Bugatti, Bugatti, Bugatti. Bugatti kills wallets. One of my favorite pastimes is shopping for my next luxury car at the L.A. auto show…well, at least in my dreams. This year, I’m in luck as the world’s most expensive car, the Bugatti Veyron, a $1.2 million 1,001-horsepower super sports car that can reach a top speed…

Soundtrack for L.A. Living: Brokenhearted on a Bar Stool
What: “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” by Frank Sinatra Who: Lonely broken-hearted folks. Think Frank getting over Ava. When: Right before last call or driving around a sleeping city (sober!) at 3 a.m. Where: Best if you’re sitting on a bar stool at your local dive bar (I like the Lost &…
Storm Watch 2006! How to Spend a Rainy Day in L.A.
Hate to go out when the sky is falling? I was reading blogging.la and came across this post asking for suggestions on what to do on a rainy day with out-of-town guests since a lot of activities with visitors usually involve the great outdoors. Hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains? Out. Window shopping in the…
Shop the Farmer's Market Like a Big Time Chef
He looks like a nice guy. I just randomly came across this but thought “Neat-o!” and had to share it. Apparently you can go produce shopping with executive chef Mark Gold of downtown’s Cafe Pinot at the Santa Monica Farmers Market every Wednesday while he selects ingredients for the restaurant. Just watch and learn which…
Burke Williams: A Not-So-Great Escape
Meh to a BW massage. I thought it would be a cool idea to start off the new year with a brand-new me, meaning that I’d get a massage and a dip in a mud bath at Burke Williams to remove the effects of 2005 from my knotted-up shoulders. BW was my introduction into the…
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…
Predict Your Future in a Minute: MASH!
With another year ending and a new one around the corner, I’m filled with trepidation about my future. Fortunately, there’s MASH to show me how everything is going to turn out for me. Remember, Mansion Apartment Shack House? Where you come up with three options of whom you’re going to marry, what kind of car…
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…
Soundtrack for L.A. Living: Watching the Ball Drop on New Year's Eve
What: “The Sunshine Underground” by The Chemical Brothers Who: Stay-at-home NYE revellers. When: At 11:56 pm, a little before the countdown begins. Where: Wherever there’s a broadcast of that big Waterford crystal ball dropping in Times Square. Why: Hit “Play” at about 11:56:07 pm and you have a great soundtrack to the ball dropping. Trippy….
