Shoot It or Swirl It? Tequila Tastings at L'Scorpion
I blame Sideways. Because of that movie, wine tastings are EVERYwhere. In liquor stores, rock ‘n roll nightclubs, house parties, dive bars, museums. So I was thrilled to hear that someone actually took this ubiquitous ritual and did it up with a twist: a tequila tasting. Hot Hollywood tequila bar, L’Scorpion, challenges patrons to go against…
New Bar Buzz: Hyde Lounge
Add another one to the velvet rope set on Sunset Boulevard. Hyde Lounge, a new loungy bar, opened up on Sunset and Crescent Heights just last Thursday but forget about keeping your entourage in tow. It sounds too tiny to squeeze in your bodyguard, publicist, date du noir, bff, including your usual hangers-on. L.A. party…
Snorg Tees: They're All Gonna Laugh at You!
OK, you’re probably over the whole message on a T-shirt thing. I was, too, until I saw this one. Come on! Dat’s funny! It’s so L.A. Along the same lines as, “Don’t you know who I am?” Hmm, they SHOULD make a shirt about that. Anyway, Snorg Tees has all these great T-shirts with different…
Apple and the Peppers: Red Hot Chili Peppers Listening Party
Apple stores in the Grove and Third Street Promenade will be hosting listening parties for the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ new album Stadium Arcadium before it goes on sale May 9th. Personally I haven’t been all that crazy about the Peppers since Mother’s Milk (one of my favorite albums ever), and their newly released single…
Fancy a Shag? RSVP Now
I usually steer clear of clubs like Mood, Cabana Club and LAX since unlike Paris, Nicole and Ashton, I am admittedly not too cool for school. But hearing about the grand opening of Shag, a night presented by L.A. nightlife shakers Avant Garde and LA.com, I just have to check it out. That and LA.com keeps…
Plastered in Pink: A Girl Drink Drunk's Fave Spots
Before I found Jameson and Coke, I was big into specialty cocktails. I’d sidle up to every new bar I walked into and ask for their list of house cocktails. If they had a menu, joy! If not, bo-ring! A bar’s cocktail list is a sign of the talent and the imagination of the house…
My 15 Seconds in Today's L.A. Times
Photo by Lawrence K. Ho/LA TIMES Woo hoo! Caroline on Crack got a very brief mention in today’s Los Angeles Times because of my readers’ comments on a post I did about that after-hours club, Xenii. Of course it was all because of the readers but it’s a front page story, baby! (Thanks, readers!) Gatsbies and the…
Cristophe's Beauty Mix: Singles Mingle & Makeover
Flickr Shot by rhi~ I’ve read about all these new ways to get singles together: sanctioned wine tastings, happy hours, movie nights, evenings at the opera…but never while getting a makeover. Cristophe Salon along with Redlight Promotions is kicking off a monthly night of beauty and networking where “young trendsetters, club-goers, and young professional entertainment…
REMINDER: Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day
Flickr shot by bunchofpants Tomorrow Ben & Jerry’s is doing its annual free cone giveaway. Woo hoo! B&J say that it’s their way of thanking their customers for supporting them these 28 years, but who wouldn’t want to? Simpler and cheaper than Coldstone Creamery, Ben & Jerry’s innovated ice cream flavors, bringing us Cherry Garcia,…
