As a woman with a serious raw seafood fetish, I dream about oyster bars.
It’s pretty much my idea of heaven.
So when I heard that the hip hip hooray bar that is Delphine at the W Hotel in Hollywood, CA had a fresh Raw Bar Monday, which consisted of plenty of seafood going at only a mere buck and two for each, my ears perked and my mouth started salivating. Heaven, here I come! Continue Reading »
The just-released iPhone 4S looks crazy so it’s only fitting that you have an even crazier case to go with it.
In comes the id America soft foam pads.
The foam pads cover the back of the iPhone and there’s also a clear protector for the front. I like how the pads are light and thinner than a normal case, yet I feel like the foam protects the phone.
But the coolest thing is the funky colors and patterns the cases come in. So fun and easy to switch out according to your mood!
The cases sell for $11.99 each but Audrey Magazine is giving away cases to FOUR (4) lucky readers!

“I’m a dirty, dirty girl.”
I thought this to myself as I watched flecks of my own skin roll of my arms and legs.
I’m at Wi Spa, getting the ultimate Korean Spa treatment. Have you heard of it? Are you ready to hear about it?
‘Cause it can sound like a porno film. Or a cooking show… (weird, but you’ll get it later).
At this spa experience, pretty much all your shenanigans are done in the buff. You go to the jacuzzi pools in the buff, you get a scrub in the buff, you get massaged in the buff.
I headed there on a rainy weekday, wide-eyed for what I will encounter for the afternoon. Continue Reading »
I’ll admit, collecting hotel shampoos and conditioners has become a sort of a hobby of mine. I just love their compact size for traveling! (Although, irony of irony, when I go to a new place, I usually don’t use my looted hotel toiletries, I use the new ones in the new hotel).
This winter, I’m not going to hide away and hibernate, I’m planning on doing some hefty traveling and what better set to carry with me than Hugo Naturals Winter Retreat Pack?
Available in Vanilla & Sweet Orange and French Lavender, each pack sells for $14.99 and includes:

Lisa Ling, Margaret Cho, and Jan Yanahiro have joined other females to speak out on media’s poor representation of women in a new documentary out aptly entitled Miss Representation.
With shocking stats of the low percentage of women in power, combined with tell-tale images captured from various music videos, television shows, and computer games from the media, the trailer for the doc has already caught on like fire over the internet.
“The media can be an instrument for change, it can awaken people and change minds. It depends on who’s piloting the plane.” — Katie Couric.
What are your thoughts on the stats and statements made from the Miss Representation trailer?

Cool, comfortable headphones are hard to find. You have ones that are really good to use but ugly to look at, or vice versa.

Every woman’s face or body has a different story to tell. We may be bombarded by the mainstream media’s message of what beautiful is supposed to be, but we know that beauty comes in all shapes, colors, and sizes. Here, an Asian American woman proves it.

In a recent Glee episode, wannabe Broadway superstar Rachel Berry contemplates getting a nose job, despite her adulation of Barbra Streisand. The episode was one Chinese American Nebula could empathize with. Having grown up with a distinctive nose, one her parents always touted as “the highest-bridged Asian nose they could find,” Nebula is also in the acting industry, one where sometimes how you look is more important than how you act. “I just don’t have that typical Asian look when they’re looking for the [button-nose] and everything,” says Gu.
Sometimes looking atypical has its upsides. While on jury duty, one man recognized Nebula. “He’s like, ‘Have I seen you before? Your nose, it’s really distinctive. … it makes you really special,” Nebula remembers. “I thought that was so sweet.”
Whether or not she’ll have a career like Barbra Streisand who “defined a whole generation,” Nebula is confident she’ll continue working. “Character actors work,” Nebula says. “They have a tremendous opportunity because there are so many cookie cutter [faces] — that’s an opportunity for you to stand out.”
