOVED this joint!
Hello Joe… Joe’s Shanghai in Chinatown/Civic Center. Famous for their soup dumplings but overall, Chinese food that is to die for! Nuff said!
View of Brooklyn-Williamsburg from my girl’s apartment where we crashed. I found a lot of beauty in the city.
Handcraft jewelry line Fancy Sexy Me made face at the Artists and Fleas Market in Williamsburg that Sunday. I had the pleasure of meeting it’s founder Cynthia Catera, a majorly sweet Ohio native residing in NY. Check out her mini soldier pendant! Freakin awesome! And she was so kind to rep for SexyFresh, she laid our stickers at her booth. Their knuckle dusters and rings were also amazingly crafted.
Nha Toi restaurant located in Williamsburg, famous for their Banh Mi Pho. Yup! Pho in a banh mi without the noodles. Aaaaamazing sandwich. Brisket cooked in pho broth, stuffed in a light crispy baguette with basil, bean sprout, cucumber, cilantro, hoisin sauce, another house made sauce, and of course sriracha. It is THE best innovative banh mi I’ve ever set my mouth on.
BOMB.COM Eggs Benedict and Apple Chicken Sausages from Lokal Mediterranean Bistro in the streets on Brooklyn.
Momofuku Noodle Bar, East Village… This place is sacred lol. Photo above-Spicy Noodle with spinach, candied cashews, sausage, ramen then top it off with sriracha and you’ve got bliss. Photo below-aaamazing Pork Buns. Words will not describe these two dishes I had.
Gotta blast the citaaaaay… SexyFresh hittin’ NY!
We hit ILL Banger’s 1 Year Anniversary party at Stay Lounge on the lower east side to hang out with Mae aka Dj Illy P and her fiance Teddy from Boundless NY. Finally, I got the chance to meet her and also met some peoples from Cookies N Cream! By the way, Illy P is super dope on the set!
The Renegade also hit New York that last weekend! Time was sooo limited. I’m pretty bummed that I didn’t get a chance to stroll through.

MAC x Disney: Venomous Villans
Check out the teaser trailer here.
MAC Cosmetics is teaming up with Disney to create a limited edition color collection, intended to launch globally in late September in all MAC locations. The products will feature four Disney characters, on which the brand is keeping mum at the moment — although with a collection name of Venomous Villains, it is assumed that we’re not talking Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse here. Lipstick, powder, lip gloss and blush shades will be sold, ranging in price from $12 to $29.50. [source:WWD]

DIY: Nails
Saw this on a blog last week. Stayed home on a Friday night and tried to experiment. It was so much easier than it looks!
[via Hellz Bellz, via Glutter & Bullshit, via Dirty Little Style Whore, via Stop It Right Now]
I just used white polish for the base, black polish to paint squiggly tips, and a skinny nail art brush to paint the drips! And because it’s all drippy, it doesn’t have to be perfect! What do you think?

What Color Says About You
I enjoy these personality tests. It’s fun and it also let’s you learn a bit about yourself and whether what you read is reflected upon you or not. What does your personality color say about you? Here’s mine…
Click on the color links for more in depth of your personality…
Red: you are action oriented with a deep need for physical fulfillment and to experience life through the five senses.
Orange: you have a great need to be with people, to socialize with them, and be accepted and respected as part of a group. You also have a need for challenges in your life, whether it is physical or social challenges.
Yellow: you have a deep need for logical order in your everyday life and to be able to express your individuality by using your logical mind to inspire and create new ideas.
Green: you have a deep need to belong, to love and be loved, and to feel safe and secure. You need acceptance and acknowledgment for the everyday things you do for others – just a ‘thank you’ is sufficient.
Blue: you have a deep need to find inner peace and truth, to live their life according to their ideals and beliefs without having to change their inflexible viewpoint of life to satisfy others.
Indigo: you have a need to feel in harmony and at one with the Universe and to be accepted by others as the aware and intuitive spiritual beings that they are.
Purple/Violet: you have a deep need for emotional security and to create order and perfection in all areas of your life, including your spiritual life. You also have a deep need to initiate and participate in humanitarian projects, helping others in need.
Pink: you have a deep need to be accepted and loved unconditionally.
Turquois: your deepest need is to create emotional balance in your life, to be able to express your hopes and dreams no matter how idealistic they may be and to make your own way in the world under your own terms.
Black: you have a need for power and control in order to protect their own emotional insecurities.
White: your deepest need is for simplicity in your own life and to be independent and self-reliant so you do not need to depend on anyone else.
Brown: you have a deep need for a safe, secure, simple and comfortable existence with supportive family and friends.
