So here I am in SF for the week. God i'm seeing how beautiful this city is when you are unemployed and don't have to pay rent. it's awesome!! i walked around Haight Tuesday and bought cheap knock offs of expensive dresses. I went to this store called Ambiance and their motto is "at ambiance, we really like you" emphasis on the really. Isn't that the stupidest slogan you've ever heard. Anyways point being ambiance had a designer dress polka dot booby showing jersey wrap dress for 120 and i got it at an azian knock off store down the street for 30 bucks. I figured with a dress like that why pay quality when i'm only gonna wear it a couple of times in the summer. So anyways i had this vision of taking tons of pictures of my walks through the city but then i felt like a) i kind of hate tourists who stop and take random pics of homeless people in the city, b) i'm not an artist so i can't pass myself off as creative person taking a shot of beauty and c) pictures don't explain my feelings. Anyways here are the pics I took yesterday. art??
Yay Pride!! This weekend is pride. I'm so sad i can't be there. there were so many gays walking around downtown, but you could tell they were gay tourists. It made me happy. i saw this old Filipino gay man in front of a jewlery store that had a bejewelled rainbow bracelet, and he was wearing platform flip flop sandals and sunglasses and yelled "oooooooohhhhh i liiiiiiik dat!" I love the gays...and speaking of the mo's
Here is a pic of the city's Emporio Armani. Ivan and i once pretended that we were looking at the artchitecture but we really just wanted to see the clothes. It's a really pretty building though. It reminds me of Florence where all the designer stores were in cool classic buildings.
Anyways in my attempt to find city memories and memorex them this is the only real one that stuck out. ivan and i were trying to go to a movie and we had alotted ourselves like 30 to 45 minutes to get a fucking quizno's sangwhich. We had both been craving quiznos forever and were waiting for a while for this damn sangwhich. Anyways we tried 3 different quiznos and they were all closed on sundays because everything in the financial district closes on weekends. And then we tried to go to like a subway or anything but they were all closed and the only thing that was open was this del taco, a local homeless hang out. so we had really gross food and to top it off we had to spend extra money to take a cab to the theater because all of this quizno's treasure hunting had taken forever. Ah the memories...
I leave you with this shot. it was my attempt at ultimate hipsterness and irony and in that irony i truly achieved the ultimate hipsterness! Note I am wearing everything i swore i would never wear. Basically i have no real morals that i stick by. Note the Rainbow sandals, the city shorts (ugh), the red helmet of coolness, and Dr Love's vespa. What you can't see in this photo is that we are in the hipest most unknow center of hipsterness, Noe Valley. Also you can't see that we had just come back from buying kitschy mint water and hibiscus strawberry drinks from the local Bi-Rite, a small time, organic super market. yuck!!! can you eemagine.
