What's up, beautiful people? It is your homegirl, Shameless, and I am still in Los Angeles!
I'll be back soon. But until then, let's explore some sights and sounds, shall we?
First up is Downtown LA's Art Walk. It happens once a month on the second Thursday of every month.
And I happen to be strolling, and see this awesomeness.
This is artist Robert Vargas, and he is quite amazing.
Painting freehand, and he does this super fast. I'm talking 15-20 minutes.
ROBERT: This is some of my other work.
I painted it in the same manner you see here--just by sight. No grids, no projections.
MAYA: And that was taking place on Spring and 6th. And then I just walked over to this awesome store called Buttons and Bowties.
Also in part of the downtown Art Walk. And check this out. He is amazing.
So I continued my Art Walk and bumped into this awesome viewer, Eddy. Check him out on Instagram.
Eddy, we are doing the Art Walk here in Downtown LA.
Still part of the Art Walk, I headed over to Flamingo Vintage.
This store is super awesome and cute! So much personality.
If you're down for retro realness, check out this store.
Oh, and this new store I just discovered--it's brand spanking new, and they sell clothing that's made in the 80s,
that were stored in a warehouse, and they're sold brand new for the first time.
Which is an oxymoron. New, old. 80s, new? Anyways.
I got myself a lovely patterned shirt.
And then some time after that I met up with the homegirl Andrea Lewis, to film her Self Love Saturdays! Check her channel out.
Oh, and you will notice I have a new ride.
I'm staying mobile here in Los Angeles, with the good people over at Hubber.
For those of you that aren't familiar, Hubber is a rental service.
And what makes this company different is people like you and I--if we're LA locals, we'll leave our car at the airport while we're away on vacation,
and someone else who needs a car will have the option of renting your car out.
IMANI: Earlier we were riding in Maya's drop top Gucci Fiat.
And it's awesome.
ANDREA: Look at this thing! Look at how legit it is!
MAYA: Comment below if you have your driver's license. And if so, do you have a car? And if you do have a car, what kind of car do you guys have?
So I was pimping in the Fiat.
Selfie time!
And then some time after that, I wanted to stay trim and do some hiking at the Runyon Canyon here in Hollywood.
Work! With my girl Liinda.
We are going to be doing the Runyon Canyon, where the onions run free!
Free running onions when I hear Runyon!
LIINDA: Rolling down the canyon--yellow onions, sweet onions, red onions!
MAYA: Spanish onions!
Onions of all kinds!
And we had loads and loads of fun, and met loads and loads of fun people.
Check these guys out!
MARIO: I'm Mario. MAYA: Maya
So that's one option to stay fit, and another option is to take a dance class.
Debbie Reynolds is one example of an awesome dance studio.
And my homegirl Liinda is a dancer. And both herself and Deuce invited me to take a class. Of course I just ended up filming.
But this is a great way to stay in shape and have fun.
There's Gucci!
JAMIE: Gucci? That's a Gucci Fiat!
MAYA: Where'd you get them almonds from?!
JAMIE: I got it from the Gucci store, at the Gucci outlet
MAYA: Why does it say Gucci? Because it's Gucci, b***h!
And as some of you saw in my previous vlog, this is my college friend Jamie.
He's an awesome actor and he's also here in town for pilot season.
And for those of you that don't know, pilot season is the time here in Los Angeles between January and April,
where they start casting actors for new shows that are coming out.
So he was super busy with auditions--and me being, you know, savvy with filming and all, helped him put some auditions on tape.
And then these motherf*****s want to tow my a**!
No they did not!
You put her down! You put her down! You put Miss Gucci down, she ain't do nothing wrong!
Look at this! I caught them! I caught them thieving Gucci!
What is this?!
City of Los Angeles parking violation my a**--ahh!
And I have an event I'm supposed to go to, oh my goodness!
So I got my car just in time for this evening's event.
I have made some new friends, including the awesome Jeannie Mai!
I can't believe a year ago I met her at New York Fashion Week, and now I'm here in Los Angeles, helping her for the QVC red carpet.
And basically what I did was hack her Instagram account, and just take over and post photos for Jeannie.
Yes, that is Nick Cannon hooking Jeannie up with some style tips.
And because I was working I didn't have that much footage. So here are just some snippets of instagram photos that I took.
But thank you so much, Jeannie and QVC for the opportunity!
Worst behavior!
What's up, beautiful people? It is your homegirl, Shameless, all up in your building.
No--all up in your car!
Car courtesy of Hubber--this is the new ride! Well, it's an old, new ride.
And then I got this fancy Honda.
Now this is a real person's car.
I'm headed to the YouTube space.
[Singing] I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty. I've got whosits and whatsits galore!
You want thinga-ma-bobs, s**t, I got twenty!
But who cares? No big deal. I want more!
Let's get it--okay, this guy's inviting me, he keeps looking in his rear-view mirror, because he's fine as hell, boo!
You're fine, boo! Let's get his license plate--He's a cooper, and he's cute!
Giving me looks, and I'ma give him looks right back. Check him out.
Okay, guys! I'm at the YouTube space. I thought I've never been here but I have, once.
Okay, so happy hour at the YouTube space.
This is a time for YouTubers to, you know, mingle and stuff.
And of course, my homegirl Latoya Forever was there.
And we got a tour of all the awesome facilities that are available to YouTubers.
So if you have over 10,000 subscribers, definitely check out this space and the programs available to you.
Read the description box, guys.
And then some time after that I came back to the YouTube space to film a collab video with CourtneyPants--thank you Courtney--
and the lovelies over at SoulPancake, and all we did was play with arts and crafts!
Create art with anything in arms reach.
COURTNEY: Cotton candy wonder!
MAYA: There's CourtneyPants. This was my lovely creation.
And then after that I headed over to Dale's house. And Dale works at Maker Studios.
But he also has a channel called Dishing on Movies, where they make recipes inspired by movies.
And since Divergent is coming out and I read the book, I thought 'let's face our food fears,' and mine was oysters.
I can't stand slimy things! So stay tuned to see me eating an oyster on their channel.
And I'm just going to leave it at that.
And finally, my family! This is my auntie.
And she lives here in California. And now to head back to my family in New York City.
So that's it for now, if you guys liked this video, make sure you like.
