Freezing Our Twinkies Off

So we arrived safe and sound in New York last week, despite the freezing cold temperatures and snowbanks everywhere.  Ebony had her first Twinkie, the sun came out and now the exploration has begun...

 Freezing my buns off, but ready to take to Manhattan...

The fine streets of Chelsea

Ebony and Oli, just before they stumble upon the best winter coat sale in the world.

 An old train track turned into a park...Oh NYC, you are so green!

The toughest parking attendant ever

The first and last twinkie

Sure, I'd love to live here

Look up, look way up...intricate detail is everywhere

I think ebony loves food haikus

Tom's, the best American food in town....

And some gorgeous decore....

but beware, you may leave with a food hangover, even if you are not in the lease bit hung over at all!

classic!

One Last Breath

 

A kangie with a baby a little too large for carying in her pocket

intimates on the line

The front yard of the farm house

The flooding begins....and so the fun begins!

  

  

Anytime one is required to put on rubber boots, one is bound to have some fun!

The sheep in the sunshine after the rains

This could possibly be the best place on earth

Fresh & wild mushrooms and rosemary cooked on the open fire

  

  

  

  

Fresh rocket & asparagus from the garden

One last swim before heading back to civilization

Even on the last night in Sydney, we found a cute and cuddly furry friend!

Until next time...

Best Brithday Presents Ever

Before I get carried away and dive too deep into 2010, which is already starting to move at the speed of light, I want to catch you up on one of the best things of last year.

As some of you know, Ebony and I are actually like one super human, and just as we do almost every single thing together, we were almost born together too!  Crazy!  So for our birthdays which are 3 days apart in December, we had to plan something big!   I secretly had all Ebony's beautiful friends and family come together and buy her a big fat plane ticket to Tokyo for a reunion with friends and a super duper party we used go to called MEAT (whole story on this very soon)!

So a few days after our big birthdays, we were off to Tokyo to celebrate!!!  It was so good having the old gang all together again partying like it was 2006!   (hmm just doesnt have the same ring as 1999!?)

Ebony and Yohei (aka flash) seeing through the same eyes

Eb with our favorite dads and Yulia. We always end up at this cheapie izakaya in Harajuku and everytime we roll out of there stuffed and drunk and only the slightest bit poorer.

Make Believe for everyone!!! Akira and Momo showin' us their faves!

We treated ourselves to Japanese style gel nails at Peek-a-boo in Harajuku. Best investment of 2009.

The new game pick up nipples....fun for the whole family

This is what happens when there are clippers backstage at a club...everyone thinks they need to get a buzz cut! Lucky for you boys it doesn't look half bad!

signature family photo

Three of the main men in our lives...Leon, Kosuke Adam and Magu

Bringing your own birthday cake to a classy fashion party is always a good move!

Me and the oh so wonderful Mr Dan Baily from Tokyo Dandy.

Every trip to Tokyo it is manditory for us to eat enough kareage (fried chicken) for a lifetime...yummy!!!

freezing sad goodbyes

One year older and yet we will never become less silly....it's just too much fun!

P.S.  thanks to all my friends for loving me too...they all got me a nice new Ricoh camera for my big day.  Now I have nothing to distract me from documenting all the moments of our Make Believe lives!

Two Thousand and Tender

Happy Happy New Year!
 We owe you an appology!  We have been terrible friends for not filling you in on our Make Believe lives for a while now.  So I just want to say sorry and get ready for a little ketchup (catch up)!  We have been back in Tokyo, and all over the map so we will share some pics and funny stories with you this week!
