At least she loves her body! (not her lips)
The last issue from Victoria's secret got a very unique girl on the back of the magazine. Let's say I'm glad at least she likes her body! because she definitely messed up her lips.

Modern art by the next generation
My friend's daughter M. is a very talented young girl. Her instructors say she is full of potential to become a new generation's Picasso or Kandinsky. The paintings are filled with freshness of the colors and the texture is just incredible (watercolors on canvas).
The picture was snapped with a phone and doesn't do the justice.
For any inquires about the paintings, possible sponsorship, future gallery exhibitions or if you are interested in obtaining any art pieces, please leave your message and email address in the comments.

Potatoes, garlic and onion/scallions
Garden in the kitchen made out of potatoes, garlic and onion (or is it scallions now?)
Unintentionally forgotten onion has produced scallions without any water, how convenient.

Gorilla snot gel rocker style
Gorilla snot hair gel rocker style (Moco de Gorila Gel "Snot Gorila Gel" Estilo Rockero).
What a fine product you can find at some ethnic stores, in this case it was hispanic Kikos in Fairview, NJ. Not sure about the price but I don't think it was more than $5.
Got experience with this product? Please do share!

Alice in Wonderland books
Alice in Wonderland books series at Barnes & Noble
The special (pink) leatherbound edition of Alice is very attractive but not commute friendly, so I had to settle for the green one (the one on the right side). The price difference is also very significant, pink one is about $20, the green one is $6.

To all shoe loving Cinderellas out there: most sizes plastic slippers are on sale at DSW right now.
On a side note: as goofy as they look, they actually fit pretty comfortable.

Goldman Sachs Tower is the tallest building in New Jersey just across Hudson River from his tall brothers in New York City.
The green old camera effect is the result of me playing with FxCamera app on HTC Eris (droid).

White tea loose leaves brewed (Thank you Natasha!)
Health fact according to the wikipedia:
A 2009 Kingston University study showed that white tea had high anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-collagenase, and anti-elastase properties which could potentially reduce the risks of developing rheumatoid arthritis, some cancers, heart disease & slow the enzymatic break down of elastin and collagen (ie wrinkles or sagging) which accompany aging.

Originally uploaded by LuceroDulce (46/365)
Cherry Hill Market is a Russian 24/7 food store located in Bensonhurst at 23rd ave and 86th st (Brooklyn, NY). No need to go to Brighton Beach anymore (for food or/and culture shock), anything you need is right here, excellent variety and quality as well.
The ceiling is decorated with the empty baskets but don't worry, they won't fall down on you.

Ugly shoes at Century21
Originally uploaded by LuceroDulce (38/365)
Century21 is carrying the ugliest shoes you can find in downtown Manhattan. They are either for whores or strippers, but the most important part they are not comfortable (yes I tried them on in order to explore some job options ;)

Brand New NY/NJ Path Train
Originally uploaded by LuceroDulce (35/365)
Looks like The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has invested a good amount of money into new path trains. The cars look brighter with 2 sets of flat tv's above the blue seats. The only thing that is not going to change is people leaving newspapers and trash behind.

No soup for you!
Originally uploaded by LuceroDulce (34/365)
The famous franchised version (originalsoupman.com) of the "Soup Nazi" in the Financial District in NYC.
small soup + bread + half sandwich + fruit + candy + 1 bottle of water = $11.33
I didn't have an orgasm from this soup so I can't say that it justifies the price. The people who work there are nice but when I grabbed a bottle of vitamin water (which I didn't mind to pay additionally for) they said I could only have a bottle of water or soda!?
