Hollywood You Please? Pt.3 - Fresh Ink

Thursday 26th was another large day and night. Pretty sure I ate Wholefoods for lunch, shopped down Melrose then walked into Will Rise hoping for a tat. I was told to ask for Eric, and thats who I got! Took me maybe 15-20 mins to doodle a whole page of arrows to get the right ones. He did a great job, cheers Eric. I booked another tat with Chris Winn the next day at 5pm, I remember feeling pretty nervous about getting 2 tattoos in 24hrs, but fuck it.

That night Choi and I drove down to Torrence to attend the Volcom Bowl Party. That was pretty fun. Drove back to Hollywood, picked up Courtland then partied at Cha Cha's in Silverlake. 

Absolute dude fest that place. I really needed a girl wingman in there! I remember stacking it outside in front of the line-up, then sat in the alley smoking, Hey Telling Michelle in Tokyo. Got my ass back up, went back inside, shot a few tequilas and danced.

When it closed everyone hung outside eating tacos. Daryl was fricken hilarious, made the best exit. 

Great night.

Hollywood You Please? Pt.2- IN-N-OUT-N-AROUND

I woke up on my 2nd Day in LA feeling surprisingly chipper and not hungover which is crazy as we had massive night before.........? Coconut Water is the key people!

What was going to happen today?!

My friend took me to breakfast at The Farmers Market on Fairfax where I saw that actor from Californication, Taylor, who Hank Moody loathes. Then, mid omelette- my Havaianas broke. I had to bare foot/ leg it back to the car. Classy. 

Choi called me as soon as I got back to my apartment saying lets drive to Volcom H.O in Costa Mesa. 

Before I knew it we were picking up skater Aaron Suski from a round the corner then drove down south. I so needed sleep, but the sun was out and hot, there was no way my camera was missing this opportunity.

I got to meet everyone at Volcom, even met a pet 20 week old Falcon named Zola. Random. A storm brewed in and got really cold out. Choi and I went to IN-N-Out, Instagrammed our experience then drove back to Hollywood.

We drove over Arto Saari's house to chill for a bit before getting ready for Mexican dinner at El Carmen. That place was fricken incredible. The Margaritas were insane- take me back there now.

After dinner Choi and I went back to his office and hung out with Rick as he framed up some photos. Nina came over too and we all chilled, talking, smoking, drinking, listening to music. Another great late night.

We were most likely listening to Lana Del Rey or Cut Copy
