Minimal Lights

I’m loving minimal industrial looking lights. I love the big wall mounted pendant over that lllooonnnngggg table and the plain-jane socket lights in the bathroom.

The Ace Hotel had similar pared down lights all over. I guess I am now officially obsessed with the Ace – oh and by default Commune Design.

Seriously, who do I have to blow to get a job at Commune?

Plants

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Dear Interweb,

Do you know what this tree is called?

Also, you might be able to name these plants as well.

My local nursery totally hates me and will thank you. I’ve been trying their patience with endless questions about drought tolerant plants and xeriscaping and saying “You know, all the plants they use in Palm Springs…nope, I don’t know what they are called”.

They keep telling me that I want a cactus garden…to which I reply NO.

Peaches

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

What could make this week even more fabulous than its already been?

PEACHES!

We went to go see Peaches Monday night to cap off our awesome vacation.

Crowd SURF!

SAY WHAT!

Where would a Peaches concert happen in the middle of nowhere? At Pappy and Harriets in Pioneertown which is located in the high desert of Yucca Valley.

Here’s Peaches singing and dancing on an old timey bar.

and here is Peaches marrying 4 girls on stage.

This was probably one of the best concert’s I’ve ever been to. It was out in the middle of nowhere in a fake old western bar outside in the dirt on a rickety stage next to a BBQ pit. There must have only been about 150 people there and it was AMAZING.

We danced and drank out of mason jars and went hog wild under a full moon. Peaches is such an energetic and exciting performer. I’ve always loved her music and was so psyched to see her in such an intimate setting.

If you’ve never listened to Peaches – its filthy, raunchy, awesomeness. I recommend it highly.
