I finally managed to upload all the pictures from Yana’s visit last month. AHHHHH we took so many!!
Weeeeeeeee!!!
“Look for us on eBay!”
Ho ho ho
Powerseller porn
Well, that’s all we managed to take before security started to drive by verrrry slowly!
Here we put Yana straight to work in the kitchen on her first night. “That’s right, my little Russian mail order bride. Cook! Cook like you’ve never cooked before!”
We rewarded her for good behaviour by taking her to a cat show the next morning.
But first, Jen had to drop Josh off at the Special “Olimpics”
Jen is not to be trusted!!!
Ugh! I think it’s time for me to get off the computer and go do some situps!! :-(
Waiting for me to come out of the bathroom (Sorry guys!! I pee slow)
Doesn’t this remind you of those crazy showbiz moms who put their 4-year-olds in beauty pageants and insist that the kid loves it even though you can tell the kid is totally miserable and bored?
“Mommy, stop it! You’re hurting me mommy!!!”
Yana says she had never heard of garlic fries before coming to California. What the hell! New Yorkers are deprived!
Off to the flea market!! (Note to self: Berryessa Flea Market sucks now. Boo!)
Ending the day with some yummy Thai food
Josh performs the Dance of the Seven Veils
This is a fucking miracle… Maus is very territorial and usually attacks EVERYONE who comes over. But he loved Yana.
Good Maus!
What’s my favorite color?
Who’s my favorite eBay powerseller?
Romantic sunset
Taking pictures while riding bikes thru intersections = Danger!!
I love this one
America’s next top model
Welcome to beautiful San Jose!
This is where I kill Yana and dump her body
This was really scary. It looks nice in the picture, but in real life it was getting dark and we were scared to go under the bridges because there were creepy people living under them!!
At the SF Moma, where we saw a life-sized paper mache person with an 8-foot turd coming out of its butt. What the fuck is art these days anyway? It kind of pisses me off.
Melisser
Back at Melisser’s house. KITTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One for Beamish
One for Scurvy
Another one for Scurvy
These are the houses from the opening credits of Full House. Er, um, it was Yana’s idea!! She was just begging us to take her there, so we finally gave in.
The next morning, we met up at Yana’s friend’s house in Los Altos to prepare for our Supayana-Shrinkle-Soybaby photo shoot extravaganza world event 2006.
Lovely model Tara getting her makeup done by Miles Berdache!
Yana shows off her exquisite taste in fashionable headwear
The original plan was to shoot on this huge lawn…
…but after thirty minutes of standing around scratching our heads, we decided it looked way too cheesy.
So we drove down to the creek…
…and decided the creek was even cheesier than the lawn.
We eventually ended up at my house. No cheese here!! Just beer and good times!
Soybaby works his magic

Here are some pictures from the karaoke bar last month. Can you believe I’ve never karaoke’d my whole life, despite the fact that I hang out here all the fucking time? I don’t think ANY amount of alcohol can convince me that karaoke is a good idea. But I do love to watch! :-)
Josh, Me, sister Lisa, Kevin
Lisa, Kevin, Julie
Ran into my high school senior prom date, Ryan. Boy I look so thrilled!!!!
Hi Josh!
Yay?
Yay!
Random picture of Maus trying to eat Jen’s pho
Oh, and while you’re at your computer ANYWAY, why don’t you stop on by and bid on some of my eBay auctions that are ending today? Heh heh.. ;-) I scored some really cool vintage 80s prom/party dresses that I know you’re dying for…. So click on the picture below to go to my seller page! Yayyyyy help me and Jen fly to Albuquerque next month to visit a long-lost friend! :-D
All right, that’s all. Sleepy time for me!
“I don’t think ANY amount of alcohol can convince me that karaoke is a good idea. But I do love to watch! :-)”
Amen sista <3
Love the photos!
Whhaaat first comment?
I seriously am the biggest geek ever.
I LOVE your bike.
And the pink purse with the hearts on it from the karaoke pics. I always feel like I’m looking through a catalog with your picture posts, because I always want everything.
Me too..
Especially her boots <3
Godamnit I wish that polkadot dress fit my fat behind, poop!!! Cool pics, that EBay sign scares me, I’m waiting for the eBay corporate people to jump out from under it XD!!!
You’re wearing my dress! yay!
which one is yours?
the green one at the top of the pics.
ah that was a lovely set of photos to look over whilst having my morning coffee!!!
