Very few people have been lucky enough to be immortalised as a hologram. Now you can be one of the first in the world to have a three dimensional hologram portrait recorded of yourself, your family or your friends.

I first tired the sarong as a halter dress but it made me look like a hoochie mama. So I opted for the shrug look. I was stoked to wear a pink shell necklace that my sister picked up for me in St. Martin... I thought there was no way in hell I'd ever have an occasion to wear it
Turkish Delight
Haven’t we all dressed up for a luau party at some point in our life? I hit the Hawaiian General Store on 45th to pick up some duds for Freddie and Lance’s luau party. I couldn’t find a dress that wasn’t a muumuu or just flat out wrong. I opted for a sarong.
I dropped in at the Turkish restaurant/store next door. I was craving Turkish coffee. It took me back to Istanbul. The shop owner invited me to her table and to share her Turkish sunflower seeds.
We chatted about her upbringing, her Laotian husband, her 2 year old daughter, Lakewood, her extended family, Turkey, Korea, how to make Turkish coffee and tea, US military, the War, and so much more... It was nice.
I love the packaging on carbonated water and sunflower seeds.

I was late to my own birthday party. I couldn’t help it – I couldn’t find my camera. I didn’t even have enough time to run to the market to pick up more film for one of my Polarioids. Sadly, I wasn’t able to document much of the fun, fun night. Thanks Izaak for the additional photos.
Party started at Rachel’s.
We all received lovely hats – I opted for the less fancy ones to sport a 'Pigs are good for Iowa' hat. The hats come straight from the Iowa state fair where Rachel picked them up 2 weeks back.
Diane, an amazing chef, whipped up yummy food and baked her famous Chocolate Cherry cake. After dinner, some of us headed to Sunset Bowl to get our bowl on and then of course, karaoke!
You know what I love about bowling – Budweiser in bowling pin shaped bottles and bowling monikers. I go by Coco and my posse consisted of Roach, Jesus, Lola, Bottomsup, Peaches, and Hiya.
Karaoke was awesome but very short lived. Karaoke man stops his show at 1am. It took us a bit to review all the songs in the 3 inch binder. Given he was about to close shop in 15 mins, Kim requested one song that we all could sing. Mr. Karaoke man came over and told us that we were too slow in choosing our song, next time we should show up earlier and that we were the last song... no pressure dude – no really.
Roach, Peaches, Hiya and I rocked out to ‘I Love Rock and Roll’. I wish so badly that I was sporting my Joan Jett hair! We rocked out – we almost started a riot because we were so hot. All the boys in the bar were so lovin’ us. A few crept to the singing area and sang along with us. After our song, Mr. Karaoke man told us we were great, that he loved us, and that we should come again... maybe if he’s lucky.
Although karaoke was over, we continued to keep things rolling. Put money in to the jukebox and we got our groove on. Diane showed us some pimp moves that she learned from her ultra cool co-worker. We were sorely disappointed that they didn’t have Britney Spear’s Toxic, but not as much as Roach. She’s got a thing for Toxic. We all decided that we have one year to perfect a dance routine for Toxic. Can’t wait for 32.
