Flickr Shot by dotsara Finally! I was able to make it to Crumbs Bake Shop after being intimidated by those crazy Beverly Hills drivers and traffic. But after work and after a lame happy hour at El Torito in BH, dotsara and I walked over to Sprinkles’ newest adversary. At 8pm on a weeknight the…

The Promenade's Cabo Cantina: Only for Happy Hour
I’m not a big fan of sports bars but I am a huge fan of happy hour. And Cabo Cantina has a pretty good 2-for-1 happy hour, but that Brentwood location is a zoo, good luck finding a seat or even your feet for the rest of the night. So I was somewhat relieved when…
Film Review: Into the Wild
I don’t cry very often during movies…OK, that’s a lie but I don’t seriously break down and bawl my eyes out where I’m hiccuping because I’m crying so hard. The last time that happened was after I saw The Joy Luck Club. And I found myself in that same blubbery mess last night after watching…
Kumo: Sushi With a Side of Spectacle
When I first heard about Kumo, ex-super agent Michael Ovitz’s new restaurant, I instantly shuttled it off my radar. It’s industry, it’s expensive, it’s so not for me. But then when Steve, my fave bartender who used to work at Ford’s Filling Station, popped up behind the Japanese restaurant’s bar I dragged myself over there….

Buttercup store in Culver City but the OktoberTaste: Magical Bubbles and Brews shindig for tomorrow night sounds like it’s going to be, well, magical. Not only will there be performing Magic Castle magicians but you’ve got a lot of different kinds of…
Vanilla Bake Shop: Gimme Some Sugar, Baby
Flickr Shots by dotsara (from her own visit to the shop) I finally caved and checked out the Vanilla Bake Shop while I was down in Santa Monica for the Wednesday Farmer’s Market. The store is small and cute, to be sure, and the counterpeople were so pleasant and eager to help that impulse buys…
Sexy Not Slutty Women's Halloween Costume Ideas
I thought it would be a good idea to get an early start on Halloween costume shopping while there are still a variety of things to choose from. So I started looking around online and couldn’t help but notice the plethora of costumes for women with good figures (read: with a rack and nice abs)….
Like, Oh My Gawd! It's an '80s Prom Party!
Forget all those other ’80s prom parties you’ve attended in the past, the ’80s Prom Party at Cooper Studios sounds like it’s going to be the most awesome one at which you’ll ever do the Roger Rabbit. A live ’80s cover band will inspire you to resurrect all the ’80s dance moves in your repertoire…
25th Annual American Wine & Food Festival
OMG, had so much fun last night. Would have been even better if I had a designated driver but as it was I just didn’t drink all that much. Le sigh! I so wanted to try the Patron tequila bar, the Belvedere vodka bar, the Moet & Chandon champagne bar and all the various wineries…
