The grass is always greener on the other side right? I always wanted curly hair growing up - the volume, the attitude, that pizazz! An exclusive club us straight haired folk could never join part in (barring perms, but come on that doesn't count). Anyway I have always had a special place in my heart for curls...like the Mariah Carey circa 1992 singing on MTV unplugged curls. So I decided, in my awe and wonder of such a glorious fur, I would begin a project to honor these blessed folks called "Kurl is King".

Part 1 features my friend Natalie - Accountant, Seamstress, and Style-fiend - she knows how to rock the curls in all their splendor and was a total natural in front of the camera.

I traveled to Los Angeles this last weekend on a feeble attempt to gather a lay of the land before moving down there this summer.

It was similar to this guy's attempt to break dance in the street...entertaining, ridiculous, strange, slightly horrifying... but all in all just great.

As a matter of fact I feel that life's new chapters could be summed up pretty well with those adjectives...I guess the moral of the story is to just keep on dancing through it all ;-)

Took a detour through the Mojave Desert on the way down. We passed through just at sunset resulting in an amazingly colorful evening....
