interview on asian american blog ”dumpling magazine”
I love the headline for this interview I did with Dumpling Magazine. Here’s hoping it comes true. In other news, I’m wearing the same grey sweatshirt today.

I bought this dress in Florence two years ago and the necklace is from Chris. Alleyway and pretty colors at dusk courtesy of LA. Photo by Eddy Vallante.
My friend Eddy looking sharp for the premiere of his short film EPILOGUE at TriBeCa Film Festival.
Spent the weekend shooting new episodes of Stupidly Simple Snacks with Mixtape Club and our friend Eddy. The show has been on hiatus for over a year now while I focused on work, life and doing my best to navigate, and then integrate, the two.
It’s been a long while since the last episode of SNACKS, but I’m excited to say new ones are in production with Cooking Channel.
So, stay tuned!
Deviled eggs, stuffed shells, meatballs, potato salad. French onion soup crostini. Grey sweatshirt over my favorite dress. Pink socks. Purple hyacinths. Banana cake. Yeti the Abominable Snowdog. Jack barking. Mittens hiding under the bathroom sink. Homemade party hat with gold glitter and confetti. Bourbon. “Wild” champagne. New friends. Old friends. Chris’s friends. Full apartment. Full heart. Full plates.

happy birthday merry christophermas
A little over a year ago, Chris and I decided that being together would be a good idea. But it wasn’t really a good idea because I was already in a relationship. Still, there’s never a “good time” to break up with someone you care about to be with someone you’re in love with, so the only responsible thing to do was to do it. On an otherwise normal Thursday in early November, Mittens and I moved out of the apartment where the old relationship lived.
Chris’s birthday is on Christmas Eve, which was fast approaching following the first days of our (very) young relationship. It’s a birthdate people usually forget, he said, or combines with holiday celebrations. We were only dating for a couple of weeks when I asked what he was doing for his 30th to which he replied he had nothing planned. At that point, I hadn’t even met most of his friends yet.
I found their emails anyway. With a bit of planning and a few white lies, I organized a surprise birthday gathering at Manhattan Inn, now one of our favorite bars — complete with live piano! — in Greenpoint, near his apartment which I “officially” moved into in January.
One year, two apartments, three adopted animals and at least forty arguments later, we arrive at our second Christmas Eve together, his thirty-first birthday.
We celebrated a few days early with a feast at Legend, his favorite Sichuan restaurant in New York City, and cheesecakes from Magnolia Bakery.
Like last year…
It was a surprise.
Though we sometimes become impatient with each other and bicker like curmudgeonly old people, the last thirteen crazy months has also been my happiest.
Happy birthday, Mr. Smith.

Amazing shoot coordinated by Chris and his good friend Eddy Vallante for Metric’s new single Synthetica. You couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful sunset or more fun event.
