Once you've got your *sparkle* fix at Tarina Tarantino...
you can walk next door, and get your *sweet* fix at Johnny Cupckes!
You HAVE to see if for yourself....he went all-out on the inside of his shop,
so GO!!!
7959 Melrose Ave, L.A.
NOTE: He does not sell cupcakes people, heehee!
The thing about Johnny Cupcakes is...
he's LIKE THIS *crossing fingers* with his fans.
He's got his signature Johnny Cupcakes shirts & accesories,
but also comes out with Limited Edition t-shirts!
Those ones are GOLD, because once they are gone...they're gone.

I've been a fan of Johnny's for a while.
You may have caught him in Juxtapoz Magazine.....
So it was a total *delight* to finaly meet him at Tarina's Barbie party.
When I told him I loooooove 1950's everything.
He couldn't help himself, and HAD to show me something in his new shop next door. We left the party for a sec.....
Eyes closed and everything....took me to the front, and *TAH-DAH!!!*
A HUUUUGE 1950's oven at the back of his shop!
He picked the right girl to appreciate it, and that's for sure, haha!
Another thing about Johnny Cupcakes is....he's just so lovable!

Johnny Angel yo.

If you don't like him....you're probably straight evil, haha!
I'm gonna call him Johnny Angel....like the 50's song....it's fitting.
JUST turning 26, and a true inspiration for many...including myself.
Making a good example for a drug/alcohol-free person.
Dosen't accept a person putting their nose up in the air with success...
you just have to get to know him through his Blog and see what I mean.
*Johnny Cupcakes Blog*

In being the quality person he is.....
his loyal fans started camping out Tuesday for his Saturday, August 3rd opening!!!
He met every last one.
Even had the first ones go out back for good eats & a/c in the VIP!
Who does that in L.A.?! haha!
Johnny Cupcake does....he's sweet like that.

I went with one of Johnny's Boston friend's Jim Sylvia.
Jim's another great guy, and super-talented tattoo artist.
Get your next tattoo from him here: *Union Electric Tattoo*

This was taken before the madness.
He's an 80's kid for sure....so I gave him The Neverending Story "Auryn"
For his new Aventure out here in L.A., heehee!

My girlie-friends and I headed out to Downtown Disney 'cause Tarina was doing a signing for her new Barbie and accessories collection.

Audrey Kitching
Anna Estella
Janet (who did my FAB hair)
Bexy James

AND I had to check out the Tarina Barbie I drew!
It was blown up life-size and put on display at The Vault's windows,
which was completely surreal, because growing up, I'd never thought my art-anything would be on display in anything Disney right?! heehee!

Ofcouse I have to give a HUGE credit to Tarina Tarantino for even giving me that opportunity and chance!

If you haven't heard, she's my mentor.
What does that mean? Well....I'm lucky enough to get priceless creative-business info from the *Sparkly Queen* herself.
I love that she believes in lil' ol' me....but what's 10x cooler is she's everything you'd expect her to be in "real life".
Completely focused, down-to-earth, and so nice to be around.
I think in everybody's journey to success, you have somebody impressive really take a look at what you're about and help you out if/when they can.
Tarina is that for me.
Her decision in picking me to do her Barbie art is such a HUGE highlight in my journey to where I dream to be!

I pretty much O.D.'d on eye candy at Jared Gold's Czarnia Fashion Show. The clothes, the hair, the audience, the celebs that were there.
Tons of fun!

I went with Ava Garter (in the black Betsy Johnson dress) and Anna Estella (in gold).

Jared's got the up & coming of all up & comings in his models.
They're all in a creative field, and ROCKIN' at it.
One that I've been lucky enough to be around is Audrey Kitching who is the sweetest person that hustles and jumps through hoops to make things happen for herself. How can you not love that in a person?
Her style is ever-changing, and ever-followed by her fans. :

I FINALLY got to meet Rose Apodaca who I had heard about time and time again from my friend Anita.
Well I tried to help out my friend, and Rose was more than sweet to me BACK!
I thought she was just gonna put the picture up, but what she wrote about me, is priceless. All my friends and family are speachless. *Too Sweet*
