Palin's Approved


Okay, Sarah Palin did not come out of the woods. If all you avid Vogue readers will recall, they had a Democratic and Republican spread in the Feb. 2008 issue. Here, Palin is revealed. Although people may not take her seriously, I think she is doing a damn good job keeping her cool and being herself, even though many will claim she is inexperienced. However, I admire smart, determined women who can get up on stage and take the heat of pissed off, rude people. Check out the zinger below.

Oh, and one more thing that makes me a little upset and mad at liberals is the fact when I am walking around (giving an example when I was in California recently, which is a VERY liberal state) with a McCain sticker on, people were actually yelling at me. I don't disregard any Obama supporters - I respect their opinions and beliefs. I thought California was a free speech state, yeah man, speak your mind. Guess I was wrong. Palin's got my vote.

California Chronicles: Paul Frank RX


Very hot on the streets of San Francisco, these Paul Frank glasses are called 'Beat Poet Holiday' and are the best things I have ever tried on.

California Chronicles: Wine Country

QUINTESSA ROCKED.
great wine, great service, vip tour from Darin, stunning facility


GRAPES
darin's showing me grapes


MUMM WASN'T SO COOL, BUT PRETTY.
bad service and the chick never really explained the wines and sparkling champagne, then left and we had to get service from another server, who then explained the NEW sparkling red champagne you can only buy at Mumm.


PARADUXX WAS COOL.
awesome descriptions of wines and beautiful facilities.



Duh - Go to Cali and not visit wine country? Please. It was the best ever - especially if you know someone who works in the industry. Winery's will either give you a discount or complimentary industry tours and free wine tasting. We took advantage of this. We found in our travels that the best places were Paraduxx and Quintessa. Mumm's was horrible service, although they have a great new sparking red champagne that was to die for. Tastings can run from $20 to over $100 - depending on what winery you visit.




California Chronicles: Graffiti






Ever going to visit San Francisco? If you do and don't want to look like a tourist, wonder over to Haight Street, where all the ex-hippies and Grateful Dead heads lives (you can even visit their homes - Joplin, Grateful Dead, Hendrix, etc). The area has awesome stores like True, Stussy and other urban street wear for your closet. Just be nice to the bums - one whipped out an iPhone on us.
Oh and avoid the Tenderloin district. Sketcccccchy (Jones St. that is), unless you want to buy crack at 1 in the afternoon from a man in a wheelchair.

Would you rather cook a meal or share your meal?


Cali Chronicles: This Man


Driving through the streets of San Francisco - where UC of Berkley is - we came across this homeless man that totally wins for the most fashionable bum I have ever seen. Like seriously, look at his coat, then look at the impeccable red undershirt that matches his awesome red hat. Must have picked through some nice clothes on his way to work on the streets. Next he needs some dentures.
