Gendy Alimurung
For photographs of the LACMA Machine Project, view the slideshow here.    Something weird happened at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art this weekend. A girl walked 6.4 miles from LACMA to Machine Project gallery in Echo Park, connecting the two sites with a very long piece of string......

Cat Cafe: Los Angeles Needs One, STAT

Gendy Alimurung
Here is a business idea for those casting about for things to do in the economic downturn: start a cat cafe. Japan has one. No, correction, they have seven. Seven places where visitors to the cafe pay $8-$12 an hour to sit with cats and drink tea with cats and......

Retainer Necklace vs. Gum Necklace

Gendy Alimurung
Kinda sick, yet kinda cool. That could be said for a lot of creepy fashion these days. Especially for this 14K gold-plated Retainer Necklace by 24-year-old wunderkind designer Kiel Mead. He cast the piece from his brother's retainer. Hangs from a 30" chain. Buy it for $300 at Fred Flare...or......

Japanese Schoolgirls at the Museum

Gendy Alimurung
They were at the Getty Museum this past week. Masses of them. I was there with my dad and all of a sudden we were surrounded by a crowd of uniformed students. I went to Catholic school as a kid. It brought back, uh, fond memories of mean nuns, pleated......

Puppy for Obama? The Ultimate Presidential Accessory

Gendy Alimurung
There's been much to-do about Obama's future dog. Screw the economic crisis. This dog's got to be hypo-allergenic, because Malia is allergic. It's got to be from a shelter, preferably. The American Kennel Club has weighed in, suggesting poodles and Portugese water dogs. The Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan has advice......

Buy the Gossip Girl Closet: Only $38,560!

Gendy Alimurung
If you've been watching Gossip Girl, maybe you too have fallen in lust with their outfits. I've always had a soft spot for the preppy, WASP-y, schoolgirl look. Bluefly.com has been doing a promotional "buy the Gossip Girl closet" thing (though have been ever careful to include a "No celebrity......
