the so-cal finer things club

on rare occasions the planets align and small groups of us have the same time off. that's when the call goes out.
NEWS TEAM...
ASSEMBLE!
here's some shots from our latest rare occasion.
kim's favorite shot of mine from the whole day was this first shot of alyssa. aren't her eyes just dreamy? she's like a tall cool glass of water.

i know what you're thinking. yes, alyssa is a natural blue.

since i promised to stick to the brethren code of the photographers i shall not post some of the sweetest pictures ever taken of melissa, so here she is... looking fierce. if only i had enough requests to break said code, i would post my favorites.
if only.

senorita emilita,

smokin hot,

model ferocia,

queen of the jungle.

thanks be to emily for getting us all together.

kim calls this one "babes in the woods."

sure, jamie is blogless, but with a face as pretty as this...she can get away with it. until the next time we bug her. :)

Squeaky, uh, squeak, sqeaker, squeakin'.
Are you talking to that squirrel?
I was a junior chipmunk, uh, and I had to be versed in all the woodland creatures.

if you look up ally in a dictionary she doesn't sound nearly as hot as she actually is. stick with picture books people.

we love her smile to pieces.

princess jasmine... she's smart, fun. the hair, the eyes. anything. pick a feature.
we love her dimples.

we love ann-ime eyes.
kim didn't get it. it's pronounced anime.
when are my writers coming back? i thought the strike was over.

melissa and tim shared a nice intimate moment...

with about 12 photographers.

it's all good. we're ohana.

My, what beautiful blossoms we have this year.

susan is the most beautiful blossom of them all.

when the lights go down in the city
and the sun shines on the bay
i want to be there in my city
eating nachos.
bang, we hit the city baby, dead on! for a little drinks, a little night-life, dancing.
the following is based on actual events. only the names, locations and events have been changed.

i'll have three fingers of glenlivet, with a little bit of pepper... and some cheese.

i spy with ally's eye...aaron, samantha, and tim. :)

julia and brandon were all hugged up enjoying the sweet sweet sounds of karaoke journey.

what do you love?
i love poetry, and a glass of scotch, and, of course, my friend Baxter here.

i love scotch. scotchy, scotch, scotch. here it goes down, down into my belly.

???

everycarlie was kung-fu fighting.

those kids were fast as lightning.

the kick is up... and it is GOOD!

let's go over the groundrules. rule number 1: no touching of the hair or face... AND THAT'S IT!

a song came on during karaoke that carlie had never heard before. "who sings this" she asked.
try as he might, gabriel could not stop the words "ACE OF BASE!" from coming out.

if you missed this one, we hope to see you for the next get together. fyi, nobody got trashed (that we know of), but here's our p.s.a. in case any of you want to try this at home.
all kidding aside for a minute, we like to have fun as much as anyone, but if you know you're going to be drinking, make sure you have a designated driver that's as bright eyed as gabriel here. if you don't have someone as cool as gabriel by your side, please don't drive. sleep it off, or if you're in san diego give us a call. i'm usually up late.

here's looking at you. stay safe out there.
to everyone that made it out with us, thank you for the fun and fellowship. kim and i really enjoyed spending the day with you all. we hope to be able to do it again really soon.
