Jenna Jameson New Face to Fashion Week

Linda Immediato
One thing keeps puzzling me...Why was Porn Star Queen Jenna Jameson at so many LA Fashion Week shows? She got a lot of front row action this fashion week, I saw her at a threesome of events including Jared Gold and Corey Lynn Calter, and 2 B Free—and totally copping......

Sneak Peak: Project Comeback

Linda Immediato
{mosimage} “What happened to Jeffrey Sebelia?” asked New York magazine last month in a story that portrayed the designer’s life as a hard-luck tale, another 15-minute flash in the reality-TV pan, with Sebelia failing to sign any significant clothing deals after his high-drama Project Runway win in October, losing touch......

L.A. Fashion Week Smackdown

Linda Immediato
{mosimage} It was billed as “the wildest front row in all of Fashion Week.” You sometimes get a tranny or two in the audience at Smashbox Studios, site of L.A.’s official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, but never in the numbers or caliber of the sparkling array of gorgeous cross-dressers in falsies......

Electric Avenues

Linda Immediato
You’re downtown. It’s about 6 o’clock in the evening, smack-dab in the middle of the happiest hour, and you find yourself walking on Main Street. You turn down a dark alley, slipping between two brick warehouses. You see a door, nothing special, just a black door. You open it and......

Erin Go Binge!

Linda Immediato
{mosimage} When I first went to Ireland, I thought everyone was on drugs — over and over, I’d hear the phrase “I had great crack last night.” I expected the whiskey and Guinness, but I wasn’t expecting the crack. Turns out, it was “craic” they were after, which is Gaelic......

Strung Out

Shimmering stones in all the colors of the rainbow — garnet, whiskey topaz, lush green emerald and shades of blue from cool azure to deepest sapphire — line the walls at Wahine Beads. Among the semiprecious gems are aquatic jewels — coral and pearls and seashells, an influence from co-owner......

Star Me Kitten: Can LA Handle Another Fashion Week?

Linda Immediato
This just in: The Standard Downtown will be hosting Kitten Fashion Week, created by designer and publisher Mike Vensel to allow designers who don't have a budget to get to show their designs. I thought that's what Gen Art was for? Kitten Fashion Week, which gets its name from the......

Bald and Er, Bald

Linda Immediato
Are we supposed to comment on this? I'm speechless. Kudos to The Post for avoiding the now cliched, "Britney Shears." And calling her "a buzz kill" was a nice touch. I miss those NYC rags. In J school it was always fun to come up with a Post-esque headline. Feel......

Way Up in the Sky

Linda Immediato
My palms are sweating so much I have to keep wiping them on my jeans. Which is just as well because I have to use my feet to steer. It’s my first time piloting an airplane, a brand-new Cessna Skyhawk, and I’m doing a lousy job, sending the craft zigzagging......
