C & O Trattoria
Do you like listening to Frank Sinatra? Dean Martin? Louis Prima & Keely Smith? Do you like good wine? Great pasta? And low prices? Then you’ll love C & O! But we warn you, go on a weeknight because on weekends the crowds line up along the sidewalk!
WHAT a party tonight at Tommy Rays! It’s a fabulous new restaurant on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, and this was their Grand Opening bash! I joined the tons of people having drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and fun. Who was seen at the scene? First, there was Ed Begley Jr., a total gentlemen as well as a consummate actor. Ed, we love you! And I had such a cool conversation with Tasia Sherel from “Everybody Hates Chris.” Tasia was wearing a super outfit—with a stunning hat! I used to wear hats all the time, and seeing Tasia in one, I think I’ll start wearing one again!
. . .is almost like an old-fashioned Romantic Comedy – and I mean that in a GOOD way! I’m not sure why, but I went with low expectations. I didn’t EXPECT to like this movie – but I was surprised. It was fun from beginning to end – and I mean “especially” to Jude Law’s end.
Madewell, a new clothing store in Century City, had a super party for the holidays. The tasty goodies started before you even got in the door. Donuts, anyone? These were mini-fried doughnuts with a choice of toppings. You were questioned as you entered. Powdered sugar? Chocolate? Maple honey? Oreo Cookie? or Vanilla? What a fun way to start a bash—with a great dessert at the very beginning!
Who would pay money to see old ladies’ legs? That was the question posed by a skeptical critic when producer Riff Markowitz started “The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies” 16 years ago. The answer, as it turns out, is over two and a half million people from around the world!
The smash Broadway hit “Jersey Boys” is having its West Coast Premiere beginning December 1 st at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco. “Jersey Boys” is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons and how this group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time.
When I heard that the movie Sister Act had been turned into a musical, I thought it seemed like a good idea that would make a good show. After going to the Pasadena Playhouse, I realize it was a “perfect” idea that makes a fantastic show! The production sparkles with fun, zest, and disco!
“Slava’s Snowshow” is an internationally acclaimed theatrical experience that has its Los Angeles premiere over the holidays. It’s a spellbinding show that blends the art of clowning with stunning spectacle and inspiring visual images and fantasy. Filled with humor, poignancy, and imagination, it uniquely captures and entertains the child in all of us.
What a fantastic time we had at all the places we went! Marilyn gives a colorful rundown of some of Orange County’s most popular destinations:

New Orleans for the Christmas holidays! Why – you ask? Isn’t it still under water? Isn’t everything closed? Isn’t it empty? The answer is no, no and NO. Instead, think go, go, and GO!
