My friend Saucy Burnaz (his drinking name) has the same basic rituals every Sunday and this time he kindly enough invited me along to witness his fancy day of rest. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone enjoy L.A. quite in this neo-Rat Pack kinda way before. Saucy Sundays start with a dry steam…

Barney's at Barker: How Much Is That Manolo in the Window?
Remember when I said that I’m not a fan of sample sales? Well, I’m still not but every now and then when I drive past the Santa Monica Airport and I see a “Barney’s Warehouse Sale” sign advertising the bi-annual department store 50-75% sale I feel a small tug at my heart. “Should I go?”…

Beauty Mix 2: A Mingle and a Makeover
The one thing I hate about preparing for a night out on the town, in addition to having to find a thing to wear, is figuring out how to wear my hair or do my makeup. That always increases my prep time by an hour…or two and just makes me not even want to bother….

Jet Rag: For a Prom Dress Pronto
Being the chronic procrastinator that I am, I waited until the day of the Saints & Sinners prom to get my prom dress. But that’s just because I had a reliable store for such a specific fashion request in my back pocket. Jet Rag for all your costume needs. Here, you get two levels of…
Snorg Tees: They're All Gonna Laugh at You!
OK, you’re probably over the whole message on a T-shirt thing. I was, too, until I saw this one. Come on! Dat’s funny! It’s so L.A. Along the same lines as, “Don’t you know who I am?” Hmm, they SHOULD make a shirt about that. Anyway, Snorg Tees has all these great T-shirts with different…

Cristophe Salon along with Redlight Promotions is kicking off a monthly night of beauty and networking where “young trendsetters, club-goers, and young professional entertainment…
