This is a photo-heavy post from our little trip to the LBC to visit the Aquarium of the Pacific in celebration of Nicki H’s birthday! WE LOVE US SOME OCEANIC CREATURES…(TO EAT… half jk) This was also the day a pigeon dooked in my Tecate! Luckily the nice people at the aquarium gave me a fresh new cerveza. THANK YOU! I will give you an all star YELP review for that. Hope that bird poop was good luck. ::VOMITROCIOUS::

The room we had at the Ace was perfect for two ladies who came to Palm Springs primarily to LOUNGE. It reminded me of camp. We called it The Clubhouse.

This was our comfy girly area to read mags, talk shit, watch tv and CHILL OUT. I’m telling you it was a REAL vacation where I didn’t have to do nuthin’!! BLISS.

One of the best things about the rooms at the Ace is they have these hooks where you can hang random things and clip your photos on. I forgot to bring picture of Sir Staymoist to hang! BLASPHEMY! I did bring one of Emi’s weird crush though. Not sure if she wants me to divulge who tickles her ladyboner but his name rhymes with Dickey Bjork. SAWRE EMI. You can spot our matching fruit bags (made by Emi) and (a part of) her extensive headband collection.

11 pairs of shoes between the both of us…for basically 48 hours. Ridiculous to some, but POLLY HEAVEN to those who are in the know.

Dress Obsessed!

When we unpacked it looked like we were setting up shop so we started taking snapshots like two nerds with nothing better to do (until we started tanning.) Emi shares my love of accessories so I never feel like a whore-der around her. THANK GAWT I AM NOT ALONE! Also thank heavens for this Joan Collins (sister of our fairy godmother Jackie of course) book I brought to be our bible for the trip.

Eye of the Beholder rosette from Cloven Hoof, Emi’s jewelry line. Lurk the new lookbook!

Cloven Hoof beetle wing earrings that I can’t stop wearing, cake ring that Emi made me, other various fashion and vintage rings of mine. One of these days I will take pictures of my actual jewelry box/closet/U-Haul so you can SEE IT ALL

Peep my new FAVORITE Cutie Dynamite hair decor! The sequined hearts barrette is KILLA. Look for my interview with Cutie Dynamite soon. You can also spot my fave gold Fred Flare glasses…and about a billion other sunglasses.

Cloven Hoof beetle brooch, ello lil’ guy!

We got our nails did nearby where I also discovered my new favorite polish…”VIKINI GREEN.” What the hales is a vikini? I hope it’s some sort of inside joke among the alchemists who mixed this magical nail potion. UGH I LOVE IT

♥ Hat from a stand in Harajuku, Betsey Johnson Pollys, Tracy Feith for Target dress ♥

After the wild celebratory night we went for a stroll among the dead at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It had been a long time since I visited the grounds during the day and not on a Cinespia night.

There were beautiful peacocks strutting around like Vegas showgirls.

PARDON ME, HERE IT IS (I really did do that by accident)

HEEEEEEEY LITTLE GIRL I WANNA BE YOUR BOYFRIEND

Someone left white plastic fangs at Vampira’s grave so I took the black ones I had in the sunglasses holder in my car (YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU NEED ‘EM) and left them there too.

I bought this hat on a stand in Harajuku when I went to Tokyo last summer. It reminded me of the hat the girl wears in The Lover aka L’amant. It’s about the affair of a young French lolita and a rich Chinese man. TABOO AND SEXY

You probably saw these SUPER CUTE medical-themed Hello Kitty toys when they were all over the blogs last fall but I forgot to write about them on here. BLASPHEMY! My friend Nathan Cabrera designed these for the Dr. Romanelli and Medicom collab. As you can see, they are just as cute in person as they are online. I found them available to purchase in the US through Toy Tokyo and Mimoco. So adorable they make me wanna SLAP MY MOMMA WITH A BAG OF HOT NICKELS. HALLOW.

The candy striper is my obvious favorite, but the cutesy-faced internal organs on the anatomical kitties get me every time!

Which one is your fave?

.

The t-shirts are pretty wonderful too!

† Aurel Schmidt’s tees for Opening Ceremony are SICK!! I wanna get the “E” for my BFF and the “Y” for me…wish my name was YARIE.

† Seeing Rumi’s posts about Tokyo are making me miss MY HOME so much. I love that upside down world.

† My black tie-dye obsession takes on a whole new direction with this lingerie!!!!

