Affordable Waxing, Renton Highlands


Q: What's the most popular waxing service?
A: Le Brazilian, darling!
Q: What on earth is that?
A: A Brazilian wax is hair removal from the labia and backside. A client can choose to have all the hair gone or leave a little strip up front.
Q: How much?
A: You sound like a mother in law that I know. It's 55.00.
Q: But I'm scared, how do I prepare for one?
A: I recommend getting a basic bikini wax first, to familiarize yourself with the wax process, and then when you're comfortable, upon next visit, we can go further.
Q: Why do people do this?
A: It's simple landscaping and why do we landscape, to make things look neat!

Q&A with Lady Lam - Topic: Eyelash Extensions


Q: What are eyelash extensions?
A: I have a website with a whole section that explains the process, please check it out by clicking here.
Q: How much are your lash extensions?
A: A full set is 115.00, and I block out 2 hours for the first appointment for consultation, paperwork and the application process which is METICULOUS. And then you get a take-home care kit.
Q: How long do they last?
A: If you want to maintain them, you'll want to return every three weeks or so to get a "refill" - that appointment is 60 minutes, 55.00. During this session, I apply extensions onto your bare lashes and recreate the illusion of fullness, just like your very first visit.

Haunting but beautiful paintings. Anh Duong is one of my favorite artists.

Four Shchore and Sheven Yearsh Ago...

The waspy lock-jaw way of speaking has been an endless source of humor for me and my old coworker when we had desks next to each other at the old boeings company. And then we would try to slip in cuss words like, "That's a terrible shituation, Christine." And then it would snowball into this endless, absurd list of cussing but not really:

Let's visit Massachushits.
Have you seen video of the Space Shittle.
Doing Shit-ups at the gym.
You'd better toss that in the shanitation can.

Finally, someone at the next cubicle had to tell us to "shut up."

Pave Style



I adore the pave style of floral arrangements where flowers are clustered together tightly in a very compact shape. I appreciate it for its symmetry, tidiness and clean lines.

KaNdeeee DreaMzzz


My hard-partying friend Rob returned from Vegas not long ago, and while giving me his usual rant about his poor liver, he expressed certainty of his limited life span and told me he willed his nickel plated tec 9 and low rider bike, "KaNdeeee DreaMzzz" to me. Thank you, Rob. Both shall come in handy, somehow, some way, some day.

Dawn Penn



Ethan, is one of my oldest friends. I recall fond memories of listening to this album at the old Pioneer Square loft, drinking 40s and tending to roommate Ben's house plants. It was a time of rest and leisure, very much like The Hills, except we had no money.
