The Bold And The Beautiful Bowling Birthday

Last night was a pretty insanely fun night... my friend Whitney had her big birthday extravaganza in Santa Monica, organized by her amazing friend Kristin. We had SUCH a blast! As you can probably see from the pictures... Which really, look like they come from a beer commercial. Only with even more hot chicks.
We started out at Parlor in Santa Monica which is a great high class sports bar type place. Fun! Good food too - I nearly OD'ed on the fries. Here you can see the gang talking and having fun, and my newest BFF Cece giving us her own special "hello world!".

The shock of the night came after taking this picture and being told that both Whit and her BFF Kristin shown below....
Are single. Yeah, I know, WTF, right? It's possible there's a sudden blindness epidemic that has swept over Los Angeles... I'm not sure. But seriously, even my camera fogged up after some of these pictures. Muy caliente! Kristin and Whitney had me cracking up all night, I am sore from laughing....
And from eating cupcakes! Whitney's friend Erica made her the most dee-lish cupcakes and even had a special shirt made:
How cute is that! Erica's shirt says "My friend Whit is the shit! Beautiful and fun, now 31"... adorable!
Kristin has the power of fire, and actually lit the candles with her fingertips. It was pretty impressive, until I was told she was apart of the X-Men. Then I was sorta bummed she couldn't even fly. Boooringgg.
Too much pretty!
She made a wish! However I'm not a billionaire today so I don't think it came true. :(
Next it was on to bowling where more crazyness ensued (and we just drank water, I swear):
Kristin bowled so many perfect strikes I started to think she had the power of fire AND telekineses.
Chris, who was one of my bowling buddies, was super cool. Note that Whitney is now officially the Pose Queen(TM) - look out Tyra, she's got your number!
OK, Tyra, you just lost. Also, I think that bowling ball just melted.
I bowled and did OK the first game... thanks to Cece for this nice shot of my arse in mid bowl.
W00t! I broke 100, which is good for me. 111 is lucky right? After that, I was pure crap.
Whitney looks like a Pantene Pro-V commercial even when she's bowling. It's a little insane.
Back to a beer ad! WOO! Needless to say, we were the life of the party everywhere we went!
They turn on blacklights at night and it makes everything look pretty cool. They also play R&B music, which I didn't get how that goes with bowling... but it was fun... ehr... fo shizzle, dawg!
FIERCE! "You are ze tigerrrr! Scratch ze camera! You haaate the camera! RAWRR! Now you are ze kitten! Meow! Meow to ze camera!" What can I say, I'm a photographer at heart.
STRIKE! Birthday girl luck!

I lucked out and got some super awesome shiny new shoes at the alley:
Kristin was quite taken with them and kept buying them drinks. Yeah, I'm not saying anything, but let's just say the shoes did very well that night. VERY WELL. Wink wink, nudge nudge. My shoes totally used me.... sigh.

Happy Birthday, pretty!
Blair came to help Whit celebrate and was a blast to talk to, all of Whitney's friends were so much fun!
Bowling crazynessssssss! Everytime I looked up the other lanes were looking jealous and probably wondering what was in our beer. ;) Ehrr... water.
Kristin was a pretty serious bowler, someone walked through her lane and she set them on fire. But in a nice way.
The beautiful Cece who broke 100! WOO! She rocks, and made me laugh pretty much all night. :) She also pointed out that I have "1 blue ball"... Thanks Cece. Thanks. A lot.
PILLOW FIGHT ON LANE 23!
Adam and Blair were mystified by my magic Extendo-Arm(TM), while Whitney proves she can't take a bad photo.

I decided I wanted some more bowling action shots - and you know these babies went straight to Facebook and Myspace as profile pictures last night. ;)Angelina Jolie... I mean Kristin rules! She was trying to take a nice, cute photo with me - and I of course went for the crazy tongue shot. Yeah, she'll learn I'm Cruiseazy!
Here Whitney shows she not only poses better, but also can hold the bowling ball with ONE (1) arm while I apparently need TWO (2) arms to hold a ball. So yeah, she's stronger too. I'm going to go cry in a corner now.

OK crying over! Thanks Paxil&Zoloft cocktail!

