i just came to say hello... again

For as long as blogging has been around I have created (and neglected, then eventually abandoned) a half-dozen or so blogs. I would write about any and every thing, post photos of my encounters and adventures, and pretty much just shoot the shit... or something like that. A few of them are still somewhere out there in the interwebs for all of the world to see - or perhaps not. Either way, happy hunting and I apologize in advance for any extremely cryptic and/or embarrassing content.

During the past few years of the failed attempts to my own blogging, I found myself writing and blogging for others while working in the wonderful-yet-hectic-but-incredible world of fashion + beauty + lifestyle + music + entertainment PR & Marketing. With this I also found a place to call home just off the popular Melrose Avenue in the (at most times) charming city of West Hollywood. I frequented the shops, eateries, and bars around Melrose long before moving here, but living a stone's throw from the street renowned for all things vintage to couture is an entire different experience - being influenced and being one who influences just comes with the territory. There are some things I love about living here, other things I could live without (adios, Ed Hardy), and some things I love so much that it's borderline obsessive (I'm looking at you, Melrose Place). I am proud to call this place home and, in a nutshell, I guess you can say I have been Melrosed.
