Thank You

When I first started getting into purses, one of the biggest problems I had was the snobbish attitudes of the SAs. Sure they probably see plenty of rich people but that doesn't make them rich and even if a person is wealthy...that doesn't mean you get to be snobby (I wont even get into the other category...people who like to act snobby because they think they will one day marry rich). So anyways, in the years that I've had to deal with snobby SAs, I've learned how to deal with them...basically it boils down to this: I'm the one spending the money here so if anyone is going to be picky, its going to be ME. I've learned to ignore the looks from SAs and I usually only like to buy from SAs who are nice and will actually take the time to ask if I need help instead of just writing me off as a browser. Whats even better than being nice to every customer?? Writing thank you cards to those who buy from you. Thats one helluva way to ensure that I wont ever go to another SA. This year I got thank you cards from Mulberry and Chanel and I can say I will probably never go to another SA again. Its such a simple and yet considerate gesture, I'd have to be heartless to ever buy from someone else. And so...being snobby for no reason gets you nowhere and a little common courtesy will get you lots of extra commission :D

I. W.A.N.T. N.O.W!!!!

I want these boots NOW, NOW, NOW!!!! OMG...I'm dying right now...those damn side buttons are too much!!! Its available in my size but for $1745!!!! Thats like a decent bag or half of something really nice from VC&A :( If my dad thinks bags are a waste of money, I'm sure his eyes will roll to the back of his head when he finds out that I would be willing to spend $1745 on a pair of shoes. *SIGH* Dont worry, I wont be impulsive and get these although I'm experiencing chest pains at the moment. I'll save my money for my Bottega :P Shoes are one of the most torturous things ever created. So many styles and colors and materials to choose from yet the minute you put them on and walk around in them, there goes your money...all down the drain! Shoes are probably one of THE hardest things to try to maintain...I know I'm terrible at keeping my shoes clean or free of scratches...I'm even bad when it comes to my bags (just ask my mom whose been busy "restoring" some of my old bags that I recently "handed down" to her...lol). After my shoe splurge awhile back, I've been really good about staying away from shoes although there are these Chanel pumps that have my name written all over them!!! Eck, anyhow...at least I can say that the metal tip of these boots are kinda off...there, I feel better already :)

Oh Lanvin...

Sorry the pic is kinda small. Anyhow, I adore Lanvin but I seriously think they have some OVERPRICED shoes. $500-800 flats and $1000 pumps. For example, take a close look at this ugly shoe we have here. Its basically the satin flats with a awkward strap and stumpy heel. The flats go for about $500 but BNY usually puts them up for sale at 50% off. Any guesses as to how much more it'll cost you to have the flats with a strap and heel?? I hate guessing games so I'll just tell you. $240 more, making the grand total $740. WTF?!?!? Seriously, those uber sexy YSL platform pumps are $795 and they are WAY more worth it than these atrocious things. I mean Lanvin flats are expensive by most standards but its a staple and so we've come to accept it but I refuse to buy into this whole expensive ugly shoe crap. Yuck.

Current WANT List

I'm trying to be good about shopping but that doesn't mean I can't generate a WANT list! Currently I'm dying for those platform YSL shoes that I've been talking about for months now. Although I doubt I'll get them, I'm still madly in love with them. A new Mike & Chris leather jacket has also been on my list for awhile now. I dont really wear the one that I have since the sleeves are kinda too puffy and I would prefer to get one with a hoodie :) I'm counting on my dad to start off my jewelry collection with something from VC&A...at this point I'll take anything; bracelet, ring, necklace...I want them ALL so I would be happy with any of them. See, easy to please! And finally, my dad told me that my dark silver 2.55 is my last bag "in the near future" but he doesn't know about the Bottega that I special ordered :P I'll keep that on the DL but in the meantime, I've already decided on the purse to get after my Campana arrives...the Muse (large) in ostrich!! This bag will probably have to wait til 2009 and I haven't really picked out a color yet...I'll probably have to do some research on what colors they have available and all that fun stuff :P

PS: I have a billion other things that I could've included but these are the top 4...

Accessorize!

