LA vs. War


After our night out at Goa, getting motivated to partake in culture vulture Sundays was a bit of a struggle but well worth it. The Firehouse downtown was hosting the weekend long event "LA vs. War" which was part of LA art week. This event hosted a melange of projects and art forms all in resistance to this 6 year long war we have been in. There were posters from the Center for the Study of Political Graphics, individual works, graffiti art, mixed media projects, and some really good djs! It gave a bunch of local LA artists the opportunity to showcase their projects.



The caliber of pieces varied; some seemed simple and the product of amateurs, while others were quite impressive and sent out quite strong messages.

Along with that there was also a graffiti contest going on and we were able to watch the artists in action.

This event attracted a rather diverse crowd, however the majority of people there were under 30 which I was thoroughly impressed by. Our generation has really stepped it up. Go us!


This was one of my favorite pieces...its title is "The Little Dictator." Clever clever!

And lastly we have the fashion forecast:

Bag- H&M
Houndstooth headband- Forever 21
Leggings- urban outfitters
Suede wedges- Marko (Israel)

Goa


Went with the ladies to the club Goa in LA last night. Love this review from Metromix. Pretty much summed it up- well except we SOOO did not wait in line for 3 hours. But we did fight in line for a few mins-- They run a tight ship over there at Goa- so if you go be prepared to schmooze with the promoter and befriend the "sidewalk monitors" in order to get in the fastest. The club had an Indian vibe (Goa is a resort town in India) and the ambiance was a lot like a Euro club. And it was a fun night! Now here is our fav fashion moment of the night:
Here's Lady L with Ronny:

Wicked!


Lady Ash and I went and saw Wicked last night. It was a fabulous production- from the performances, the costume, to the sets and lighting. We really really loved it- the music and the voices were just incredible. Megan Hilty as Glinda and Caissie Levy as Elphaba were spectacular, so endearing with gorgeous voices ( I was blown away my Caissie). So if you haven't seen it yet- get your asses to the theater people.

our outfits to the show:

Coat- Guess
Shoes- Betsey Johnson

Leather Jacket- Image
Missoni-inspired dress- H&M
Shoes- XXI

The Culturistas Remember the Daze

Miss D and I had the opportunity to go to the premiere of "Remember the Daze" at the Egyptian Theatre which was sponsored by Nylon and 7 for All Mankind. The actual movie I would rather forget but the party at Central afterwards made up for it! While the characters/actors were enjoyable, if there had been any form of plot in the film those painful 2 hours in the theater would have been a bit more bearable. Once the movie finally ended we dashed out and headed across the street to the party. Open bar and a lot of interesting people made for quite the amusing night!

While they rolled out the red carpet we decided casual chic was the way to go.

Danielle is wearing an ethnic print dress from H&M which she blogged about here. Her faux leather jacket is from Image.

My faux leather jacket is from a small boutique in London and my latest acquisition, gladiator heels are Guess by Marciano. They were a bit of a splurge but i was able to walk in them so well worth it.

Jill's shirt is vintage from Beacon's Closet in Brooklyn. It is Walter and she got it secondhand for $18. JEALOUS!
