I want to be a STAR

January 8th, 2011

Having once been a rising pop star myself, I can always sense the kind of ambition and good looks that lead to success and super stardom. Case in point. Richard, one of my dear readers , submitted this self portrait premiering his NEW look for 2011. This is BEYOND new. This look is so fresh and now that I’m sending it over to my friends at The Satorialist!

EAT – Dynamo Donuts

January 7th, 2011


Donuts are back. Long live donuts.

This week, a friend and I finally visited Dynamo Donuts which was opened by Sara Spearin who previously held illustrious pastry posts at Liberty Café, Bi-Rite Creamery and Stars, to name just three spots.

Aside from their exquisite  coffee, we indulged in their apricot cardamom, lemon pistachio, ginger orange, maple glazed bacon apple, vanilla bean and chocolate rose donuts…a delicious and well balanced meal indeed!

*****5 million stars

DYNAMO DONUTS 2760 24th Street in San Francisco’s Mission District. They’re closed Mondays and open from 7am – 5pm, Tuesday-Saturday and from 9am – 4pm Sundays. If you’re hoping to nab the maple glazed bacon apple donut, be in line before noon!

The First Annual Hard French Winter Ball

OOHHH…A weekend of soul music debauchery, performance and a formal dance party at a haunted lodge in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Sounds like my kind of fun. I like Hard French. I like the music. I like the energy. I like the unpretentious mix of people who attend. I like the french kissing  on the dancefloor. Tickets are selling in advance at Evenbrite

PRAY Be Water NOW!

January 1st, 2011

I know…you’ve all been waiting for it. Here is your official EPF survival guide for navigating  2011. Brought to you by Bruce Lee.

Empty your mind

Be formless…shapeless. Like water

Now you put water into a cup..it becomes a cup

Put it into a teapot..it become a teapot

Now water can flow or creep or drip or CRASH

Be water my friend

Have you ever wanted an original Rex Ray, but felt you couldn’t afford one? You are in luck, and just in time for the Holidays!

They’ve rescued some “orphans” from Rex’s studio. These are works that are were lovingly made, but forgotten. Rex was set to destroy these little gems to make much needed room in his studio but our intrepid team saved these jewels from certain violent ending. Some are a bit older others have very slight flaws, but all have his distinctive and much coveted appeal.

The Radical Faeries present The Kasbah Caberet

November 29th, 2010

If you missed it last year be sure to get your tickets in advance

The dates: Two nights!! Friday, December 10th and Saturday, December 11th.

A Kasbah Cabaret will be an evening of magic, entertainment, harem boys and girls and sumptuous treats. Put on by The Radical Faeries of Santa Cruz, you can expect the unexpected.

I know from insiders that there will be a full blown re-enactment of the Nativity  and the show will be hosted by Prince Mikalini who is flying in from Dubai!

The show will benefit the Santa Cruz Diversity Center and Radical Faeries.

The place: Live Oak Grange Hall, 1900 17th Avenue, Santa Cruz

Given the intimate venue, there’s a good chance both evenings will sell out… may be a good idea to get tickets sooner rather than later.  [$25 per person, including the tasty morsels, the edible ones that is.]