Every time I see someone rocking layered necklaces or bracelets, I'm instantly envious. Its not like I dont have a ton of jewelry at home (esp when LN is my friend) but I guess I'm just not in the habit of accessorizing myself in the mornings. That should be a new fashion goal of mine...ACCESSORIZE!!! Well I guess I would have to wait until Feb of 2009 cus thats when I get to take off my good luck necklace and bracelet that my mom made me wear for good luck this lunar year (yes, how very Chinese of me...). I should probably also take a look at my current jewelry collection and try to think about what goes what which outfits, which things to toss, and what I need :) OOOhhh...a light bulb just went off in my head...I should talk to LN about making a layered necklace or bracelet!!

Why Pink?

I was never a fan of the Stam bag because well A. Everyone and their mom had one and B. Its a dated bag. Anyhow, I'm glad MJ upgraded the Stam to ostrich because you all know how much I LOVE ostrich but I have to say...WHY PINK??! Why this bubblegum pink??! I like the chain and I like how he exchanged the quilted look for pleats but the color is just so...pink :P My infamously bad experience with my pink Dior Boston bag taught me to never ever hand money over for anything pink ever again. I feel like pink itself is a dated color. Anything that is ever made in pink is usually a part of a trend that lasts for only a few months, not to mention, pink usually doesn't go well with a lot of things and so you can't use it all the time. Theres a perfect Chinese word that would describe the way I feel about pink...I can't find it in my dictionary right now but the closet English equivalent I can think of is "tacky". While cute on elementary school kids, after a certain age, its very easy to look tacky in pink. And so to spend $5000 and to risk looking tacky?? No thanks dude.

Chanel Charm Bracelet

Last week when I was waiting for my Chanel SA to finish wrapping up my new 2.55, I took a careful look around at all the jewelry that was on display and fell absolutely in love with the charm bracelets. If you know me, the you'll know that I'm a huge sucker for things in miniature...must be the Asian side of me. And so it makes perfect sense that I would be smitten with miniature No.5 perfume bottles, nail polishes, combs, mirrors, etc. When I asked my SA about the bracelet shown here, which has all the charms, she told me it runs for around $1000 and the bracelets with only one charm go for about $400. Ehhh, I'm still not totally sold on collecting jewelry just yet and so I have to say...I would rather save the money for something from VC&A (or maybe my ostrich Muse) :P

How Often Do You Shop?

Today one of the marketing ladies at work asked me "Do you shop nonstop??" I had previously talked to her about how I like to shop when I'm not working and so her question wasn't so far fetched but it did get me thinking. How often do I shop?? I told her "Heh...kinda?" I definitely dont shop everyday or even every week but I guess you could say I buy something related to my closet at least every other week?? Before I was really good and would plan out my shopping sprees so that they were a few months apart. Ever since I got stuck with a cubicle job, online shopping just kinda ruined everything. When all it takes is a few clicks, how can one not shop while sitting in front of a computer 40 hours a week?? I think another reason why I have so much stuff in my closet is cus when I do go shopping (in person), I tend to REALLY go shopping...meaning I tend to buy a lot of stuff all at once. So there you have it, I shop not everyday but at least once every other week usually via the internet and when I do go shopping, I go all out and stock up on everything imaginable :)

One Year Of Blogging

I was bored at work and decided to check when I started this blog and was quite surprised to find that I began writing this blog one year ago today. Weird. Anyways...I've thoroughly enjoyed my year of blogging and though at times it takes some work (mainly browsing the internet), its a great way for me put my opinions out there. Though I know I've managed to gain a stalker or two or three because of this blog, for the most part, my readers have all been very supportive.

As a note/disclaimer, something that I've been meaning to say...I do have strong opinions, especially when it comes to fashion. If at any time my comments offend you, sorry but they probably weren't meant to be personal and certainly not directed specifically towards you (well, okay fine...at times I do take advantage of this blog since I know who reads it and who doesnt but still, for the most part my entries are not for anyone in particular...) :P Take this blog as a leisurly pastime but dont let what I have to say bog you down. Fashion in the end is a way for us to express our personalities through our outward appearances and its inevitable that we wont always agree since we're all different people. Buy and wear what you like and forget about what other people are buying and wearing...everyone has their own likes, dislikes, and priorities!!

