Cupcake Challenge: Frosting Frosting Everywhere
UPDATE: For the list of winners, see below. Yesterday’s cupcake challenge event at the Montmartre Lounge in Hollywood appeared to be a huge success cuz 1) it was sold out and 2) everyone in attendance (mostly women) seemed to really enjoy themselves as they sipped their glasses of wine and chowed down on their plates…
Judge a Cupcake Challenge With Me
Flickr Shot by dotsara New year, new cupcake challenge. Last year my cupcake challenge conducted in my small apartment crowned the best red velvet, the best chocolate and the best wild card winners.

Creperie by Jack n' Jill's: Love in My Tummy
This weekend, to my horror, I realized I ran out of great breakfast joints to go to on the Westside. Usually I just like to roll out of bed, go a short distance and enjoy some yummy dark coffee and an even yummier breakfast entree. And I was kinda sick of my old faves Literati…
Today's Stream of Consciousness
Flickr Shot by dotsara I need to find a new drinking hole since I’ve been ousted from my old one. Any suggestions? I’m looking for a place that makes some damn good cocktails. And don’t say the Griffin. As much as I love that’s place, it’s just too darn far from home base. And don’t…

If you’re not going to the Long Beach Grand Prix (fun!) or the Grilled Cheese Invitational (yum!) this weekend, maybe a pole dancing demo, mixology class or a comedy show where your iPod is the joke will tickle your fancy.
