Brilliant casting! RottenTomatoes.com only…

Sweet Prom O' Mine: '80s Prom Party at V Lounge
More prom party shots by promparty Drink Eat Play’s ’80s Prom last year was so much fun. Just when I thought I was over prom-themed parties, this one showed me that I was in fact not. Had a blast dancing to the very talented U2 cover band as well as to all my ’80s fave…
Royal/T Cafe: More Than the Kawaii Maids
When I first heard about Royal/T Cafe in Culver City I was instantly creeped out. The focal point of all the publications that covered this cosplay teahouse was the servers dressed up in maid costumes. Was this a place for guys to have their French maid fantasies realized (minus the sex)? Ehh, I’ll pass. But…
3rd Annual Domino Bazaar at HD Buttercup
When I first heard about the home and design shopping event, the 3rd Annual Domino Bazaar, taking place at HD Buttercup in Culver City this coming weekend, I pooh-poohed the $20 admission fee. There isn’t even going to be any cocktails like there usually is at some of those cool fashion sample sales! But then…
Laurel Tavern: A Gastropub for the Dark Side

L.A. Live: Times Square West?
Me and a bunch of bloggers were invited to the Ritz-Carlton Residences sales room downtown earlier this week to check out the new, impending L.A. Live, the huge downtown entertainment project which was kicked off by the debut of the Nokia Theatre last year. We (i.e. LAist, Blog Downtown, Experience LA, 5th and Spring and…
Reminder: Register for the 2008 AIDS Walk
Is this economy getting you down? Feel a bit better by doing something great for others, like participating in the 2008 AIDS Walk. Not only will you be raising money to benefit AIDS Project Los Angeles but you’ll get a healthy 6.2-mile stroll around West Hollywood. It’s even more fun when you do it with…
L.A. Chocolate Salon: Gimme More Chocolate
I’ve never really been disappointed in chocolate before. Well, except Hershey’s Special Dark. But I wasn’t all that happy about the 2nd Annual Los Angeles Luxury Chocolate Salon yesterday in Pasadena. The thing is, I had a press pass so didn’t have to pay the $17.50 admission but I felt really bad for those who…