And finally...that cupcake is lookin might good right about now ^^

My Name Is Greedy

Yes, I'm one greedy girl and here are two things I'm stealing/borrowing/inheriting from my mom :)

I got this black jumbo Original Classic Chanel in caviar leather in 2007 for my mom for Mother's Day but since she hardly uses it, I'm going to add it to my collection ^^ Since it was a gift, I wont really take it from her but I'll definitely borrow it in the near future...






I was playing around with this purse this weekend and though it sorta looks like its for older people, its so incredibly chic and classy that no one would dare say anything if a girl in her 20s wore this around town...plus, it totally works with my current collection!!

And this other thing...I didn't really ask for it but my mom's been offering to give it to me since last Christmas and well, I just can't refuse her any longer :)



My parents bought matching Rolex watches back in 2004 and now that their 25th wedding anniversary is coming up, they're planning on getting new matching Rolex watches and that means...my brother and I get to inherit the old set!!! My brother flat out said he doesn't want my dad's old Rolex and so I of course offered to take both...LMAO. No seriously though...I could adjust the length a bit and it would be fine :) Anyhow, my parents have worn their Rolex watches a total of 3 times...my mom just isn't into watches and my dad prefers his Omega :P Lucky them, they have a greedy daughter to take these babies off of their hands...okay fine, I wont be that greedy, I'll let my dad keep his since it doesn't have diamonds like my moms...

yay, Yay, YAY, YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! (Part 2)

This whole afternoon I was antsy at work cus I had this staring at me from underneath my cubicle:


I would've kept it in my trunk but recently some cars at work have been broken into and I was not going to risk getting the newest addition to my purse family stolen :P

So anyways...here was what was inside:


NR & DA: If you're reading this...yes, those ribbons were $20K...LMAO (sorry, inside joke)


And heres my new 2008 Fall/Winter Act I Metallic Dark Silver Jumbo 2.55 :) This year's metallic dark silver is COMPLETELY different from past years. Previously the dark silver was almost a copper color whereas this year it truly is dark silver (with almost a hint of blue). The metallic doesn't show up really well in the picture and I have to say, I feel like they toned down the metallic-ness of the 2.55 this year (compare this with my metallic purple small 2.55 and this baby is much closer to the matte). I asked my SA how many they received and she said 3-4 but if you weren't on the list...good luck locating one :P


And heres the inside double flap.

Every since I got my purple small 2.55, I knew I had to get another one in the jumbo size. Earlier this year I set my heart on dark silver but was told that it was gone, all gone. Either I search eBay or I get the ones with those ugly stripes. After much persistence, I found out that it would be coming back but the dark silver would be slightly moderated. I put my name on almost every list at every Chanel that I could think of. You can imagine my excitement when I got the call yesterday from my SA :)

*Note: After looking at these pictures I just have to say...the dark silver looks really light...the color is much deeper and the metallic-ness comes out more :)

Whose Her Stylist??!

At first I was going to do a Celebrity Fug post but then realized Solange is a hog and stole all the ugly outfits in the world!! I guess this is her way of getting attention away from Beyonce...too bad this crap will only make Beyonce shine more (and I'm not even a fan of Beyonce...):


Gosh, I dont even know which part of the outfit is the worst part. The stripper top? The tights? The shoes? The bag?


Okay I feel like this picture was taken10 minutes after the first picture...like maybe someone whispered to her "Hey, your outfit is ugly" and so she changed really quick in the nearby public bathroom and dashed out to pose in the same pose. Unfortunately, attempt #2 is no better.

Why did she have to kill those two poor animals and wear them on her feet?? And that bag...is she trying to direct traffic with it??

Aside from hiring a new stylist, Solange also needs to work on her posing. Notice anything similar in all these pictures?? Yea, I know, I can even pose better than that...pshhhhhhhhhh!!

yay, Yay, YAY, YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

Yesterday while I was driving home from work, I got a call from my Chanel SA. When I picked up she exclaimed "Your bag is here!!! Can you believe it?!?" After months of searching, wanting, wishing, and whining...I FINALLY got my hands on a _______!!!!! I went today during my lunch break to pick it up :) Look for a post later tonight!!!


PS: Amuse yourselves and try to fill in the blank...although I'm pretty sure my close friends already know what it is :P

From Your Sushi Plate To Your Closet??

