Thailand Part II: Beach Bar, Bonfires, Buckets and Bonding

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 16, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareBonding can come in many forms. It can occur whilst enduring discomforts or stresses together. Or, through simply enjoying good times. I left off with a kinked neck and folded legs on a long bus ride from Bangkok. My co-volunteers and I were finally deposited at the port at 4:30 am and were told the […]

Bangkok: Orient-ation for My Volunteer Stint or: Temples, Trannies, Tigers and Toilet Paper

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 7, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareIt sounds more exotic than it was. Also, I’m not so philanthropic that I gave no thought to my own enrichment and enjoyment by traveling once again to Thailand, a country I have thoroughly enjoyed in the past. But this time, my final destination would be the island Ko Tao and what I hoped would […]

Who Put the Extra “u” in SuuperG?

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark September 23, 2010 Twitter

ShareDisclaimer: This is officially the silliest post I’ve ever done…and it does have competition! I have now been asked several times by people on Twitter (Paolo Terni, most recently) about the extra “u” I place in so many of my words. I wish there was an exotic and intriguing explanation, but really…it’s all in an […]

Santa Barbara: Like Visiting an Old Friend

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark September 4, 2010 Interactive Travel

ShareI grew up in west L.A. Good, bad and ugly, one of the good-est aspects of this childhood locale was it’s proximity to Santa Barbara. It’s hard to know how many people have heard of this gem of Southern California. I mean, I believe it’s fairly well known; If for no other reason than the […]

Belly Dance Bonzanza! Tribal Rendezvous in my town of Idyllwild

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 24, 2010 Belly Dance

ShareI figured out my own YouTube account just in time to share some gems from this event I participated in and enjoyed this past weekend. Which is a good thing, because when it comes to belly dancing and fusion dance styles, words just don’t do it justice! The entire production was planned and orchestrated by […]

Getting High: Mt. Whitney Madness Part II: Impressions (Emo Girly Version)

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 17, 2010 Hiking

ShareDoes that scare you? heehee Well, it should…for as structured as Part I was, this will be a complete disjointed rambling of silly thoughts and meanderings of my mind as my feet took me to new heights. Who wants to hear about the emotional facets of this climb? Well, my mom and sis will read […]

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 9, 2010 Hiking

ShareOK, so I had posted on an “interactive” travel/adventure segment that I was going to attempt hiking Mt. Whitney in one day and much to my glee and utter surprise, I DID it!

Interactive Travel: Mount Whitney One-Day Climb (Attempt!)

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 29, 2010 Hiking

ShareOK, so this next destination is not so much “travel” as “adventure”. This is how I must view an attempt at climbing Mt. Whitney in one day if I am to endure the blisters, fatigue, discomfort, dehydration, exhaustion…wow, are you envious yet? haha! I am putting it out there for my readers to offer tips, […]

Local Lemon Lily Festival and a Hike too!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 21, 2010 Hiking

ShareI had been pondering what of the myriad festivities I would participate in for our town’s Lemon Lily Festival. This was the first hopefully annual event to bring awareness to the presence of this wild yellow flower in our mountains and its absence from the creeks running through town where it was evidently once prolific. […]

Exfoliation Nation: Purging Turning into Splurging

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 14, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareNo, I’m not bulimic. I’m purging and using up tangible material things. Lately, this has translated into an ongoing ritual of baths filled with all sorts of lotions and potions collected from shopping sprees, travels and bestowed gifts. I have never before been so exfoliated, hydrated, exhilarated, cleaned, conditioned, primped, and REfoliated! I swear, ’tis […]

Family Fun and Faire Fare

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 6, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareFirstly, please don’t leave me because of my alliteration addiction. Addicts need love, too. Evidently, we also need to indulge in carb, fat and sugar laden treats whose visions and aromas waft unjustly to our senses at any county fair worth it’s salt. Oh yes, salted goodies, too, tempt the palate. This is not the […]

Parading in a Parade – Bellydancing

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 4, 2010 Belly Dance

ShareOK, so I know that usually, in “normal” towns across America, you can expect to see Independence Day parades with the tried and true red, white and blue. Children tugged along in Radio Flyer wagons, maybe even with the family Labrador Retriever adorned in a classic bandanna. Vintage American model convertibles and pick-up trucks, marching […]
