Hematite

I'm absolutely loving Hematite and Pewter.
Or anything metallic as long as it's dark.
Pewter is a metal, a slightly darker version of silver with a hue of midnight blue.
Hematite is a stone; imagine a sleek black mirror, shiny reflective and smooth.
Other names of similar colours are: gunmetal / gunmetal grey, midnight silver.
I also love bronze...

Leopard Print Dress

Little J has a Leopard print dress, and on today tonight I saw Zippora Seven posing with a guy in Russh; the couple were posing a Kate Moss and Johnny Depp. One of the images had Zippora in a dress that almost exactly likes your's Little J, I was trying to find the image but I can't seem to find it anywhere. It had the orange at the bottom and the same shape.

Cool Places to see in San Francisco

I went to San Francisco in January, and found some pretty cool places...

- Boudin Bakery, they have awesome Clam Chowder! (Fisherman's Wharf)

-Max's, a restaurant that's kind of dark, I had really nice stuffed mushrooms! (Geary Street)

- Lombard Street, the 'Crookedest street in the World', it's so beautiful, people live on that road, I can't imagine how long it takes them to get out of their driveways.

-Sausalito, a nice quiet town over the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge, it's so nice and relaxing there.

- There's a busker who draws a crowd at Fisherman's Wharf. He's the best busker I've ever seen. What he does is: he holds two big bunches of leaves and sticks in front of him and scares people as they walk past. It's so funny to see all the reactions but sometimes people get so scared they spill their coffee or get angry at him. He drew such a crowd once that I thought it was a dead giveaway that he was hiding, but people continued to walk past without seeing him until he scared them.
San Francisco has many buskers and beggers but I loved watching this one.

Dear Mother

Happy Mother's Day Mum!

Enjoy your cruise in Alaska.

I missed you today.

I love you!
