Adventures to the Jim Morrison Cave












"Look up how to get to The Jim Morrison Cave," he asked me to do before we got on our way to discover this obscure place. I googled it, and followed the pinpoint to where it corrected as "The Corral Canyon Cave."
When we arrived to that destination, he turns to me and says "This is not it. It's not something you google. You have to really search for it."
I took a few moments and finally found a blog where the writer gave a detailed direction of how to get there from the point where you park your car to hiking towards the concealed entrance.

It was definitely more of an intense adventure than I was ready for. Nevertheless, the difficulty made it so much fun. After exploring and getting help from some hikers, we cam upon this extremely narrow cave opening that had the caution "Beware" spray painted all over the rocks…. It was intimidating.

We climbed through the cavity together and popped our heads into a world of a bubble gum pink trippiness. I've never seen anything like it, nor was I expecting anything like it:
Every inch of the cave was covered in crazy hand-painted illustrations. It is also known as "the Pink Vagina" because of the way its exit looks hahahaha!!!!!!

I was surpsied to have never seen any photos of this cave online or anywhere before. I thought it was so weird why such an extravagant place was not blown up by any of us artsy people here in Cali. 
I guess not everyone is down to put in the handwork of finding it…only the pirates deserve such a treat to experience the Jim Morrison Cave.

And a hippie pirate I was~

Le Boho Chat

When I go on my hikes, I am usually very inspired because I use that time to thoroughly connect with myself. My mind spurs many interesting ideas and thoughts as I absorb the surroundings with a clearer mind.
Recently, I was inspired to throw together a boho-chic styled coordi since I had this super cute white flare-sleeved top from LF Stores. 
With the rocky and sandy terrain in mind, I threw on the daisy-woven cat-ears to create an image of a cute little mountain lion.
The white furry fanny-pack added the last touch to bring the kitty to life.

In Japan, one of my favorite stores to visit is Spinns. They do a great job in providing the latest Japanese fashion trends in terms of pop street-wear.
What caught my eye the most was this Spanish-inspired textile of clothing. The fact that it was in baby pink made it jump to my part of the world. I also love that the shorts are laced up on the sides to snug your waist. Its just the perfect set of clothing to wear on a hot summer day, for festival-wear, to the beach, or literally anywhere casual! haha

Make Him Meow

She knows how to play the game well.
The wink of her eye, the softness of her fur, and the baby pink on her lips is how she lures in her prey.
She makes them believe they will receive kisses and cuddles;
but they are mistaken.
As they notice her black leather strappy heels and her raise of her whip, 
they begin to understand what they are in for.
At the end of the night, the meow is voiced from him.

Esqaping from the Digital World

Created in a facility by humans, this prototype is simply a poor girl.
Each day passes by and all she sees is white, cold, and emptiness.
A sanctuary they call it; but she says "prison."
She dreams of life outside the lab, where such things as freedom exists.
Many attempts of esqape.
Many failures bring despair. 
She wishes that it can be as easy as pushing [esq].
It almost seems impossible,
but thats how she knows that her esqape is worth it that much.

Relationships with Nature

My favorite part about living in LA is that I have access to nature.
Although I love the big city -and can't live without it,- I need the trees, mountains, and creeks to escape to at times.
I definitely take advantage of hiking up to the Griffith Observatory couple times a week. I use this environment as a mediation ground where I leave my phone at home and detach my self from the chaos. 
Aside from nature being good for my mental well-being, it's my main source of exercise since I don't like the whole social thing about gyms.
Thus I chose this location to feature my urban-boho look here:

The Shrine Awaits the Purest

It is in a castle's nature to attract princess'.
Its beauty, majesty, and power are all that entice her lavish eyes and heart
to want to drown herself in an extravagant and carefree world. 
It is in a princess's nature to attract castles. 
Its the twirl of her dress, her passionate dreams, and twinkle in her eyes
that make her belong nowhere else.
However when the day comes to an end, and the moonlight falls on the princess,
all evil is stripped away leaving only her purest form visible.
All the black, the wealth, the materials, and the attitude are blown out.
The girl feels naked and empty like her shoes, 
but, in reality, it is the most noble she's ever been.


Alive since 1612, here stands the Nagoya Castle located in Nagoya Central Japan.
It was during the Edo-period of Japan when the castle was housed by the Tokugawa lineage.
It was used to protect the position of the Tokaido Road and block attacks from the Osaka direction.