Amy- what are good towns/suburbs of LA that would be good to live in? dont suppose you know any? We’re trying to get an idea of prices!
yayaya shrinkle supayana unite~! my bf always has so much trouble remembering which one is which…i go shrinkle is vietnamese…and supayana is russian! n he can NEVER get it!! i saw that tara girl at salon blu while i was getting my hair did!
But me and Yana look so much alike, it must be easy to confuse us! ;-) heehee
didn’t someone stop us and ask us if we’re sisters??
hahah that is so cute.
Every time you update, you almost make me wish I lived in California. Alas, I know only two people who even live in the entire state. Kinda sad, since I was raised in southern Oregon.
If this Epoxies video thing works out the way I want, I may end up visiting with the band sometime in the next year. If not, it’ll have to wait until I get out of school. Either way, it’s high time I visited Cali.
Ooh cool then we’ll get to meet!! :-D I haven’t seen the Epoxies in a long time, I missed them last time they were out here. Boo!
these pics are way too cute!
wish you have auctions in germany too, so i mustn’t pay so much for send this to germany. so i can’t bit on your auction, but i love this pink corset dress. *argh*
can’t you sell something cute more cheaper?
kisses theminx
I NEED to know where you & Jen got your jackets from! They remind me of one I had when I was like 5 years old! And if you say eBay, please tell me what to search for. ;)
i second that! i wanted one when i was little and i never got it, and i have been trying to find one on ebay forever, but i dont really know what to look up!
Hey girl! We actually both got our jackets on eBay, heehee! I think she found hers by typing in “unicorn sweater 80s.” I didn’t type in anything to find mine, since my friend Suzie (dropdeaddiy) was selling it, and I always check out her auctions. But pretty much anything to do with 80s sweater jackets should work! :-)
*i* don’t know what garlic fries are either! i guess we’re deprived in wisconsin too. =(
And New Orleans.
and new jersey.
*giggle* Now I’m singing the Full House theme song. I’d make you take me there too! :):)
wow, why are you and all your friends so pretty!?
SO MANY CATS! i kind of want to go to a cat show now.
wtf are garlic fries?
i want some!
ughhh cutie!!
♥
Mmmmm garlic fries are the yummiest!! :-D I can’t believe they are only in California. I will never take them for granted ever again, heehee!
It’s ok. I’ll let you and Yana touch my Bob Saget picture.
(Stop being so jealous!)
In other news, I don’t think I’ve heard “LYLAS” since about 5th grade…that fooking rocks. :)
Saget! – Why didn’t you stab him with a fork! O_o
*gasp* I love Mr. Sagat!!! He’s the dirty-mouthed man of my dreams! haha
touched it!!
I never heard of garlic fries either!
Make your friend surrender his Catbus t-shirt so you can Powersell it to me! Ahhhh!
i think i’m pretty much in love with you, your pictures, but especially that pink heart purse. put it on eBay so i can buy it!
and girlfriend, you haven’t lived until you’ve karaoked in a room full of drunks! karaoke + drunks = true love.
Haha thanks!! I got the pink heart purse from Sanrio. I think they just came out pretty recently, so it should be really easy to find one at any Sanrio store! :-)
where is that ebay sign located? thats such a cute picture! ill have to look at the rest when im not on a dial up computer haha
Haha eBay headquarters is located in San Jose, about 15 minutes from my house. :-D
you guys are tooooooooo cute.
i love the lip service revamp you did!

Dude, YOU need to come visit ME!! :-D

TCCIC = Take Care Cuz I Care.
Hello, did you never go to junior high? haha! :-D
wahh so many fun pictures! ebay for the win~!
Great & fun pics! :o)
I ♥ your pink Hello Kitty bike! *____*
Tako has one blue eye and one yellow eye??? COOL! That is like WHiteman. Except WHiteman is twice Tako’s size! Did you read that article in Yahoo how some pure white furred cats w/ yellow or blue eyes are some rare breed in Turkey that need to be saved or something. I gotta dig it up. WHere did you get Tako?
I love that black shirt by Yana. Does she still have some avail for sale? Your ebay pix are awesome. LOL.
whens the next 7bamboo outing?
sweet flix. yo.
Whenever you come down here next, foo! And I promise to actually go next time instead of sleeping, haha.
