Violet Sightings: Purple Cafe- Pacific Beach, San Diego, CA
Over the Thanksgiving Holiday, I gave thanks and went out west to my origins on the West Coast- California.
As luck (and a good friend) would have it, we stumbled upon a bombardment of violet entities while in San Diego and Pacific Beach (or known to locals as “PB” ) is a purple spectacle all on its own- and not in a Barney kinda way.
While lunching, we came up on the Purple Cafe on Grand Ave. Decked out with lavender walls ( and the scent- to add a special touch). It instantly took me away from my fond memories of PB Bar and Grill and, Moondoggies and Typhoon Saloon in the evening. This was the gem that instantly relaxed, drew you in and melted the stress.
My favorite takeaway from the Purple Cafe? The Jimi Hendrix, violet framed piece behind the barista.

Lavande Lyrics: “Where The Boys Fear To Tread”
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
On dead highways, her black beauties roam for June angels.
So far from home, for a love lost, a faded picture.
To tread lightning, to ink the lavender sky.
- Where Boys The Fear to Tread by Smashing Pumpkins from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Who is this new purple persona?
Yes, we’re talking about Rihanna, who has unleashed her violet vampness for Paris Fashion Week Spring 2010 at Gareth Pugh’s very grey, very greyt show. This looks like the job for MAC’s Glimmerglass in Blackfire- a superb gloss with sheer black and purple hues.
She was spotted again in the front row of Balmain’s Spring 2010 show looking Lavande-Garde!