I was completely caught off guard when I was reading Daily Candy today. The LA version featured handbags by One October. One October is focused on bringing eco-friendly exotic bags to the world of fashion and they're doing so by using farmed salmon skin. Totally a great idea since farm raised salmon will be eaten anyways and so the clutches are like a by-product of what we eat. The clutches run from $250-$370ish so its affordable and you're not harming any cows, lambs, snakes, lizards, crocodiles, or ostriches. The only problem I see? Salmon skin might take a while to catch on. I personally love what One October is doing but at the same time, I'll admit, the thought of carrying salmon around is just kinda weird (for example...will the leather smell be replaced by a fishy smell??). I mean yes, carrying any other animal around on your arms or shoulders is just as weird but I guess its just one of those things that takes time to get used to...

Remember In High School...

When the boys always wore those big puffy jackets?? Thats the image that I get every time I look at this bag from Bottega. I mean its Bottega leather so I'm sure its soft and delicious but I'm not a fan of the oversized quilted look. And for the asking price, I can't help but to feel a little cheated...its like they wanted to upgrade the famous Bottega weave and ended up with an extremely mundane bucket. Lets hope this is not a look that BV will be continuing in future seasons cus it sticks out like a sore thumb :P

Tiers And Ruffles

Ever since I bought my Geren Ford black tank with ruffles, I've had a new found appreciation for ruffled tops and even tiered tops since they usually tend to look like they're ruffled. Its like you add a little bit of dress and class to your everyday casual outfit. Of course, its easy to go terribly wrong with tiers and ruffles so keep it at a level where your body isn't swallowed up by them! Here are some great ones that I found on Saks:

12th St. by CV:


Tiers and ruffles, oh my!

See by Chloe:


Just that little patch of ruffles will work wonders!

Ali Ro:



See what I mean by dressy/classy but causal??

Madison Marcus:



Pretty simple tanks but just give it a try and you'll see :)

Armani:

And if you really get into ruffles, expand to jackets and whatever else you can find that is tiered and/or ruffled but once again...make sure they dont eat you alive :D

Yikes!

Man oh man oh man!!!! I practically fainted when I saw this Durga clutch on bagsnob.com just now. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. Gorgeous shade of purple made from my all-time favorite ostrich!!!!! The best part?? The affordable price!! I'm seriously about to add this baby to my shopping bag...

It measures 7x12 inches and so its a pretty nice size for a clutch...would be absolutely delicious for nights out and would still be able to fit all your daytime necessities if you dont mind carrying around a day clutch (I personally dont like it but I might make an exception...).

Also available in brown and gray but of course purple is the best :)

And The Point Is...

When I was in college, pointy pumps were all the rage. I of course amassed a fairly decent collection but sadly those pumps have been collecting dust for the past year as I switched my focus to round-toe pumps. Now after browsing around the internet, I was reminded of just how elegantly sexy pointy pumps can be. Todays findings have definitely inspired me to bring out some of my old pointy pumps and to start looking for new ones to invest in :)

Pronunciation

PS: Heres how to pronounce Lanvin

Givenchy Sacca Chain Handle Bag

I'm totally loving this bag right now. This is one of those simple, classic but functional bags that you can use and use and use and use. There really isn't much going on but I love the shape that it forms and of course that chain adds a little rock and roll to the muted elegance of the black leather. Pretty reasonable price but before you jump the gun and click the buy button, as always, I recommend going to scope it out in person first. Check to make sure that the leather is nice and soft or at least durable. Also make sure that the hardware doesn't make this bag too heavy to wear. I'll be on the look out for this bag next time I'm at BNY and will report back on what I find :)


*Update* I got to try this bag on in person and its okay. The leather isn't buttery soft but its definitely sturdy and of good quality. The Chain is cute but the bag overall is just okay. I guess thats expected since there really isn't much going on with it. Convenient and useful...the top selling points for this bag...

Revolving Clothing - Flagship Store!!

Revolve Clothing is one of my favorite online shopping stores. They have literally 1000s of items for sale and on sale from a huge range of designers. I always find great deals on there and it usually helps me pass time at work since theres just so much to oogle at :) Anyhow, I'm uber excited about the opening of the Revolve store on Melrose. Here are the details:

Grand Opening: Saturday, August 23th 11am-8pm.
Phone Number: 323-944-0311
Location: 8452 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood CA 90069

There will also be a special preview Friday, August 22nd from 11am-8pm.

