Guys are lucky. They have big ol’ movie theaters where they can watch porn, a gazillion porno mags to choose from at the newsstand and a flourishing porno movie industry dedicated to keeping them happy. Women on the other hand aren’t as lucky as it’s not as socially acceptable for us to be so open…

Caroline Does Ramona…California, That Is
I got invited to spend a weekend at my friend Andrea’s timeshare in “San Diego” so I gladly accepted the invitation with visions of San Diego nightlife dancing in my head. It wasn’t until we drove through Escondido, made our way up winding roads etched in rocky hills and passed a “San Diego 45” sign…
Throwing a Last-Minute Dinner Party
I’m going to tell you something that as Angelenos you probably already know: Trader Joe’s is a great place to go if you’re throwing a last-minute dinner party, either for a date you want to impress or just some friends you want over to keep you company on a rainy night. They’ve got everything from…
Plummer's Furniture for Baptism By Boudoir
I’ve been wanting a new bed for awhile now, for the simple reason that even though I’m way into my adulthood I feel like I still sleep in a dorm room. My current bed is just the frame, box spring and mattress. Yes, at least it’s raised off the floor and not on cinderblocks. But…
Neighborhoodies: Show 'Em Your Motto
This ain’t your run-of-the-mill sweat shop. For awhile now, I’ve been wanting to customize a T-shirt for myself with “Caroline on Crack” but couldn’t think of a catchy tagline to go with it. Some ideas? “Have you had your crack today?” or “Be a crackhead.” But they just don’t seem right. In any case, I finally…
Cocoa Bella: Gone to Chocolate Heaven
Just got back from a weekend of indulgence in San Francisco: drinking, eating, pampering, shopping…eating. Considered by most to be the foodie capital of California, it didn’t surprise me at all to find that the best chocolate store I’ve ever seen can only be found in San Francisco. I’m telling you, forget Godiva’s, See’s and…
Soundtrack for L.A. Living: Bemoaning a Rainy Day
What: “Lost Cause” by Beck Who: Stranded Angelenos staring at rainy days through their windows. When/Where: Today! or any ol’ rainy day when you’re stuck indoors. Why: This song is so sad and mellow. I can just imagine sitting on a couch watching the drops of rain run down the window pane. You want to…
St. Paddy's Day Cocktail Wish List
Since I’m not going on a pub crawl on this here alcoholiday and will in fact be on the road to SF, I thought I’d just list some of my favorite drinks to raise a virtual glass toasting all the drunk bastards out there on St. Patrick’s Day. Irish Car Bomb: So good when it…
Wink, Wink: The No Tell Room at the Farmer's Daughter Hotel
Flickr shot by brianwallace Truth be told, I have a thing for motels. In fact staying in motels is the highlight for me when taking road trips. Something about the “international breakfast” doughnuts in the morning, the crisp white bed sheets, and the temporariness of it all. So every time I pass by the Farmer’s…
Tokyo To Go: FAMIMA!! Opens in Santa Monica
I’ve seen this store in WeHo and always wondered what it was, not being able to tell just from looking at it. I assumed it was an IKEA-type furniture store just from the outside with its clean design and big well-lit rooms. But the other day when I was on 3rd Street Promenade trying to…
