LA Trip / Pump WeHo!

I have to warn you, I have so much stuff going on the next few months, the blogging might fall apart moreso than it already has.

So I was in LA last weekend to shoot a beautiful wedding (my first gay wedding!) in Palm Springs. (Evan & Addison's City Hall Wedding wasn't a full-on wedding).

Before heading out to Palm Springs, I played with some of my favorite LA peoples.

Aly (Arry), having finally moved back from Japan, finally was introduced to Jesse.

Being both pretty little giants (Arry wore 4 inch heels, making her 6'4" for the evening), they instantly fell in loves. 


We LOVES having giant friends!!!


Mr Jesse got a LITTLE bit overserved and started acting a little CaRAYZY and we ended up running away from him...but we're going to try to forget that all happened...


We hit the Abbey...


Then met up with Mr Payton (I was crashing with him for a couple days)...


And he brought us next door for a little glimpse into his new gig at Lisa Vanderpump's PUMP WeHo!

PRETTY.


The next night (Friday) was the grand opening of PUMP.

We met up with Oprah Will for some tacosss.


Then headed over to PUMP for the opening party.


LOVES having fabulous bartender friends at the best new hotspots in town!


PUMP has been impeccably designed by Ms Vanderpump herself. The only issue is...low hanging chandeliers and tree branches. UGH!


Ken and Pandora were there too! Here is the back of Ken's head.


We loves having a fancy new place to play!


The garden outdoor is filled with low-hanging trees and is verrrry romantic (and unfriendly to talls).


We were seated at a table right next to Lisa's table so we took lots of sneaky pictures. She was there having dinner with her fellow housewife of Beverly Hills, Joyce!!!


Here's Joyce...


And there's Lisa!


Lady Di and Poppy came to play also!


At one point as I was making my way through the garden, I ended up walking behind Lisa. She turned, saw me, and grabbed my arm as I ducked under a tree branch apologizing for not designing the place with me in mind...it was so sweet.

From now on whenever I go there she will always remember me. And then we will be best friends. It is done.

LOVES LA!!!!!


Pump is also featuring Lisa's brand new line of Vanderpump Sangria...it is DELICIOUS. She's going to be the next Bethenny...just you wait and see.



OMG David Allan made an appearance too!


And Steven! Hoooray!



Well...life can't be all giants and rose, but it should be!

Saturday I drove out to Palm Springs for Charlie & Yohannes's Wedding. It was beauuuutiful. (It was also VERY VERY HOT. 106 degrees. We stayed indoors most of the day. )

Still got great pics though!



Then on Sunday I drove back to LA and on my way stopped at the LA Arboretum for an engagement shoot with Rehman and Kayla, whose wedding will bring my back to LA in about a month...



And for the grand finale to my trip, I ended up at Palm Restaurant in West Hollywood where I met up with Eric and Ming-Na for an epic dinner.


Ming's show - Agents of SHIELD - is coming back for a second season!!!

Fantastic end to a fantastic trip.

Britney Night 2 (Long Version)

Third times the best or whatever they say right?

And it was. It really was.

We went because my fellow giant friends Daniel and John had extra tickets. This time for the front standing-room section where I saw the show the first time.


This time we went and waited in line so we could be the first ones in the arena and grab the best possible standing spot ever. This left us lots of time to take selfies...


Oh girl...look at the sequined tranny mess...


The lights were so bright though...they kept shining right in our faces!!! Did I already talk about this? I feel like I did. Sorry.



We made other tall friends too.



Love this show SO MUCH!!!





As did DanielK.





Angel confetti!!!!



Rusty was not impressed.





Brit you are still so fierce, I don't care what they say.






As are you Mr. Willie!





























Hates being in the front row though because it takes FOREVERRRRRR to exit the arena.


After the concert we went to Piranha.


Where we found other giants!


And some dancers!


Yay!




There was also a performance by some semi-famous trannies. Fun fun.
