Every year I go out to WeHo to celebrate Pride with my brother, his boyfriend and all their friends. But these boys really don’t do anything different from what they usually do every weekend, which is to say drink at the Abbey, maybe hit Trunks and then end the night at Mickey’s. This time, however,…

Ansel: “Come out to Chapter 8 tonight. It’s Agoura Hills’ hot spot. LA.com’s having a party there for our Fooditude newsletter. There’s going to be wine tastings with eight vendors and passed appetizers. It’s going to be fun.” Me: “Where the hell is Agoura Hills?” Ansel started giving freeway directions to get there and as…
Saints & Sinners Prom: A Secret Dream Realized
The other night at Saints & Sinners’ 1980s prom I had a secret dream realized and it was a secret even to me. I was crowned S&S High’s Class of 1986 prom queen. I, of course, would like to thank all of you who voted for me (the joke here being that king and queen…

Stood Up by Hurry Date at Tangerine
Ever had a blind date where you pick a place and time, worry about what you’re going to wear and even almost chicken out, and then you get stood up anyway? Last month I wrote about Hurry Date’s Wine Tasting at Tangerine in WeHo. Dre and I got our tickets weeks ago. Unlike the dating…
Bodega Winebar: Keeping Wine Simple
No more Sugar, baby. Not that you were missing it all that much. The $2 dance club on Broadway and Lincoln has been replaced by a very sophisticated venue, Bodega Winebar. Opened just this month and sister to the established location in Pasadena, it’s already quite the hot spot for well-groomed singles. But here, you…
Everybody Wang Chung: Saints & Sinners' Prom
Flickr Shot by GardenGal I never went to my prom. It just seemed lame. Instead, I think I stayed home and practiced dance moves in front of my mirror. Have I always regretted that I skipped out on what should be a landmark occasion in every teen girl’s life? Nope, especially since I knew that…
All About the Girls: LA.com's Party at The Day After
Last night at The Day After in Hollywood, LA.com/Hardball Productions threw a benefit and silent auction/Web site launch party. Yeah, it had so many things going on, my girlfriends and I didn’t know what to expect or even how we were supposed to dress for this thing. Get dolled up for the silent auction benefitting…
To Be a Kid Again: Arena Interactive Lounge
This year is a landmark birthday for me, so instead of celebrating turning older I figure why not celebrate my misspent youth? The Arena Interactive Lounge in West L.A, a gaming lounge complete with TVs and video game consoles galore, sounded like the perfect place to be a kid again. They have every gaming console…
