“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”
--Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel
THE GAGA: The Lady Gaga concert in Vancouver, which I attended, was “FUCKING AMAZING”. . . .well that’s what all my friends keep telling me because I was too shitfaced from all the copious amounts of alcohol on an empty stomach to remember anything. All I can recall is a lot of dancing, screaming, singing, swearing and drinking, which basically sums up a perfect fun night out for me.
THE MISUNDERSTANDING: Part of my job as an Ambassador at work is to smile and greet people, but unfortunately some are getting the wrong signal and think that I’m attracted to them. This would totally work out in my favour if I had more attractive people hitting on me at work or anywhere for that matter but I ALWAYS seem to magnetize all the jacked-up lunatics with holes in their shoes the size of golf balls, who actually have the guts to ask me out on a date. THE PRIZE: I recently inherited my fathers prized watch which used to belong to my grandfather back in Vietnam. It’s an authentic automatic Rado watch with a gold face and real diamond time markings. It’s an amazing gift with so much history and love that I wouldn’t dare trade it in for anything else. . . .welllll. . . .unless if it was Chopard's "Super Ice Cube" watch, which is dripping in 66.16 carat diamonds, than I might have to pray forgiveness to good ol’gramps!
THE NEED: I’ve decided the only thing I need for the Christmas is a really good spa package! A foot rub, back massage, facial . . .I want the fucking works! This standing at work for 9 hours a day in extremely uncomfortable but beautiful designer shoes is taking a toll on my body. But I guess pain is the price I pay for beauty.
THE FAME: Not to sound vain in any of way possible, but I’m finally tasting the fame of the Starving Stylist. I knew that I had a LOYAL base of readers but who the hell knew that one day I would be pulled aside on the busy street by strangers or approached at work by customers only to be graciously complemented about my blog or better yet have my secret infatuation express how much they enjoy reading about my rants and raves! *swooooooon* Sincerely, thank you to all my readers and your support! Y’all make me seriously blush bright red like a fat kid who just ran half a block down the street! And if you want more of me, then I suggest you follow me on Twitter because I definitely update that a lot more than this blog!

Peter -- You deserve all the attention for "The Starving Stylist", as entertaining as it is. Seriously, some magazine needs to syndicate you. Like, now.
AND... you deserved a fun night out with Lady GaGa!
XOXO

great post!!
Awesome post love! Your blog gives me life! And OMG Gaga! Swooning I am. Seems like you were fairly close (or had a Canon with 6x zoom). Glad you had a ball, congrats on your job, and you deserve more than street recognition for your blog. One of the best by far. Keep being the fiercely fab divo you are.
xoxo

Sounds like you had fun! It's funny, when I went, there was a chick passed out in the bathroom at the beg of the concert, then I go in again after kid cudi finishes, and there's a fight between the drunk girl's friend and security guards. Alcohol was definitely not her friend lol.
Hi darling! You and posse look hot. GAGA!!! It's funny...I saw her about a year and a half ago right before she broke out and became famous. She was performing at richards (gross) and even made time to talk to all her fans after. it's so fantastic to see how far she's come and look at her effing outfits!! A pop star wearing Margiela and McQueen?? Now THAT is why I love her.
I gots to stop by and meet you in person!!
xx

Small world, you know Christine! She's fabulous so I'm not surprised that you two know each other.
love that "I can't pay my rent but I"m fucking gorgeous bag" haha that's awesome! Looks like you guys had a blast at the concert.
So glad to hear that your new job at Holt's has been treating you well! Aside from those god awful misunderstandings. I know where you're coming from, I get that where I work too because I have to do the meet/greet/smile thing as well.
I've been saying for years that I should get a t-shirt made that says "Hi, I get paid to smile and be nice to you, otherwise I'd tell you to fuck off. Thanks and have a nice day!"
And I want to see pics of this new bling bling watch of yours!
xo
so jelluz! So FIARCEE!!! Twerking it big time!!

I went to the Thursday concert. I just about cried and orgasmed all at the same time. She is out of this world. Favorite moment: "Vancouver, today is our second date. You know what that means... I get to suck your dick!".

I first saw Lady Gaga performs live last year, and I haven't stopped talking about that experience yet!! : lol: Over the years, I've had the good fortune to see her many times, Lady Gaga and her shows improve with each new tour! I'm gonna attend her concert again since I can compare and get cheap tickets from Ticketwood.com; so I can save some dollars to the next concert ...I’m so excited!!
