Small is Beautiful

Here are some restaurants I want to check out soon - all small in size, tucked away and cozy.

Boop Oop a Doop!

                                 

This Halloween I was Betty Boop, boop-oop-a-dooping all over town~ from a Brooklyn loft party with great music (and insanely long bathroom lines) to the Pussycat lounge in Tribeca. I made most of my big round face and shimmied and Charleston-ed. The best part of the night was when "Big Spender" (my 18 bun*) came on and I got to be a campy little thing, Jessica Rabbit-style.

I kinda want to cut my hair short now.

                        Compare Betty Cho with the original:

*18 bun - in Korean, for some reason or another, 18 bun (bun = number) means your favourite song to sing/karaoke/generally make a fool of yourself.
