Michelle Lyn Bechler Studio owner, editorial stylist, jewelry designer

What's your most embarrassing SF moment? Getting the second boot on my car in one year had to take the cake!

Where would you have your last meal on earth (and what would you eat)? Burma Superstar. Samosa soup, Rainbow Salad, pumpkin curry with shrimp, spicy string beans with pork belly, and coconut sticky rice, washed down with a carafe of white wine. Yum!

Where do you get your city gossip? From my clients in the salon. They seem to talk about all the local juice.

Who's your favorite quintessential local character? Phil from Philz Coffee. He is such a nice guy and I love his coffee. I only serve Philz Coffee to my clients!

Why do you love your neighborhood? Never a dull moment in the TL. Great cheap food, too. I love that I am in the middle of it all. 

What's your secret spot in town? La Biang Thai Massage on Polk. Thirty bucks for 30 minutes of rejuvination.

What local merchant have you been meaning to check out? Wonderland. I want to feature my handmade jewelry there.
