Awww, the last weekend of the summer. Whether you spend it running the Nike + Human Race 10K or just hitting as many end-of-summer pool parties and barbecues as possible, I hope you have a good one. As for me, this might finally be the weekend I get that Vespa. I know! Friday, August 29…

Viva Las Vegas at ArcLight Sherman Oaks: Swingers Screening and Vegas Cocktails
One of my favorite movies about L.A. has gotta be Swingers. I love watching it and revisiting the hot spots of the ’90s — The Dresden and The Derby. And remember when Vince Vaughn was considered cute and not so bloated? Anyway, wrapping up the special Viva Las Vegas Party ArcLight series for its members…
Why I Hate Some Radiohead Fans
RadioHEAD captured via cell phone camera (only shot I took during the concert!) OK, in truth this doesn’t have to mean specifically Radiohead fans. I could also apply it to Hollywood Bowl concert goers and maybe even concert goers in general. But I got to see one of my ultimate favorite bands play at the…

FREE Ice Cream: Silky Smooth Ultra Creamery
I’ve never heard of Silky Smooth Ultra Creamery before (maybe cuz its only location is deep in the bowels of the Beverly Center Mall and not even in the food court) but apparently it was voted #1 ice cream/gelato in L.A. on MyFoxLA and it’s a “microcreamery,” meaning that it handcrafts this unique fusion of…

With mini spa treatments galore, sweets to your heart’s content and a swank downtown Los Angeles loft setting, who wouldn’t enjoy being a girl at the Pamper Yourself Fabulous event last week? I was lucky enough to be one of the 100+ attendees at this sold-out spa day, a girls’ day out unlike any other….
Film Review: Tropic Thunder
OMG I actually liked a Ben Stiller movie. I haven’t liked anything he’s been in since There’s Something About Mary. I hated Zoolander, Meet the Fockers, Dodgeball…if he was in it, I hated it. But after I found myself giggling at the trailers and Rottentomatoes.com gave Tropic Thunder a healthy 84% I decided to give…

Upper Manhattan Lounge: Awesome Burlesque Show, Meh Cocktails
When I first heard about Upper Manhattan Lounge in Manhattan Beach, I had to check it out. Apparently, they have a long martini list. Sure it’s not a list with anything really intriguing on it (just one Manhattan cocktail) but it IS something unusual for MB. The lounge opened up this past July but I…
