24 Hours in Los Angeles
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
Today I took a 24 hour road trip to Los Angeles. It was pretty liberating. My new car, my dog Max, and 12 hours of driving. I grabbed lunch with some friends in Santa Monica and then went back to San Francisco. Road tripping is an American cultural tradition and the I-5 is my favorite ribbon […]

posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street

The concept of the perfect American marriage or perfect self isn’t a new phenomenon.

Introducing McQueen

For decades, Steve McQueen was the “King of Cool” and the counter-culture anti-hero. Alexander McQueen was the chief designer at Givenchy and British fashion designer. Together the name McQueen is the pinnacle of fashion, culture, and style. In honor of Steve McQueen and Alexander McQueen, I name my BMW. McQueen is more than a purchase for me. […]

On a Monday evening, I discovered the TV series Transparent. It is about the journey one Transgender person embarks on. Lets start the post with one distinction: Sex and gender are 2 different things. Sex is between your legs. Gender is between your ears. I have the utmost respect for the Trans Community. They are […]
