Sans Soleil

Sunday in Manhattan, 20 year-old supermodel, Ruslana Korshunova stepped off her 9th story apartment balcony, plunging to her death. Police ruled her death suicide, and as with all suicides, we among the living ponder the suffering as we morn the loss.
Ruslana’s friends and family remember her being happy, yet messages found on her computer reflect [...]

Blogger In Action…

…
Some people look very dignified when they are working. Me, I don’t know. Photographers look cool as they know how to handle a camera. That’s me, taken at the Lancome Magnifique event by Benjamin Boccas. Mr. Boccas, a fine photographer, has taken a liking to bloggers, by making beautiful portraits of them. If you [...]

Views of California from the road…

Rocky and I have been on the road for what seems like three days straight. Driving down to my parents house in Southern California was particularly beautiful this time. Perhaps I’ve never been down the I-5 in spring? The hills are green and the clouds were particularly puffy. Just such a nice treat for the [...]

Auf Wiedersehen San Francisco…

I am so sorry for being out of touch lately. It’s been crazy this week… going around the city doing things, and feeling like I still have tons to do.
This isn’t my first international move, in 2000 I moved from San Francisco to London, and three years later I returned. So, I’m feeling like this [...]

Moving Sale : Saturday

If you’re in San Francisco… stop by and meet me, I’ll be having a moving sale in front of my building. I tried to do the eBay thing, and as easy as it was, I still had a difficult time getting everything together and mailing… etc.
So I’ll have a lot of my wares,  things I [...]

The Coveted is One

Today The Coveted is one year old, actually, on the 19th… and for some strange reason I had it in my head as the 20th… there goes my mind. So much has changed in the last year, and most of it is because of this blog. I feel like my life is changing course, [...]

I’m selling all my stuff and moving to Germany

It’s true. I bought the ticket, turned in my notice at work. I’ll be leaving in March…
Going to Europe for love, and for love of adventure. You know, I thought I’d never fall in love again, nor would I ever leave San Francisco… It goes to show how vivid my imagination is. But everything seems [...]

I do like drawing

Well, It was bound to happen…. I wrote a feature article in a fashion magazine. Zoot Magazine, based in Lisbon, asked if I would write an article for them, at first it was a small one, but somehow it grew. I had no idea.. 4 pages! Anyway, I have long been a fan of Ian [...]

Grandma’s House

Today, after 47 years of living in their modernist Eichler home in Sunnyvale, California, my grandparents, Bea & Ralph, are moving to Hawaii. It’s a strange feeling, because my whole life, they have been there. Yesterday, I was saying ’see you later’ it was bittersweet, because it’s the end of an era in my [...]
