Oh, Madge (T_T). I remember when you two went to the Grammy's together. And this message from Madonna's manager Guy Oseary's Twitter:

The moment that never happened: A month ago Madonna told me she wanted to do a surprise performance at one of michael Jackson's uk shows..

Don't miss an opportunity people. Live now.

Two weeks ago I drove me and two friends all the way to Laguna for the opening of Cute and Dangerous. From the site:

Cute and Dangerous is an esteemed art event, a global collaboration of sixteen artists who have come together to showcase their own adaptation of edgy, modern art. This remarkable event will feature live paintings, plush toys, videos, sculptures, designer toys, illustrations, prints and more. A limited quantity of pieces will be available for purchase at the show. Artists Include Jon Burgerman, Nathan Jurevicius, Andrea Kang, Meomi, SKAFFS, Anita Mejia, Angela De Reis, I Heart Guts, Hsinping Pan, Jupey Krusho, Mylan Nguyen, Le Merde, Jessica Cooper, Meghan Murphy, Julian Callos, Leslie Levings, and Andrew Wilson.

I lucked out. I spotted two pieces by Andrew Wilson that were Nintendo themed, so I bought them right away. I'm so happy to have these to add to the growing collection

Finally, FIDM put up their online presentation for the Art of Motion Picture Costume Design exhibit this year. I'll be stopping by FIDM again today for another costume exhibit. More details later.

Happy International Sushi Day! Not sure who or what group decided this, but in honor of this day of one of my favorite treats, I'm posting about some good sushi I found in a landlocked state. Can it be? Miles from the ocean and I didn't get sick eating sushi in Colorado?

It's true.

Tomo Sushi is in a strip mall, but what fun sushi find isn't these days? The decor is bizarre, remains of the previous restaurant (apparently frontier themed). I was going with a sushi lover and a sushi novice. I ordered the agedashi tofu to start. I actually can't remember what sushi rolls we ordered, but they all had some combination of spicy tuna and cream cheese. The BFF loves spicy foods and cream cheese together.

There's a fantastic bar in WeHo whose namesake is a reminder of two favorite people in my life - T. Felix and Felix M. Both saints in their own right. They serve food here (I couldn't resist the cheese and olive board), but it's their custom drinks made with fresh fruit that makes this little spot a go-to. The swanky, dark atmosphere is just a bonus.

The Prophecy has come to be.
