WTF did I do last night? It was all a blur but I think, I THINK, I went to the private launch party for Culver City’s newest, er only, theme bar, the Saints & Sinners’ Lounge. Created by the same quirky characters behind Silverlake’s Bigfoot Lodge and Highland Park’s Little Cave, S&S plays on the…

Holly Trolley: Hollywood Barhopping Hassle-Free
How cool is this? Now you don’t have to worry about having to find shoes that are both attractive AND comfortable when you go bar hopping in Hollywood. You can just park in any parking structure (I recommend the Arclight) and catch a Holly Trolley to any of your fave Hollywood hot spots. Very nice…
Bingo at Hamburger Mary's: Legs to Heaven, B-11!
You haven’t played Bingo until you’ve played it at West Hollywood’s Hamburger Mary’s. Every Wednesday night1, the fabulous Belle Aire2 hosts the craziest, funnest game of Bingo I’ve ever experienced, and that includes the game I played at WeHo’s Mickey’s with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence one drunken Sunday afternoon. The burger joint is packed…
Buena Vista Cigar Club: Smokers' Paradise
So last night was the big birthday party at the cigar bar and, boy, do I feel like shit this morning. I wish I could run some warm soapy water over my lungs and brush off that fine layer of soot coating them. Ack! But my friend was happy. She got to do what she…
Xenii: Where Paris & Leo Party and You, Sir, Certainly Cannot
OK, one of my NYE party girls mentioned Xenii (“Ex-ee-nee”) in passing as a countdown option, and having never heard of it before, it just went over my head like a mathematical formula. It wasn’t until I checked out Daily Candy’s New Year’s Eve guide that it sunk in. “A private members-only society, not open…
Wilshire Restaurant: Where Scenesters and Seniors Meet for Drinks?
A friend was throwing an impromptu gettogether at Wilshire Restaurant. I had never been and quickly researched it, cuz, you know, that’s my thing. Hmm, organic food. That doesn’t sound like the usual sort of place where her and her friends like to hang. They like Hollywood “hot spots” i.e. the Cabana Club, LAX and…
What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?
It’s only three days until NYE and plans are STILL not finalized. I’ve got the dinner plans down but where to countdown? My friends can’t make up their minds about where they want to go. And looking at all the “hottest” NYE events in L.A. I’m feeling overwhelmed myself and am this close to signing…
Nobody Smokes in L.A.: Last of the Cigar Bars
“Cigars are the perfect complement to an elegant lifestyle” – George Sand I don’t smoke and even if I did, I wouldn’t smoke cigars–so ’90s, so Ah-nold–but my friend, whose birthday is coming up, loves those big, fat smelly stogies and wants to celebrate old-gentlemen style. So she asked me to find an appropriate venue…
Hot Ticket for New Year's: Giant Village NYE 06
It’s almost New Year’s Eve and I still don’t know how I want to spend the countdown. Do I wanna do it at a low-key celebration at someone’s house? “…3, 2, 1. Happy New Year. Yay.” Or go the total opposite route and do it up big with 20,000 other Angelenos in Downtown L.A.? “Happy…
Westwood Brewing Company: Beer, What Beer?
I haven’t gone to Westwood in ages so I jumped at the chance to drop by the Westwood Brewing Company when invited. All right, it was more like, “Really? There? OK.” My friends knew one of the bartenders so we were set for drinks, meaning we drank hard liquor and not any of the beers….
