I love the Dough... More than you know...

This pink, unassuming food truck holds the key to happiness...

So on May 12th, I went to a Booger Kids event with little sister #2 in San Jose... I did this to my nails as a tribute to one of my favorite Bay Area Streetwear brands:

I love this damn brand!

After we stood in a ridiculously long ass line in the equally ridiculous hot ass San Jose heat, we decided to make our way to the Dough Truck, which is also owned and operated by the Booger Kids camp... Why is it called the Dough Truck, you ask? Well... Check the menu:

Yep, you read it right. The burgers come on a bun comprised of two glaze donuts!

Now little sis number two and I had heard of these kinds of burgers before from the show The Boondocks but we thought this was all just a myth. A hilarious myth. So when we saw that this was actually being done, we were wary at first... I mean... What kind of obese ridiculousness is it to eat a donut burger?! But, after witnessing countless other people consuming them to their satisfaction, we let our inner Drizzy out and gave it a whirl:

YOLO!

I had the gobble gobble with animal tots while she opted for the wild west with the loaded tots... Check it:

The box it comes in... Look at the grease! Mmmmm...

Look at the amazingness that awaits when you open the box!

Close up on the animal tots...

Close up on the deliciousness that is the gobble gobble...

Holy moly, these burgers are DELICIOUS! I was afraid it would be gross or weird but it was neither of those. I went IN on that burger! I totally forgot to take a picture of my nails while eating it... I haven't made it out there to get another one yet but when I do, I will make sure my nails are fly so I can send a pic of my good ass burger and my fly ass nails to my favorite tumblr, burgers and nails...

If ever you are in San Jose, I suggest you check them out... Me and Mark Zuckerberg can't be wrong!

Mark Zuckerberg knows what's up!

Stay classy...

Peace... And much lacquer to you.



Pride: Part Too

So, months and months ago I posted part 1 of my SF Pride story and said I would be back to post the second half after attending the event. Well this is what I ended up doing that day instead of actually going to Pride:

 Yeah, my foot was out of commission. I had to lay in bed all day with it elevated... It was all bad... But I wore my rainbow tie-dye socks in order to support from home...

In other rainbow news...

My sister (little sis #2) turned 19 in May (which was actually before Pride, but I digress) so I decided to throw her a small, intimate surprise party... It was an up, up and away balloon theme and the color scheme was rainbow! Here is a little of what I did:

Rainbow balloon wreath...

 Rainbow beverages (including brown and white for the lush's who were in attendance. Lol)...

 Rainbow fruit kabobs. These went like hotcakes!

Mini rainbow cakes. Everyone loved these! They were pretty good if I do say so myself. My niece helped me with the sprinkles, hence, the mess...

And these are her birthday nails, complete with Swarovski crystals:

 She picked this design even though she had no idea about her party or the theme. I know my sister well...

She definitely enjoyed herself and was super surprised about it all. We had a great time...

My birthday is coming up in November and my party will be themed after The Big Lebowski. I cannot wait!

Stay classy...

Peace... And much lacquer to you.

Ice Cream on a Rainy Day

Ben N' Jerry's on a rainy day in the Bay...

One scoop of Lemon Sorbet and one scoop of mango sorbet in a waffle bowl. It doesn't get much better than this.

The orange nails go well with it...

Stay classy.

Peace... And much lacquer to you.

Fast Food: I'm Goin' IN!

Popcorn chicken and Mashed Potato Bowl from KFC... Yummy!

Compliments the Flo-Jo nails nicely...

Stay classy.

Nail Mail: Holo be Thy Name...

I got a few new polishes in the mail the other day. I was really excited because two of them were holographic colors. I've never used holographic polish on my nails before (I know, I'm super late) so I decided to give them a go at work...

First I painted my coworkers nails. We're calling ourselves the Finger Food Club. This isn't the first time I've given her an impromptu manicure during lunch...

I painted her nails with a base coat of Sally Hansen Blackout followed by 2 coats of my newly acquired Nubar 2010. This was the ending result:

Looks pretty good, if I do say so myself. She loved it. The rest of the day, people kept coming to my desk asking me where I got that polish.

Then I painted my nails:

In natural light

Love (and Lacquer) Always Shines Everytime Remember 2 Smile (and use Seche Vite)

Inside Light

I love the holographic look. It's everything I expected it to be. Green is my favorite color so that made the experience all the more better. However, just plain polish with no "art" on my nails is terribly boring. I get tired of looking at the same design on my nails fairly quickly. And I rarely have just a plain color and that's it. Needless to say, I've taken this off and I'm already on to the next one.

Tomorrow's design is a Miles Davis inspired piece. I'll blog it when I get off work. In the meantime and in between time; here is an oldie but goodie design that I did on my sister's nails a few months back:

Our nails stay did around these parts

Alright, that's all for today...

Stay classy.

Peace... And much lacquer to you.

Spray Paint & Ink Pens... & Nail Polish...

If you know me, then you know I love Lupe Fiasco. No, seriously. Love.



I own multiple copies of all of his albums, I have some album art of his tattooed on my arm and I've been to 23 of his shows with no sign of stopping in the future... So, as you can see, it goes without saying--I love Lupe Fiasco. I actually love music in general so he is just the cherry on top of the cupcake that is music as far as I'm concerned.

Cupcake Nails!

There are several things I take VERY seriously. This blog is dedicated to 3 of them:

A) Food
2) My nails
D) Lupe Fiasco

My original plan was to title this blog Food & Lacquer but some chick took it and, by the looks of it she a) has never been back to her blog since stealing my name; 2) has no clue that the name is a play off of Lupe's first album Food & Liquor; and d) has no plans on posting anything food or lacquer related anytime soon...

It's all good though...

Much like the belief that all of us die-hard Lupe fans have that Food & Liquor 2 will be bigger and better than Food & Liquor, I believe that Food & Lacquer Too will be bigger and better than its predecessor. Hell, it already is... We've actually posted something!

Happy 5th Anniversary, Food and Liquor!

Stay Classy.

Peace... And much lacquer to you.
