After you find yourself in the company of great new friends, there are always stories that they reflect fondly upon that involve friends you haven’t met yet. For Jack’s group of friends whom I had come to call my own, the adventures weren’t just stories, they were legends. And they often involved a gorgeous, busty, and hilarious model named Lulu. Lulu was an Australian bombshell who rose to fame with her appearance on countless magazine covers. I had been regaled with wild stories from Jack as to her wild ways and their adventures together and I was thrilled when I heard that she was coming to LA to visit. I had returned from the Hamptons after almost three weeks away, which gave me time to clear my head about the Jack situation. I asked him to dinner when I returned and we laughed, ate, had a ball, and everything went…

I teamed up with popular YouTube Vlogger, Stevie NYC, to teach him how to sneak into a stranger’s bottle service table! When Stevie approached me with the idea of collaborating, he asked me if I could teach him a lesson for his new video series. I thought about it and realized I have no real skills. Can’t juggle, singing would be too embarrassing, I’m too white to dance… …then BOOM – it hit me! The one thing I’m decent at, is being something of an expert on sneaking into parties, events, award ceremonies, and yes, even random clubgoers’ tables who have ordered bottles. Am I proud of this? Um, duh. Free booze! In the video above I give Stevie my tutorial on how to go about executing this brilliant skill of mine, so take notes and try it out if you dare. Just don’t say you heard it from me!…

WHAT A WEEKEND. Chicago friends, Trevor and Jason, headed to the City of Angels this past weekend and brought with them all the sass and shenanigans we all expected. However, this time they brought their friend Christy with them, a spunky ball of energy that could more than hold all her with a group guys. In fact, she might have partied harder than all of us (?). On Thursday, after a long day, I met up with the Chicogonians and Jon, who were all partaking in a little happy hour. Before we all knew it, we were out on the town at a nightclub where everyone was preparing for the busy LA Pride Weekend. We somehow ended up at the Sofitel Hotel for a brief moment, but with just enough time to hijack the photo-booth that was on display (because I always love a good photobooth) and I’m pretty sure…

DJs come and go like the tide, especially in large metropolitan cities like NY & LA. And while only the ones with true staying-power last, Hamptons to Hollywood found an artist who’s not only amazingly talented who’s sure to be around for a long time, but also has the time of his life while he works, which makes his job that much better. Los Angeles local, Adir Tal, better known by his stage name, DiJiTal, has been spinning since he was eleven years old, getting his start working bar mitzvahs and weddings. He grew up around the entertainment and music businesses, being the son of a Radio DJ/Recording Engineer father and dancer mother, and would play with his grandmother’s old school turntable every Friday after dinner. When he was in high school, he played in a few bands and because of his intense interest in music, his father built a…

I KNOW – I’m late on this, but just wanted to share some photos from last weekend’s shenanigans. Perhaps they’ll inspire you guys to indulge a bit this weekend as well?? The selfie game was in full effect as you can see from the above photo. Saturday Jon, Tara, Sean, and I hit up Greystone Manor to see the world-renowned DJ Dijital perform (and yes, the above photo was taken from inside the DJ Booth). While I didn’t get to spin any tracks myself, Dijital kept the beat ALIVE and it was a blast. Sunday was brunch, followed by a pool party at a chic boutique hotel in West Hollywood where I debuted a pair of Syndicut London’s NEWEST men’s swimsuit collection while popping bottles. Then we hit the town for the evening and bumped into a girl (in the last photo) who thought Robert, Jon, and I were famous…

I’ve decided to put myself up to a little challenge (as if my life weren’t busy enough); to blog everyday for the month of June. This idea just popped into my head about 38 seconds ago, so by writing it down and sharing it with all of you, I’m trying to hold myself accountable. ALSO – I know it’s June 3rd, so I’m a few days behind, HOWEVER, I will be making up for those other two days soon. These daily posts will probably more or less be a reflection of my thoughts/adventures so it’s going to be a bit different than the fashion-tastic and mouth-watering food posts I usually publish, but hey, what is life without a little variety? Biggest fear? Losing all my followers once they see what’s going on inside my head. **insert blushing-face emoji here** ALSO – I’ve installed a little pop-up feature on the site…

