So we celebrated Dianas Birthday at Slate in the city.

I am so so happy to have met Diana. She is so amazing and cool and I just love her attitude and energy.

She is so thorough and I really trust her with anything.

I got her this cute little coin purse that I got from that place above baked by melissa cupcakes.

I really hope that we get to be friends because shes amazing and her husband Jon is such an amazing guy.

A few months ago he came to help me shoot an outdoor scene for Atoy because I needed an image for the Capsule book.

They are an amazing couple and am so lucky that our paths crossed at Gryson.

Wow. I can’t believe how fucking awesome my life has become living in Chelsea.

I actually have time to do things and now when I meet up with people I can actually be one of those people that go home and change. :-)

So last Wednesday the movers finally picked up the bins so we finally have space to arrange furniture and play with the layout of the apartment.

It’s everything and more living in a cool neighborhood. Everything from restaurants to the miki walks are awesome ad painless.

Lo, Joy and I just had a lovely time in Hong kong. We had a good time just relaxing and shopping in the city.

Joy could only stay for 1 day but Laurence and I stayed in HK for two days.
We had a nice lunch with Rommy and Joyce at this yummy dumpling place.

Hong Kong was amazing- We had a great time shopping and I bought a few really cool things.

So at the factory and there an area for all of the employees drinks since they are not allowed to drink while working.

I took this snapshot because all o their drinks have so much character/personality.

Also it goes to show you how green the Chinese are never throwing away cups and or bottles.

So last night Joy arrived to the hotel around 11pm. We met for breakfast this morning and then we went over to the factory.

This was Joys first time at Arsto so it was nice to show her the factory and introduce her to the people that we work with at the factory.

Its around 8:30pm right now and were waiting for Laurence to arrive so we can all have a nice sit down dinner together. We are probably going to have a nice Korean dinner.

Getting very sleepy right now and can’t wait to go to bed.

Woke up this morning pretty early. At around 7:30am. Spoke to furry for a little bit via skype chat.

I decided to go down and get breakfast early today because I woke up starving.

My part of breakfast was my Lao sa Bao and coffee. Yum…

For lunch I went out to a group lunch with the factory workers and ate this amazing Hunan food. The food was so spicy but it was so delicious.

Woke up at around 8am this morning. I slept really good. I spoke to Furry for a little bit and then got ready and had a lovely breakfast.

Now waiting for Joyce to pick me up at hotel.

I am at the factory now. For lunch we had this delicious spicy beef dish with sides of diced up veggies and a milky fish soup. Perfect way to start out the trip.

For dinner we had to have a rush dinner and I let Joyce decide what we should have for dinner. She suggested McDonalds so I agreed.

I have to say that it wasn’t bad and did definitely taste different than the McDonalds in the U.S.

I am on my way to Hong Kong right now. Only approximately 4 hours left to go- whoopie.

I have seen a total of 5 movies already on this flight. Butterfly effect, RED and Charlie St Cloud, Wall St Never sleeps and last but not least Never let me go.

So glad I have my earplugs because there’s two baby’s on board.

I miss my baby so dam much it hurts. Almost to the point that I don’t think I can handle being away from him for so long. :-(

I am so excited about our new place up in Chelsea. Looking forward to being spoiled by the convenient city life. I am really glad to experience living in the city at least once. I doubt well ever go back to living in Brooklyn but things happen and I am sure if we move out of the city there will be a pretty good reason for the move.

I can’t wait for Joy to arrive to the factory on Wednesday. Also hopefully all goes well with Laurence’s visa situation so that she can leave Tuesday afternoon as planned.

Ok- going to try and get some sleep.

Arrived at the Hotel in China around 5 or 6pm and feeling so exhausted. I had Japanese for dinner. I ordered a yummy fried chicken ramen and one order of Uni sushi along with 1 shrimp tempura hand roll. Yum…..

Furry and I have been working at the Chelsea apartment cleaning and painting all weekend.

One of the fabulous things about this new apt is that there is a massage place right next door.

As a reward for working hard on the apartment Dump said we could both get a massage after we worked on Sunday.

So we arrive at the Dingy massage place and I strip down to my indies and then lie face down as usual. The masseuse arrives and then pulls my underwear down and then he slide all the way down. I feel uncomfortable but then realize that this is not that abnormal except usually thy put a towel over you.

So right when I think the massage is over he says ten over. Embarrassed as he’ll I have a hard on and I’m like he prob experienced this many times so I keep my cool. After he does my arms and chest he then pokes below my penis and balls like a pressure point and I’m like this is very touchy and he glides his hands over my balls and grabs my penis and as he strokes once I’m like “no no it’s ok”.

I felt so violated and weirded out that he could just so openly do that.

I am never going to that place ever again. So skeeved out because of all of the massage places that I have been to in the city and even China that has never happened to me. I guess theres always a first.
