I need to get caught up with these picture posts before they get too old. I still have tons more to upload, but here are the ones from April at least!! April was definitely one of the craziest, most stressful months of my life. Can’t say it was all good or all bad, just crazy! Most of it is too personal to write about here, so let’s be shallow and make this a picture post! :-D
One of the good things that happened involves a certain Miss Roxy of The Epoxies. I LOVE the Epoxies, and by a stroke of pure dumb luck, Roxy stumbled across some of my work and liked it!! She contacted me about designing some stuff for her, so we’ve been working on that. I haven’t really had time to sew shit for eBay lately cuz I wanna make sure the stuff I make for Roxy is good. Cuz I LOVE her. L-U-V.
And I turned 25 last month. The Epoxies were playing on the night of my birthday, so we made it my “unofficial” mini birthday party. Needless to say, I got wasted (stupid Craig making me do shots, and random strangers buying me drinks after Roxy announced onstage that it was my birthday haha).

What’s so funny!!
Gorgeous Roxy!

And last month, Orange got really sick and had to be hospitalized for 5 days. It ended up costing me $978!! She’s better now, thank god. Now she’s back to her usual… lying around the house doing absolutely nothing!

My aunt went to Vietnam last month, so she asked us to take my cousin Andrea to her freshman orientation at Cal Poly. We stayed at the world famous Madonna Inn! Tons of celebrities like Courtney Love and Madonna stay here. I couldn’t capture all of its charm in these photos, but it’s the cutest place ever!! Each room has a wacky theme.
We stayed in the “American Beauty” room.
Bathroom (Hi, Sarah!)
Bathroom (Hi, Lisa!)
Hallway (Hi, everybody!)
Yes… this giant rock thing was an actual part of our room!!
We were trying to do that Beatles cover
Isn’t it gorgeous
My cousins Andrea and Ashley. My sister says, “Inside those pretty little heads lie 2 giant brains.” And it’s true!!! I nearly shit my pants when I found out Ashley’s cumulative GPA is 4.57 and Andrea’s is “only” 4.3. WHAT THE FUCK?! Back when I was in high school, 4.0 was the highest you could get. These girls go to a prestigious private school and are acing all their honors classes!

We found these mosquitos mating outside my parents’ house. Get a room, you two!!

Here are some pictures from my sister Sarah’s birthday! Our birthdays are only four days apart (April 20 and 24), so every year we celebrate together. But this year we decided to have 2 separate parties, which I think was really just an excuse to party twice in one day. Sarah got the day and I got the night.
Matt and Sarah
Sarah and Pei
Me, Kevin, and Big Van
Going home to get ready for MY party! Bye bye!
Dinner at PF Chang’s. Hands off my crab wonton, Matt!!
Kevin, Jade and Ryan
Lisa and Johnny. Great pose, Lisa!
Adorable Matt and Ellie
And most of all, I wanted to thank Colonel Sanders for coming out to my party…
Patrick and Colleen
Boozin’ it up at the Sofa Lounge
Me, Caroline, Sarah, Laine
This looks like it should be a poster for a new WB show called “Sistery Love!” Actually, what really happened is that me and Sarah think we have giant heads, so we make Lisa stand in front. Try it, it works! (Even though my head is still as big as Lisa’s, so I guess technically that means it doesn’t work)
I have the cutest friends in the whole wide world!

Crazy Event #23894938432 for the month of April. Daria got out of jail, and we put her straight to work modeling for my website! Isn’t she STUNNING?!?!?! Don’t be fooled by her cuteness though, you haven’t seen her gunshot wounds!
Patrick wanted to shoot her in mid air, so we kept making her jump off the porch. She broke my favorite shoes! And we didn’t even get the shot!! Haha!
You know you’re Asian when you reach for the lint roller and it’s covered in soy sauce packets.

