Mine! Mine! Mine! I was first turned onto West Elm by my metrosexual boyfriend at the time. For his birthday, I got his friends to chip in on “a coffee table he had his heart set on.” His friends have been razzing him about that ever since. Sorry, dude. But I’ve been getting West Elm…

Film Review: Walk the Line
Walk actors in the roles of rock ‘n’ roll pioneers Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and Jerry Lee Lewis and Waylon Jennings join Joaquin Phoenix (far left, as Cash) at Sun Studio. Truth be told, I don’t know much about Johnny Cash and I actually wanted to see Walk the Line more for the “Oscar-worthy” performances…
Hangar 1018: Max Blacklight Art Show
Event: Saturday, November 19th from 6:30pm-2am Not really the type of artwork that’s there…but to give you an idea. I saw this on Upcoming.org but since it didn’t have that much info, I just glanced over it. Blogging.la fortunately has more details and it sounds like a cool, artsy-fartsy time. Who doesn’t love blacklights? Your…
An Afternoon With Hats On: Tea Time at Casa Del Mar
“It’ll be an afternoon with hats on!” I forget where my sister and I got the expression but it was either from some old black-and-white movie or an episode of I Love Lucy. In any case, to us, it meant that we were going to have a fancy afternoon: Maybe get our nails or hair…
Venice Grind, Welcome to My Hood!
I was driving eastward down Venice Boulevard a couple of weeks ago when I saw the most awesome neon sign ever, and it wasn’t even lit up! It was simply “COFFEE” in big block letters encased in a downward arrow. I tried to figure out what it was pointing at but there was only a…
Livin' LRG: LRG/Luxirie Release Party at Montmartre Lounge
Just stumbled on this event and I think I may have to actually check this one out: fashion and djs in a too-cool-for-school Hollywood lounge? I’m in! LRG will be presenting its first full women’s line, Luxirie, via a very stylish party featuring performances by DJ Rashida and Digable Planets’ MC Ladybug Mecca at the…
Get Off the 405 and Go to the Getty: New Monthly Art/Music Series
Sick of spending a majority of your Friday night getting to where you’re going? How about stopping off at the Getty instead? If you enjoyed the Getty’s Summer Sessions, you’ll love its new monthly series, Fridays Off the 405, which suggests you trade your Friday evening on the 405 for one filled with free live…
Revitalized Vine: No More Fondue for You!
What’s up with the sad punk rock girl holding her big floppy bag on the dance floor? And is that Nikki Sixx I see? I did a double-take when I came across an article in Calendarlive.com about Vine. A friend of mine had worked there last year and said that they were closing it down…
Midnight at the Oasis: Party Central
Happy birthday indeed! Bee was in a pickle. She was planning to throw a huge party for her 30th birthday at the Bungalow Club (since Tara Reid already booked Mood for her 30th ;)). We had talked to the assistant manager a week before the big day and were assured that for $800 we could…
"Senior Cut Day": Let's Play Hooky and Go to Disneyland!
Cue soaring music and choir. I don’t know if you heard, but Disneyland is 50 years old! Old favorites such as the Haunted Mansion and the signature Sleeping Beauty’s Castle have been dressed up in new finery. The new Space Mountain features “new technology, an energetic soundtrack and a sound system complete with 42 speakers…