As we went to exit, Kristin got bored outside as we waited for someone and nearly killed me with laughter...
"You better not be taking photos!"... Yeah, we all know that's pretty much all I do.
"Cute-Purse ATTACK! WOO!"
"Xena!!! YIIIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIIIIII!"
"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard!" Damn right, Kristin, this one's better then yours... ehr... mine.
"I AM THE BOWLING GODDESS OF LA! WOO!"
"Bow down, bitches!"
She even interviewed a random dude in the parking lot... Adam, Eric, Blair and I nearly died of laughter. I think the poor suit-guy was scared. :)
"Ya'll can't handle this much sexyyyy! Rowr!"
HAWT! Ooooh my stomach is sore from laughing.
Next up we went back to Parlor for a nightcap:
It suddenly got extremely crowded! Check out this photo...
Can't see? OK I'll zoom in for ya:
LOL!! Yeah, it's pretty amazing. I love the bar moments I capture sometimes. These two kids were going at it ehr... LA STYLE... and the two girls here were cheering them on. It was awesome.
The girl in the black dress was all drunk over the table a few minutes before, and the table totally got to 3rd base with her... hawt. Note, as my new BFF Cece pointed out, "The Wasian.". The white guy hanging with a group of Asians and trying to blend in... he was awesome.
We made fun of the people in the bar for about 30 minutes and I think I snorted beer out my nose.

As Nelly Furtado says, all good things must come to an end:
It was an awesome night! Whitney is a great friend! She's a blast of energy, fun, and positivity and clearly surrounds herself with cool peeps. It was SO MUCH FUN hanging with her and her amazing friends all night! Happy Birthday Whitney, you rock!!!

Well I needed to slow things down a bit today after all that insanity, and I met up with Oregon BFF's Julie and Vince for lunch in Hermosa Beach, picking up Aussie BFF Sandy and her BF Ben along the way:
We had a great time as always! Ben's a really cool guy and Sandy's awesome, all Australians are so cool...
It was pretty crowded!
Yes, crowded! It's summer! It was like 87 at the beach!
We made our way along the pier and I made a new friend...
I called him Fishy McGuts, he was so cute and fun! He doesn't talk much but he really touches everyone he comes into contact with. I heart his lil style! Oh Fishy, you so crazy!
The Aussie with her BFF and her BF! ;) lol
Great weekend, and now on to what should be a pretty fun week. Hope ya'll had a great weekend!

Angel-A For A Day

I was bad and forgot to post the pics from Sunday... before M&D flew out we met up with Angela who was fresh in from Washington D.C. Due to me forgetting to blog her, I got a bucketload of guilt. And she threatened to "Gut you like a baby seal, and wear your skin like an ugly trophy". Yeah, she looks sweet, but she's very street ya'll.

Mom gave her a gift and Angela grabbed the shopping bag, thinking it was a new dress:
It was sooooo awkward when we explained that it wasn't a dress you wear - during the day. Whew. Ironically, just her size... Pretty.

Speaking of pretty:
The Oregon genes just don't stop. Yeah, those eyebrows are alllllllllllll natural baby! WOO!

Mom's B-day Madness

All right, there are a ton of crazy photos coming up. Are you ready?
I didn't think so. We'll start off light and build up. Just hold on!
We started Saturday with a nice trek through Venice Beach. Look, palm trees! Yay!
What you don't see is the crazy. Lots of crazy here. Also, lots of funky smells. Lots of tourists. Ahhh, the Venice boardwalk is like no other!
Here a crazy tree person on stilts (which brought them up to my height! Ha!) stopped and stared at me. Note to self: Less crack, more water.

After that we went to C&O Trattoria to celebrate Mom's birthday, and a ton of my friends came out to party:
My supercuz's Aliah & Gabriel came up from the OC to hang, and enjoy this pic, it's one of the last few nice ones in the set...
OK one more of me and Kirsten. Hey babe!

Ready for a lil crazy?
Here we see Raphael's very white hand reaching for Jenn's boob. Yeah, I don't know how to explain it either. Jeff didn't seem to mind, but Raphael did have to pay him $20 after.

"Don't grab my boobs with your white hand!"
Raph toasts to that.

