I’m Bananas.

Here are two separate & almost equally embarrassing events including bananas and Starbucks baristas:

Me: “Iced venti non fat chai please.”
Barista 1: “Will that be all for you today?”
Me: “Can I also get one of those bananas?”
(I motion to the basket of somewhat green bananas on top of the pastry counter thingy)
Me: “Can I touch it?”
Barista 1: “Haha, yeah go ahead.”
(Omg, did I really just say that? While pointing to a banana? They didn’t look ripe! I didn’t wanna buy an unripe banana. You gotta touch those fuckers to make sure. Oh geez.)
(After masterfully getting the ripest banana in the basket, I scurried off to the other counter to pick up my drink and bounce.)

———————————————————————————-

Me: “Iced venti non fat chai please.”
Barista 2: “Is that all for today?”
Me: “Can I get a banana too?…The big one.”
Barista 2: “Uhh…sure.” (hands me the biggest banana in the basket)
Me: “Thanks.” (OMG I DID IT AGAIN! Why can’t I just get a banana at Starbucks and not make the male baristas uncomfortable!?!? What is wrong with me!!!??)

Self Portraits May/June 2011

Shamelessly taking photos of myself during class. We were outside, on a nice day, I was distracted! It was a photo class, anyways.

Taking a walk with the bf, through the desert.

Awaiting my college graduation ceremony. Contrary to my smile, I was so fucking tired and actually sitting on the ground because I was wearing 5 inch wedges and was over standing in line for an hour.

Finally, having my moment on stage and what do I do? I stop, mid stage, to take a self portrait of myself right before I was handed my diploma thingy. Unfortunately, the portrait didn’t quite turn out as I had hoped but it was hilarious.

I will…

So, its been a really long time since I’ve written anything on this blog. This list was actually a list I started in January but never got around to finishing, thanks to school and being super busy. Anyways, I have accomplished or have already set in motion to accomplish these things in the very near future.

Stop going to bed without washing my face.
Accomplished. Check!

Move to Wicker Park this summer and befriend young arty people who frequent cafes, bookstores and antique stores.
Moving day is August 1st. I’m living with a good friend of mine of many years, who I knew and danced with in our high school’s dance company for 4 years. She is arty too!

Make sure the important people in my life know I love them very much.
I hope they do. I guess I need to work on that a little bit more.

Teach my mother how to dance and take her out to a club.
Her birthday wish this year is to go dancing at a club. Her birthday is in a few weeks, watch out boys.

Stop being a failure and get my drivers license this summer.
I found a driving school and will be enrolling within the next week or so. Promise.

You will be sure to see updates on 2-5, since number 1 isn’t really exciting to read about as much as is it to wake up in the morning with a fresh face.

 

My BFA Group Show: Our Own Devices

Being that I am a graduating senior in her last sesmester, I am enrolled in a class called Senior Exhibition. In only 4 short weeks, me and my fellow photographers and some sculpture seniors put on our group senior show: Our Own Devices. The title references that the artists of the show used their own devices ranging from film and digital cameras to saws and hammers.

One of the working titles that was actually quite popular, but we later decided to not use was: Sculptography, A Photure Show.

This was the poster for our show:

The show was on ASU campus at Gallery 100. It took an entire weekend but we managed to have our selves a pretty sweet show, and a packed opening reception on Tuesday night. Thanks again, to everyone that came out and showed your love!

Doodles

I have been drawing in my notebooks for about 6 years now. It all started with a henna book that I started drawing from. If you have ever had a class with me you have most likely seen me doodle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its kind of become a compulsive obsession. If there is pen and paper, I’m doodling away.

Life As I Know It

It would suck to be born ugly and poor. Only the really rich can fix that.

Every Christmas when its time to get the tree, my mom sings her take on the Ying Yang Twins song 3, 6, 9 by singing, “3, 6, 9 its Christmas tree time!”

I recently discovered I’m a pretty good lip-syncer and may want to go pro. If my boo, Britney can do it, I can too!

If you’re wearing a santa hat, epesh at the club/bar, don’t even think about talking to me. Because I will ignore you so hard.

Black Swan was so intense/freaky/amazing. Natalie better win best actress.

I like my leftovers cold.

If I just met you and don’t respond to your endless texting, it means I’m not interested. Get a fucking clue dude! Or you’ll receive a not so nice message telling you stop. K thankzzzz.

Brought wine into the theatre when I saw Love and Other Drugs. Good thing I did because I saw Anne Hathaway’s tits too many times for me to enjoy it sober.

I thought hanging out at a mall was so 1995. Apparently its the place to be on a Saturday afternoon to holler at girls riding the escalator.

Spent a few afternoons at Starbucks being a young hipster with her Macbook and latte.

Boys suck at baking.

I would’ve rather worn leggings as pants and Uggs for an entire year than work on finals. Thats saying a lot because I really really despise both of them with a fiery passion.

“Every pole is a stripper pole.” – classmate H.

Britney Spears is coming out with a new album in March. Pause for my excited dance.

“You’re the help, you do not touch me.” – my mother.

My boss told a litter girl she couldn’t eat her ice cream in our store (duh) and the look on the little girls face was priceless. I loved it.

Don’t forget ladies, happiness is only a hair flip away.

You’re at a club. Change into something other than sweat pants. I know you own a pair of jeans.

I told my new teacher that she can call me Sara Boo in order to remember which Sara/h I am out of the 4 in my class.

Sucks that your girlfriend is ugly.

Legit saw a girl at a bar with toilet paper stuck to her heal.

My roommates drunk ass friend barged into my room thinking it was my roommates room, turned on my lights, woke me up at 2am and used my bathroom. Fucking college.

A really good way for me to not to be impressed by you is to text me, “wuts gud?”

“I just wanna look good enough to get some tonight.” – best friend M.

My gingerbread men are chocolate dipped:

I have a potty mouth, deal.

2. Needles make me hyperventilate.
I haven’t had my blood taken or gotten a shot in years (KNOCK ON WOOD) and hope that the next time they need to stick me, they will do me kindly, and punch me in the face to knock me out. If they don’t, a screaming and crying creature will appear and you’ll want to kill yourself.

3. Self proclaimed dork and sass monster.
I love Star Wars and I’m sassy.

4. I loose sleep over great books.
If I really love a book, I will stay up until 3am reading chapter after chapter. I’m usually a hot mess the next day, but its worth a good read.

5. Being on time means being early.
I have to be early to places like work, the airport, the movie theater and just meeting up with friends, otherwise I get really antsy. For realz.

6. One of my life goals is to ride an elephant.
If I have to go to effing Africa or India, I will.

7. My cheeks turn red when I’m drunk.
And my eyes become half closed. Thats when you know to take the wine bottle away and fix my bangs.

8. I don’t like condiments.
Ketchup, mustard, sour cream, salad dressing, mayo, ect. Yuck!

9. I love having breakfast food any time of day.
Pancakes, scrambled eggs or omelet, sausage and bacon is so delish and is so fun for dinner.

10. Don’t tell me to smile.
Just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean I have to be smiling all the fucking time. So, please don’t ask me to smile or tell me I should be smiling. Bite me, asshole.

Evolution Of The Kill

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Evolution Of The Kill is a rocking band that I have the privilege of knowing and working with. I had a crazy photo shoot with them last spring where we wandered around downtown Phoenix at night, trashed a motel room and got wet in the tub.

Here are some photos from their show at the Copper State Tavern this November:
