“you’re famous”

Last week in Dallas I had the pleasure of meeting Xeni (aka Madam Boing) from Boing Boing and it seems I have lots of friends that read it.  I’ve gotten texts, FB messages, emails and Tweets about the following article. Thought I better share it with the rest of ya. Check it out! Virgin America, the airline that carries Boing Boing Video as an in-flight TV channel, launched service from Los Angeles to Dallas-Forth Worth, Texas this week. I joined other press for the inaugural flight, to live-tweet snapshots of the festivities. This included a bunch of cowboys and longhorn steer right on the tarmac at landing, and later, a “secret” performance by Willie Nelson with impromptu on-stage hoedown involving Sir Richard Branson and gorgeous flight attendants. See photo gallery & full article here.

i took a bite of fashion toast.

On Twitter yesterday I saw famed LA fashion blogger Rumi Neely posted a NZFW photo diary. What did I find? A pic of me, Rumi and Gala Gonzalez from the Nom D party at NZFW. That night was so fun, we climbed on the car and were posing for photographers. If you don’t know Rumi or Gala, you must be living under a fashion rock. I have a crush on Gala, she’s from the UK and just lovely. Her blog is inside am-lul’s closet and Rumi’s blog is fashion toast. Hopefully I get back to NZ again next year for FW. I’d love to get to a few other countries too! I got a glimpse of  ‘the life’… I had a driver, an assistant, and was ushered to front row for every show and always posing for photos.  Lets hope for more of that in my future!

I like to think of myself as a one man wolf pack.

Pretty excited for this week. Monday night I’m hosting a benefit concert at Supermarket in Kensington. The show is  raising money for Kids Help Phone. If you’re around, come. Details below. Tuesday is my last day home before I go on vacation.  I’m gonna *try and digital detox.  I’ve only missed ONE day of internetting over the past year (see Bud Camp 2010) and I feel like taking a break.  Wow, really feels good to say type that. I’ve partnered with some peeps to do some holiday gift giving while I’m away. One day I will go Oprah style and give you all my favourite things.  I’m also planning to look back at things from the past year, reflect. Having a blog is a great way to remember the stuff you do. I forget all kinds of things, so it’s quite fun to look back. My blog header used to say “people, places, things, thoughts, in attempt to keep more memories.” Looking back is a great way to think about the future and what I want to achieve in the new year. Wednesday evening I fly to Boston to meet my friends. Thursday we fly to San Juan, Puerto Rico for a week in the sun. I’m really looking forward to that very moment when my feet hit the sand and the sun is on my face! WHY WHY is tumblr not back up yet 🙁 Omg, omg. Wahhh. Two hours and counting and the blogging platform is still down. Whatever are we to do without The Daily What and all those other delightful blogs? According to The Next Web and CenterNetworks, Tumblr has been down for two hours now, causing a lot of derision among folks on Twitter. via @mashable Dexter tonight. My sister totally got me hooked on…