Here are some pics of Kevin and friends during the book signing for “Disposable” last month. Yes, I know it is dorky that I took sooooo many pictures…. but I am his biggest fan! :-)
Jimbo, Kevin, Sean (the author), and Stevie
part of the line
“I’ll be hanging out in the back with the bottle of wine! See you guys later!”
Mojo, Jim, Jimbo, etc.
Sean and Stevie
Hey Soozee, I took this picture JUST FOR YOU!!! (that’s your book)
Kevin and Brent. Brent is one of my favorite people on earth! He and his wife Lori LOOOOOOVE to eat. They can go to any restaurant in San Jose and the wait staff will know them by first name and give them special treatment!! A few years ago Brent even received a personal letter from the owner of Chilli’s, thanking him for eating there so much. Now that’s what I call dedication!
group shot
Kevin and Stevie
We were making fun of Kevin cuz he designed that logo years ago, and now it’s on clearance for $5!! Oh wait, correction–$4.95!
And his name is last on the flyer too, haha! Like, “Oh okay I think we have room for one more name, sure we’ll put Kevin on it!”
Anyway, it’s time for me to go to bed! I will upload all of this month’s pictures… in August or something.
I know of some one who has a 5.5 GPA. I didn’t even know it went up that high. And there’s a boy in the 8th grade taking algebra II. I probably have like a 2.0 gpa.
Whats a Kato Kaelin??
You and your friends are so pretty.
Kevin (i feel weird calling people I don’t know by their first name..) must like that red shirt or that gun shirt a lot…
I always wear my leopard cardigan or leopard corset top (that I got from you, by the way) top in pictures. So I understand.
I happen to think that $4.95 is very nice and I would buy it if I wore shirts like that.
He’s on I Love the 90’s!!! (i did an image search)
FIVE POINT FIVE?! Are you kidding me?! Man, do I feel like a dumbass or what. Hahaha! My high school GPA was so bad, I’m not even going to tell you what it was. :-D
Kato Kaelin!! Remember the OJ Simpson trial of 1994? He was the star witness. That really dumb wannabe actor guy. He was a minor celebrity for a while, but only cuz everyone thought he was so dumb! Kind of in an Anna Nicole Smith kinda way.
Oh my god, it’s so true that everytime Kevin is photographed, he is wearing one of those 2 shirts, haha! YOu should send me pics of you in the pink leopard corset top. I wanna seeeeeeee!!!!
Yeah, she is really smart. She talked to us about how there are no such things as geniuses and that every one is smart they just have to try hard. And then I was like “I want a 5.5 gpa i need to work really hard!” then i remembered that I want to be a haircutter so I don’t need to try hard.
I don’t remember the OJ trial…I’m only 16. I know him from I Love the 90’s.
Its not pink…you didn’t make it, its from Rampage or something.
Hey, a friend forwarded me a link to this post. I really like your stuff, and I’m usually not the type who just posts remarks like that. But I’m the Epoxies’ webmaster, and this post gave me a super big smile. Just thought I’d say hi and thanks for being such a big fan. That’s all I really am too. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. If you make an Epoxies girly tee, I’m sure I’ll be ordering one.
okay
Oh coooooool!!!! Thanks! I love the website you did for them. How the hell did you get hooked up with THAT job?! And I’m just curious, but who forwarded you my journal? (Just wondering if we have a mutual friend somewhere) :-)
Well, their first website was really really bad (they won’t evcen mind admitting that), and one week I spent about four days making them a Flash site, just because. I was a new fan who’d only seen two shows, and I was looking to get involved somehow. They liked the site, but didn’t want it in Flash, so we worked out a compromise, and there it is. I’m not terribly happy with it yet, so I’m trying to figure something else out soon. But yeah, I just offered a new design and they took it. I got lucky.
The girl who forawrded your journal’s name is Felicia. She’s lucifersamekh on LJ. She lives in SF and does some apparel and fashion work too. Dunno exactly how she knows you.
Oh, also, The Last Supper is one of my favorite movies. I don’t watch a lot of movies, and it’s the only one I know with Ron Perlman in it. So I thought I’d mention that. He creeps me out a bit in that one.
now i want some KFC.
i’m seriously going to the post office in the morning. this dress has been sitting in my room FAR too long.
Shit and I gotta send you some $$$$!!!
your friend kevin? looks like the singer of lamb of god!
Hmmm… I have never seen the singer of Lamb of God, but people tell him he looks like some guy from Orgy, and Ben Stiller! Haha
hey..i hate to bug you over something so little, but i randomly found your lj, and i tried to buy disposable at borders…and their computers are saying its not even published yet! eeks! clearly tho, the books exist :) was a print run done just for the signing, or is borders just retarded?
also, i love your makeup. we could have tons of makeup fun if you lived in the boring midwest :P
Hey sweetie! No problem, you’re not bugging me at all. I feel bad it took me so long to write back, I am really bad at this LJ thing haha! Anyway I don’t think the book is OFFICIALLY released till this summer… but I’m not sure! They released a few last month for book signings, but I’m not sure if they’ve gone public yet. Sorry I’m not much help haha!
Hey Amy. I just wanted to say Hi! Congrats on your thing with the epoxies.
Thanks darling!!
You’re going to think this is the weirdest comment you’ve ever gotten, but are you related to a high school girl named Kristy Doan? I swear, you look just like her.
Haha no it’s not weird at all! People ask me all the time if I’m related to other people with my last name. But no, I’m not related to Kristy! :-)
Awesome piccies Amy!! I have the same garter belt as you!! Christie () bought me one for xmas!!
That hotel room is amazing – I would have never wanted to leave!!
And mosquito porn?? Yes, that’s right folks, MOSQUITO PORN!! From the girl who brought you Ron Perlman fetishism, hot and heavy insect bonking!!!
Oh no, she broke your cute ice skate shoes!!
Cool, we’re garter belt twins! I love that thing too, I wear it over everything!! Hot topic, baby! Haha
That is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.
Haha that’s really how she sleeps though!! She’s so cute!
hahahaha omg. that post made me laugh so hard. ESPECIALLY COLONAL SANDERS! i didnt know you were friends with him!!! IM HIS BIGGEST FAN
:p
Me and Colonel Sanders are good, close, personal friends!!!
I have been told by a couple of people that I should come to you for kryolan makeup. If you do sell it, I saw an auction on ebay a while back for two 6 color sets of eyeshadow and the same seller had another 2 auctions with multiple colors of eyeliner. I wanted to buy them then, but was short on cash, now that I have the money, I can’t find a similar deal. If you can help me, or know someone who can PLEASE let me know, THank you!
Hey doll! Yup, I do sell Kryolan! :-) A full list of everything I have in stock is here:
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZshrinkle
But I can pretty much get you anything you want, since I’m lucky enough to live near the ONLY Kryolan store on the North American continent haha! If you want to buy any of the makeup outside of eBay, I can give you a better deal since I won’t have to pay eBay fees. Just let me know! Email me at amy@shrinkle.net, I don’t really keep up with my LJ comments. Thanks babe! :-)
