After the studio, I met up with my friend, Eyoko, who was the fantastic stylist for my video, Obvious.
We grabbed a bite at Bite, which is a cute little sandwich/salad spot on 14th Street—and low-key like we wanted. Eyoko brought me a rose (awww) and we caught up on our crazy lives. Aside from working [...]

Day 1 of my brand new life!
I celebrated New Year’s Eve last night with Dman by having a quiet dinner at home with another couple—very grown-up. He cooked and I did the other (un-fun) stuff, like cleaning the house, rushing to the market for last-minute supplies and so on. We were both cranky all day [...]
