Here’s their new address:

33 w. Green St.

Pasadena, CA 91105

(626) 583-9109

The store is a smaller space than when they were on East Colorado, but there’s still just as much amazing clothes to choose from!

I bought a couple of dresses there about a month ago that are fantabulous! This one I wore to the Pasadena Chalk Festival (check out more photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/julieklima/sets/72157621300266617/ )

Here is the back. I added the fabric.

Here is the other dress I bought @ Aaardvarks. I wore this to the pre-party for the Pasadena Chalk Festival.

Dress from Aaardvark's $45;Bow tie from Aaardvark's also- $5; wig $25(they have a GREAT selection of wigs!)

My boyfriend James came with me and ended up buying his outfit for the Chalk Festival there too.

James in Aaardvark's clothing-shirt & pants total=$30 or so(I forget the exact amount)

So go check out the new space and buy some unique clothes for decent prices. You’re also helping the environment because it’s recycling

So my friend Scott ( http://tropicostation.blogspot.com/ ) got me into the night hikes in Griffith Park, organized by the Sierra Club—- http://angeles.sierraclub.org/griffith/location.asp . I never really went hiking before and now I LOVE it!!! We’ve also gone to Brand Park and Stough Canyon. He’s my hiking buddy because I don’t know any trails I should probably figure it out on my own, though. In time………

So I’m posting up some photos! Hope you enjoy!

I’m not so good at it. My friend Vera rode her bike to my place, and I decided, after a few years, that I would rollerblade on our excursion to Coffee Bean. So we started off @ Kenwood & Doran…..

The wheels on my skates just don’t like to stop! But I was determined to keep going………We were at a stop light and I went down on one of those yellow bumpy areas without stepping over it and…… BAM!!!!!!! I fell right on my bottom in the street! So funny! I picked myself up, hoping that people were in their cars laughing at me, and we went to Michaels. In the store I put my hand on my head and MY CROWN WASN”T THERE! The look of shock on my face convinced Vera lightning fast that I would perish without it! So melodramatic. So she saved the day and went back to get it!

Vera Valentine saved my crown!

As we left the parking lot, I fell again. But this time I put my crown in my purse. Anyways, it was a lovely day and I was so glad to fall in front of my lovely citizens of Glendale!

Dear Friends,

After my roommate and I watched my recent purchase of The Bodyguard with Whitney Houston & Kevin Costner, we spontaneously decided to go to the strip club by San Fernando- Godfather-The Gentleman’s Club, “Fully Nude”. I planned to go to a strip club for the first time on my birthday (March 26th), but opted for the Red Lion instead. Wise choice! I love my German Pub

So we went on a Saturday night, which I would think is the best night to experience any club. We didn’t want to valet, but even then it was $3 to park on the dirt area next to the club. (For all who don’t know, this strip club is located by the train tracks next to the 5fwy & 134.) $20 to get in. That’s sort of reasonable for a Saturday night. (By the way, I’m typing this at 1am while I watch old episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on hulu.com while eating popcorn & drinking a cold vodka tonic.)

We enter through the red velvet draperies and a cute girl with a yellow thing on greeted us. I’m all nervous because I’ve never been to a strip club before, but she was super nice! I also, of course, wear a crown (a small one, it’s my “everyday crown) whereever I go, so she commented on it. I told her I’m Queen of a Parade. She laughed politely. We sat down (not at the stage). We watched at a table for awhile. Some of the girls were good. Some were AMAZING. One girl went allllllll the way up the pole to the top! I love appreciating a beautiful woman, just like most people. I’m not a lesbian but I am an artist and I like observing people. So that’s why I’m interested in strip clubs.

While we were there for a little less than 2 hours, we saw about 10-12 girls on stage. Now, I don’t really need to see everything, but it IS called a nude strip club. Only 2 got completely nude! If the girls aren’t going to be fully nude, that’s fine, just say it’s partial and serve alcohol! But I believe this club is into false advertisement. So not-so-fully-nude girls without alcohol. Very confusing. A couple of the women were “older” too…….probably 40′s. That was weird. Not that I don’t think women in their 30′s or 40′s are beautiful and sexy, but really……in a strip club?

There was a light crowd in the beginning and more guys came later. Of course they got creepier. There were a few non-creepy ones. All-in-all VERY good people watching! Not really my thing, however. Maybe once a year. Although I liked some of the girls, I was disappointed that I didn’t wait until Vegas to go to my first strip club. Ah, well. I’ll be in Vegas on May 21st!!!!!!!

I hope this was amusing to whoever reads this.

Cheers,

No matter if you are atheist or Christian, it is interesting for either side to listen to this debate.
