Music Connection: Blip.fm Brings Social Interaction Back to Music Discovery

Blip Public Stream One boring day in late February, I stared listlessly at my Twitter feed looking for nothing in particular when a tweet popped up from one of my friends touting a new social networking site. Did I dare sign up for one more inevitable time suck? As it stood, I was already fighting a ... More >>

Farewell to Goa, and Other Club Closures

Adios, amigos

OUTFIT OF THE WEEK

As you can probably imagine, we see a lot of "hot" and "not" fashion out there while patrolling LA's clubs and hubs every week, but sometimes it's all about context... The funky lame ensemble and multi- colored hair here wouldn't have caught our eye at Cinespace Tuesday or Club Moscow or any night a ... More >>

Chills, Hills and (Cheap) Thrills

Catching the fashion bug takes on new meaning during flu season, or so we've discovered. The collections and presentations at Mercedes Benz fashion Week at Smashbox Studios the past few days have been fairly interesting, but nobody should have to cram into stuffy rooms filled with bitchy fashion fi ...

Shit List

Grammy week... Fashion week (in NYC)...the writers strike... Britney... There so much to do and watch and bitch, uh write, about.... Our new year's resolution was to blog more and go to the gym more, but February's already half way through and we haven't jumped on the treadmill yet. Sigh... We may ... More >>

The Grammy parties and the pod people

The Vest of the Grammys

Grammy fashion, supposedly, is "anything goes" – an opportunity to let your freak flag fly, get a little rock 'n' roll, show some skin, etc. But the looks on display last night - with the exceptions of a wonderfully courageous Imogen Heap who dressed, I think, as a tree? and OK Go, who perso ...

The Problem With Oscar

First of all, the Academy Awards started at 3, and that means drinking started at 3 and so last night was a very long night. I don't have a television, and I wasn't invited to the Oscars, an oversight on somebody's part I'm sure. But that didn't stop me from inviting all my friends to Stuart's house ... More >>

The Chic and the "Eek!"

Everybody's got an opinion when it comes to Oscar fashion, and since I'm in the Style Council, I can pretend mine matters. Coolio! I watched it all on the tube last night (no red carpet camping and definitely no traffic-jammed, hoity toity after-parties for me, at least not this year) with the rest ... More >>

Happy Valentine's Day

This will be the second Valentines Day in a row I have no official object of affection. But this year, February 14th singledom feels perfectly OK,  compared with last year's Valentine's Day trauma. Back then I was stuck in the middle of a horrible unrequited love affair, my first of that kind. ... More >>
