The drive up Highway 1, from San Luis Obispo to Carmel, is the reason the automobile was invented (not true by any stretch of the imagination, but sounds nicer than “is a pretty drive”). Oh, you can take the 101, but you better take some NoDoz while you’re at it and splash yourself with some cold water every few miles (you know, from the dashboard … Continue reading It’s Time for Carmel-by-the-Sea at The Cypress Inn

Zemeckis, an award-winning documentarian and actress (and wife of filmmaker Robert Zemeckis), recently celebrated the launch of her new biography, “Goddess … Continue reading Zemeckis Gives Peek at Striptease Lili St. Cyr

And with the aid of today’s media technology connecting every corner of the world simultaneously, never in history have these trends sprung into existence and died out as rapidly as right now, like stars shooting across the night sky on a journey into oblivion. Meanwhile, genuinely artistic style remains steadfast all the while, the North Star by which to … Continue reading Palm Springs is Back (and Always) in Fashion

The worst kept secret in the dining world is that LA’s restaurant scene just keeps getting better and better to the highest levels found anywhere in this country (although some would argue that it has always been this great but it has taken the rest of the country this long to catch up to the notion). It’s almost cliche to mention what national publications such as … Continue reading Terrine’s French Cuisine Style Just Raised LA’s Lunch Game
#OnlyinLA is a saying that comes to mind quite often. Now just 2 months old Culver City offers the first Cold & Thirsty, a cryosauana plus cold-pressed juice bar. Last week we ventured in to check out the LaLaScoop on this Wellness hotspot, or should we say cold spot meeting the two lovely Founders Brooke and Katie who blended their passions for nutritional and holistic health. … Continue reading #soLA – Cold and Thirsty, the first cryotherapy and juice wellness spot
Back at it, working out like a champ. SWEAT-ing has been our number one way to start the day, to even wake up and feel good. Recently with more time on my hands, I finally feel exceptional, especially since I can’t remember the last year I was able to work out 4-5 times a week. Thanks to ClassPass we are never bored with our LA … Continue reading Heat up your LA fitness routine with our ClassPass Favorites

Cleopatra adorns the walls, her clearly ecstatic nude body whetting patron’s appetites at the well-stocked bar. The images, an art collection remaining from the previous incarnation of the establishment, harken back not only to an ancient past but to a more recent era when in the wake of Howard Carter’s discovery of King Tut’s tomb, Art Deco incarnated the world’s love affair of Egyptology. And … Continue reading Elmaleh Stars at Hollywood’s Cleo at the Redbury