† Okay you guys, I kept crying while watching this for the first time a few weeks ago! What can I say, underneath this bitchface of life, I am a big crybaby. THEY ARE SO SWEET. (It’s one of my favorite Bjork songs too)

Got some links for me to lurk? Lemme know! marie at agentlover.com.

Christina Aguilera’s AMAZING SHOE CLOSET/LIBRARY!!!! AHHHHH!!! Sidebar, why am I on some crazy Christina Aguilera kick lately? Am I already waxing my nostalgic legs for the early 00′s?

#1. I’ve been watching this for the past week. #2. Now I want to get dirrty. #3. Now I am excited about this COUNTDOWN. What’s happening to me? I won’t fight it though. I’m just going to make an Xtina aerobics megamix! For myself to enjoy…

Mariah Carey’s closet. So LARGE and in charge I had to chop the photo in half. Mariah is SO CRAY now isn’t she? I mean she was already going cuckoolicious a few years ago when she was pushing that ice cream truck on TRL. I’m scared because I do have a soft spot for Mariah Carey you know. I don’t want her to have a big break (break) down. (Fave song ft BONE THUGS)

You better believe I’d post KIMORA on here!!!

You’ve probably seen Anna Sui’s amazing hidden walk-in closet inspired by The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe! My DREAM since childhood is to have a house filled with secret passageways… Lemme just get my futon, Anna. I’ll be catching some zzz’s in your closet. Hope you have some of your eyeliner in there for me to use in the morning.

I couldn’t find a picture of Betsey Johnson’s actual closet, only those sweet pics of her pink apartment, but during my lurks I remembered she was supposed to debut a home collection a few years ago with bedding but it never came out. What a bummer! Where are these samples? Look at what we could have been sleeping on! Man I’m such a whore for some floral.

Last but never least, a little bit of IMELDA!!!

The Carrie Nations - Sweet Talking Candyman

When I was writing the retro bathing suit post, I came across pictures of Jayne Mansfield’s famous Pink Palace, which I always heard of but for some reason never took the time to research. Why did it take me so long to see photographs of this wondrous place?!

I can’t deal with this black and gold bathroom. Are YOU seeing this? AMAZING.

I’m fainting right now:

Floor to ceiling cotton candy carpet? I’d go insane in the loveliest way. Like a genie in a bottle bo. OMG

Could you get work done in an office like this? I probably could. Well, I’d get a lot of things done in that office. WINK HELLO

Her husband Mickey Hargitay built the famous heart-shaped swimming pool.

I’m really bummed this was demolished seven years ago. But at least I have the Madonna Inn to get my fix. I wonder if Jayne visited the Madonna too?

Confesh: I have been thinking about Justin Timberlake a lot lately because the other day I found a picture of me with short hair and glasses kissing a poster of him in Vegas WHERE I SAW HIM IN CONCERT (2003). Thank you. Ain’t no shame in my game EVER. Then Gilda posted that one SNL single ladies video (did you just barely see dat m’lady?) This all has resulted in a desire for some new sexy JT tunes. He’s close to perfection because #1: He funny, #2: He FUINE #3: He got flava for a white boy #4: He can sing AND dance #5: HE FUNNY!!! And now he is wearing glasses. SAY WAAT. You know every time there is a pair of Clark Kent spectacles around a panty drops (mine.) WTF is he doing to me?! My ladyboner is thru the roof. I’m hyperventilating right now. Then I come across this new Ciara video featuring the one and only:

I’m on the floor now. My bra magically flew off Zapped-style. I don’t know what happened to me but please, enjoy yourself if you feel me on this. Also have you peeped his William Rast line? Since I don’t wear pants I don’t see anything Rie-Rie-ish in his lady line (it’s all jeanz) but I do love this GIANT BELT:

However I’m not feeling camel toe brown. I wish it were white instead so it could look like a straightjacket on my waist. Okay one more:

I wonder what kind of texter he is. Is he an ALL CAPPER, does he LOL, is he quick, bad grammar? No punctuation!?? Does he text stories of life or keep it short and sweet? I imagine he drops the good shit like LL Cool J Lyrics and doesn’t miss a beat with a dirty pun. Thoughts?

Did you see the pink dolphin?! It’s like Strawberry Quik!

I wanna make earrings outta this lil guy…

Wouldn’t this katydid be even cuter with a white tuxedo and top hat?

I wish all animals were pink. I’ve always wanted a pink poodle AND if spiders were pink I would probably let one go outside instead of smashing them with my chancla.
