The smell of babies: I know that sounds creepy but they do smell really good–anyone who has never even kissed a baby on the cheek in their life is seriously missing out on some pretty awesome stuff.  I spend a lot of time with my one-year-old niece (pic below) and her skin is just naturally fresh and lovely all the time. I don’t know what it is with babies and their scent. I figure babies are like brand new cars. They smell really nice and new in the beginning, but as time goes by, everything slowly starts turning into old, smelly fermenting shit. I know I start to smell like shit if I don’t put on deodorant–babies don’t have to. They’re brand new!

Enjoy your baby scent while it last, kiddo.

Changing: I’m the kind of person who will rearrange the positioning of their furniture every 3-4 months because I CANNOT stand stagnation. Keeping things the “same” is simply uninteresting, lame and boring. It’s not just furniture either, it’s practically everything in my life. Before I didn’t have to pay a crap-ton of bills, I could afford seeing a hairstylist every three months so they can dye and cut my hair into a completely drastic look. Currently, I’ve had this black long hair far too long and I’m just itching to go back to the salon and turn into a new woman.

Tiff, in blonde flavor, circa '07.

Watching pastry chefs handle dough: Ever since I was a kid, I was always fascinated with dough and how they were used in baking pastries. I don’t really know why, I just think it’s cool. First off, touching dough alone feels really orgasmic to me. It’s soft, delicate, and putty–I would probably try motorboating it if nobody was looking. And secondly, watching the chefs on those cooking documentaries play with them to make really delicious pastries is just a whole new level of awesome.

Building (girly) robots: In one of my older posts, I mentioned finding a new hobby which was putting gundam models together. I’m pretty sure some people thought I never started on it, but I already finished making three awesome little models! I love working with gundams that lean towards the “cuter” side. The next one I will be working on will be a unicorn-hybrid, but that shouldn’t be surprising anymore.

Don't fuck wit Team Fabulous

Rollerblading: Ah, rollerblading is quite special to me. One of my favorite things about rollerblading is that I always get strange looks from people all the time, who are possibly thinking, “Rollerblades still exist?” Yes, they do. Few. They’re generally used by children and white suburban men in their 50′s, but that still counts right?

Back then, I use to rollerblade a lot with the other kids in my old neighborhood. Once, when I was only six, we were rollerblading together out in the streets and I just remembered all of us ending up skating back to our houses for our lives because apparently a man was chasing us down, he wanted to kidnap one of us (we were all very young girls). Seriously, that was terrifying for me. Good thing we out-bladed that sick pedophilin’ bastard.

I probably have a wedgie but rollerblading makes me not give any fucks.

If you’re around my age, you probably have the hots for male actors like Josh Gordon Levitt, James Franco and Robert Pattinson. While these guys are undoubtedly gifted with charming good looks, nothing is more attractive than real men who are obviously older and far more experienced with being a man, getting laid, punching babies and just life in general.

I mean, look, I’m not saying I have a thing for older dudes. Older people, both men and women, are simply wayyy more interesting compared to us naive little youngsters. The wrinkles and the grey hair people start to get from aging can be a very sexy thing (as long as they’re not druggies or batshit crazy) because it means they’re leveling up. So here are some of the men in the entertainment biz I currently admire:

5. Josh Brolin

"You keep runnin' that mouth I'm gonna take you in the back and screwya"

Who knew this former goonie would grow up to be a ballsy ass cowboy? Brolin gets to be on my list because he’s been in so many good movies lately–although he’s usually in supporting roles, but hey man, he’s just that good at supporting: Grindhouse: Planet Terror, No Country for Old Men, American Gangster, Milk, and The Goonies just to name a few. Yes, that’s him. That’s the guy who played the big hunky brother (Brandon Walsh) in The Goonies; the guy you wished you locked lips with as kid, instead of that fuglified Andy.

4. James Caviezel

Peace be with you!

I swear, it seems like the older he gets, the more beautiful his face becomes. You might know him from The Passion of the Christ, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Stoning of Soraya M, or Deja Vu. He’s got crazy man-piercing eyes that’ll swallow your soul if you stared at it long enough. He makes a good-looking Jesus. And he’s apparently pretty serious about his Catholic religion. No matter what your stance is on the church, you can’t deny the fact that you’ll never be able to find another Catholic man that’s as beautiful as Caviezel.

3. Louis C.K.

"You don't have to be smart laugh at farts, but you'd have to be stupid not to."

If I wasn’t happy with my current relationship, I would ask this glorious son-of-a-bitch to marry me. Yes, I’m aware that he’s slightly fat, ugly, ginger and he’s balding and hair-ing at the same time but he’s one of the most brilliant and hilarious comedians of our time. Louis CK has been putting out original consistently funny and brutally honest comedy for years, and the man hasn’t even lost his fire yet. If you watch any of his stand-ups–or even his TV show on FX Louis–you will understand the odd yet strong attraction I have for Mr. CK.

2. Viggo Mortensen

Je suis ramasser mon nez et les manger comme on parle *wink wink*

I first saw Viggo in the LOTR Trilogies but he didn’t really win my heart until I saw several Youtube videos of him speaking in like FIVE OR SIX OR FUCKING TEN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. According to Wikipedia, he “speaks fluent English, Danish and Spanish; he is also conversational in French and Italian, and understands Norwegian and Swedish.” If that doesn’t get your panties dropping like Myspace hits, then you’re clearly not human at all.

1. Anthony Bourdain

"I liked the life that went with being a chef. I was getting laid, I was getting high, I was having fun. "

Anthony Bourdain is the coolest, baddest and possibly oldest man on television. Though I may be just a partially biased because he reminds me of so much like my boyfriend in the mannerisms, the younger photos, and the fact that they both appreciate all different types of food from all over the world. But really though, Bourdain somehow turned his chef career into a rockstar lifestyle. He’s a paid chef who doesn’t even have to cook. He has the best job in the world, hands down. He also seems like a real genuine guy who cares because he stands up to activists who try to ban certain foods such as foie gras. He also acknowledges the Mexican, Ecuadorian and other Spanish-speaking immigrants who make up the majority of chefs and cooks in the U.S, and strongly considers them to be the most talented chefs but are undervalued and underpaid. What an outstanding individual.

I’m really hungry now.

I guess I’ve been feeling like a kid lately so I’ve been putting up my hair into all sorts of ponytails. I really don’t recommend doing the Princess Leia hairdo because it generally has to be tight so the buns don’t get loose, but the tightness of the buns (hehe) had given me a very bad headache. One of friends told me I looked like one of those Asian masseuse who’d give handjobs to their clients towards the end of the session. Um, ew, I wasn’t going for that kind of image.

Chun Li is tired.

Hover ho.

I’ve been quite tired for the past couple of days because I’ve recently started making a costume for Comic-Con this year. Originally, my costume for Frost (Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance) was already made many months ago but I wasn’t very proud of it so I gave up. Last week, the motivation to reconstruct this costume had sparked once again, and now I only have about two and a half weeks to finish it!

I already fucked my costume pretty bad, so don’t expect anything great…just OK or maybe average at best. I will definitely post the actual costume though once everything is finished. For now, here are my finger tips.

This better be fucking good.
