PRIDE 2013

it was another fun parade on sunday. it felt like there were more people than ever this year. the streets were packed! it's one of my favorite times of the year in long beach. the city feels festive and it's a nice way to kick off summertime, which also means a whole new wave of fun is starting. 

this year, after the parade we hung out with friends. our place was full of little ones who danced almost the entire day. so cute.

i've been listening to this song by rhye all morning. it's a good old love song and makes me feel really happy.
i am on the edge of my seat waiting for rhye's debut album to be released next week. i've been streaming it here. mike milosh and robin hannibal did a brilliant job on this one. simply lovely. 
woman will be released on march 4th.

HEY LOVE

as much as i don't get into valentine's day, i am still a sucker for love. which makes it a little easier for me to not hate on the big v-day. 

so happy valentine's day, peacocks. i wish many kisses upon you. 

keep dancing,

steph
