Inspired by some of my very good friends and their amazing pictures, I decided to take up photography. This lasted 72 hours, after I realized that the digital camera I owned was from 1998, the shutter speed takes longer than dial-up internet, and that I have no money to invest into this (expensive) hobby. Below are about a dozen of the hundreds of random photos I took from three days in Los Angeles last week. Thanks to Poladroid, I was able to make them look cooler than they actually are! ;)

In 1998, I was in France. In 2002, I was in Costa Rica. Four years ago, I was in NYC. This year I will be at home ... And in four years, I am hoping to be in Brazil. Wherever I am watching, I will always love the game and the spirit of the World Cup. Looking forward to Sunday's final match!

Karl reminds us that the lion is the king of the jungle and that Chanel is the king of fashion.

It is my birthday on Saturday and I am hoping for a Chanel dress, YSL pumps and a Miu Miu handbag ... but a cupcake with sprinkles and ice cream would be just as lovely.
