 What's the point of going to different parts of the world if you don't make friends while you're there?

So, I just  got back from Japan a couple days ago and the jet lag still hasn't worn off.  I thought now would be a great time to update my blog since I can't sleep, and I can never find any other time to do it!  
First off, Japan is EVERYTHING!!! If you can't tell from the pics I had THE best time! I worked there for three weeks which still wasn't enough time to soak in all the culture...its just that rich.  So many places to go and things to see.  And the fashion is on another planet!! I have to go back just for shopping alone!  The people are amazing.  Everything is clean, like really clean (you'll notice it trust me).  Freshest sushi in the world. I could go on for daaaayyyss.  Such a great trip.  
Experiences like these are even better when you have experienced the absolute worst.  Thank you China lol.

International Travel: China


All smiles on the first day of work in China...boy was I in for it.  HA!
 Yes. That is the tongue ripped out of an $800 Ferragamo shoe.  BSB Wardrobe crisis averted with the help of an outstanding shoe repairman who saved the day.  Thank God everything is made in China, shoe is still good to this day and we just finished the third leg!


"Outchea thuggin in these Chinese streets....no really -_-"








Long story short..I'm not one to make something appear what its not.  China was one of the absolute worst experiences of my life (excluding the Great Wall which was one of the best).  I didn't immediately post pics because I wanted no parts of that place. Yes, it was that bad.  However, there were a few highlights I'd like to share now that I've gotten over it. The Great Wall of China was an out of body experience, one of the best so far hands down.  If you like culture, history, adventure and a great workout add this to your bucket list ASAP!  Shanghai and Guangzhou were cute as well.

OMG! Has It Really Been SIX Months?!

This day was fuuuunn :))
Dapper Gentlemen of GQ at Emporio Armani event in Beverly Hills, CA

I just wanted to share a few of the jobs/events that have kept me busy over the past few months.  Incredibly blessed to see my vision slowly coming together!  There were days when I thought "WTF am I doing?" but quitting was never an option for me, and as a result I've been presented with some pretty amazing opportunities!  
God. Is. Everything.
