wedding attire

I attended weddings on back to back weekends.

The first wedding that I went to was three weekends ago. It was your traditional wedding. The groom was a friend of mine.

I hadn't attended a wedding in a while.


There was nothing particularly special about the wedding. But I did notice some of the guests were wearing unusual attire for such an occasion. Two of them allowed me to take a photo of them.


This lady in red turned a lot of heads. Her dress barely covered what was below her waist. By the way, she was impressive on the dance floor.

This dude wore shorts and sandals to the wedding.

aerobic workout

A friend of mine enrolled me in an aerobic exercise class this week. She wanted company. I wasn't too crazy about going to an aerobics class. But I went anyway. I did it as a favor for her.



After a long day of work, I did not look forward to going to class. After giving it a try, I realized that the class wasn't so bad. I think I will give it another week.


You don't want your package to be bouncing around in class.



floral design above LA

If you are ever in LA, you got to drive up to the top of the Santa Monica mountains. The hills above Hollywood are my favorite. The views of the city from there are absolutely fantastic.

I did a photo shoot for Meagan from the deck of a house in the Laurel Canyon area the other day. The area where the house is located is gorgeous. And very expensive.



The house belonged to a friend of a friend of Meagan. Meagan managed to get permission to do a photo shoot there. We were only given a short time window to do the shoot though. Obviously, we took advantage of the views that the location offered.


I would love to have a house up there.


As for the clothes, this photoshoot featured clothes with a tropical floral motif. Meagan got her inspiration from the aloha Hawaiian spirit.

Beverly Hill-billy

Last Sunday I had a rare shopping spree in Beverly Hills. I hit all of the high end department stores. Then again, what store in Beverly Hills isn't a high end store.

Fortunately, I was able to put all of the bills on company expense. Meagan needed me to shop for some accessories for a project that she is working on.


It had been a long time since I last purchased anything at one of those department stores.


I was a bit surprise that the stores and streets were not crowded at all. Maybe the usual customers were at the Oscars, or at home watching it.

 Tyler tagged along because he is part of the project. It is a casual place, but I don't know, maybe Tyler might have been a tad underdressed. In any case, he was quite excited about shopping at Saks.




Although I didn't intend to, I did wind up buying something for myself. This tank top and shorts outfit caught my eye. It looked somewhat quirky. For some reason, I felt compelled to at least try it on.

The short shorts were intriguing. Tyler encouraged me to get it.

the store had very nice changing rooms.



I bought the outfit. It was actually affordable.

It is a good outfit to wear for a stroll around the neighborhood.

Going to medical school

 I went off to school today. Medical school, that is.


No, I am not going to become a doctor. I'm not that smart. Although I can dream, can't I? Doctor Colin, I like the sound of that.

Actually, I was trying to gain new customers. I have a friend who is an orthopedic physician at the Ucla medical center.


I paid him a visit today, hoping that he will refer some of his patients to my practice. His work and my work are complementary. His patients could always use some good massage therapy.

I did some favors for him recently. And I brought some gifts for him and his partner, as further enticements. It was a productive visit.


I met this dude while I was on the campus. He is a med student. I was checking out information about seminars about orthopedic medicine and massage therapy. I bumped into this dude. We struck up a conversation.


I noticed that he was wearing cut off shorts. You don't see a lot of guys wearing cut offs. He looked more like an undergraduate than a med student.


As for me, I went with a business casual look. After all, my visit was for business.

Flannel

So far, I have had a busy week. But I managed to find time to hang out with my bud Tyler today.

I always look forward to meeting Tyler because I am curious to see what kind of fashion statement he will be making. He is not a conventional dresser. I admire that about him. Gives me inspiration.


By the way, I went with the badass look today. I wanted to change things up a bit. Some of my clients liked the look. Others not so much. They preferred to see me in bright colors. 


As for my meeting with Tyler, he didn't disappoint. He wore an outfit that I myself wouldn't wear in public. His flannel shirt barely covered over his privates. When I first saw him, I wondered if he was going commando.

Cloudy and sunny

We have had a lot of cloudy days recently, with a few wet ones.

I don't like the gloomy look of a dark overcast sky. Besides, LA is so much more picturesque when it is sunny.

I have a client who lives near city hall. He has a great place with a balcony that provides beautiful views of the civic center area.

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon. You can see how beautiful the area looks with a blue sky in the background.
