2010... already?

Tortoise Life

Really, where does it go?!?!
I pretty much hibernated from Xmas till New Years. I vegged. A guilty but satisfying feeling. Best to all for the new year!

A little treat: Kooza

The last few months have been quite hectic because of the holiday season. Now that it's drawing to a close (regarding preparing and delivering goods), I can finally begin to relax.

Well, it started with a little surprise treat from Pirco last night. We went to Cirque du Soleil's, "Kooza." It was another edge of your seat, make your hands sweaty performance with their creative signature costume design. Circus has come a long way since Ringling Barnum, my first experience. In fact, it's so un-circus like. It's just beautiful performance.

In Times of Sadness...

We are still grieving the loss of a community member. We are sorry that she is gone. I wish we had known her. At times like this, it makes you reflect upon a lot of things. It makes you remember what's important to you.

Candlelight Memorial for Eun Kang

I've been gripped by intense ANGER and sorrow the last few days regarding the heinous crime against Eun Kang, a fellow Venetian, also of Korean descent with ties to New York. I prefer not to go into details on Rabbit's blog but anyone who do not know about this and wish to find out more, here is the LA Times article.

It has shaken our tiny but vibrant community. There will be a candlelight memorial on December 14, 2009 - Monday, 6pm at 1660 Electric Ave. For more info, please call Jim at 310.386.1698.

My deepest regret and sympathies to Ms. Kang's family and friends. Even though we have never met, you will always be remembered.

Rabbit Kinney Buttons

People tell me that they like the Rabbit, but they don't necessarily want apparel, especially the onesies (this is the 18-30 age range). So I'm further expanding the women's line, as most of the designs are for children and diversify even more (I swear, the plush and the book are still in the works!). So this week, I am introducing the Rabbit Kinney buttons, which can pretty much accommodate anyone.

Take a look. I think it's pretty cute.
