Lorena Cupcake's photostream  

I live in the swarming interior of Chicago. My life is blinking bike lights, swerving taxis, iridescent street lamps, ice white snow drifts, filthy streets, gravel muck and snow slush, Lake Michigan, cupcake bakeries, Wrigley Field, John Hancock, Hot Dog's, LSD (not that LSD, Lake Shore Drive) and one way streets, Wicker Park and Pilsen and the Blue and the Red and the Green Line.

I've been known as Juliet or Juliet Banana on the internet since junior high but I recently started using my real legal name, Lorena Cupcake. I say Lorena "lore - a - nuh" but feel free to mispronounce it in your head if it makes you happy. You cannot call me "Cuppy," but Cupcake and Cakester are both acceptable.

I think the major themes of my life are pretty easily identifiable from the photos but I love food and fashion. In the same way I am not Thomas Keller but still hella love to eat, I am not a model but I like to wear clothing that appeals to me, if not to common sense and decency. I am just a normal young lady with an autophotographical streak.



What you see is what you get. I try to maintain a sense of decorum, at least after Mr. Chalk's infamous Shit or Gold group got shut down. I expect you to as well, my little netiquette-impaired dumplings. I delete graphic and creepster comments, and I won't write you back if you come on like a CSI-villian flickr stalkr. There's plenty of that everywhere else on the internet.

I wish I was a super genius in one specialized field, but I'll settle for being mediocre at a chunk of things. I think everyone has their strengths and if we work together, we can get more done.



If you ever need anything drawn, cooked, baked, sewn, ironed, or decorated, I'm your girl; I think I was Donna Reed in another life. I am good at cheering people up and bringing soup to sick people. I can walk in 6 inch heels. I can usually tell where a recipe went wrong and I will always say something if someone's facial hair totally does not suit them. I am good at making goofy faces and shamelessly camwhoring it up. I reliably reply to emails and randomly send postcards in the mail.



I am interested in meeting people who are good at digital coloring, photography, photo retouching, web design, wearing nu-rave sunglasses, logotype, altering clothing, smiling toothily, staying on top of new music releases, making up slang, making t-shirts, packing bowls, finding great natural light, spotting neat signs, trading internet links, and who have invites to private bit torrent trackers. Maybe you have a sweet collection. Maybe you need someone to practice your awesome photography skillz on. Maybe you are generous with bummed cigarettes. I am sure there's something about you that would make me want to be your friend.

If you are interested in being part of my super hero best-friends-forever superteam, just email me or AIM/Gtalk message me. I am easy to talk to and seldom cruel. Worst possible case, we don't have much in common. But just think; we could change our lives. We could change the world. We can keep each other from boredom, at least.
