Fascinating bottles

Alcohol bottles and perfume bottles have quite a few things in common. They both come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes. And their branding has a lot to do with how their bottles look! I am always fascinated by the shapes and colors each brand chooses and how that affects my reaction to the product. Though I don’t use perfume and don’t drink alcohol, I certainly do love to check out their chose of packaging.

They've also got over-sized bottles of Grey Goose and Belvedere.

license plate decorated with sticker strips

I've seen a couple of people who take the extra tab from their annual sticker and place it on their license plate too. Looks like this car's been through many a year!

mgm building shrouded by marine layer

At night in LA, there is often this marine layer that comes in and gives everything a foggy feel. Makes the entire night sky a sort of glow.

Hahaha, what a cheeky way to bring attention to their store, which is kind of blocked by the gas station.

Ever wondered how a cilantro leaf gets to be the way it is?  Well, here’s a step by step guide for you!

little cilantro buds about to bloom

First you get the buds...

white cilantro flowers budding

...that bloom into flowers!

thin little cilantro leaves

Then they give way to little, unrecognizable leaves.

cilantro leaves getting thicker

The little leaves start to thicken.

cilantro leaves taking form

Eventually they start to get the shape and form of cilantro leaves.

full-grown cilantro leaves

Finally they look like the leaves you get atop your favorite dish!

very full cilantro leaves

They get to a point where they won't get bigger.

dying cilantro leaves turning yellow

After awhile they begin to die and lose their coloring.

dead cilantro leaves completely wilted

Finally, they end up limp and wilted as they give way to new sprouts.

And the whole life cycle can be seen from top to bottom. 🙂

Ok, not even, but I get one sound byte in this episode of MTV’s Hired. I got a sneak peek of the episode at Energy Muse’s 10 Year Celebration in a bar in Manhattan Beach. Hence the MTV logo on the cake. It was a yummy cake too! I love the ones with a fresh strawberry layer in the middle.

In Los Angeles, you know they’re filming something nearby when you see signs like this.   The distinctive yellow with black lettering, and a word or phrase that doesn’t mean much.   I was once told that the Mission Impossible 3 signs said “Heyday” so people wouldn’t really know what was going on.  We had them for Wristcutters!

I'd pronounce this "Europe" - wouldn't you?
