It looks sexy, pretty, gorgeous and so on.

one more qurious thing  is that when I wear high heel, I would be a superstar myself. I do not knwo why,..! It is very important to my life.

Everyone knows that the 70′s are making a comeback, first the leggings then jumpsuits and now fur vests

anyone who wants attention in a fabulous outfit would wear the fur vest except when you buy it you look and be like what would I wear with this thing?

thats how i felt when i first bought it but theres a lot of ways to wear it !

if your looking for a casual look wear it with a ‘flimsy’ tank top and skinyy jeans + knee high boots, don’t forget to accessories.

or if you wana go for dressy wear it with a cute colorful dress and sandals, you’ll definetly stand out!

There are about 400 shops, restaurants and businesses up and down the Union Street shopping district, many are obscured from view and upstairs in the historic victorians.

3. Haight Street

Haight Ashbury was the epicenter of the hippy culture and it could be said, still is. Locals in that time included the Grateful Dead at 710 Ashbury, Janis Joplin at 122 Lyon Street and Jefferson Airplane at 2400 Fulton.

You can still experience the flavor of that era at many of the shops on haight. Mixed in between those shops of the ’60s up and down Haight, high-end vintage clothing stores and a number or exclusive boutiques and many hip restaurants have sprung up all with their own flavor and color.

MY PET PEEVES is a lens about those little things in life that really annoy or frustrate you. It can be things that aren’t designed or made correctly, or things that people do that just frustrate the heck out of you. So what drives you crazy?

I added a few of my pet peeves (which by the time I am done remembering them all will probably turn into a list a mile long – or even more), and now I am going to turn it over to you to let everyone know your pet peeves.

For me cell phones are one of the biggest pet peeves that people have these days. So many people are either loud and rude on their cell phones in public, or use them while driving. And why do some people insist on trying to eat a meal on a plate with a fork while driving too! The world is going crazy – and it’s driving the rest of us crazy at the same time.

Driving! Now that’s another Pet Peeve! There are so many bad drivers around. We have all seen them, maybe even been one…

To let people know your Pet Peeves, just add to the list below. As well as adding your Pet Peeves, be sure to vote for the most annoying things on the list. And tell your friends if you like this lens.

So go on, tell us what gets on your goat. It can be something serious, or something really funny. Do crotchety old people get you down? . We could all do with some more laughter, so please add your Pet Peeve to the list.

Hot topics right now are rude or inconsiderate cell phone users, and rude people in general.

The Fillmore Jazz Festival takes place annually and is the premier jazz event in San Francisco. There are four stages of musical performances along with artists and food vendors lining the streets from Eddy all the way up to and past California Street. I’ve been attending this festival for years. It always attracts thousands of people though this year was jam packed. I have never seen so many people at this event. There were some great acts this year to include Marcus Shelby, Kim Nalley and Spencer Day just to name a few. The music was loud and hot! It was one huge street party. We had a great time and can’t wait again for next year. Below is a photo from the Marcus Shelby performance with special guest Faye Carol. Let me also just say if you even have the chance to see Marcus Shelby in person, by all means do so. They are spectacular!

Whoever Lady GaGa is, she’s absolutely spot on. Nothing should exist purely to oppose something else, otherwise that entity’s existence relies entirely on the existence of the entity it opposes. And also, it inevitably becomes what it hates, i.e, ‘underground’ hip hop(50 Cent), ‘alternative’ rock(Coldplay), ‘punk’(christ, take your pick), etc etc…

Pop culture is a very fine thing potentially. Without it there’d be no Velvet Underground, Roxy Music, David Bowie, Scott Walker, Brian Eno, The Beatles, Talking Heads, Ultravox, and a million other good artists who have benefitted from being popular. Just because there’s not much there at the moment, that isn’t the fault of pop music, that’s just the world we live in. Any interesting figures are being pushed aside or housetrained by the industry in a last attempt to save itself.