If you can't make it to the preview, dont fret...the online store will still always be at your service ;)

Loooooooooove

I blogged about this purse in crocodile awhile ago but I think I'm now in love with this python version :P I've always found python to be a little creepy but gosh dangit, this color is just TOO perfect. Its suppose to be gray but I swear I see lavender...what do you think?? Compared to the price tag of the crocodile version, this bag is a steal at $2900.

Name Dropping

I'm not exactly a big fan of the LV monogram but I do admit to liking them when I first started my bag collection. When I discovered that they were actually made of canvas and only had leather handles and trim, I became bothered by the mass appeal of these bags with the general public. I think part of the reason is because a lot of people dont realize that their bags are not actually made of leather. I think the other reason is because with an LV monogram bag or any monogram bag, you're letting everyone and their mom know that you paid a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars for your bag. I myself was one of those newbies who thought if I spend my money on something expensive, I want EVERYONE to know that its expensive. I write this in shame and hope that my rep isn't tarnished by this admission :P Anyhow, the thing that I hope people realize is that TRUE fashion lovers know each design house frontwards and backwards. They dont need a flashy logo to id a bag, they simply know the style. More importantly, TRUE fashion lovers respect and appreciate the classic, muted styles ALOT more than the trendy, flashy styles. So next time you pick out a bag, think twice before getting the one with "LV" or "Gucci" plastered all over it cus you might be getting eye-rolls instead of looks of admiration. I say go for the "quiet" bags that will garner you more credibility and respect :) Plus, the classic ones always outlast the trendy ones...

Is This Really Necessary?

I completely understand why fashion houses like to expand their collection so that it goes beyond apparel, shoes, purses, jewelry, sunglasses etc. but there are still some things that are pretty darn unnecessary. Take for example this Bottega picture frame. I love Bottega and think that their quality of leather is the best there is but even if I was filthy rich, I would save my $400 and forgo this picture frame. I mean even if it was the most valuable/meaningful photo I had, I still dont think I would spend $400+ for its frame. I'd much rather drive to Ross and get one for $4...LMAO! No but seriously, some things are better left untouched by high fashion and I think picture frames falls under this category.

Get Your Priorities Straight!

After I went crazy during my shoe phase back in May, I've had nothing but handbags on my mind. Not a big surprise there I guess since I do call myself Purse Addict :P But seriously my WANT list of purses is at a all-time high. This is especially worrisome since the prices of these babies have been increasing steadily and my tastes have gotten much more expensive in the past year. So how am I suppose to check off every item on my list without going into debt (or face the wrath of my dad)?? A priority list!! I took a look at my WANT list and decided to prioritize the purses and in that way come up with a shopping schedule for myself. This allows me to pace myself (and money) while still being able to indulge myself in purses :) There are many ways of coming up with your own priority list but here are some suggestions:

1. Prioritize by price: If you're low on funds, it might be a good idea to get the less expensive items now and save up for the more expensive ones. OR you can forgo the less expensive items and save the money to get the more expensive ones sooner.

2. Prioritize by what you need or currently missing: If there is a specific style or designer that is missing from your collection or that you feel like you "need", you can put those towards the top of the list and save the repeats for later.

3. Prioritize by how much you want it: This ones simple. Put the items that you REALLY want on top and save the ones that you're lukewarm towards for later.

I personally created a priority list first based on everything I could think of...shoes, purses, clothes, jewelry etc. Of course purses ended up being #1 since thats what I'm currently craving and so I went ahead and prioritized my list of purses. Again, there are infinite ways of doing this and of course, it doesn't even have to be for shopping but I find that it really helps to put my mind at ease!! Hope it works for you ;)

The Butt Of Our Jokes

The Chanel Coco Cabas denim bag has been a long time inside joke between me and DZ. We both agree that if you're going to spend thousands of dollars on a bag, it should be a classic style made from leather or exotic skin. I mean why do you want to spend your hard earned money on a bag that will be an embarrassment within 12 months and have absolutely no upgrade value since its made from denim or canvas??! To us the bag you see here is the epitome of what NOT to spend your money on. Yea sure, its Chanel but tell me what part of this bag is worth $1300?? Is denim really that expensive?? I'll make you one and it'll probably cost me less than $100. I mean sometimes its a issue of taste. Some people just like this kind of stuff and dont mind spending their money on it. Fine, more power to you. Then there are those who buy this kind of stuff cus "Its a Chanel!". Those are the people I feel sorry for. They think they'll get an immediate status upgrade cus they have "A Chanel" dangling from their arms when in reality, they just went broke over an unfortunately overpriced piece of junk. So please, if you're going to splurge on a bag either A. Make sure you truly love it or B. If you want a social upgrade, make sure the bag is worth the investment...

