Melrose Love & Sunday Afterthoughts…

This week came like the perfect storm. Wow! 8,9 Earth Quake in Japan, Tsunami Warnings in LA and on top of that a busier week in the life of KK than usual. Craziness on LSD. I kid you not. But all things – good or bad must come to an end and so must this Sunday.

Minutes are slowly tick-tocking away as I sit here on the floor in front of my fireplace wrapped in my wife beater, boyfriend shorts and messy locks after last night’s endeavors realizing that in less than a week I turn one year older. And this year I think I can add a tad ‘wiser’ too the book. I learned a lot in 2010. What has 2011 in store for me I wonder….?

Last night headed home from a birthday party in the hills sitting alone all buckled up in the 8 person stretch limo (yeah I know; corny) I had time to reflect a bit…

Living in Los Angeles is teaching me more than I can comprehend at this point. I feel a huge transition. This city is so jaded, hardcore yet fantastic and an abundance of opportunities. It teaches you: ‘If you are going to do it, you better do it all the way, or just stay the f…. at home and don’t even bother’.

NYC does the same. However, LA is another animal to deal with. Business is approached differently. Of course it’s all about the Benjamins in the long run. But the sunshine, the poolside meetings, the white, killer smiles, the highlighted hairdos and tan, wrinkle-free faces add a lot of bullshit to the game (Pardon my French). And you need to know how to go about it. Plus, do not make any mistakes. The big players are right here in this city. So if you wanna make it happen; Welcome to LA! Be prepared to work hard, check your ‘bullshit’ detector and never take ‘no’ for an answer.

Ok, enough of my Sunday ‘afterthoughts’… Here are a few pics I shot with my rock star team photographer Juan & model Tim.
