Deklynd is so wonderful at cut and color. I don't trust anyone else with my hair.

I love this store. Their clothes are so, so cute. The girls who work there are super friendly and helpful which is an added plus. There is nothing worse than wandering around with handfuls of clothes in your hands as shopgirls stare at you blankly as they chat to themselves. Not here! They will actually offer you a dressing room and keep coming back to check on you.

Love this place. They have everything!

Ellie and I met by fate I think.

I was setting up a photo shoot with a bride and tried as I could to convince her to hire a MUA. She didn't want to spend the money and so she set up an appointment for a "free" make over at one of the local department stores. Free turned into a lot of money but hey I got Ellie!

Since then, I have used Ellie on several shoots and she is not only the sweetest girl alive but she does incredible make up (and hair). Your skin will look flawless when she's through with you.

She is very professional, a godsend on set and I would recommend her to any one who needs professional make up or just wants to look their best for any occasion.

Ellie now freelances because she is just that good! So hire her!

I think I heard someone yell, "Adele, put your titty up", last night...they were either talking to me or one of the brass ovaries girls. Not a lot of room for modesty when you are a model for the Style Xplosion Fashion Show - not that the Ovaries girl seemed to mind.

So...after a full day of beauty at Anne Kelso (they really worked their butts off - Amanda, Natalie and Danny were fantastic) we walked that runway shaking what our momma gave us. I do wish I had tried the food. And the drinks. But I was just too hot to intake anything besides water.

Best part of the night was making new yelp friends. If I had to be stuck in an oven all night again, I hope it's with you all.

I have to give a minus star for the heat. It was wretched.

I hope you all enjoyed it despite the heat!

The Flying Saucer

This place is in my neighborhood so that's a plus. Long list of beers to choose from and the waitstaff is friendly. Definitely go during happy hour for the extra big beers at regular size prices. This is a nice place to meet a few friends and relax on the patio. Get the potato poppers - those are awesome. And the 512 hefefizen (probably spelling it wrong and spell check is clueless) which is pronounced five one two not five twelve which I always say by mistake..it's an Austin beer hence the 5-1-2. Why can't I get that?

For a chain, they do a good job at disguising the fact. The only bad is that the waitstaff is all female which seems a little Hooter's to me and their poor outfit choice should have been retired back in 1995. Cuz I was rockin the knee socks and catholic school girl skirt waaaaaay back then. How bout some cute shorts/top and some chucks? That'd be way classier.

Huge, America-is-so-fat portions. Tastes a little like a burger you cook on your stovetop - not bad, not great. Props for not being McDonald's. The fries are pretty good.

They have a fancy hand wash station that people seem to enjoy standing in line for.

Save your money. Go to Dan's.

Izzoz Tacos

Yelpers, have you missed me? Cuz I heard you did. In fact, I heard that you missed my reviews so much that in an effort to lure me back you threatened to take away my eliteness. I laugh. Cuz eliteness can not be taken away nor given with a badge. Eliteness comes from within. Sure does.

Anywho.

Ok...so I went to Izzoz Tacos the other day with my husband. We are on a budget these days so we can't always afford a sit down, tip your waitstaff kinda meal. Even though Izzoz isn't exactly in our neighborhood we decided to give something south of the river a shot. I read all about the tasty fried avocado on yelp and that was all I needed to hear - well, read.

Izzoz doesn't disappoint in the filling your belly department. Pricier than we expected but worth it. (full disclosure: we were starved so we ordered more than normal which probably lends to the higher tab) Here's what we got:
(not all names are accurate but you'll get the idea)
the fried avocado taco - good - not my fav - but different
the portabella taco - oh yummy in my tummy awesome - my fav
the del mar - the tilapia grilled taco - this was really good - tip: ask for the sauce on the side as they are heavy handed with it.
the pulled pork - holy pig this was delish
the carne guisada (I think that is what it was - my husband got this one) - it was definitely a meat product - it was good too but i liked the pork one the best
chips & guac: props for freshness, but I like mine spicy and so felt it needed a kick of serrano pepper.

Atmosphere - super cute little trailer stop. The owner (John?) is so nice and I loved that he brought our food out to the table. I wasn't sure what the plan was but he made it easy.

So there you go. Go have a taco.

You happy now?

Kyoto Japanese Restaurant - CLOSED  

Categories: Japanese, Sushi Bars
Neighborhoods: Warehouse District, Downtown

4.0 star rating
1/10/2009
After a kick-ass time at the Yelp Resolution Revolution party at Copa, my husband & one of my favorite gal pals, L, went upstairs to the authentic looking Japanese restaurant, Kyoto. Surprisingly none of us had ever been to Kyoto despite being big fans of sushi.

The service was friendly and fairly prompt considering how full it was even close to 10p. You'll fine a long sushi bar with a room of scattered tables in an open area and then a few more private seating areas where you dine seated on cushions on the floor.

We had the Samurai roll (Spicy Tuna and Jalapeno, Topped with crushed red pepper) which has a great spicy kick along with the Godzilla (Salmon, Avocado and Cucumber drizzled with spicy teriyaki sauce, covered with tempura flakes ) and Alaskan (Salmon, Avocado, Cucumber inside. Rolled in Masago) rolls. Be sure to try the appetizer Chicken Gyoza - chicken dumplings - amazing!!

The price was decent - total bill including alcohol and a few other pieces of sushi was just under $60. We'll definitely be back.

A great date night restaurant - then head downstairs to the Elephant Room for jazz.

I know, I know. I'm late to the party.

Hey, I've been busy.

This place is so awesomely awesome. First, the staff is really nice and don't seem to mind helping you like they do at some coffee places. Second, their coffee is WONderFUL especially the Pacha Latte. Unfortunately, the Pacha Latte ingredient list is under lock and key so hope you aren't allergic to anything in it because they ain't talkin!

What else? The food is actually pretty kick ass. I had a pasta salad the other day and it came with a side for the lunch special. ($6.50) I chose the tamales and damn it was good. They served the tamales with a tofu onion dip. Just say yes.

The place has real character and feels warm and inviting. Patios in the front and the rear. Only draw back is the very limited parking space but ironically we've never had a problem. We've always managed to get that very last spot.

My new favorite coffee spot. Oh and who ever took my frequent flier card, shame on you!