**Note: If you are one of those people who think materialistic things give you an automatic social upgrade, I would also recommend spending some money on therapy...

Inspired...

Before I started obsessively buying every dress I came across, I spent all my time and money on skirts. My once huge collection of skirts has dwindled down in numbers since I donated and gave away the ones that I knew I would never wear again but my favorites are still hanging in my closet collecting dust :P Anyhow, I've been slowly getting tired of dresses...I think its cus I've managed to buy so many, nothing really excites me anymore. I found this picture of Penelope on redcarpetfashionawards.com and I'm feeling inspired! Maybe its time to bring out some of my old skirts and start investing in new ones :) But the problem with skirts is that I would also have to start buying more shirts to go along with them :P Anyhow...I think I'll go home tonight and play around with my skirts to see how many different outfits I can come up with...

Whats Up Studs??!

HAHA...sorry, cheesy title but I had to go there :p Anyhow...seriously, what IS up with the studs??! After just 20 minutes of browsing, I've come across way too many studded shoes and handbags and all have but uuuuuuuggaaaaalllllaaaaaay!!


Now see...just after I write a whole post about pretty Chloe shoes, I just had to find these atrocious things...I DARE you to wear these...actually, to be honest...I'll probably see these soon on some stupid celebrity



Wow...has Gucci sunk to the level where their creative director had to get together with Juicy Couture's creative director??! HAH...okay that was mean :P

This Givenchy shopper isn't even cute in regular leather so I'm absolutely baffled as to why they wanted to make it uglier by going crazy with the stud gun...

I'm SURE there are LOTS of other examples of studs gone wrong but I'm tired and so can only offer you three examples right now!

Impressive

I'm always a little bit on the fence about Chloe but some of the shoes from the Fall 08 season have definitely impressed me...


Okay, I'll admit, there are MANY wedges that look like this but these are still cute, no? I love the big buckle in the front and the height of the wedge will give your causal outfit a little sex appeal :)


I can see how some might think these are ugly but I think with the right outfit and style, these could work wonders! The round toe is cute and yet that thin heel on the back is ultra sexy...love the contrast...almost like a good girl gone bad type of thing :) The strap in the front is almost like a throwback to the days when women wore nothing but those fancy booties...right??! Anyways...


And then some funky pumps that are sorta 80s glam. I dont remember the 80s that well but from what I gather...it was a pretty cheesy time period :P BUT...everything in fashion repeats itself at least once in your lifetime! I think with a spunky dress, these would be killer.


And the flat version isn't so bad either! Although these would be kinda hard for me to personally pull off, I can definitely see some of you funky (in a good way!) gals pulling these off with some sass and confidance...WORK IT :)

Ew

I'm a pretty big YSL fan but the Trooper Platform shoes are just WAY TOO UGLY. So ugly I'm almost looking forward to seeing if anyone will actually spend $700 on these things and wear them around town. I mean I get it...they thought it would be cute to combine those military boots with a pump. Too bad theres a good reason why the military doesn't pass out pumps to female soldiers during war...IT JUST DOESN'T GO (and of course it wouldn't be very practical...)!! There are just some things in life that should remain separate...

M.I.A

Sorry!! I know its been awhile since I've posted anything...I've been busy running around caring for a new baby while trying to make sure my other kid doesn't die from jealousy :P

Anyhow...amuse yourselves with this challenge/brain-teaser:

2 VERY Important Lessons...

#1: It is NOT a good idea to bring prized possessions out when you know you will be around lots of alcohol...especially if the people you're around can't hold their alcohol...


#2: Dont let your unreliable "friend" borrow ANYTHING. Chances are you wont see them or your stuff again. Oh well...it was only $20 (complete set of SATC from China) so I guess I'll let her broke-ass get away with this one...


PS: Sorry I know I sound like a bitch but everyone is allowed to be pissy once in awhile right??
