Time for Three CD Review + Giveaway

Posted on September 16, 2014 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: classical music, Kanye West, social good, Time for Three | 2 Comments

I was recently introduced to the band, Time for Three (Tf3). The members of Time For Three are Nick Kendall - Violin, Zach De Pue - Violin & Ranaan Meyer - Double Bass. They are classically trained string musicians who perform classical music from Bach & Brahms, but then during that same concert will play songs from contemporary artists such as Katy Perry, Kanye West & Justin Timberlake. In fact, it is Time for Three's cover of the … [Read more...]

Hello Kitty Con, Here I Come!

Posted on September 5, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Hello Kitty's 40th Anniversary, Hello Kity Con, Sanrio | 10 Comments

I have been a Hello Kitty fan for a long, long time. As a young Asian-American girl growing up in the 70’s, I was all about Hello Kitty. Sure, my friends & I were into Barbies, but there was something about Hello Kitty merchandise that I just had to have. I remember going mall shopping with my parents & if we happened to pass a Sanrio store, then I begged them to go inside. Inevitably I would ask my dad to buy me a small Hello Kitty plush … [Read more...]

Emmys 2014 #StyleLab Jewelry Preview

Posted on August 25, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Emmys 2014, jewelry preview, red carpet fashion | 6 Comments

For a lot of people, the red carpet arrivals at a glamorous awards show is just as important as the award show itself. Personally I love to see who wears what outfit & the type of jewelry, handbag or shoes the person is wearing. Print & online magazines are devoted to this coverage that very same day or week. Also folks like Joan Rivers & Giuliana Rancic spend hours analyzing the fashion hits & misses. So it's no wonder that … [Read more...]

MTV Video Music Awards 2014

Posted on August 24, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: MTV, Video Music Awards, VMAs | 6 Comments

So tonight is the big MTV Video Music Awards! This award show has always been known for its outrageous performances & stunts. Remember back in the day when Brit Brit & Madge locked lips? How about when Ms. Diana Ross "complimented" Lil' Kim's purple dress? These are watercooler moments people! By the way, do offices even have watercoolers anymore? Why can't we update this phrase to something more up-to-date like "Keurig gathering moments" … [Read more...]

CD Review + Giveaway: Unrepentant Geraldines by Tori Amos

Posted on August 19, 2014 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: CD giveaway, Tori Amos, Unrepentant Geraldines | 6 Comments

I’ve been a fan of Tori Amos since her Little Earthquakes days, back when I was in college & listening to KROQ radio station 24/7. The song Silent All These Years has such a great melody & those haunting lyrics…just beautiful! Fast forward 20-something years later & people are still listening to Tori’s music. Tori’s latest album Unrepentant Geraldines is vintage Tori, her lilting voice accompanied by that great piano music. I … [Read more...]

Music in the Park with California Philharmonic

Posted on August 5, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: California Philharmonic, Santa Anita Race Track, Victor Vener | 6 Comments

On a beautiful Saturday evening, I attended a California Philharmonic concert at Santa Anita Park. This is an awesome venue that is located in Arcadia. Picture the beautiful San Gabriel mountains on one side, the Santa Anita Race Track on the other & tables filled with happy families with picnic baskets. This area is surrounded by a green lawn & the musicians from California Philharmonic are on the stage in front of you. Doesn’t that … [Read more...]
