1. Lucky #SIX. Cheeseburger Date #15

    I was surprised to find chicken & waffles on the menu at The Six.  Tempting, but I was there for the Cheeseburger of course!  I’d read about it in AAA’s WestWays Magazine.  Yes, I read every issue in hopes to find some new CA place that might be worth trying & The Six happened to be local & the article bragged about the burger.  I headed over for a very late lunch at about 3:45p.m.  The Six is located on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City.  It really is in the thick of it!  Parking was fine when I was there, but I couldn’t imagine it at night when its busy.  Be warned. 

    The space was small, but outfitted with recycled woods & up-cycled fixtures.  It has a modern antique vibe.  I sat outside.  There is a beautiful large outdoor back patio area that was very nice.  I could see enjoying a meal with a large group of friends in this area.  For beverages, I went for their lemonade. 

    When I asked the server if it was Minute Maid, she shot me a look of death and said “Oh no, we make it here.”  Good.  I don’t want to pay $3 a glass for store bought shit.  Usually I find lemonade to be too tart, but The Six’s lemonade was perfect. 
    The Cheeseburger was large and juicy.  I enjoyed every last bite.  The fries were crispy and came out in the fancy paper cone.  I think that is just one way restaurants make it look like they are giving you a larger portion than they are.  It was actually plenty given the size of the Cheeseburger. 

    I wish I would have tried out The Six during a busier time, because the service was a bit lax due to the simple fact that they were prepping for a dinner service that would start at 6:30p.m.  They are closed from 4:30-6:30p.m.  Now I also didn’t account for getting stuck in 5 o’clock traffic on my drive home, but so it goes.  At least my belly was full, I had a smile on my face & the 25 Degrees Cheeseburger Date was now far behind me.

  4. Spotted these uber colorful “jeggings” @ Target in s-XL! They are nice & thick for good coverage & cooler Fall temps. Can you tell I’m dying for Fall?! Dying.

  6. Brilliant!

    Here’s a solution to get my bikini body NOW!

    I had the HUGE pleasure of working with (I assisted the hairstylist) Joanne Gair 17 years ago on the Nine Inch Nails video for A Perfect Drug.  She is also the mastermind behind all the body painted swimsuits you probably have seen in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, but I prefer this shot!!   I love her lavender hair color too!

  7. Ridiculously Super Cool!

    I funded LUMI Inkodye on Kickstarter! I can’t wait to get my kit in September & start creating cool tops, etc!  You know I am gonna do something cool with a Cheeseburger or 5!  I love the thought that regardless of my size, I can easily create something unique & fantastic to wear!  I’m counting down to September & hopefully my weight will too!  Plumply yours, :0 brig

  8. Bought a bikini. JUICY from Nordstrom’s Rack so you know I got a killer deal! Oh, um no, it doesn’t fit yet, but it will in another 30lbs. I figure instead of finding a bikini to fit that body, I’d work my body down into this bikini. :) I’m planning on Hawaii before X-mas! My next Cheeseburger Date will be this Sunday! It’s gonna be epic!! Stay tuned… :O Plumply yours, brig