Ah!!!I wish I could have fun like that!!If I ride my Hello Kitty bike around here, people would either throw rocks at me or say something stupid.Mean people suck!You guys had TONS of fun.Yana makes cute funny faces :D
I have to be reeeeeeeeally drunk to sing karaoke at a bar.I mean REALLY drunk! lol
hehe theyre all so cute <3
especially the ebay ones :P
oooo i LOVE the dresses on auction! ♥
Fehmina x x
In that last picture, it looks like your cat is actually drinking out of her cup with the straw!
I wish I lived in a town with good bike trails. I love bike riding but there are no trails and they make you wear helmets.
ew garlic fries!!!!!
You’re crazy! They’re sooooo good! They taste like seasoned curly fries, but stinkier haha!
yay pictures!
i like to share my drinks with you
There are a million other picture of us that look the same, but I’m too lazy to dig them up!
Catbus shirt! I love it!
All your pictures are awesome, and I wish I had an ebay account.. or was shorter. I have a feeling I’m to tall for most of your clothes. v__v
That’s funny cuz I always wish I was taller!! Every time I buy a skirt or dress that’s supposed to be “mini” it always comes down to my knees, haha.
this is your funniest post and my most favorite of yours so far. the captions were amazing. i like the picture of you lying almost flat down on rocks. and that you guys went to a cat show.
Hahaha we’re crazy cat ladies! :-D
aww..you 2 are soo cute! love it!
You should definately post a picture of you two ‘riding’ the ebay logo on your about me page ;)
Haha already did!! Hopefully next time I get in trouble with eBay, that picture will be sufficient enough ass-kissing to get me out of trouble, haha.
biiiiikes. i need one now that i’m going to live in a fancy house in a neighborhood where i won’t get knifed in!
haha, great ebay shots! good thing you said that the berryessa flea market sucks now. i was about to go this weekend.
i love your bike. =]
It’s actually still kinda fun, but I remember it being a lot better a long time ago. Or maybe I’m just getting old and grumpy, haha!
cute photos. they made me smile.
your hair cut + color look amazing in your new eBizzle ad thing. and your clothes just get more and more m.a. zing
Cool, let’s make out!
we can’t, your boyfriend gets jealous.
Aww, glad u and Yana had fun. You always have fun in your pictures. Love your purple polka dot skirt! The cats are so cute, but I’m so allergic to them =/.
Hihihih such fun!
You got a hello kitty bike! SOOO jealous!
oooooh i saw the poopturd art thing…
Did you get it? There was a tour going on, and I tried eavesdropping on the tour guide as she explained the “art” behind it. I still didn’t get it. All I heard were the words “animalistic” and “primal.” Ugh!!
well, it was an awefully long turd, that is for sure. did you see the others where it was like dismembered people hung on things? it was all some weird waxed paper mache poop stuff.
did you see that crazy thing with all the holes in the wall, and wine bottles hung upside down over cityoflostchildrenstyle high chairs? well, chairs on stilts. whatever. i didn’t get that one either but it was my favorite!
Girl, you & ken remind me of Pucca and Garu. you two are so lovely together.
Yo!
Hahah! I found this post randomly through minkie’s lj, and actually laughed out loud at the Ebay pictures. Great post!
P.S. That Josh fellow is a handsome chap.
Re: Yo!
Haha he sure is!! :-D
Oh yeah, and I dig the clothes in the last pic! Great style!
I love your stuff! I hope to be as creative as you one day. Add me?
Hi!
You girls are so cute! The eBay photos are priceless…as are the girls on bikes!
I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!! :-D
YOU WENT BIKE RIDING WITHOUT ME?! I thought we had something Amy, but you just cheapened it. I HATE YOU!
..but I still love Yana.
Yes Melissa, it’s true! I’ve cheated on you with my Russian mail order bride. Please forgive me and take me back!
I’ll take the risk of sounding like a stalker…I SO wish we could hang together!
Aw you don’t sound like a stalker at all! I’ve seen you around a few other communities, and you seem super sweet! :-)
aww thanks Amy :-)
btw, you might remember me…I bought some lashes from ya, and they had all kinds of weird mail probs and got sent back to you, and then you sent them to me again with frrreeee Kryolan. OH! and I used that in one of my recent makeup posts (you can see in my journal, too) ;-)
Oh, I totally remember you! I’m just slow at making the LJ/eBay connection sometimes, haha! Man you’re so pretty!!!!!!!
Yay! you remember me! lol
And thank you….you’re not too bad, yourself. ;-) I totally worship YOUR makeup & fashion skills!
