Recommendations and Suggestions

Greetings! This Aussie is leaving the land down under and flying to California this July for Comic-con and other adventures. Therefore, I'm in desperate need of recommendations...for everything. I wanna know places to see (the weird and the wonderful), places to eat, places for thrifting and vintage stuff, places to get makeup cheap, little holes in the wall worth looking at, etc. Don't be shy! Any suggestions are welcome! I wanna cram as much stuff into my 3 weeks as possible. So I hope to get a deluge of comments (>^ω^<)

Recent op-shop haul where bags and shoes were half price. I also bought a plain black toiletries bag and a white slip, but I didn't think they were worth posting.

Some cute op-shop buys my best friend made on my behalf. The red sequins on the birdie are much brighter in real life.

Awesome eBay purchase. Gloomy Bear = love.

Look at the cuteness! An adorable little notepad and kitty novelty eraser. My friend gave them to me for no apparent reason except for 'long time, no see'.

Some delightful purchases I made the other day! - Red stripey top: on sale at Gallery Serpentine at Newtown. The tote was a cute, and free, extra. - Stripey stockings from In Visible Light at Newtown. - Pink Frankenstein pouch: on sale from Dangerfield. - Cherry Blossom scented hand cream from L'occitane.

I Want A Tattoo

I don’t know what my first one should be. I was originally gonna get something on the back of my calves, but I’m planning on doing laser hair removal on my legs soon. Apparently the lasers damage the tattoo, so I’m gonna do that one later. Which leads me back to…

What should my first tattoo be?

I have several ideas, but they’re mostly bigger pieces and I was planning on doing a small one to test the waters.

Should I just go big or go home? Or go with the water testing option?

Shelf of Alpacassos! All, but one, of these cuties were won at PuriKura Photo land via the awesomeness that is skill-testers (AKA claw machines AKA UFO catchers).
