Femme Fatale Tour

I saw Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj last night at The Rose Garden. Amazing show.

I dressed as White Trash Britney, Becca went as VMA Slave For You Britney.

Ash went as Fedora Britney

This is how you open a concert!

Turn the volume down - it's live and all bass. Jump to 1 min

After an evening of dancing to disco, (yes, I attended a Disco & Reggae party at East Chinatown Lounge), a couple of friends and I decided to get some planks in. Enjoy.
All taken in down town Portland, just outside of the Chinatown district.

Megan, taxi planking.

Disco-Reggae party

Yes kids, another costume party with a fantastic theme. We hit up East Chinatown Lounge for the musical enjoyment of 70's Disco meshed with reggae coolness. Between sweating and smoke breaks, collectively we decided to bring the party out into the streets.

And this is how sidewalk parties were born...

Mickey Avalon

Mickey Avalon skanked up Dante's - and it was awesome!! This was my first time seeing Mickey live. He has a crazy following and just as crazy background: he used to walk (ahem, work) the streets of Hollywood Blvd.

Turn the volume down before you watch the video - it's live, it's loud and it's all bass.

Words to live by

I look at this and I know I should do the following:

1. Stop giving more credit to people who have not earned it. Romanticizing their qualities or character does not triumph their actions. If they do shitty things, they are shitty.

2. Over analyzing my future - it hasn't happened yet so stop sweatin' it.

3. Tell the people I appreciate how much they matter... more often.

4. Stop caring that I sleep in. Most of my life I was up early, working a lot and thinking that gave me value. Wrong. How I treat people, how I chose to be more patient and learn gives me value. Not how many hours I spend working or how many jobs and tasks I juggle. That just makes me burnt out.

5. To stop fighting the urge to sabotage something cool just because it hasn't worked out in a long, long time. Be reasonable. Be logical. Not all men lie. Give 'em a chance to screw up, instead of labeling them as a screw up.

Being epic has a lot more to do than just your profession. It is a balancing act. To do epic shit, one must be epic. A champion. Be your own hero. This quote makes me want to be a better me. Period.

Do
Epic
Shit.
