I’ve officially retired my first attempt at a blog, ladykeli.com. You can read my final entry here or below.
That’s not to say that I’m done blogging about food, recipes, restaurants, photographs, etc. Everything has been migrated to this site (now renamed to Lost in Mastication), under the same categories. In fact there are three restaurant reviews that are still in draft mode that I’ll publish officially here (The Brentwood, Café R&D, and Roscoe’s). POW’s have migrated here too!
Read moreI’m officially retiring ladykeli.com. Albeit I enjoy food, dining, entertaining and the likes still, I’ve decided that this iteration of Intrigue (v5) is done. Part of it is because I’m done with being “ladykeli” – a nickname that came from being a part of “krews” and the import showoff scene in the 90s.
Lost in Mastication began after my travels to Italy with @Padrepablo and our friends, the Mucciaros. I realized I had so much to say that I couldn’t quickly communicate to friends and family alike via Facebook, MySpace or Flickr back then. In fact, the title was @Padrepablo’s idea, inspired of course from one of our favorite movies, Lost in Translation.
Through this effort I’ve learned a lot about new media, how to write for the Web, and even made some connections with old and new friends alike.
This isn’t to say I’m leaving the blogosphere! If anything, I’m still here in full force at sherrymain.com (aka Intrigue v6.0), and blog about all things food, photo, social media, policy, and whatever else tickles my fancy. In fact, I’ve imported all of my posts from here to over to the new blog. And I can be followed regularly on Twitter @sherrymain.
Adieu.
I took this photo sometime back at the beach below Montage for Chris and Gina’s engagement shoot. We went around to all the places that they shared firsts together in Orange County (Triange Square, OCC, etc.)
It was Chris’s idea to “hold” the sunset, which made for a nice shot.
We spent about 12 hours together this day, and I’d say there were probably a dozen good shots – one for each hour – that I was happy with.

A picture paints a thousand words, indeed.