Last Friday, LA Travel Magazine unveiled their newest Spring issue at Supperclub in Hollywood. The event brought together magnates of the magazine industry, television stars, media influencers, and some really beautiful acrobats that were pouring champagne into glasses while swinging from a trapeze. Just another night in Hollywood, no biggie. LA Travel Magazine is a quarterly publication that informs and inspires travelers through breathtaking photos and stories that showcase the most luxurious travel destinations the world over. The spring issue will highlight some classic destinations and escapes, while also taking a peek into locales that are off the beaten path for the traveler truly looking for a one-of-a-kind getaway experience. The event was hosted by Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz, stars of the hit reality show, Vanderpump Rules, along with Andrea Feczko from How2Travelers and Jennifer McLaughlin and Michael Dunn; the editors of the magazine. Signature cocktails were provided by…

When I see Jon on Thursday, he says to me, “let’s go to Vegas.” This was just after I had told Steven that I really wanted to cut back on my drinking this weekend. Awesome. Now, that I used to klikk her for de beste bettingsider på nett and play online casino games. And at The Mukt but have never been to Las Vegas and we’ve all been trying to plan a trip where I can experience the wildness of the famed city. Jon’s friend from Chicago, also named Kyle, and his friend Kate were headed there for a show and invited us to tag along. So, the four of us hopped into Kate’s car on Friday and headed east, Vegas-bound, but before that we spend some time practicing online casino games at Nevada Online Casinos just to be some more familiar with casino games before heading out to the…

Every Sunday in LA, taste-makers, fun-seekers, and a litany of “who’s who” converge at Bagatelle, a Parisian-inspired restaurant in West Hollywood, for a boozy brunch. Think champagne showers, dancing on tables, and lots and lots of beautiful people. Seemed only natural for us to go, right?[L to R] Jon Challacomb, Steven Dougherty, Kyle Langan, Shawn Rougeron, Tara ReidJon graduated from college so we knew we had to celebrate. Upon entering Bagatelle, we were presented with a “punch bowl”, the main ingredients of which was 1 bottle of vodka and 2 bottles of champagne. BOTTOMS UP. Back in the Hamptons there’s a brunch event called Day and Night, which is basically the East Coast version of Bagatelle, so I was fairly familiar with the shenanigans that would be going on. It didn’t stop me from acting a fool, though.[Bottom Right, L to R] Cody Kelly, Adam Richards, Robert Hunter, Kyle Langan, Steven…

Last night, Skybar at the Mondrian hosted an entertainment industry event to which I was invited. I brought along my partner in crime, Corinne, because you could take that girl anywhere – even to a mortuary and she could make friends with a corpse. Here’s how the night played out…Corinne is in “the biz”, working for Disney and is currently shooting a big-budget feature that will be HUGE next year, so I knew she’d enjoy the soiree. She’s funny, outgoing, and has the same fearlessness that I have when attending events (ie: Golden Globes related nonsense), which I appreciate.We rolled up to Skybar, gave the kindly bouncer our names, and headed straight for the bar. The biggest selling point to the event were these “free cupcakes” that were massively hyped up, so naturally, the first thing we did after purchasing our libations was scope out to see where the fu*k…

When you live in a different city than where you grew up, it’s always fun when friends come to visit. Here’s my guide on the best activities to do on such occasions… My friend, Lauren, is one of my best. We’ve known each other for YEARS and YEARS, our families are friends, we went through high school together, and we’ve remained tight ever since. Lauren also gets mad kudos because she is one of the few friends of mine that has come to visit me every single year that I’ve lived in California full time. One of those visits may have been because of a work trip, but whatever, I’m totally counting it. This weekend Laur was in town again to take in the LA sights and one of the reasons she’s the best visitor is because she’s always down to do something new, fun, and exciting. Who wouldn’t want…

2014 marked my first annual Friendsgiving Festivities. I know. How did I go this long without partaking? But you know what? This year was one of the best Thanksgivings ever.I mean, I made a chocolate cheesecake FROM SCRATCH for crying out loud (look for the recipe soon!) and I was equally as impressed with the culinary skills of my friends. Our feast was QUITE the smorgasbord. My first time away from home on a holiday was 2005, I was a junior in High School, had my first job at ShopRite (woof), and had to work on Thanksgiving. Imagine my enthusiasm. My family had vacated our suburban hometown and jetted who knows where to some fabulously festive throw-down while I was stuck in a parking lot pushing shopping carts in 30 degree weather.After I was off-duty I sprinted home and one of my favorite friends, Marissa, who had graciously invited me…