Mom brought gag gifts for EVERYONE (seriously, enough for the entire restaurant just about):
Including a shiny new flowery bra for Jeff. This is a tradition started a few years back, and he rocks it every time. HAWT!
Sexy baby! Show off those big ol hooters! Rowr!
P.S. Yes, I am reaching in for a lil nip pinch... can you blame me?
Yay, a nice photo! Matt, Mike, and the always pretty Dao. Don't Dao and Mike look like a cute couple?
Mom and Aliah and I! Aww, cute! However to get this photo it took about 3 tries...
Mainly cuz we were laughing our asses off. :)

Paul got some rockin new glasses and decided to show them off:
Yeah, it's Facebook ready! Pretty hawt, P!
Matt also got some new glasses while Mike rocked his new grills. We'z street, ya'll!
Raph's all about the bling. Move over Kanye!
Gabe was trying out a new look too, I think it works for him.

At C&O ever hour or so they stop what they are doing and play That's Amore. It's so fun! All the waiters come out and toast you and everyone sings at the top of their lungs ('cept me, who hates when glass shatters and eardrums bleed):
Here I'm caught mid song, drinking......................... grape juice. Lots of grape juice.
Everyone sings better with bunny ears!
Good teeth and red noses tend to go with alcoholism.
Rock those glasses Mike! Is it me or does he look like a character from the 60's Batman show?
Yeah, it's sexytime.
Bunny ears and a fallen halo - I couldn't think of anything more appropriate!
Jeff made the plastic bunnies do all sorts of nasty things together. What's this "special hug" between the four bunnies all about?!?
This super dark photo is of Eddie Cibrian who was sitting behind us. See, you can't go anywhere without running into celebs!
Jennie was embarassed by Jeff's mating of the plastic bunnies, till she informed him "no you are don't it all wrong! Bend the other way!". Damn girl.
The waiters sang for Mom's bday! Note the kids on the left. It was pretty funny, we were wayy crazier and wild then the table of 17 year olds. lol They looked shocked, surprised, and then frightened as the night went on. :)
Oh bunnies.
Princess is not happy!
Peace out!
The whole gang outside! Quite the fun night. :) But it wasn't over yet, next we went on to Casa Escobar in the Marina for a night of dancing:
And Mom got noticed of course. Look at that chick's expression!
"Ya'll white folk are Cruiseazy... girl, work that shizz!"
I often pose with a neon hula hoop around my neck... LA STYLE!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH EXTREME CLOSE UP!
Dad, Aliah, and Mom worked the dancefloor!
It was crowded, fun place! We did sorta stick out like a whore in church, but... no, wait, that's a terrible analogy. We stood out like... Paris in college. Paris in church? Wait, that's the same....
"Raise the roof ya'll!"
Doesn't it look like an elaborate crane setup was brought in to take that pic? Nope, just my Extendo-Arm(TM)!
Trent bought flowers for mom like three times. Seriously dude, way to make the rest of us look bad!

I found an interesting fact out that night:
My ass lines up with Jenn's boobs. Rowr.
Hey cuz! She and Gabe rocked the dance floor and he showed us the latin moves... it was impressive, and made me feel even more white! "Hip movement? What's that?"
I think Mom is practicing karate here with Gabe or something.
Half of Le Gang(TM)!
Mini family reunion!
Hey Matt! We have a running joke that I think he's short because he's 6 feet tall. I try not to rub it in... but hobbits do scare me.
The ladies survey the room from the couch... and talk sh** about their men. I know how that stuff goes down!
Raph and I give a "Holla!" to the camera, and Jeff looks ready to beat Raph up. I think he was still mad about the whole white-hand-boob-grab thing at dinner.
LA STYLE!
Confessions On A Dancefloor!
Dork On A Dancefloor! Notice Momz didn't leave the dancefloor....
She outdanced all of us! And is that white-guy finger pointing T? Wow...
Aww! Freaky man giant poses before crushing small villages.
T gave Mom a ring, and not to be outdone....
Matt proposed.
The spider ring wasn't my first choice, but you know, whatevs.

More glasses came out:
She's a swimmer ya'll.
T went all crazy and started attacking the 'bright flashes from the aliens', while David just stared at shiny objects. Yeah, fitting end to a great night!

It was a really fun day and nice to celebrate Mom's bday in style, made even better by all my amazing friends coming out to par-tay.
