Written By Kevin Ed, Chicago, IL Today I fell in love with the bands I grew up with all over again. As a kid, the only music I consumed was from my dad’s old record collection (which was quite superb and included The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stone, Dave Clark Five and the list on...

Magazines

Written By: Jori Bell, New York, NY From her personal blog Stacks of magazines on the bookshelf, waiting to be destroyed. For the past twelve years, I’ve fostered an ongoing love affair with magazines. Fueled by my interest in celebrities, fashion, and home design, I was a...

California Air

Written By: Bradley Fisher, Los Angeles, CA Today, I fell in love with California Air… I mean this in a few different ways and forgive my predisposition to promote a band that I truly believe in and have always loved.   But like any truly beautiful thing, one can always fall in love again,...

Going Commando

Posted By: Tyler Dornenburg, Los Angeles, CA It really is the simple things in life that make turn an average day into a great one. A good cup of coffee, driving with all the windows down, the view at the end of a hike….and most recently, in my experience, the act of not wearing any...

Being Broke

Posted By: Penn Scarlet, Los Angeles, CA “Spare some change?” , “Think you can help me out?”,  ‘Clink Clink Clink’ in a tin mug… “Please sir, may I have some more?” Today I fell in love with being utterly down and out, broke as a joke, begging...

Man’s Night

Posted By: Penn Scarlet, Los Angeles, CA Every so often, and more for some than others, a man feels the need to beat his chest wildly and break the familiar bonds of domestication, screaming like Tarzan while Jane is off somewhere gathering food to cook for him.  You gotta unbutton your pants...

Taylor Swift

Posted By: Penn Scarlet, Los Angeles, CA So I’m going to casually walk the proverbial “homosexual” line on this one, but today I literally fell in love with Taylor Swift, who I like to daintily refer to as Taytertot Swift (stolen from a friend of her’s on twitter). She...

Favors

Posted By: Lauren French, Los Angeles, CA Whether I’m asking for a film festival party grid or to score face time with a friend’s boss, I ask for favors everyday. And consequentially, I’m asked for favors everyday as well. Everyone in Hollywood can agree that the main vein of the...

A Quick Draw

Posted By: Penn Scarlet, Los Angeles, CA Have you ever looked down the barrel of a gun?  Seems like a strange question at first, but upon closer investigation I’d move to argue we all have.  The older I get, the more I realize that life, business, relationships… all tend to be a game...

Ink

Posted By: Erin Kaplan, Columbia, Missouri It’s just shy of 1 A.M., and I’m buying a pack of cigarettes at the gas station down the road from my house.  A stranger walks up alongside me, notices the bandage on my arm, and asks, “Did it hurt?” “No,” I reply, and pause.  “Yes, but not at first.  It starts to hurt about half an hour after you’re finished.” “Damn,” he smiles.  “I’ve been thinking about getting some ink for a while now.”  He lifts up his shirt, points to his left pec.  “I want to get something like an eagle here.” I tell him to...

La Ninja Turtles

Written By: Penn Scarlet, Los Angeles, CA LA:  Equivalent genetic mutation abilities to that of The Ooze. I moved out to LA two years ago after a short break from a one-year stint prior.  I say stint specifically because LA isn’t a home.  It’s a place where sluts like you and me...

Adult Libraries

Written By: Tyler Dornenburg, Hollywood, CA Ahhh, the library. The place where we read our first goosebumps book, and diligently checked off our summer reading lists. The place we learned how to find articles, encyclopedias, and professional journals in databases with ambiguous names that...

Pity Parties

Written By: Tyler Dornenburg, Hollywood, CA There’s something to be said for commiseration. There’s also something to be said for the shared burden of the entry level 20something. Bad friends, worse bosses, missed opportunities, and public embarrassment are just the tip of the iceberg for...

A Good Tan

Posted By: Tara Witt, Arlington Heights, IL I really love a good tan. I’m not talking a tacky-almost orange-I’m trying to look tan so I look skinny tan. I’m talking a well-rested-just got home from vacation type of tan. Right now, I have a well-rested-just got home from vaca type of tan...

Getting a Compliment

Posted By: Tara Witt, Arlington Heights, IL I’m going to New York for the first time this weekend. Beside the fact that I’m outstandingly excited, I was also posed with the awesomely fun task of putting together an adorable New York weekend wardrobe. I’ve got my long dresses, camis,...
