Gilberto and I ordered our new business cards on Moo.com at the recommendation of Dagnushka — and after nearly two months and ten nasty emails, our business cards finally arrived this past week (in 5 amazing variations nonetheless). During the ordeal Gilberto would “cc” me on the emails. An example below…
Hello sir,
With all due respect asking [...]

Pass the Shmear: Zinsky’s Delicatessen & Catering Co.
Posted in Dallas, Food/Drinks on Jul 30th, 2009
My buddy (and food wizard) Thomas took me to a brand new Brooklyn-style deli in Preston Royal for lunch today. Shockingly, Dallas doesn’t have many Jewish delis and being from LA, I have always been huge fan of eating reubens or matzo ball soup while surrounded by grandparents. No one can touch Nate ‘n Al’s. [...]
Day Trip To CHICAGO
Posted in Design, Photography, Travel on Jul 30th, 2009
Went to Chicago today for a few hours with Papa Shok. Not much to report but I did notice the Sears Tower changed names to Willis Tower. You must have quite an ego to rename a historic landmark after yourself. Go figure.
Desperate Times, Desperate Measures?
Posted in Dallas, Desperate, Stupid Shit on Jul 29th, 2009
I almost caused a four-car pileup trying to chase this dude’s truck on Turtle Creek (aka Wilshire Blvd of Dallas). Hmmmm… SMU Business School graduate, unable to find a job via “normal” avenues, desperate enough to turn his car into a mobile craigslist ad. It’s official folks: the recession has hit Texas!
If you recall, a while back we did a post on the new Cowboys Stadium ahead of its completion. This past Sunday, Gilberto and a couple homeys rolled up to the Chelsea v Club America soccer match with some lovely arm-candy in tow. In true Helloooooo.com style, we parked 15 feet from the Stadium and [...]
Nani Luau
Posted in Music, Nightlife, Photography on Jul 28th, 2009
Darq Matter — a DJ duo comprised of Jean Philippe-Bartier and Omar Hasan — played the Helloooooo.com “Luau” on Saturday night and they tore it up. These dudes have a certain spunk and uniqueness to them I have yet to see eslewhere. Wish I had more pictures of the event but the days photoshoot wore me out.
Heads Will Roll

This past Saturday, our team had the fortune of collaborating with one of the most influential fashion bloggers today. The results? You’ll just have to wait and ’sea.’

Cool Bag: COS Backpack
Posted in Travel on Jul 25th, 2009
Where was this type of backpack when I really needed one? The good thing about this bag is that even if you don’t need one, you want one. Its classic, stylish, and perfect for anywhere.
Helloooooo.com is proud to invite you to a Luau Party this Saturday, July 26th. Sounds will be provided by HOYOTOHO and Darq Matter. BYOB.
So GD cool. Design is perfect when you see it and say “of course.” Fucking awesome!
Disco!
Posted in Dallas, Food/Drinks, Nightlife, Photography on Jul 23rd, 2009
The disco ball was gleaming, the photographers were shooting, and the models — well the models were just looking hot. Last nights “Gold” party co-hosted by ETCx2! and Helloooooo.com was a total success. More pictures to follow.
Nobody Gettin’ Out Alive

Took this picture in a building in Oak Cliff I broke into over the weekend. Pretty scary if you ask me.
Poolside Garment of The Year Award
Posted in Dallas, Fashion, Photography, Stupid Shit on Jul 20th, 2009
Unfortunately I had to see this one with my own eyes. I’m not sure if this was a practical joke or not (probably not) but kudos to the guy for doing his own thing. I just pray his friend in the water with his thumbs up behind him is not also wearing the same thing.
The Basement @ Suite
Posted in Dallas, Food/Drinks, Lifestyle, Nightlife, Photography on Jul 19th, 2009
The Basement at Suite has once again proven to be a hot spot. This past Friday Gilberto and I along with the rest of the crew headed there after dinner and drinks at the new Geisha House in Dallas. Next week we are co-hosting the “Gold” party at Suite along with ETCx2 and Hoyotoho!. Hope to see everyone there.
Late Night Dallas Eating: Metro Diner
Posted in Dallas, Food/Drinks, Nightlife on Jul 19th, 2009
Metro Diner has been a personal favorite of mine for years and had recently heard a rumor it had closed down. Not the case apparently. Metro Diner is still hands-down the best late night diner/restaurant in Dallas and is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The best part is you never know who or what [...]
Free Drinks, Expensive Hangover: Geisha House @ Gables Villa Rosa
Posted in Dallas, Food/Drinks, Nightlife on Jul 18th, 2009
After several long months of noisy construction, several different owners, endless speculation and random Asian dudes smoking cigarette after cigarette, Geisha House at Villa Rosa finally opened to the public last night. Shok, myself and the gang made the (short) trek to the newest dining spot in Uptown Dallas. Dubbed as a ‘hibachi’ restaurant, I [...]
Coming Soon
Posted in Dallas, Fashion, Food/Drinks, Nightlife, Photography on Jul 18th, 2009
Last night was pure insanity. Post coming soon on the opening of Geisha House @ Villa Rosa in Uptown Dallas, and pictures from the Basement @ Suite. Taylor William Ghrist (below) at Suite rocking the hardest outfit of the evening — by far.
Cops & Robbers
Posted in Dallas, Lifestyle, Music, Nightlife, Photography on Jul 17th, 2009
After the soft-opening of “Park” last night, I headed to Fallout Lounge (in the outfit above) to meet up with the homeys and take a few pictures at their “Cops & Robbers” party. The tattoo-friendly crowd had me almost wanting to wear fake sleeves just to fit in. Tonight I am going to the soft opening of a [...]
Park – Dallas, TX
Posted in Dallas, Design, Food/Drinks on Jul 17th, 2009
Last night was the soft opening of restaurateur Donald Chick’s “Park” on Henderson. The layout and design of the place reminded me of a modern-day, eclectic version of The Beverly Hills Hotel sprinkled with some Southern flare. The lighting and ambiance were on point, as was the food. We shared the mussels and pizza to start and for my main course [...]
Dead Man’s Curve
Posted in Dallas, Photography, vintage on Jul 16th, 2009
Yesterday while driving in the bo-dunks of Dallas, I took a few shots having ventured off into no-man’s-land just past “Dead Man’s Curve” off Highway 175-Kaufman. On the one side you had the Confederates, while on the other, “The Black Warriors.” Having no idea what we were doing there, my friend Aaron and I luckily [...]
July 16, 1945: Manhattan Project “Trinity”
Posted in Photography, Technology on Jul 16th, 2009
Sixty-four years ago today, Manhattan Project: “Trinity”, the first nuclear test explosion, was detonated near Alamogordo, New Mexico. The Trinity detonation was equivalent to the explosion of around 20 kilotons of TNT and is usually considered the beginning of the Atomic Age.
Although colored movies were taken of the Trinity test, they were of poor quality [...]
Coolout @ The Cavern
Posted in Dallas, Nightlife, Photography on Jul 15th, 2009
Every Monday, the Cavern hosts “Coolout Mondays”. This week, I couldn’t stay for too long b/c I had to be up early the next day. But for the few minutes I was there, I was able to shoot a couple regulars.
Dagnushka, Revisited
Posted in Austin, Dallas, Photography on Jul 14th, 2009
These pictures of our very own Dagnushka deserve to be posted on their own. She leaves me speechless.
