Isn’t it genius? Too cool. I want one so badly! KoreAm’s giving one away, but i work there so i cant enter. my coworker says it’s super comf. ya’ll should enter– a friend of mine won the last giveaway* so i think everyone has a pretty good chance of winning.
*i promise koream’s winner picking process is legit and fair. and i have nothing to do with that part of the contest anyway, so it’s completely random that my homie won.

Mondrian and Lt. Dan…Choi
Friday, July 17th, 2009
I was driving around the development at Playa Vista today. Saw a Mondrian-inspired complex. It was as if one of his canvases grew grew and grew into a huge, four story, 3D cube or something. Even the windows and colorful rectangles are in line with his geometric style. Totally cool, but does anyone else feel like it’s totally 90′s? I’d love to live in this building, but I don’t know how long that lovinfeeling would last. I’m usually drawn to more classical features in a choosing a potential home.
I was in that area because I was on my way to the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City. I guess it’s all for good reason, but the security there is really strict! They had restrictions on what type of identification I had to have with me, where I can or can not take pictures, and even where I
can or can not walk! This is a picture of the Loews theater they have on site.
The lot was beautiful. Everything looked like a movie set (cuz it was), but what’s cool was that they had real restaurants and cafeterias assimilated into these sets. All the people dining looked really important, with their badges on and that ‘i have places to go, people to see’ look on their faces. Large company campuses always amaze me, I’m such a noob. The Rita Hayworth Dining Room here was really pretty, very art deco. 
I was working the entire time there, so I didn’t have time to walk around and explore, enjoy the free food or drinks. Aw shucks.
I was there for the world premiere of “Silent Partners” and to photograph Lt. Dan Choi, one of the presenters of the film. He was so nice, and a reallly easy person to shoot. Very cooperative and a natural in front of the camera (haha, I can’t believe i just said that). After the photoshoot and the interview, he sat down next to me in the theater, and all these people were approaching him and trying to talk to him. It made me think about how tiring it must be to be famous. How does he keep a smile on like that? Very nice, passionate man. This picture is of me and him. I know my head looks HUGE, but watever. I’ll post pictures from the shoot after they make it to the mag (crossing fingers).
Your Bright Future
Thursday, June 25th, 2009
Went to the press preview of LACMA’s new exhibit, Your Bright Future: 12 Contemporary Artists from Korea on Wednesday. It was the museum’s off day, but the BCAM wing was bustling with reporters, photographers, and artists, all awaiting the premiere of the first show at a museum featuring only contemporary Korean artists in the US. It was a really great exhibit to experience. Some really fun and smart pieces were showcased.
Free food, woot woot
That’s a traditional Korean house smashed in, Wizard of Oz style, into a western home.

Fellow intern, Janice!
Managing editor, Michelle! Thanks for inviting us~
Behind “Urban Light” in the BCAM courtyard is an installation called “Happy Happy”. It’s made of colorful plastic containers all bought at the various 99cent stores scattered throughout LA. Artist Choi Jeong Hwa uses it to demonstrate how art should be accessible, cheap, and happy. Us KoreAm girls were just hanging out around his installation, taking pictures against the colorful backdrop, when the artist himself popped up out of nowhere and asked if he could take pictures of us hanging out. He encouraged us to touch go inside the strings of … plastic. Interaction with art is always fun. I took a picture of him too, he was too cute: “Your heart is my art”. <33333!!
